Hey X,

Love the lyrics, vocals, harmonies and piano on this one . While I love the heavy drum sound itself, it seems a bit overpowering maybe given the rest of the arrangement?

Your harmonies are really very distinctive...after only a milisecond or so, it is instantly recognizable as being you. Cool.

I listened to the unplugged intro version a couple of times btw...

Wig,
It's very you & that's an excellent start.
I really enjoyed this but even so wondered what it's be like with less or no drums.
your harmonies are spot on and a signature part of your sound.
Nice juxtaposition with the title & a terrific lyrical theme.
thanks for posting this.

Try spreading drums over a wider soundfield - it's all hardly centered now - and I believe this will express the value of Your musical skills in a better way.

Otherwise, Nice 2 hear!

Very cool. The Piano is very fitting and played nicely. Expected something about them commies in there too.

Ok, checked out both versions this time...much more of a difference than I thought (not just the intro). Drums sound totally different.

The "full intro" version has perhaps better overall balance, but I much prefer the raw sound of the drums in the "unplugged intro" version - although I still find them to be a bit overpowering volume-wise. I also prefer the fact that the piano and other items join in a little later on this version as there is contrast here not found when everything is thrown in right from the start...your arrangements have so much going on - it's nice to have a simple intro like that imho....did I mention I love the piano??

Well, Mike,

I spread out the stereo field of the kit as you mentioned, but I went too far. One of the toms is in left field. Thanks for pointing that out to me as I really need your help and I'm so grateful for your time.

Wig, this is one of your best songs, yet!
Yes your voice and your style are very distinctive. Beautifully executed, great lyrics...I simply can't find anything I don't like in the recording. The song is simply too powerful with its smooth velvet texture. Your talent really shines thru here!

Thanks, Joey,

I wish you would go over to ST and take a look around. You would be most welcome there.
