This is fabulous. It reminds me of some of the bands I grew up listening to. Having real musicians on board is, I think, essential when you got a major shift in temp part way through like this. Program that into a drum vst and it's going to be hard to make it sound convincing however good you may be at drum programing. Loving the lyrics...err and Elvis' lake!

We should hire session players , or we stay on the road with robots . Over saturated PRO TOOL toys , Jesus Christ
Everybody bitching about the music , but buy AI toys , While Bob is trying feed his family the great guitar player , Or Susie the violin player
Sad Dan the professional songwriter now a Walmart greeter , Well we won't hire him , will buy AI toys
Lets leave on a positive note, most artists are fishing in the same watering hole , This sounds original to my old ears .

Yo Paul,great to hear you knocking one out  (that came out so wrong  )

Love the track,it's bouncy,catchy with that memorable little octave riff the icing on the cake.

Powerful in lyrical and musical content,what else is there?

Keep well and take care Paul. 

Lovely track. Doesn't have to have any deep meaning when you can sing like this. I really admire the production here. Loads of atmosphere and everything is crystal clear.

That's some banter between you and @rightly !! I can't add anything to that thread, but I can enthuse hugely about this song because I love it. But then you know what I think as I've already said it on the other page!! Just keep doing what you do. I'm on board.

people in cities maybe , I don't know , Well city folks like lakes as they sit in rush hour .  I reckon
