Thanks so much to all of you that took the time to listen and comment.
Thanks too to
@RealKevM for posting the original, It helps put context to the whole collab.
The truth is that I wanted to get this one posted before I went on my hols, now I'm back I can study all of the comments and plan a remix, I've also had time to let it sink in as this was my ear worm on my holiday!
To give you an idea of what I'll do...
Get rid of any sloppyness/timing issues.
Acoustic guitar needs more clarity, I've grown my RH nails in prep for the 2nd take...You'll hear the difference, probably use a TG12345 Channel strip too.
Put more feel into the LVox. I had a belter of a cold when I did that take, I was inhaling the whole week on my hols....)
Maybe reduce the number of BVox, ,to make the whole thing more intimate, can't remember if there was too much verb on the BVox...
I'll work on a better drum groove, I know what I want, it's just my drumming is getting a bit rusty...
Move the intitial I'm gonna beat this disease a bit deeper into the intro, it's over too soon.
I'm not going to flower up the chorus melodically since I dig the vibe as it is.
I think everything else can stay.
Thanks again, I'll post again when they have been attended to.
Catch you later..
Rich
...specifically
@PaulAds - Thanks - There might be a bit more depth on the next remix...I always do meself in about my voice, I think it sounds so plain, but I get some solace from the fact that Jimi didn't rate his voice...
@Mikey - yeah your'e right, if there's no melodic contrast, there needs to be something different and that's a great idea.
@Cawproductions - Thanks very much, appreciated.
@Neil C - Thanks Neil, glad you like the organ, (inspired by Crowded house 'Better be home soon')
@adamfarr - Cheers Adam, I know what you mean about what to make of it, it's exactly how I felt when I heard it first, but it immediately stirred something special. I think it was Kev's voice, the simple video, the powerful cryptic words, and the almost monotonous melody, it's a pretty difficult thing to carry off.
It's definitely a grower.
@MonnoDB - Thanks for your kind words, you have to thank Kev for the words, what a wordsmith he is...I'm very grateful he let me loose on his work.
Looking forward to working on it again.
Best regards
Rich
@SlavaB - I was right near you on my hols, I was thinking of you.
