Keywords Holiday (87)
Description Another Track from 'On The Fiddle' - I'm sure i have a mastered version with slightly pared back violins around somewhere - as it is, this is the rough mix version.

Chaz sings on the second verse and fiddles - I do the rest of it.

As it's July 21st and sunny - I thought I'd be topical and post it..........let's all go Holiday everone!!!
Lyrics I'm leaving home on Sunday
I'm heading for the beaches and the sandy shore
Strange to think that someday
We were hoping and were thinking that there's so much more

But Baby don't you fear
I'll fix it when I'm back next year

I'm on Holiday


I'm leaving here on Sunday
I'm waiting for my luggage and my taxi cab
Hard to think that one day
I'll be thinking you're the best thing that I ever had

But Baby don't you fear
We're fine for yet another year

We're on Holiday

We'll take out towels down to the beach
And give 'em away
D'y think out grasp exceeds our reach?
Or does it today?

Anyway

I'm leaving here on Sunday
I'm leaving with some music and a fancy tan
I'm back to work on Monday
I'm working in an office as a Salaryman

But Baby don't you fear
Your prescence is forever near

Forever Holiday

Delightful
A delight for any season. The fiddle seems a tad hot in my speakers, by the way. I love the clean sound.

Cadman said 171 days ago
On Holiday - Too Hot! :-)
Hi Tobin - glad you liked the tune. You're 100% right about the mix; there's another slightly toned down fiddle version somewhere.....if only I could find it. Cheers - JC

this is
really nice, it was sunny whilst i was listening to this and it made me really cheerful. Love the lyrics to. Really catchy
Thanks!

Cadman said 170 days ago
Sunny!
Yup- it was sunny this morning, which prompted me to post it. Glad it had the intended effect!

Cheers - JC

Jarvoid said 170 days ago
I like
the fiddle forward in the mix.It just goes to show how different ears try things on differently.Its a good song,nicejob.

Jarvoid

Cadman said 170 days ago
Ears.........
Interesting - I wonder the reaction to the fiddles is somehow in context to what you've been hearing beforehand.

As part of the album, it doesn't seems so pronounced. As a stand alone, to me this mix is a bit too shrill in places.

As you say - depends on ears and speakers, etc........

The main thing is - you liked it :-)

Rebsie said 170 days ago
It's clouded over here but ...
Nice chirpy tune. To my ears the fiddle is a little over-dominant in the mix, but then fiddles are such wonderful instruments you can't go too far wrong with them. Fun song anyway. :)

Cadman said 170 days ago
Hiya.......
Sorry we couldn't make the sun come out for you :-)

I'll have a good hunt around for the mix which has the fiddle slightly lower in the mix........

/searches forlornly for missing memory stick.....

Skatehorn said 169 days ago
I'm with Jarvoid on this
I like the fiddle high in the mix

Great song, great delivery. You've got a style all of your own, and it really works on this

Cheers

"You've got a style of your own..."
The very highest praise, for which I sincerely thank you.....

davisamerica said 168 days ago
well ...
just let me muddle it up a bit more ... I Love the fiddles right where they are ... great lyrics and delightful delivery... your voice is perfect on this track ... headed to the beach now..... : -]

Cadman said 168 days ago
Fiddle - Hi or low? :-)
Well, the main thing is that you like the song - so thanks for that.

Would be interesting to know if you were listening to it via headphones or speakers.

Hope you remembered the Sunblock.....

Cheers - JC

SJB said 168 days ago
mellow
Great delivery on the vocal. The fiddle is up front but I like it bold like that. cheers
Steve

Cadman said 168 days ago
Like it bold, eh?
Nudge, nudge, wink, wink, etc :-)

Thanks for the kind comment.

Again - would be very handy to hear from you whether you were listening on speakers or headphones.

Cheers - JC
