I really like this one. It has all the elements of a good song and your production and musicianship is very good. I particularly like the bass guitar work.

Clever song

Makes you think , how many land marks you've walked past and just taken for granted.
Has a real Brit Pop feel.
Love the guitar arrangements...a great listen.

Yes, before I read the other comments I was also thinking “Ray Davies” and “XTC”, which is fine company to keep.
I think this is one of your best Neil. Great upbeat guitars and the lyrics are cool,and the middle section rocks out nicely. Great stuff.
It's all too beautiful.

Whato @Neil C - Hooky indeed, and carefullt crafted, Love the mid8 chords, and the gtr sounds, BVox too sound tight, just a couple of ideas...maybe use a pick on the bass, it would give it a bit of punch.

The LVox sounded a little laid back for this choppy track, just a tad more balls in the vocal delivery maybe with some female ooh's in the hooks.

Hope this helps Neil

I really like this Neil. You've got a real songcraft sensibility about your pop. Production is excellent as always. The structure works really well, leading from the verses to the choruses with a nice little run-down and lead in. You also give it a bit of variety in the changes, then during the solo and cleverly take out the instruments for the final verse before building back up again. It's a classy arrangement.

Sometimes I do wish you'd give it a little more welly with your voice, I think it would suit a song like this one. But all in all, it's great. Thanks for posting!
