I know exactly what you mean about all the help and advice you've been given here, I feel the same. Just listening to the first version as I write (I hadn't heard it before), it actually sounds pretty good to me. I wish my first was as good. Having said that the latest version is just superb and sounds very professional to me. Beautiful song and wonderful performance and production. Happy jammiversary by the way. Cheers Len |

Never heard the first ....But I think this one was put well together. I like the acoustic rhythm, the electric guitar accompaniment in the background and the solo was really good. I'm also a fan of the organ. Great Job. |

I like the new version better David I recently listened to the original version, and just now went back and listened to it again. I have to say the quality of the recording on this is far far superior to the first take. This one, if not already, is very close to being radio ready my friend. As I said on the first version this is some exceptional song writing. But on this version your vocal delivery is much stronger and much more connected to the lyrics. Top of the mark David. Bravo to you for revisiting this and doing such a wonderful job on it. It is simply outstanding my friend. Ed |

I always look forward to hearing your songs, since they always have as well as originality, a personal feel in the lyrics as well, that speaks from within. You certainly have your own sound vocally and instrumentally and I've noticed a great progression in your recordings/ mixes and performances, since I came here. This is a great sound and song and one of your best to date, Great stuff, M |

David Thanks for bringing this back. I don't know if I listened to the first but this is a great version. Everything sounds tight and realistic. So who did you hire? Just kidding. I cringe every time I hear "Hurricane" especially when it's heading for the gulf. I hunkered down through the lead. very enjoyable especially the build up. John |

i hear you excellent tune and the remix is great. sometimes it takes us forever to get around to fixing older songs. I'm finally getting around to that myself. |

so many levels to this it builds into a beautiful heartfelt poem that raises the hair on your arm! I didnt catch it first time around I am glad I caught it this time. |

Wow Your vocals are always so honest. This is a really, really good song. The production is so crisp and present. I'm on your same learning curve so it's encouraging to hear where I can be in a few years. |

New to me hadn't heard this before so it was all new. I really like the "hoping for a hurricane but the sun keeps shining" concept, very cool idea. Mix sounds great, never easy to get a good acoustic guitar sound and this sounds really good. Bass is cool too - some nice changes, especially toward the end as the song builds, and I like the piano banging away underneath. But imo your vocals are what really sell the song - you have a rare 70's/80's folk rock quality that recalls Gordon Lightfoot and Jim Croce but also rockers like Bob Seger. |

Who is Djama? It's funny, I have this picture of you as a guy in his mid 20's, writing and posting his songs, who will at some stage break through and do this music thing for a living, because, well, your work is that good. This is a great version of your song, and shows how who've matured - your voice, playing, production, over the while that, well, I've been listening. Keep making the noise, David, wonderful noise. steve |

This is late but... This is a wonderful song! I've been away from MACJAM's for some time and just got back, and I can phantom how much great music are being posted here. This a very good song in all aspects: the vocals are generously held back to tell a story, and a great one that is. I love the lyrics "It's good to be a lier, because everything is true"... WOW! The arrangement is also very good - from the first Hammond build-up, to acoustic and vocal - the verses, more build-up, and then; crescendo!!! The refrain is a killer, I've only listened to the song twice and it's already in my head. The "crying" guitar solo is very, very, impressive! Def. d/l! |

Excellent song and well worth the second go round. The production is very stately and patient - making room for everything and letting your voice and guitars shine through. Nice lead work. |

Nice one David Hi David, i've had little time to listen at Macjams or record anything myself recently so this was a great welcome back! You have a great ability to let a song build up and get going. The playing, singing and production are seriously good! A very minor point, but maybe there's a bit of a sharp cut off to silence on the very last note should it decay for a bit longer? who cares - it's still great! Steve |
