I thought your vocals sounded a lot like Elvis Costello on this.
Piano timing seemed to drift a little towards the end and I wondered if the sax was a little flat here and there? Or it was perhaps just a little distant? Might just be my ears…
Some great chord changes. I wasn’t quite so keen on the bit where it changes time signature…it made me think of a bloke with a walking cane tucked under one arm high-kicking and theatrically wobbling his straw-boater in his other outstretched hand like Frankie Vaughan…but it was very well done, provides a cool change to keep interest levels up and will be many people’s favourite part, no doubt.
I read one of your other threads about maintaining interest by introducing and taking away different elements here and there and changing things around, etc…and I think although they are perfectly valid and generally sound advice, I think it sometimes can be slightly overwhelming. After listening to this, I wasn’t sure I remember much about the song, apart from the fact that it was really good and exceptionally well done.
A thoroughly excellent job though.
