This song is absolutely brilliant. I have listened to it about ten times now and I have to rewind every time to hear it again.

Cheers, John!

Thanks again to everyone who took the time to comment...much appreciated.

And thank you! Jambrains...that's very kind of you...

Recording and mixing the whole thing only took about 4 hours in total...We genuinely just sort of threw it together very quickly...not that we didn't take it seriously or give it our best shot. We absolutely did

I spent some time recently making more of an effort with mixing...and to be honest - the results seemed disproportionate to the effort involved...I like to just crack on, otherwise I get bored.

A shameful admission, perhaps

Listened to this a few times now...(and already commented)

I'll stick my neck out and say that's a telecaster on there. Can I ask which ?

If isn't that's embarrassing, but I love the guitar parts. Great time!

I don´t think so at all. Obviously you have to mix to a certain standard and there are little basic tricks that you can do quickly to make a mix stand out...if you do these and have the basic sounds right, I think it´s fine. Mastering is another deal entirely and probably far more important.

You're spot on, Adam...it's a fender deluxe tele

I have to agree with you Paul regarding the production and mixing stuff. Sometimes that first stab has so much energy and feeling that if you ass around with it too much it can be totally destroyed. There are some brilliant producers on this forum. I'm not one of them. Like you I get bored and want to move on.Vicki, your voice is sounding outstanding 

[CaliaMoko]

I also appreciate all the wonderful comments. It's nice to hear...I like my voice fine, but I kind of think it's bland, boring, and old ladyish a lot of the time. Maybe I just need to collaborate more often!

Paul did a great job on this song. He came up with the musical idea, and then he provided the story line. I messed a little with a few of the lyrics and did some singing. It was a lot of fun. I want to do it again.

Vicki,
I'm right with PompyJazz - youe voice sounds superb, Have confidence like a slightly more 60's Chrissie Hynde. Clear, loads of personality and I just love that vibrato of yours.
Have confidence

I thought I'd already left a comment, but I guess I was dreaming 
Anyway, I love everything about this track, including your voice Vicki 
The lyrics are well written, and kept my interest throughout 
IMO, the production is excellent Paul  Kudos!
