You have a great guitar sound on this David. Production sounds very soild and balanced. I wouldn't mind an acoustic added here and there, perhaps on the chorus. But I like it as it is anyway... Peter |

Yup A mover is right! DA nailed it. You start listening to this and you just can't avoid staring to nod your head with the beat or tap your foot. Add to that your amazingly great vocals, tasteful and meaningful lyrics.... man this should be radio play! |

talking Definitely a toe tapper. This is a great song overall. The balance of guitars, bass and drums is just right in my ears. Love the lyrics and vocals. I think you are right - some keys in there would sound great! Thanks for a fun tune! |

very cool your voice sounds great, almost like Bryan Ferry at times. nice groove between the drums and that fat rhythm sound. "I%u2019ll take the heat But honey I won%u2019t take the blame" great line. no constructive criticism, except maybe the hi-hat is a little loud in the choruses (minor criticism from someone who has been stressing out over a kick drum level for 2 days and still can't get it right). great job. |

Song for the radio ... I think you got this very right. Song, play and a very good production. Can imagine I hear it on the radio at some stage. Take Care, Gamborg |

great song! This is a prime example of smart, infectious pop music. I think everything flows well and the lyrics are unique, interesting, and still relatable. My only criticism comes with the arpeggiated guitar in the choruses. It sounds just a hair too hot to me. But take that with a grain of salt because i'm listening with my cheap headphones at work. The bass however, it fantastic. Great great great bassline! Really sets the groove off! |

I hated that guitar tone... ...right at the beginning...I thought it sounded kind of dead...but I trusted you... I said to myself, David's gonna take this someplace, and it'll be GOOD... By the time everything's doing its thing in the mix, everything's perfect and in its place... I continue to admire and enjoy your songwriting and your voice as I do few others... Ed |

Oh this is sooo Nice Great lyrics David and wonderful production on it, although I would have liked to see an ending on it instead of a fade out. (Personal preference, but it doesn't hurt the song) The only other thing I noticed, and I'm sure it was a production decision on your part, was the fairly large volume increase between the intro and when the music hit. I can understand you not wanting the vocal too hot in the beginning, when the music is quiet, but the jump in volume of the vocal was really noticeable to me. If it were mine, I think I would bring up the vox and guitar on the intro to maybe 1 of 2 db below the level of the vox after the music starts and see if it isn't a little smoother transition between the 2 parts. Also, the intro vox sounds a little too dry. You don't notice it when the rest of the band kicks in, but after listening to it again it did seem too dry. I think I would put just a little touch of reverb in the intro vox to help smooth it out. Don't get me wrong, this is a great song and it sounds fantastic. You have an excellent vocal on this and the playing is really stellar. I love the song and the way you did it. My suggestions are minor things and have more to do with personal tastes thank anything about the way the songs done. Thanks for sharing this one, it's going on my iPod the "The Good Stuff" section Be well and be cool my friend, Ed |

Very well done!! This is a fine song and it is very well written. I really dig the hook. It could be more developed vocally though. I hear some of the phrases within the verses being chorused as well, maybe the last line in every verse. The whole mix is tight and evenly spaced but the vox could be bumped a touch in the chorus it might make the arpeggiated guitar in it seem a little less on top. The eq is a touch heavy like the lower frequencies are fighting for their own space. I also hear the phrase "I'm just talking to myself" being repeated like you have at the end of it. Very clever hook and as Lennon714 said infectious pop from the first note. Great song. Yes this could be on the radio. |

great tune sounds really good David. solid tune and I really like the chorus. production in the mix sounds nicely balanced! I was going to say something about the hi-hat but I just noticed you explained the problem to Michael. |

Original Nice track. Very original sound to it, with a few clever changes in the chorus. A solid pop-rocker. |

Very solid in every aspect to my ears. Again your song writing blows me away. This is a little more up tempo than some others and in " my opinion " I like your singing more. Your vocals are right on no matter what you do, I just think your delivery is better. Thanks and be well, Russ |

Well made This song reminds me of a prince song for some reason (don't ask me why). I like the lyrics and the play is very well synchronized. Nice jam all together. |

Dave - sorry I'm late This builds into a great tune. Like Ed, that guitar tone grated on me a bit (no, Ed doesn't grate on me ..... you know what I mean), but when everything builds in the choruses it doesn't seem to matter. This is a really well written song Dave - there are parts where I'd like to hear the vocal a little higher in the mix (mainly where everything starts getting busy). I like the way you've double tracked the vocals in places. The drums sound good and everything just works. A VERY good post. You sure are getting consistently good performances happening! Cheers from Oz, Neil |

Solid Pop Approach You sound really comfortable in this tune, David and it suits you well. A nice blend of the old and the new in here with some interesting musical twists. Nicely done. ;) --- Joe |

Simply put: I love this. I'm dancing in my chair. With hands moving in air. I know just what you mean. I'm still part of that scene. When there is no one there; (I'm) Just talking to myself. But, at least, I can listen to you. Thanks. |

Hi David I tend to gravitate to acoustic sounds but this is so catchy you just can't help but get into it has it builds and forget the world for 3 and half minutes (the perfect pop song then?). I love the chord changes in the chorus. Great writing, performance and production. Better than 'The Feeling' and the other clutch of guitar pop groups on the radio these days. I don't think that's overstating things! Has to be downloaded! best wishes Steve Steve |

catchy and fresh love the lyrics. very well arranged and produced. nice guitar playing too. nice! my one suggestion is the very beginning vocals. I understand the dry vocals at the beginning were a stylistic choice, but i found it distracting when the reverb on the vocals suddenly kicked it. The jam has such a live sound to it, and in my opinion the sudden shift in processing detracts from that feel. I'd keep it all reverbed, but thats just my humble opinion. love the song. great stuff. |
