As a member of this little band, I am a little biassed, but this is certainly one of the most satisfying collabs I've done at MJ.

Coop sent the original Strats and kit track with his unmistakeable vocal - I tried to turn it into an RnB song but was quickly redirected. Then Anne's vocal arrived and it all seemed so obvious where this needed to go.

I love the cool, rolling feel on this, the story is great (make sure you read the words!), and Coop and Anne perform really well. It all just fell together so easily, as Coop said in an email this morning (see below). This one goes into my iPod (as soon as I get it to talk to my mac) - but then again, I don't have to put it there - it's indelibly burned into my brain :)

Good song Coop!

I don't think Coop will mind if I quote the email I just mentioned:

"THE Complexity of true Collaboration is pretty astounding, especially when it covers thousands of miles and a dozen time zones.
Starting out, the Song had no Harmony, no Bass, a B3 wasn%u2019t even thought of, never mind several versions of each.
Most Collabs are more like being a %u201Csession man%u201D, you play your part, send it off and that%u2019s a Collab.
This Song has been entirely different.
This one just kept on evolving like we were all in the same Studio.
The Master Take is the %u201CFinal%u201D, Mixed on the beaches of Australia, with its incredible Soundstage and Detail."

Coop also said:
"if i knew this would turn out so good, i woulda made it better."

Thanks Coop, got another?

.. Anne channeling Emmylou works for me as well :)

I saw Emmylou a in 2003 when she was the opening act for Neil Young and Crazy Horse. I'll agree with you here- 100%

Man, what planet was I On to Miss That Match Up?!

Wow.

Coop, if you haven't already seen it, see NY and Emmylou in "Heart Of Gold", NY's 2005 (?) DVD.

Great writing! This has a great hook because the sentiment is so succinctly stated. Unique stated, universally recognizable feeling. Great jobs all around; great song Coop.

But with a team like this, what else can we expect?
Wonderful poetic lyrics, great playing and production - when's the world tour??

[ Reply to This ]

..straight up song, neat arrangement. It's like a lovely blend of Tom Petty, Dire Straits, Bruce Springsteen and Lindsey Buckingham on lead guitar :o)

Fine lyrics, playing and singing all round.

Mix sounds good too on these HD445s I've got on at the mo.

A few 'woah woah' 'yeh-ah' 'uh huh' 'oo': kinda gruffly sung off the cuff bits I expected in the background of the outro chorus...lent itself to that kinda thang if you ask me... but .. er... you didn't. lol. ;o)

This one needs to be spread! I loved the song all around and the lyrics are fantastic. Very sucint but powerful! VERY powerful! As Joe Brady said.. is universal... impossible not to relate to. Congratulations! I'll spread the word! :-)

this has that certain undefinable spark that gives a song legs long after it rotates through... or in the real word would keep it in the classic rotation...

[ Reply to This ]

I like it.... The sounds on the drums... Pretty cool.... And solid good vocals.... Thumbs up... Thanks for sharing...

[ Reply to This ]

This is very reminiscent of the great Aussie band The GoBetweens circa 16 Lovers Lane album. Great sound!

Enjoy the lead guitars and how they accent each other.

Thanks for sharing

I'd missed this one. Nothing else I can add - a fantastic collab.
Realy enjoyed listening

I like everything about this piece. The music is classic. The real treat, after the excellent guitar soloing, is the vocals. Nice to hear Anne's lovely harmony vox behind the Coops lead vox. And the bass is exactly what it needs to be. No more. No less. BRAVO all!

Be well!

[ Reply to This ]

That this is a well-constructed song and arrangement. I love the vocals and the organ sound is great.

I would suggest a cleaner lead guitar sound. The notes are good, but the distortion runs contrary to the overall feel of the song.

Excellent song.

AS soon as the new Equip arrives (All Tube D/I amp) it will all be just nostalgia.

Appreciation and compliments,
