The Sheepdogs (2006 - not 7 years, but close) Royal Blood That's all I got though...

Thanks for the feedback. I'm actually glad you think the change at 2:27 seems awkward as it is intentionally jarring. Sounds like maybe it doesn't work for ya, but that's cool. It's great to get that perspective. Really appreciate you taking the time to leave your thoughts.

Perhaps I am a little on the cynical side, but I am left with the feeling that you either work for followersgrow or since you mentioned that you did this for 4 or 5 times for various artists, you are trying to generate leads for the service you offer.

Okay, cool. Thanks! I'll think on this some more.

The original disappointed me to be honest. I like this one better. I expected the original to be a female singer, so I had an instant bias. I hear ya on the pitchy thing. I definitely like music that sounds human over studio-perfect production. Every time. I always prefer something that just...

Never heard the original before, but this sounds pretty good. I know you only specifically asked about the piano, but if I may... The radio-ish sounding treatment of the vocal against the fuller bodied sounding instruments works well I think. The vocals stand out pretty effortless as a result...

Gordon fan here. There is something about his songwriting and how he delivers a performance that gets under my skin and haunts me. You know, I don't think I even have anything of his in my music collection, but whenever I hear him, I stop and listen. He is one of those rare artists who can...

Thanks for the feedback, easlern. Are you talking about the intro bit before the band comes in or when the full band jumps in? In the intro bit, there are actually 4 guitar tracks that were purposefully selected because of how loose they sounded in relation to each other. I was going for a...

Cheers LeadPaint. You know, we really appreciate that you just dropped in to say "cool song". Feels good! Thanks a lot for that.

Thanks Robus. I went back and forth quite a bit with different levels. Maybe I went too far. Added to my notes for a tweaking session.

Ah! The version posted in the other place was a very long time ago, and to be honest, it's best if you don't hear it because it is a terrible mix :). That is indeed sammydix you are hearing. We have done somewhere around 8 or 9 songs together and I am in the process of trying to get the tracks...

Very good to hear that it is translating in your room, Chili. Indeed, this is quite different from other songs on the album. This is the only song where we get into syncopated rhythms. It sits amongst songs that get either funky, sentimental, sleazy, heavy, groovy, atmospheric or some other...

Funny you mentioned Queens because I was thinking that as I was listening. I hear it in pretty much every aspect of the song, especially in the vocal phrasing. Note that I am not at all implying any negativity in this comment. In fact, Queens is up there with my top favourite 2 or 3 bands of all...

This is pretty badass. I like a lot of what I am hearing here. Everything is very roomy. Reminds me a lot of old Melvins, Helmet or maybe even into some Orange Goblin territory. It's a bit of a 'spacier' take on the sludgy thing though. I am digging this a lot. Really nothing that I could...

Yeah, I am liking this latest iteration. I think all the moves you made had positive effect on the mix. There is really only one little nit that I have at this point, and that is with the tambourine. It is very distracting to me. It really commands my attention, to the point where it draws me...

I hear ya. A much earlier mix of this was posted on a different site a couple years back and if I recall correctly, the syncopation was a subject of discussion then as well. It's something that folks seem to either really like or it just doesn't agree with them. Luckily, it seems skewed towards...

Thanks Bulls Hit. I'd counter that it grooves like a mother f$%^@#r, but that's just my opinion :). Amelodic things happening from time to time isn't unintentional. I know there are aspects to this song that will not be everybody's cuppa, but everything you hear is the way it is on purpose for...

Please feel complete freedom in sharing any thoughts you have. Good, bad, indifferent, about the song, about the mix, about the vibe, whatever. Anything is welcome. This song is destined for a release along with 7 or 8 other songs at some point in the future. I am hoping that will be in 2016...

Thanks guys. She has a loving home. Oh man, Bob that sucks. I have learned never to sell a guitar even if it seems like a good idea. I have bought and sold a few over the years and at one point or another, I inevitably regret letting them go.

I have been coveting just such a guitar for over 20 years. The tone is right in between an SG and a LP. Insane sustain and those minis have a great bite to them. My fingers are killing me. It's a beautiful thing.
