Love the stand up bass, sounds great. Nice mix of instruments, cool keys, piano. My first track of the day, great way to get it started. Liked how you finished with the piano with some great jazzy notes in there!

Well done, great track!

Wayne

I've never heard the original either, sorry. I must say the lyrics are great, lol. Vocal performance great, piano could use some punch like some compression but it's well played.

Your singing talent is right there ready to be heard, you are certainly powerful. Like others have said and if you can afford to do so, look to improve your vocal recording setup. A digital interface, condenser mic, pop filter and you will get some great quality recordings and gain control of those pipes. :)

Cool cover, made me smile. Welcome to the loop!

Wayne

Excellent track, I love acoustic music! But is this some kind of cruel trick? Where is the rest of the song? lol.

I see that this is a work in progress, still it sounds great, live and some great playing and singing. Hope you finish it up, like it so far.

Wayne

What a great collection of sounds, a pleasure for my ears! I like what beerling1970 said about "tubular bells", I can hear that reference once I read that. Is that my mando loop in there? cool.

It is a nice recording as well. There are a lot of instruments with similar frequencies but you managed to keep them all separated in the mix very well. Listened on my headphones, sounds great!

Wayne

Wow, nice track! The whole track sounds well mixed and well constructed. The vocal pad/sample is nice, gives the song a human feel. Cool relaxed but upbeat and positive vibe.

Wayne

Sorry I missed this one and the late comment. I must say the bass really has a big part in this track and being a bass player I can certainly dig that. It seems a little more subdued than some of your more recent releases but it's still a cool, interesting track with lots to keep me listening.

It's good you can keep your music fresh and not stagnant, you always seem to change things up but stay within your own realm.

Great as always!

Wayne

The mix sounds great, clear. The vocals work great with the music. I like acoustic guitar mixed with any style of music. It is upbeat, a bit mainstream but a little bit more Indie Folk/Pop to me. Nice job!

Wayne

Mix sounds great and the track is wonderful. I love the combination of acoustic guitar and piano. Well done, hope you find a singer.

Wayne

Well done Richie and Pauline! I am not familiar with the original so I have no expectations going into this. Wow! This is such a great pop track. There is a nice vibe here, you have created a peaceful easy feeling. Beautiful lyrics, the strings give it a classic pop feel. Excellent!!

And I do dig that last note!!

Wayne

I live at the beach and this is exactly what I like to hear during the hot summer, cool vibes. Mix sounds great, love the horns and the bongos and other percussion. Cool track!

Wayne

The change at 1:55 was a bit unexpected but I really liked the direction you took it. The intro was very cool as well. This song really kicks ass! Well done.

Wayne

Nice description, knew(almost) what to expect. :)

Great production, as usual, and a nice composition. I love this kind of music, really brings you back to a simpler time. Excellent job!

Wayne

Well done guys, nice job! It has a '50's ballad feel with the tremolo guitar and chord progression but there is a modern aspect to it that makes it feel fresh. Really enjoyed the track!

Gonna dl and fav this so thanks for sharing!

Wayne

I was reading your response to staticnomad about how you produced the vocal parts, that must have been a fun challenge, like creating your own language in a way. I like them, they are a nice touch.

Not my typical music listen so I can't really get into the ins and outs of trance but I did like the track. Nice choice of instruments, things all seem to work well together and it's a great mix.

Well done Simon!

Wayne

The mix sounds real good, you still using headphones to mix? Oh, I feel the love, lol. 10:26 long, I could never do that, you seem to have a knack for it.

Nice transition between tracks and I like that "eh" vocal sample. I also like the drum pattern in the last part, that is a good way to make things interesting in a long track.

Well done, as usual!

Wayne

Well played and recorded. I could listen to this kind of music all day, what a treat, thanks!

Wayne

Dig the whole feel of this track, cool world vibe to open things up then a big change of pace. Such a cool way to incorporate rock with middle eastern sounding instruments. The short breaks are my favorite parts, lol. Drumming is intense, the guitar rocks and everything else just fits perfectly. Great track!

Instant fav and I will dl this so thanks in advance.

Wayne

Really great performance on the singing, the vocal layering is sweet and I dig the lyrics! I love singer songwriter stuff, a guitar and singer is so honest and exposing to a degree. Great job, glad I could contribute in a small way to this wonderful track.

faved and dl'd, thanks for sharing!

Wayne

This one is getting the blood flowing this morning, starts off great and the fade in of the synth is nice. The vocal samples work. Like the change at about 3:20 when you bring in that kick and that introduces you to the next section, good transition which seems to change the intensity a bit.

I know how much the saw synth gets used in electronic genres but it's one sound I have a hard time absorbing. Maybe just because I was raised on more organic sounds. It is effective as the song progresses though.

Pretty cool mix, well done!

Wayne

The beat is solid and you left enough space for some vocals. Hope you can add some and put the cherry on top of the cake!

Wayne

Great relaxed feel to the track. Loved the percussion and the live feel to the track. Great Sunday morning music. The guitars are well played and it's a nice track, well done!

Wayne

Excellent job Scott! You've captured the feel of that era for sure. Great choice of instruments, fitting for this type of music. I have always loved music from this era and style because they feature great catchy guitar riffs and fills and usually a great guitar tone. Even though some artists from that era used to play slower surf songs, like Link Wray for instance, but I always preferred the upbeat, fun danceable surf style.

Everything is great here, I like how there is a lot going on but there is space in the song to give each instrument it's time to shine. Well done, as usual!!

Wayne

Nice idea, good to hear some guitars well played. Like the feel of the track, creative.

Wayne

Great track, loved the lyrics/vocals, right out front and easy to understand. The piano is very well done and adds that element in the background that catches your ear but your main focus is on the vox. It makes you want to give it another listen or two just to let it all soak in. Well done, enjoyable listen!

Wayne

I don't know anything about trap music so I can't say much about that but I can say the recording sounds pretty good and there is a lot of interesting things going on to keep me interested. Loved the deep sub bass finish. Cool track, well done!
