Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Thanks guys! It was fun to join in.

Peter & Leon,

A very catchy song. Good write.
The references to 60's Radio Pop are appropriate...
That repeating guitar lick serves both of those purposes well.
Nice mix.
Good vocals. Janice's harmonies are a perfect fit.

Peter,

Great 60’s folk sound here . . . very appealing to the ear and gravitating melody. Sad thematically, but well executed in the write. Terrific harmonies, catchy chorus. Liked this one a lot. Good stuff!

All my best to you,

Deej

Great lyrics also.

You and Janice did a very good job here.
The lyrics are not giving much hope on love, but I think singing that is hoping for the opposite, isn't it? (only in this case!)

And I was glad you used the sitar too, though a little modestly, yet...

Have a nice day,
Hans


Thanks Hans

I like the harmonies too.

I'm not a fan of the sitar in the intro, but it works quite well in the outro.

And of course the chorus and Janice harmonies are the icing on the cake.
I would have loved to have her in the verses after the first chorus, but I guess she gets a lot of requests and the day only has 24 hours.

Overall, everyone involved did a great job smile


Thanks for the comments appreciate them.

Sitar, especially the outro part, was very cool indeed!

Good one, enjoyed.


Thanks Dave
The Variax is nice and versatile and makes recording easy by not having to change guitars around.

I feeling all gushy about this one. Fantastic song! This is one of my favorite genres. And you have done it well.

Vocals are one of Leon's best, and Janice's harmony is perfect for the chorus.

Love the 12-string sound!!!

Happy love song with a dark tone, makes me smile.
The intro reminds me of The Beatles and the 60's feel is present pleasantly.
Very enjoyable chorus with nice wistful melody and chording.
Good band, guitars sparkle nicely and sitar fits well also.
Good vocals, Leon's and Janice's voices blend together beautifully.
