This is great.
That rigid vocal suits the song.

Really well done, B.D.

Man you are good with those synth vocals....brilliant.
As been said a great up lifter song.
I really liked your backing tracks and your dynamics.

Two thumbs up

B.D.,
As Dave said, there`s very little pure pop posted here-your irresistibly good song makes me wish for more.
The vocal had me fooled; I had no idea it was a synth voice `til I listened to one of your introspective songs.
Very enjoyable music both; well written and skillfully realized.

“…unpretentious, meaningless, banal rock. No deeper message!” can often be just what is needed smile

The lyric is great and we were envisioning ourselves in the car headed west to the Rocky Mountains.

“No rush to be there I've got time to spare.
I sing along with every song I know.”

The above lines had Janice say, “oh yeah!”

The girls sound as good as ever and the band is ace.

Nice lyric vid also.

Good vibrations!

J&B

Hello om,
thanks for listening and your nice feedback.
Not sure if it will ever be a hit, but if so, you said it first smile

And of course you're right, there are many great songs written with only 4 chords.

There were a few instances where I'd have liked the voice to hold a note here & there but that's a creative choice you've made.

Thanks for listening, Ray. I always appreciate your feedback.
I think the shorter notes help the drive of the song better, but I haven't tried longer notes to be honest.
Noted for the next song smile

I am simply amazed at how well the synthesized vocals fit this style of music - it even sounds how Annie Lennox would have sung this song.

I also agree with others - with some extra work on an intro, lead break, and variations this could easily be a hit record.

Keep up the good work.

Best Regards
Nigel

Thanks, Nigel, for your comment and encouraging words.

I wanted to keep the song short and to the point (like a radio edit), but I'll keep your suggestions in mind, maybe I'll do a longer album version with more parts.

Since it's about driving, I might take the 'break' literally grin

You're too kind to even give me a nod on this gem, BD. TRUTH is, everyone, I was only able to find a spelling error when BD sent me this. He writes in English better than most people who admit it's their only language. Still, BD, what I enjoy most about "helping" you is that I get a preview of your songs. Makes me feel like a big shot with a backstage pass.

Thanks so much for listening to my song again Marty. Glad you still like it smile
As for my English, well, I have a dictionary and Google Translate is a good friend.

( shhh ... Marty only comes backstage to watch the girls. But don't tell him that I mentioned that )

Yes, women are superior (shhh, don't tell my wife I said that)

B.D.Thomas,

A very nice song!
What a pop melody!
Reminds me of an ABBA song.
The video is also perfect for this song.
Enjoyed my listen and watch a lot.

Best regards.

I really like this one BD. You gave it a good feeling throughout. I agree that it would with a driving lead guitar in there somewhere, but I have to say, I sure like it as is. The voice you chose was an excellent fit as well. Great post.

Amazing job putting this together. Perhaps not exactly music of my taste, but I can fully appreciate workmanship and effort. It was an interesting experience. Clear mix and listens very well. Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

Thanks, Misha, for listening to my song and commenting, especially if it's something you wouldn't normally listen to.
It's amazing what you can do these days with just a computer and a some ideas.
