Missing the Summer... ...still waiting for ours - It might be August but it looks like October from the office window this morning. Another great song with your unmistakable sound. Interesting comment from yrp regarding the drums - there's something about the sound you get from the drums that's unique to your songs/production. I'll be downloading this later to add to the collection! Peter |

Cloud 9 Harrison, but still extremely Vic Holman. The semi-dark to light chorus is great and has your name all over it. I see what yrp is talking about, but I love the drums. It's very Ringo, which I think suits the piece very well. |

summer I just got back from a week in Greece and I have just the feeling that summer is about to slip away again. Coming back to Norway and 15C tonight tells me autumn is getting close. Your music seems to be in progression these days. This one is another strong composition and performance from you. The intro got me thinking of George Harrison for some reason. |

Summer Great end of summer song. I like the full mix of instruments, wouldn't have thought of this as "acoustic". Electric guitar solo really rocks! Thanks Bill |

Lovely sound! I hear George Harrison sound there in the chord progression, vocals and guitar work. Very tasty leads. Cool tune! |

Tasty, very cool and well produced. Good layering and everything. Has a tad of Julius (?) Lennon and Harrison quality to it. Great vox you do with this. Glad the temp dropped for you. But this tune, is still hot. |

Holy Toledo! I'm so late to this one. Amazing piece of songwriting. Love the mood this sets. Great production, too. I would actually like to hear a female vocalist on this one. Just a thought. Cool one, Vic. Dave |

Really nice song here and the performance is excellent; love the Sitar/guitar sound giving it a Beatle-ish feel and a great Summer sound..... nice lyrics and sung with just the right feel for this. I envy you your summer though, wall to wall rain here, Regards M |

You are among the most accomplished musicians on this site. I have nothing at all to say about technicalities. I am in awe that you are able to do some many things so very well. This was wonderful to listen to. The voice is mellow and the guitar kicks ass. Thanks. |

Summer? We don't really have proper summers over here any more so I'm having to use my imagination. :) Delicious guitars as always, and I like the tone of your voice double-tracked in the slightly higher register. Great bit of songwriting too. Why is it I can never think of anything intelligent to say about your music? Ah well, just have to make do with another "great song, I really like this". Again. |

GORGEOUS Beautiful guitars and harmonies! |

without a doubt I love this tune. there is definitely something about the fading of summer that hits me too. Ever since I got out of school, I always had this feeling that when summer ended that there really wasn't anything to look forward to. Thought I was crazy and maybe I am, but I really can say that this tune resonated with me. I love the production and I don't know that I can add anything that hasn't been said, but I loved the almost Beatles-esque sound the vocals invoked, and the space you create for such varying guitar sounds is tremendous! Great stuff! |

you can always be counted on to deliver a great song with really good production.Your guitar playing and arranging is outstanding. |

Good song, The melancholy captured well I think. Lot of Beatles in the comments already. I also hear a bit of Mike Oldfield in the solo, right?! For once we had a summer like yours here in Stockholm, but now it's been pretty wet for a couple of weeks, so sure I AM missing summer too... Stay well, Henke |

wow nice big full sound on this one. i like the melancholic vibe. great vox, playing, everything. the guitar part almost sounds like a pan flute during the chorus and that's really cool. great solo. drums are perfect for the song. do i hear fingersnaps in there or are they handclaps? either way I like em. nice one, vic. |

me too Its cooled here as well, and I'm already missin the summer, and it ain't even officially over yet. Big production smiles as always. The doubled leads were esp cool. |

Always enjoy your terrific rock-kinks type voice quite striking vic! I have to say, I think your really roll up your MJ sleeves and produce rock solid good rockin. From the textures in the guitar, the beats, blends that seem like only Logic can do or expensive apps. Lots of quality. Thanks for bringing quality to MJ and it isn't always easy with all the instruments. But then adding great quality vocal in a very nice soft rock fashion. Impressed! WAy To GO Nice ending too! |

Hi What a great tune. A lot of instruments but all clear in the mix. Always nice to hear a real bass and the SG lead just cutting now as i type is this is wonderful. Maybe the vocal could be a bit louder as it is just a little distinct sometimes. Brilliant - no more to say Cheers Steve |

Pretty damn good within it's genre (which isn't, I'm afraid, my favourite)(I'm old and closed-minded) But there is one thing....you have a great tone on the lead guitar, but since we never hear it 'til the break, I had a real feeling of 'where the hell did that come from?', like suddenly I was listening to a different song...probably by a different artist...I honestly feel that getting a few lead licks in before the solo, starting early in the song, would make the song far more cohesive. Good lyric. Cheers, Shaky |

Vic Where have I been! you really make a good song. Ok I have said it more than once this is your best singing. I truly think you have found your voice! NOt that it wasnt there before but it is refined treated with care pressed and folded And out there for someone to wear. What the heck am I talking about very cool song Vic! |

Chorus That's the most memorable chorus I've heard in a while. I love the electric harmony. Would love to hear more of that guitar sound. The whole thing really complements the idea of the lyrics. |

Missing Summer? Quit your whining and come to Florida in January and I'll give you summer. We'll have a hot sweaty cook out on my deck and you can sing some sad songs about how you're ready to go back home and how much you hate mosquitoes. Seriously Vic, it's been one day! On a cooler note, your masterful balance of strumming/plucking acoustic guitars and brutal smoking electric leads is as refreshing as an evening breeze. Regarding your drumming abilities, I've said it a dozen times before and I don't mind saying it again, when I have a band, Vic Holman will be my drummer! |
This is one of your best. Love the general feel of it.
Very clean mix and an amazing song!
