Seamless Sounds excellent. Hard to believe you used so many guitars, the sound is clear and uncluttered. Good tune!! Thanks Bill |

Uneasy night. The season of the typhoon comes to Japan. A wind of hope and a cruel wind blow from the sea. Good slide guitar. |

safe in bed Neil, I think the mix is outstanding. The slide is particularly cool. Great story on how this developed. A waking dream so to speak. Keep the daydreams comin. I really like this |

Wonderful! Nice song. Very nicely composed and performed. As Sir Richard said about the Cowboy feel. Fine guitar work and excellently produced! I like it very much and thanks for sharing. Take Care - Yeman A. Al-Rawi |

As usual Neil Excellent in all ways. The lyrics, chords, arranging, mixing, vocals, tempo, everything is great in here. Whenever I even attempt to play this style, it comes out all plunky and boring, but you are a guitarist extraordinaire. Just wonderful.:-) |

I love it... ...when the mind spontaneously combusts and lyrics flow fast and freely! Neil, this is truly gorgeous. From the slow and gentle gallop of the rhythm section to those sweet sweet slides, this one is definitely a winner. I'm gonna be hearing that dreamy chorus in my head for days! Be well friend! |

pro production great production on this one. all the parts sound great - level, tone, performance. you have a great, breathy voice. i love the way a picked p-bass cuts through a mix! slide guitars are spot on - nice harmonies. just my $.02, but i might have started the fade out sooner - to make for a longer dissolve. but that's purely subjective. nice work! |

Gotta love it! There's nothing better than when a song just "comes together." It's such a satisfying feeling to have something grow, almost organically, from a seed of a few lyrics or chords. To me, at least, those songs are so much more enjoyable than the ones that take their time to form. That take effort and concentration and must be constructed bit by bit. It seems like some of the country/western influence of your early days is coming through a bit more in this one. Mixed with your breezy, laid back style it makes for a great sound. No matter what the subject matter, there's always a warmth in your songs. I think it's the bright, crisp guitar style mixed with your vocals. The timbre of your voice is always very relaxing. Enjoyed it very much, as always. |

Fantastic I could hear Johnny Cash taking a stab at this one (too bad he can't any more, maybe Dylan could). Great hook. I've been really digging your stuff lately. Well sung. Great job, Dave |

I always love your lyrics Neil for the poetry.... love the ideas behind the song and of course the nice sounds you've produced. Nice personal way of singing too as if telling a story. As Richard says it does have a Cowboy feel, but that's the rhythm giving that impression of course. Nice harmonies too, cheers M |

cool slide Your guitar work is really good Neil. Slide guitar isn't for everyone to master, (I know 'cause it's not for me;) but you have a good grip on it. You have given the bass and drums a steady supportive role which suits the C&W style pretty good. And it leaves more room for the vox and guitars to move. I could visualize this opening for a bridge with a banjo solo part in the middle there...:) Yeeehaaaaa! |

this has a country feel which is a nice transition from the style that I am used to. Shine your light Use it well in times of darkness Brighten up these shadowed days Enjoyed those words and the whole song. Lots of nice lyrics that I think anybody can related to which is a nice power unto itself. We all need wisdom and having nice music to down it with. WAy tO gO Thanks for sharing and being such a catalyst at MJ! |

New Genre? Psychoanalytical Country? I believe Freud would be stoked! LOL Very cool stuff, Neil. Lovely blend of guitars acoustic and electric; truly what dreams are made of. Like Thor, I've never had the patience to learn how to play slide, but certainly enjoy hearing it played effectively, as it is here. BTW... Robert Louis Stevenson's classic, "Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde," was the result of a nightmarish dream he had. This duality foreshadowed what we now know as "Dissociative Identity Disorder." Consequently, perhaps a better question for your chorus endings would be: "Am I safe here in my head?" ;) --- Joe |

dreamer cool tune Neil, I think you have finally come up with your "Willbury" tune. :) excellent tune. Vocals and the slide are very outstanding here. Hopefully you'll be kissing express bye, bye. jeez it seems like it's taken forever for you. Considering I picked up my iMac in ten minutes and got logic the next day of ordering. thought I'ld rub that in a bit :) |

You should like how this turned out. Really lovely song and perfectly performed and produced. Cheers Len |

You are... ...quite the poet, Neil...and then the music...your Seagull takes to the slide very nicely. I like the effects you put on it, too.. Your description of how the lyrics came about was so right on the mark. Something just pops in there and then you search around 'till you find the switch for the rest... I often think that songwriting (and art, in general) is like the creation of a dream...fragments of images and emotions, put together to create an impression...then they're over... Great tune, Neil...love the chorus...I'm at school and was just singing it out in the hall. |

Neil.... ...MIDI DRUMS?!?! Right then. I came back. I continue to hear the progression of the jiguma sound towards simplicity and clarity. There are even bits of buzzing and perhaps some vocal notes that aren't perfectly pitched. Doesn't matter. There's a nice feel of organicity to the whole package, and no sense that anything's getting hidden in layers of stuff. There's also a nice sense of space around each instrument, and you can hear the reverberation around each... I really like the song, and I really like hearing your impulse towards writing just what's simple, real and true... Ed |

cool! That dum-dum bass line is about the strongest "country" element to this song. I like all of this song, and as a big plus it's really fun to jam along to. Supa-dupa! |

mmm.... so jiggy.... so good!! i love the slide guitar and what i admire most is how your music always sounds like you but different - thank you for another great listen jiggyneil - big loves from grey and cloudy blighty but don't feel bad about it :) xoxox |

Wonderful tune here Neil - one of my faves of yours, Really like the abstract lyricism and the guitar orchestra sounds fantastic. I hear a little Tom Petty in this one - a good thing. |
 | 8piscean8 said 146 days ago |

Yes! Very nice Neil! Love the slide guitar. The lyrics are outstanding! My only gripe is that the MIDI drums get a little stale. A suggestion would be to make the rim-shot sound turn into a snare sound during the choruses and then back to the rim-shot sound. I like the ending where the cymbal switches to the ride, that adds some nice interest. Great production as always Neil. This was nice to hear more of a country flavor from you! -Adam |

sea of dream Hi Neil, I love everything you do - such a laid back style and all perfectly executed. This is another one of yours that pours out that feel good factor. I'm too busy listening to your guitars to notice any issues with the drums. The slide guitar part is a peach! Cheers Steve |
Neil!!!
Love the guitar work and like RS, it has a very cowboy feel!
