Wow Deej, another killer trick from you. As soon as you start to sing your voice is instantly recognizable and that’s a great thing. The lead guitar fits like a hand in a glove. So well done. I never tire of listening to you, Tom

David C, Peter, Vic, Dave, Bob, BD, Dan, Brad, Frank, om, and Tom:

Thanks all for the listens and kind words.. I never quite thought this song would work well, and am glad it seems to have clicked. Much appreciated!

Brad re the Lead Guitar: I think a lot of that echo is from the RT itself. I don’t have a heavy amount of reverb or delay on it (I used a CLA Waves plug-ing and those setting are fairly moderate). I also put a little reverb on the song as a whole, but also fairly minimal.

Have a great weekend, all!

Deej

Deej, what an emotional powerhouse of a song.
Outstanding vocal and lyrics....brilliant work.
Super backing tracks with great dynamics...again brilliant work
The mix was spot on.
This is your best to date IMHO.

It seems that you have saved your best songs for last, they are getting just better and better, just like In Another World, this is another classic sounding rock song (ballad like I Don't Want To Miss A Thing/Aerosmith).
Nice intro. Strong chorus melody, enjoyed those chords.
Excellent high quality vocal performance, really like the held "she" note.
Really beautiful solo guitar (reminding me of Rough Boy by Z.Z.Top)
The piano/synth only bridge part sounds perfect, revealing strong emotions.

Deej,

Very emotional song!
The splendor of your vocals is fully demonstrated.
Whether it's a slow ballad or an up-tempo song, your vocals are just amazing.
If you have any songs you've made in the past that haven't been post on this forum yet, please feel free to share them.
I'm always looking forward to them.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Shigeki Adachi

I sure can relate to old songs never recorded:)

Seriously, though, this is good. Very authentic and everything fits together well, including your strong vocal, which at times had me thinking of Cat Stevens.

It can be a challenge to get BiaB to do exactly what we want, but your efforts paid off. Well done.

“But more so, I always thought it needed a smoother, more soulful vocal than I could muster. “

Deej, you sell yourself short! Your vocal is SOULFUL and we cannot imagine anyone else singing this song.

The band sets the mood perfectly for the lyric and the piano works really well.

The killer RT guitar solo oozes emotion too.

We don’t know how this compares to your original but this is a winner all the way!
