The Human League - had a big impact on me as I was a kid at the time. I think you singing on this tune is actually your natural progression for your vocals. Keep going - your doing fine :-)

Melodyne - I checked it out - not cheap. If you hadn't told us you used it, we would have never known!

Cool Beans....George!

This is a great song. This is a top notch production...as usual. It is solidly constructed...as usual. Awesome...awesome! The repetitive bass and three chord structure is perfect for this song. It is like an exciting carnival ride going around and around while the song structure focuses us on the lyrics.

Now that you have ventured out with Melodyne you must continue to go this direction. This is very sellable!

Thanks brother!

Interesting arrangement, quite different from I would normally expect from you in terms of beat and power. Did you use your new M3 in this tune BTW?

No, Sewa, that's still the TS. It's an oldie that I re-wrote so maybe that's part of the difference in style. I thought it would be a good exercise to make myself fix the problem lyrics in the 2nd verse and actually sequence and sing the whole thing as properly as I could do it.

Jazlover, I'm glad you related to this style of composition, I used to do these sort of pieces when i was on the guitar, I would strum and sing solo. Now with a keyboard its a different experience. But the M3 can 'strum' though I haven't figured out how to set it up yet, but I may be able to do some better acoustic type stuff since I've been going more to the elctronic side without the 6 string.

Well sir, You had me at the first few bars of the intro...then I just got carried along on a "sweet" journey. Your vocal is "good to go" and I would love to hear it a bit hotter in the mix as well but you`re driving this car and what a fine ride it is. Kudos George!
CHEERS!

.......Love the bells at the end!
