Great arrangement - lovely tone!

Excellent stuff! Brill.

Very smooth. Lovely live feel. Fine song and arrangement. And what a voice the man has! :-)

Good form,good song very well done.

Brilliant! Spinal Tap must be seething with envy...

Excellent throughly enjoyed.....

I like this. Whether it's intentional or not, I have to admit I imagined lots of glittery costumes, long hair, beards, and possibly make-up... (and Whispering Bob Harris introducing them on the good ole Old Grey Whistle Test) lol

Cool song...

Ooo yeah, like this one. A lovely "tight but loose" feel.

Not convinced he sounds like David Essex - ok, a bit maybe - but he's got a fabulous voice. And his guitar playing's rather tasteful too. Nice one.

very cool, tight song. reminds me of nice cross between Adrian Belew and INXS.

Very nice..."another place and another time..."

Nice song

A good piece of work I can easily hear this asd a song behind a film or TV offering.

very nice piece

Love that change on "not to see"... So pretty. So sad.

I like it. It just bounces along effortlessly.

This is a beautiful song, and the piano and voice are wonderful.

Very pretty composition indeed Steffen with lovely vocal and lyrics from Paul. Bethan

Super vocal and I enjoyed the piano work as well. Lovely track! Bethan

Oh, yes, the new version sounds even better. The bass still sticks out a little on some notes, but overall it sounds great.

I love the retro vibe of this (and actually all your other songs, too). Great arrangement, composition, everything!

It's always nice to come back and listen to some of your songs. I just wish there was more (spare) time in a day.

Cool, I never knew you were Bob Dylan's brother, James. ;)

The part up to the chorus sounds like the early Cat Stevens, before you morph into David Essex again. :D Great stuff, Andy! I'm not sure if the clicks come from the internet connection (or did you want to create a vintage vinyl impression?). But I'll download the track anyway, so I'll soon know. :) The mix is a little bass heavy, but the song is still great.

Thanks @JMT and @Wildgeas! I just uploaded a new mix with Andreas Hülsen on drums. He used an electronic kit with the same samples that I had used in my version, so when he sent me the MIDI file, I was able to reproduce the original sound, just with the human feel of a real drummer playing the drums. :)

Angela! Great to hear from you! Unfortunately this site has no private mail feature, so I'm replying here. I would love to finish this song - with YOUR vocals. Nobody can interpret your lyric as authentically as yourself. Please let me know if you're up for it! Regards, Steffen

It really does not matter which of your songs I listen to - they are ALL great. Thanks for making them available here at Alonetone!

I love it! It has a nice 60s/70s touch that I like.

FINALLY: The song has been recorded with real guitars and bass! :) http://alonetone.com/stoman/tracks/summer-rain-1

Your original songs are the best ones. Great stuff, Andy!

This is one of my favourite songs of Helen Reddy's (although that's already a cover of the Tanya Tucker version)! Nice, bluesy rendition. :) The vocals are heavily out of sync though - you should fix that in your DAW.

With the video it gets even better. I love your performance! Great to see you "live".

That's perfect, Andy! Oh, you attached a video - I only noticed that now. Guess I'll listen one more time then. :)

Wonderful. Adding more instruments can't make this any better. It's perfect as it stands.

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.

Cool song, very nice.

Hey, this one has a great drive. A perfect country/blues rocker.

Great songwriting, as usual. The mix sounds a bit rough to me, but I love the arrangement.

Gooood one! :) You know how to do that stuff. Great job!
