Ahhh yes.

Yep, I was kind of going for 70s (early-mid 70s Slade was in my mind - bass and vocals, the rest fits where it can). I actually feared I had the drums TOO upfront for that!! lol I tried and failed with a lot of percussion too - I felt it needed it. There's some tambourine, and some voices doing shaker noises - but none of it was good enough to come too high in the mix. What I really wanted was some clapping, but that didn't work at all!

70's rock all down the line. I love the background vocals and all the guitar work. I think the drums could be more upfront, and I can imagine some percussion too. That would be the icing on the cake. But anyway, a great song! Very well done.

Back for more :) This is so bouncy and growly, I love it! x

Poignant and more tender than Tiffany's Estate, methinks! G:)

Blown away! love this. no crits at all, just impressed. G:)

Enjoying the mix....well done once again.

AJ Grind and Growl. Oh I liked the twin guits and the riding crop lyric. Rocks

Well done. I missed this somehow.

Love it... Great growling vocal ....love at solo...as lady says another A.R masterpiece........

Killed it! Backing vocals always make me smile and harmonized guitar lines with bite are so damn sweet. Touchdown!

Another AR masterpiece. :)

Way to bark it out! I Love Love Love it. Great lyrics, Great lead guitar. You really drove it home!

Thanks for the comments on Macho Chihuahua. Coming from you it is really a compliment.

Naked is always good! Great song!

I like the guitar work. Great tune.

Quite nice in this stripped down version ... love the subtle organ ... the simplicity adds to the sense of starkness and the melody is very effective with the words.

Wow, i like this song. It's great ...

Great song. The way you sing it reminds me of an old Bloodrock tune, DOA. Best of luck.

Yes!!

Also... "Grrrreat" :)

Nice. (one needs to be a fan of the Fast Show - an old TV program in the UK - to fully appreciate the delivery of that word).

Oh yeah. This is my favourite one so far. OR... it's the one that fitted my mood best at the time I decide to listen to it? :)

GORGEOUS guitar sound. And cool song. VERY cool song.I found the problem round the other way... too much interest in living (well, sleeping) resulted in an unbalanced something or other.

I only really know the Thin Lizzy version... and this one!

Nice one.

It's like there are voices... and I can't quite reach out to hear them.

I'd forgotten what it was like listening to your pieces. Magical.

Wow

That's pretty powerful.

Wow. Haunting sounds.

I listened on Friday, and I've been trying to figure out what happened so fast... and then seeing jimgoodinmusic's comment "...reflective of the street", on this relisten I ended up stood there with the same "hey what happened?" ... but a passer-by said "I don't really know - it all happened so fast" ...

I hadn't realised Colleen was listening same time... I was off checking out Mary Oliver... but yes, after the initial scratchiness that I got used too, I agree, very quickly the cacophony did seem "normal" to me and even commonplace... and the poem Egrets (I had to look up what an Egret was, I didn't know! I knew the word, but not that it was a white bird) ... that kinda emphasised it... there was magical, but normal, and natural, stuff going on, and even the cacophony itself was natural - as in not necessarily man-made - the thorns and mosquitos...

I read the description and thought "ummmm, ok"... and, indeed, it did start like that for me. But then it was strangely compelling.

I was looking for a word to describe the feel... and Colleen's already got it - "slinky cool".

Very refreshing sound - but the heavy breathing reminds of someone... not sure it's Colleen though! lol

This is still making me tingle. Those first two lines... I want everyone to feel it.

I think I remember it? Mighty cool anyways. I'm kinda jealous, though - all my old ones aren't that easy to post here... they're all recorded on pieces of A4 paper, in the metaphorical "shoe-box" (actually, it's not not that metaphorical, it is a box, several actually, they've just never held any shoes)

Wow, yes. It's a gorgeous song.

I like both. This one sounds more summery though!
