Work in Progress...

OK, I read the lyrics first...............I have an "image" of the song in my head. Now I will listen to see if I was right....

[mcanty]

This is ABSOLUTELY usable........I'm jealous because I am so structured in my lyrics that I could never right anything like this...............I think this is great. I could never do it myself because my brain can't go there. But I think it is usable.Very nice production too. Beautiful playing, and great vocals.Is that an accordian??

Hi Vince - Yeah that click is a bummer, I'll figure something out, retrack that part if i have to. Great whites and tigers and bulls are all sharks and they've all been known to be man-eaters so that's where i was going with that, though I realize it's a stretch to think everyone will pick that up. Thanks for the listen!Hey T, Yeah piano would be nice, would have to come up with just the right part, but sparse for sure, yeah?Mcanty - No accordian, maybe your hearing the slide guitar? I played my old Guild with a brass slide miced up super close and intimate and panned hard right. Doesn't sound like a typical slide guitar.Thanks guys, appreciate it. I'm gonna go back and fix afew things on this one and try some parts that you suggested... eo.

Oh yeah, T, Closing Time was by Semi Sonic... eo

I like the feel. It communicates a chill feeling even if I don't pay attention to what the lyrics are saying.I like your voice and how you take every syllable so deliberately. Jennifer Nettles does that too.Too many BGV layers in chorus for my taste. More simplicity?Great stuff. Thanks for sharing.Derek

[eokamura]

Thanks for the listen Derek. I think my next mix will aim for intimacy and making the bgvox less upfront will be part of that. eo.

damn ethan--thought your entry and even the vocal was neil young--hell, actually like this so much, thought neil should DO it.very nice harmonies man. i dig your style, i remember listening to another of your tunes and really dug it....i'm gunna have to listen to more now on your pagei like the other guitar coming in in my right ear.only neg comment isn't neg really to ME, as i dig it--your chorus isn't really a chorus, because of the same lyric repeat, might it be more a "refrain"? i'm no musician my friend, know you actually are--but musically your chorus is virtually the same as your verse--but who the hell cares--like it for it's unique style, what i'm saying is NOT a negative comment, so please don't take it as such!BTW, i don't hear IMHO too many layers--this comes off as very simple, yet strong. i would change nothing!ok, listened for the 3rd time. and MAYBE i just lied a tad. your title/hook line lyrically might be a bit stronger if it was less eclectic--but who am i to say change your lyric? still love the tune.hey, i also LOVE your vocals--very nice sound man, i do not think they are out front too much at all, i was actually admiring this mix....but again, i'm not a musician and even a worser (LOL) engineer/producer....i just trust my ears. you've got something here!the best,warren

[eokamura]

Hey Warren - Thanks for the listen. Actually you're right on about the chorus and verse being quite similar and this has been a problem for me with this tune until I kinda gave in to it. Hmmm... Hey good to hear from another norcal guy, sorry about the Sharks! eo.

Hey man,I like this a lot. It is what it is.Don't know how easy it would be to place, but I like it anyway.

[heinsite]

yeah, i remember that from the last time i looked/listened to one of your cool tunes...still wouldn't touch tune musically, if at all....it is a life all it's own my friend.yeah, screw the sharks, all that money, and they are playing like they don't give a damn...i'm not a real fan of hockey, but even i can see NO inspiration when i see it--now if we can just get the A's down here, they will make some money and i'll become an A's fan instead of a Giants fan--or maybe both. home city and all.good luck my friend, keep on cranking out those very nice and creative gems!wh
