hey coop, good to hear from you again..

nice song man.. sounds pretty happy to me!

WATYF will be very excited..

Merry Christmas to ya me boy!
 
just wanted to be the first to welcome you back (but sabbath beat me to that i guess), cause i'm sure there will be like 100 replies to this thread by the end of the day. great to have you back! i'll be back to edit this post with comments.

.......i'm back
great song! as usual i guess. some things don't change. sounds pretty happy to me.

this is stronger harmony than i remember hearing from you in the past. very tight in places. especially when it first comes in, very pro sounding there. and more head voice than i remember from you as well, sounds very cool.

the guitar sounds better than i remember too. it's got a nice warm tone imo. nothing to change there except maybe doing something to tame the fret noise. it's a wee bit loud. aside from that, this is better than anything i've ever done.

so glad to have you back. looking forward to the next post already. i still listen to all of your other posts frequently.
 
The cat-man...with better pitch and sustain in his voice.

Love it, man. You have some catching up to do. Damned good to *hear* you again. Enjoy this thread.
 
Good to hear from you again man!This tune is sweet.Nice vocals and guitars as always.

Merry Christmas!

Kramer
 
I like it (and yeah, welcome back and shit :D ).

I can't stand fingers-being-pulled-across-the-strings sound, it's a little annoying (is there another way of playing those chords open to eliminate the bar chords?).

Nice harmonies. Typically Erland, great!
 
......nice to hear you again man. Beautiful song, and ....as usual...world class vocs.


......elixirs man......



g w/ erlands obligatory 5:)
 
Great song! I love it the harmonies. Great X-mas song.

Speaking of X-mas songs. I have a request if Santa would be so nice as to grant it.

My favorite Erland song of all time is the one where the chorus goes..."We don't even care girl cause you know its a brand new day..."

Could you post it again? When I upgraded my computer at work I lost it.

Thanks Santa!
 
Hey Erland!
Wow,great to hear from you again my friend!
You made my holidays complete.:D

Really sweeeet song!
I love the guitar sound you got,very full and rich.
Is it doubled?
Did you get a new mic,man everything sounds just great.

Vocals and writing were excellent as always.

Glad your back,and have your self a merry little Christmas!:)

Pete
 
OH....!!!!

MY....!!!

GOSH....!!!!


Look who's back!!!

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

I almost had a heart attack when I saw the word "wee" in a thread title... :D


oh yeah.. I gotta go listen to the song... sorry.. I'll brb. :p


WATYF
 
dude... what new gear did you get...??? This mix sounds great. The gits and the vocals. I agree that your harmonies are tighter than they used to be... but that git sounds killer... did you get a new one?



(dang it's good to hear your voice again... :p )


WATYF
 
The vocals and git both sound really nice!
The "fret noise" made a nice percussive effect, and helped to drive the rhythm forward, but I thought it was a bit too prominent in the mix. I felt like it was a tad over used too.

Great song, with a great feel!
 
Well I'll be. Erland my friend! Great to see you back. I love the tune as usual. The finger squeeks are a little prominent but what the hell. It's good to hear you again. Merry christmas.:cool:
 
wow thanks

thanks for welcoming me back so warmly. You guys are the best. Man there are loads of songs to check out, nice.

B.SABBATH. Hey and a merry crimbo to you too. Great to know your listening. I look farward to indulging in your music today. Excellent.

erichenryus. Great to hear from you too! man you always make me feel awsome after reading your post. I couln't live without a guitar in Spain so i baught a new one. Its a big red American beast! i have had some great times with it and my confidence with singing and playing is getting great. Speak to you soon.

chrisharris. hi Chris. That was such a cool thing to say. Cheers and I am glad you liked it. I recorded three songs in one day so I will try and Mp3afy them....

Kramer. Merry Christmas mate. I am chuffed you liked the tune.

Pinky. Typicaly cool cheers man. Yeh sorry about the fret noises. The more you listen the more noticable it becomes. The cool thing for me about this song is the whole thing is played with one finger! Its a one finger crimbo song. I hope it didnt distract too much.

Guernica. That is so great. thankyou ever so much for being so nice and I hope next few still sit well with you. bye mate

VirtualSamana. Ah, that is just so nice. I cant believe you have a favorite Erland song, who is he?, oh thats me.... Merry Christmas, one christmas wish granted very soon...later

muzeman. have your self a merry little christmas. Its great to hear from you Pete. i am still using your dynamic. Its great, I have finally found a nice setting on the BR that sounds better with the mic. Its crazy though, i recorded about three songs in a morning on my last week in Spain (i am studying there) and it was a time when there were less mopeds, less people and lots of time. I am so surprised you cant hear the bells and market noises in the background! Speak to you soon and merry christmas. Erland yup the guitar is twice.

WATYF. hey man, great to see you again. You always treat me well and I am so glad you still dig the songs. No new gear but lots of exciting inspiration. Still using the cheeky wee 4 track but i think I have got the hang of it better. I coulnt live with out a guitar in Spain so I baught a big red beast. It sounds pretty nice and we have had some amazing times.

Michael Jones. hi there. i am glad you liked it. i agree with the fret noise now I listen again and the more i listen the more noticable it becomes. the cool thing is the whole song is played with 1 finger, hence the slidin about. Thankyou for listening and the great comments. bye

You guys made this chilly scottish morning warm.


:)

Track, great to hear from you. very merry crimbo!!!
 
Man, the only people that I could name all disappeared around when I went back home for summer. Since then, I haven't really been active here cuz I don't feel like I know anyone here anymore...

But, yeah!! our old friend, Erland is back :)


I think this song is happy and sad. Definetely a good tune.

Now I can feel Christmas !!

AL
 
Pretty much of them fret-noises, but they're almost like a rhythm section. To me this song sounds more sad than happy... Sorry :D

Nice song, I didn't pay much attention to the mix. This is pretty minimalistic and I like it. A good christmas song, as they're not always happy either.
 
I know some don't like the fret noises but I always did,so you'lle get no complaints here.I've got to immediately comment on your excellent vocal sound.mix sounds grrrreat,too!Been awhile but you came back strong,nice job.
 
MAN, HAVE I MISSED YOUR STUFF!!!

Listening thru phones and I love the guitar sound you got on this. Nice and warm as are the vocals. I like fret noise so, not problem there. NSYNC doesnt have any fret noise in their music so what does that tell you??
Well worth the wait my friend, dont stray away for so long

Cheers
Mike
 
your harmonies are great. i agree that this recording sounds better than anything you've done before...

any chance of a re-recording of 'from a boy to a girl'? could sound even better with the new skills.
