A lovely song you have here. I do wish your voice were a bit more out front.

The only gripe I have with this is the bass of the Lounge Lizard. Sometimes it creates a rumble that overwhelms the rest of the music. It is likely something that could be cured with an EQ cut between 200-500 hz. Make it a wide Q but only a 2-3dB cut overall. That should leave a nice sound with room for your voice and guitar parts.

But the progression is well done. And as always I like your style!

Jon

Hi Tom,

Great song indeed!! I like the whole feel and the lyrics in particular...

I agree that the effect of the vocal, while interesting and maybe intended, might be better if a bit more forward...The contrast of another break to another key (Is it eflat? could break for moment to A flat...) ...but it might not add anything, now I listen again....

Anyway, thanks for getting this on for us. It is as usual, very beaytiful...

My Best!! John...(Johnny), (ellll) Rolling Eyes

This is nice to hear a different pallette rather than the normal piano you often use. I think the voice gets quieter as it progresses. Would love to see the lyrics to read along. I've been starting to post those as Jonsolo did that and I enjoyed being able to really appreciate the lyrical quality without having to concentrate so as not to miss any words. So glad to hear from you again. Another signature song in your truly unique and wonderful style.

Hey Tom from Florida (and all points on the globe) this is another Tom from Florida. I am finally able to hear people's music via computer. I would love to see the lyrics as well. I hear heartfelt emotion in your songs as always. Because you words are so careful crafted, your stories need to be read. I like the words I hear. I will give it some more listens to get them all.

Since I don't know your work outside of OSAM, it was kool to have the change in instruments. I appreciate what you do. I find your music intriguing. I need to be about a story....but then I will have to sing (and write well). It is hard to teach this old dog new tricks. I will do another vocal before OSAM is over.

Thanks for sharing and being a part of this group. I don't know how you do it if you are traveling everywhere. You should get an extra cookie from George.

Different sounds, but still with your style.
I didn't hear the original mix, but this sounds good.
You've created a great mood with this again.
