Excellent work putting Carroll's lyrics to music, especially the chorus. The instrumentation style works well and completes the package. Great song!

Love the song, the lyrics, and your singing. Great arrangement.

To my very non-expert ears, there's still something lacking in the mix. All the elements are there, but they don't seem to be connected together. It sounds a bit "clinical".

Did I mention I love the song? laugh

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

Great production all around and lyrically superb.
I can envision listening to this live at an outdoor concert where it goes on and on.
Very much enjoyed this.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

Late to the party Deej, so only hearing the updated version. Sounds good to me.
Very interesting thread, by the way. As others have commented, the support and constructive criticism one receives on this forum is a real pleasure.
Regards,
Leon

Hi DJ,

Wonderful lyrics and very well sung!
The melody grows with your performance, that's great.

I think I haven't heard your song before the update.
That's why I loved it, I think ;-)

On the other hand, I think I loved all your songs...

Andi, Peter, J&B, Misha, Ezekiel, David, Scott, Bass Thumper, Leon, and Hans:

Really appreciate all the listens and great feedback. Thanks for stopping in. Glad that the changes seemed to have worked. A few responses on the specific comments:

Andi: Yeah, drums are my achilles heel, and I struggled a bit finding just the right sound so they popped. Definitely worth revisiting if I decide to more with it.

David: I think that’s the very thing David S. was getting at, and I agree. It all seems solid enough, but there’s something lacking to take this song to the next level. Maybe it’s a live player. But I’m at a loss right now as to what that something is.

Leon: Yes, this board is amazing in how supportive it is in provided some really helpful feedback. It’s truly a privilege to be part of this community.

My best to you all . . . and sorry for the delay in getting back to some of you.

Deej
