Nice philosophy how is it that this seems to be something that rings a bell with my life? You could expand on this and get some vox backups on the "find yourself" line. This is really complex in its simplicity. Love it. Great tune. |

Nice Airstream... ...I could get comfy in that little rut for a while...sit outside and pick out a tune or two... Great post, Jim...love the mandolin...cool songwriting with very effective chord changes. The mood's perfect for the subject....drift away. I understand what the others are saying about the bass...but, to my ear, it's effective in that it helps to create that sleepy/hypnotic "rut" feel. And the mandolin puts in that percussive "...hey...maybe I should get outta this" voice. If it's going to be "changed", I, personally, would make it very minimal. I think it "works". Sweet piece, man...thanks for the download. |

Original Sound This is kind of a quirky song, but brilliant, as Feter says. It carves out an amazingly-original and beautiful sound for itself; I really like it. Very dreamy, spacey qualities, and thoughtful lyrics. Really good job here! |

What does this...... .......remind me of? Everything comes together on this one. At first I had a few doubts, but this is quite creative. Kind of like a lost Harry Nilsson song. I enjoyed this very much. Thank you, Dave |

By the way You need whistling on this at the break and at the end. It would be just perfect. Dave |

Love that melody I really love the melody, how it drifts in and out of this sort of whimsical happy tune and some slightly darker skewed place. Your singing style really lend itself perfectly to it, It's catchy but still makes you stumble after it like chasing a butterfly. The arrangement sounds great to me, rounding out a rich sound and it's mixed just right for my ears. Really a cool tune with lyrics I can relate to. Nothing stands out to me that I'd change. |

Excellent Love the laid back feel of this the bass is what I love most about this. Cool loosely sung lyrics are like a nice cherry on top of a vanilla float sorry I was getting some trippy imagery from this. It just gets better as the song rolls along. Sounds like some old flaming lips. Did you do the drums yourself? Downloaded thanks! |

nice songwriting Jim... This is very appealing tune... easy to get into. I like the melody line, something different than I normally hear here :) Your mandolin and stuff sound good, as does your singing. Jack |

Jim I like this a lot. The bass thing that people are referring to is probably Rhodes related - I like the deep bass, although certain notes seem to have more gain than others. My Fender Precision is tricky in that the lower strings are louder than the top two - just a matter of adjustment for me, but it sounds the same here. Is the bass panned left? If so, I'd be centreing it. Generally I really like the mix and the song itself. What are those clicks at the end? - sounds like multiple splices or something. I don't think the bottom end really interferes with the song too much on 'phones - maybe a little more clarity on the bass would help, but I don't see the need for too much change really. Top song! Cheers, Neil |
I wont say what "rut" means in french :-)
This is a very good song .
Lot of work on the arrangement , with nice sounds and mix .
This chord going up on "yourSELF" is bringing a lot to the mood .
Mandolin and vocals are my favs parts , also the rhodes right hand .
Thank you .
