Day Great voice and melody. Love the layered guitars and keys. Really hooky melodic ideas throughout. This reminds me a tad of Lindsay Buckingham, one of my fave pop artists. Love the musical interludes...how this isn't in any hurry...and just continues to groove but with great variations on the theme. Awesome steel break. Excellent track!

Thanks KC Your comment re: the mix means a lot. I have been listening to your stuff and admiring the crisp clarity of your mixes and wondering how you get them so clean and big sounding? So thanks again and if you have any big crisp tips to pass on that would be great! SG Check out my latest song called A Fly

A quality arrangement... Hi Stan. Not self indulgent, just a quality arrangement supporting a fine song. I like your vocals and your guitar work varies things up nicely. Like others, the pedal steel is a highlight. Thanks for the D/L. Take care, Peter. Check out my latest song called Autumn Falling

Cool vocal I love the vocal tone you get, and the richly textured backing is great listening. Bit of a Paul McCartney feel it seems to me. How did you get that pedal steel sound? I'm hoping it's something in Garageband that I haven't found yet! Awesome! Check out my latest song called Close to Midnight w/ alackbass, rok41, paul f. page, & KyasheMusic

I am 13 seconds into this and I love it!! The vocals, the groove, its all very cool!! I love the choruses(what a cool little hook). I agree with Andrew (cool arrangement) " Years ago I played in a band, spent my nights as a music man"---Wonderful. I would love to see the lyrics posted as well! The understated mix adds old school flavor to me. Check out my latest song called Prelude and Jam W/Ibstrat

Sweet song here I would declare this experiment worth polishing up, and it won't take much... really great music and performance here. Mix is pretty clean, despite so much stuff going on (and I like all the stuff that's going on), but you may want to move some of the harmony-singing away from center so they don't compete with the main voice (you've done this in some places, not others.) Perhaps a tiny bit more "ebb and flow" dynamics (add/delete some tracks in different sections) to keep it from sounding too "even" throughout. Also, excellent artwork, you do that too? ttfn, Drakonis Check out my latest song called Belle Aire (for Mandolin Orchestra)

Re: polishing up Thanks for your comments and suggestions This kind of critique is exactly what I need. I went back and had another listen and I can hear what you mean buy moving the harmony sing a little to the right and left to separate the voices from the main in the center. And I do hear your suggestion about keeping it from sounding too even throughout ... dynamics is something I will have to work at in my mixes. And yes I did the artwork. It is a combination of carbon pencil and pastel. SG Check out my latest song called A Fly

From the start I really like the sound of this - smooth and well produced. Great vocals too. The only thing I can think of that might improve it is to use something like Ozone to brighten up the mix. Ozone has been my "secret ingredient" for a while now - it just sparks up a mix really well. You can download a trial/demo version at the Izotope site. Terrific playing and singing too Stan - just a great post. Cheers from Oz, Neil Check out my latest song called News Is Gonna Break

Pedal steel I've done this slicing and dicing of GB loops for a pedal steel track and know how difficult it is to get such a smooth sounding track. Congratulations! Check out my latest song called News Is Gonna Break

Thanks! Thanks Neil! So thats one of the magic ingredients to a crisp sparkly sound. I keep hearing these wonderful bright full mixes and I think "how do they get that sound"? I really appreciate the tip and I am definitely going to try ozone! Thanks for listening and for the pedal steel compliment ... it was a challenge so I am happy you liked it.

Day This is one chill tune, gadz. it sounds nothing like them, but it brings Roxy Music's Avalon to mind for some reason. As for the mix, sounds like some of the guitars are flowing too much pass the 120hz zone on the low end and losing some of their clarity. I'd high-pass a few (but not by the exact same amount) to give them some individuality. I'd also lo-pass the bass a bit to clear up some highs it doesn't need. By the way, you're a good songwriter, dude. Well written. Check out my latest song called House Terrace w/Yomar

Avalon Great tune! I really appreciate your comment. And especially your mix tips. When I read this I didn't know what hi-pass, low-pass and hz meant but did a google search and I think I've got it all figured out. Thanks! SG Check out my latest song called A Fly

all in a day what a great arrangement and production. doesn't sound too busy to me....sounds rich but clear. really digging your vocal style and delivery......you turn into paul simon at 2.22....(in a really god way). yeah maybe you could have got out earlier...but this is so good on the ear that you could stick it on the car stereo....and just keep on drivin'.
