thats life the lyrics pretty well sums a typical day. who can't relate to that. some nice tasty guitar licks. I find the 335 style guitars really have a lot versatility and heres a classic example of its tone. The addition of the trumpet sets really nice in the scheme of the tune. as always, an excellent job |

sweet Thor, really builds, and grows outward. Love the arrangement. The backing vocals add quite a bit to the flavor. The horns are the sweet touch. That and your singing/guitar work. :-) |

Thor .. .. love it when the bass comes in - sounded a little fragile (mix-wise) before that, but then really kicked off. Trumpet sounds great - REAL HORNS! Rhythm section works really well - vocals very cool (especially love the harmonies). You know I always enjoy your guitar work - though maybe the solo was a little too loud in parts. Nice mix too, and the lyrics are as meaningful as anything I've heard for a while. Neil |

trumpet too u r so cool what a hip song you r always hitting the nail on the head with your lyrics a friend ask me the other day "what is the most important thing in life" he was waiting for me to say sex, but my reaction to him was, I said "this moment right here right now" I am one to point out to my children the smell of the rain and the birds singing so they r aware of such beautiful sweet 'roses to stop and smell' even the dinner, the traffic, the thoughts, you r just so cool to put so much emotion and feeling into a very hip cooking tune just fine... just now i love the guitar riffs and i always love to here you play the harp. the trumpet is a cool surprise(at first i was like digital horns from thor...hmmm)NOT thanks for sharing my good friend, keep em coming, u r on a roll thanks so well done love your vox too gonna was that your first instrument??? |

I really like the concept of the lyrics and your description. I am one of those people asleep. I will try to be more awake today at work, thanks for the wake up call. Lovely song and real smooth sound and performance - very enjoyable listen. Cheers Len |

Very nice song I really like the guitars on this. Like it a bunch when the "band" kicks it. Not a fan of the chorus thing you have on the lead vox. Should be more natural. But, hey man this is a fantastic song. Great job. You can blame Neil for me pointing out weaknesses. RE: "some thoughts on MJ" forum. LL |

sweet great tune, love that groove you have put together. It reminds me of Zappa. Rice tone on the guitar and played with some finesse and grace. Catchy little number im already jiving along and singing the harmony, not as well as you did. Please stick down some of those vibe on some of them tracks jon did. |

Always enjoy your posts Thor. Love when the full band kicks in with that lovely balance. Great guitar there and of course vocals/ harmonies built into a really nice arrangement. Talk about a one man band LOL. Much enjoyed, thanks M |

nice one what a great guitar sound, I knew I should have bought one of those amps. as for the horns, man that's sweet. I alway stry putting horns on my songs, but end up throwing them away because they sound so fake (they are). as for constructive criticism, at the beginning of the song, it sounded a bit like there was an effect on the vox, but when the whole band kicks in they sound right. nice song Thoddi. |

Delightful Very catchy song, and cool arrangement. I dig this. The guitar solo is a bit too much upfront, especially when compared to that harmonica lick around 2:45. I'd straighten that balance out a bit, and maybe cut some lows from that guitar to make it fit better in the mix. |

Hey Thor trying to catch up a bit... I love your productions... they always come across as complete and whole... something about your voice that I find compelling, an urgency that come from being right on the edge and exposed... but when you put together your back vox, they are as soulful as your playing.. I agree with vic that the guitar solo comes in a bit hot.. but that's easily fixed... peace from NJ... great recording Thor |

just right Feels like I'm on the same planet as some other musicians thanks to MJ and you. Good acousti-groove and layered leads. Vox (incl harmonies) sounds just right for the tone of the tune, and mixed well. |
Is there any instrument you DON'T play Thor? The trumpet parts put your new acquisition to quick use, adding a nice touch to the production.
Another great piece with a nice blues/jazz feel. I believe I may have made the comparison before, but this has a Boz Scaggs feel to it.
Good arrangement with a pleasing array of instrumental choices and parts. The recording is both crisp and warm at the same time.
Nicely done, Thor. ;)
