Nice refresh of this classic track! I'm sorry to hear that you and your wife broke up after making this track. It's good you can still go back and work on it though. Lovin the new mix and beats! Really awesome work! I love your style!
can i ask you another one? how does it become a funk genre? is it because of the guitar pattern or loops or you just made it like an ideas in collaboration of other song and coming from the other artist, i like your so track much. :-)
Thanks a lot for the review.I'm not very good at defining genres but I thought the guitar had some funky pattern.For this one I downloaded a beatloop and then I recorded the guitars,bass and vocals.I don't know fruity loops,I'm using Cubase.
Cheers

nice track. can ask you on how to record my own loops or pattern using an acoustic guitar and putting in in fl9 co'z im using fruity loops 9.... thanks :-)
StÃÂphane - hello! A gift to hear you and Wayne work together again - the sounds are sublime, but i gotta step out on a limb here and say the lyrics would be better served with drum in the last verse/chorus - nothing splashy but something that anchors the point - the finality, the track starts with such lightness, but by the end things just ain't funny anymore. well, how's that for two cents, my friend - peace.
Hey Michael,
Thanks for your review.I think you got a point with the drums in the end.I listened to the track again and you're definitely right!The problem is that I'm not a beatmaker really so I thought maybe you'd like to add the drums?
Thanks a lot for the very relevant suggestion anyway
Cheers

I noticed the panning right away with the guitars, really opens things up for the vocals. Catchy, nice lyrics, bass was cool as well. Had a Beatles(Mr. Moonlight, think that's the name of it) feel to it. dl and fav!
Wow, interesting mix, you chopped and placed things where you wanted them, cool! I was wondering what you were doing over there with all those tracks I sent, doing some mixing I hear!!!
Your vocals really stand out now and they sound great too. No bass? It was a bit busy with the mando, I didn't care for it when I put the two together, well, they were recorded seperately and prob not meant to be in the same mix anyway.
Hi Wayne,
I felt so stupid when you told me about panning last time and so I have to thank you again cause I've been remixing a lot of my tracks these last days and some were really improved I think thanks to that.I made a version with the bass but I still think it's a bit busy with.
Cheers
StÃÂphane
I love how well this song is crafted.Great hamonies,nice notes before the drums and bass come in.A cheerfully sad song,Dm then Fm on end of chorus I think? creates a nice early Beatlesque feel,Love it.
Thanks Robert,
I listened to the Beatles a billion times so at one point,the music you listen to and love just comes out in your tracks.
Really happy you like this one
Cheers

Nice understated guitars always sound great to me, so I like this track a lot. The mix is excellent too, though I don't know why you aren't satisfied with the drums ~ I think they go well with the tone of the song, though I probably would have added heavier kick and low snare flams here and there (but that's just my personal taste). All in all, a rather fine job, as is your usual effort.
kik A$$, serious upgrade this one.. i liked the acoustic version u did, but this is complete bro. awesome man.. :-)
@wayne - mandolin goes like cream, very very well executed..
Great guitar sound and song,It really does sound good stripped.For myself I hear a Santana lead maybe or clean and jazzy,I tend to think on guitar terms.I might have to plug the guitar in and jam with this one myself!

Hey Frenchkid,I played with this.You know the more I listen it seemed to have a complete life of it's own,everything I tried took away instead of adding to,you don't want to cover up that sweet mandolin.It does stand alone as a great song,I have played guitar long enough to know when not to.Now having said that,let's definitly do something together!
not been in loopsland for a while so I thought I'd check out my "regular reviewers"...came to this track of yours and was straight into the groove on this one so I downloaded it. have a few ideas so if you can send me your e-mail I could send you a wav file later. Songwriting in its best form is from experience, from the heart. This is what you have here. a top-notch song, hope I can do it justice by adding a little backing.
StÃÂphane, your delivery is so deadpan it would take somebody way too involved with themselves to be offended by this off-kilter and sweet song. The guitar arrangement is perfect.
hi Wayne,
Thanks for the review and the "magic" tracks you sent me.I won't be able to do the mix this weekend cause I'm out but i'll send it to you probably early next week
Speak to ya
StÃÂphane
You decided to go with an electric rather than the acoustic, I think you made a good decision. Nice vocal performance and nice effects on them. Excellent recording overall, is it mastered?
I'm volunteering to add a bass line when you get to that point. Percussion, bongos, and more percussion, lol!!!! That's all I have to say about that.
Hi French kid.
When I listen to this tune I get this urge to play guitar, good music does that to me.
Can't wait to hear the finished piece and how you will arrange the tune. (Probably a bit differnt than I.)
Again a fantastic song.
Cheers

if you add anything make sure you leave the intro alone and gradually build it up....still sounds great as is though
Well done
Trax
Intro alone and gradual build up is exactly what I had in mind so I'm glad we agree
