Well, you just showed us your magic, Marty! wink

The lyric works very well with the reggae style and your vocal fits the “happy” mood perfectly. Ray’s bass is so good and reminded us of how much we enjoyed his bass performance on our remake of our song, Rewind.

Man, you did a fine job of mixing all those tracks and the horns and steel drums had us feeling like we were at a party.

This is Janice’s favorite line:

“Show me the magic, and everything else won't seem so tragic.”

Enjoyed the audio and the video!

But the results are always cool
That's also the good thing about BiaB, you can try out everything.
You and Ray are really doing a great job
Very Good collaboration
Many greetings

Thanks, Andi. Yeah, I've always loved that about BiaB --it's ability to bring our creativity to its highest level.

Thanks, you guys!! Yeah, it was a bear of a mix for sure, and you came to mind many times throughout, Bud. Janice, that's my favorite line, too. It's tough to rhyme magic.

Marty & Ray,
I am glad Scott bumped this cool tune! Reggae is one of my favorite genres and this is a very neat reincarnation of the tune. Ray bass works absolutely great on it. Marty, you got the right voice for reggae tunes, you definitely should do more! Mixed and listens very well! Thank you for sharing,
Misha.

P.S. Unfortunately Reggae/Ska is very narrowly represented in BIAB. If you are up for it, please find a minute and request more genre oriented material in "Styles and RealTracks Wishlist" on the forum. I did my share of whining on subject. Maybe they will do it if they'll see more interest? smile

Thank you David, Misha and Scott. I thoroughly appreciate it. Ray is such a good guy to collab with and those horns were fun with what I call the whack-a-mole mix.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Ah, nothing can go wrong when starting with a steel drum intro, straight to the mood. Catchy groove, Ray's bass is of course the highlight, but those horns really show your magic smile And those drums breaks deliver the romance-filled "crazy feeling from floor to ceiling" very well, now I can't get my feet back on the floor wink
