Great track. I like the music, the lyrics and the vocal. Everything is perfect. Boy oh boy, it sounds fine!

Very touching.

Such a lovely song, beautifully and clearly sung by Emmi. Your piano playing sounds great to me Steffen!

Lovely vox Michael! Exceptional composition and the music is gorgeous! Heart tearing lyric too!

Beautiful . . . And rich sounding.

Such a beautifully done piece of music and I love the melody!

Lovely! This was great for first thing in the morning

I like your voice too!

Love this, I'm all 80's now. I'm going to talk about Neu now...

clever, good music and fun lyrics great pair up

James, thanks to you too! :)

Thanks, Bethan and Terry! I think I'll have to give the strings section a little more attention mixing-wise. Expect an update in a couple of days! :)

Very "movie-ish." Yes. Glad you got it back.

Gorgeous sound quality Steffen, rich and vibrant. Lovely composition and perfect balance. Ooo, I like this!

clever synth sounds , it stirs my imagination

ha, this is really out there... so of course I like it!

I enjoyed this! Yeah, it's definitely got a Talk Talk/Roxy Music feel to it.

Oh this is really nice , retro indeed , love the vox , & great arrangement

First rate stuff there! Wonderful!

very nice, and yes i think it has that bygone era feel/style,, fun piece

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!
