Love this one too! I hear a big production anthem style someday. An arena full of people singing this at the top of their lungs! Fantastic! What a fun morning for me to listen to so much of your great music!

Wow! This one really hits a deep emotional chord. Your writing is superb as usual, but this spare arrangement just feels like raw emotion. An instant fav!!!

Aww... this SO needs the busted fave button...
What a return!
Fabulous.
Wonderful groove, excellent vox, and a really catchy chorus.
And the instrumental - bliss...
And then how the lead vox steps out from backing vox after the instrumental. I assume it's intentional, but if not - DO NOT FIX IT!
Superb track.
Excellent performance by Gene on programmed drums, rhythm guitar and bass, with Farrell on lead guitar. I'm on vocals. Hope you enjoy us on this old Zep Classic................

This is the fourth of seven for the 2013 NaSoAlMo. I think this was the first thing I worked on, but everything is so disorganized right now that I haven't got a clue anymore.
Four part harmonies in the chorus. Yes, a first for me. Sure…
The "umph" heard round the world.

This is a very old tune that finally got recorded the way I had always envisioned it. The only thing missing is real drums, but I think the midi drums could be worse. :)

We've always adored this song, there is another version but decided to re-record it. Now I think the Good Wife sounds quite good, when I think of the crap health problems she endured over the last 4 years. I am bias of course !!!! Lastly apologies…

...Phew! lol Like it. A more sprawling and spaced-out take on it.
This better be good... (fave LZ song)
Nice one. Like the harmonies - do more. And very tasty guitar playing.
Oh crumbs, yes, very splendid geetar. And sounds fabulous.
:)
Oh yes, like it.
Like how you're using the delays for harmonies. Tasty playing.
Woo! (widdly-woo? lol) That's pretty darn impressive.
Gorgeous sound!
Don't know the original... Like this, though :)
Short and sweet! I'm intrigued as to how this is all going to fit together.
Oh yes, and this one.
This one grabs me a lot.
