Thanks for the comments guys, much appreciated!
@CaliaMoko Glad you liked it, the major and minor was not deliberate at the outset but came out that way!
@Jamie We'll take a Ray Davies comparison any day. Thanks!
@cowparsleyman Thanks Rich, but don't go giving Neil too much credit!
@MichaelA Power Pop is probably a good description, I loved a lot of that back in the day so definitely one of my influences, not that I'd thought about it tbh. Appreciate the compliments especially on the BVs, it's something I've been playing with on a couple of songs, trying to do something slightly different than just doubling or third above stuff. I've chastised Neil, the lyricist, on his sloppy rhyming
@Wicked Deeds Thanks Paul. The main guitar on the intro has a tiny amount of reverb but I have layered a second track behind it at much lower volume and added a tape delay so. think that's what you are hearing. When the next 2 guitar parts come in, they are the same sound as the first but without the delay layer. I wanted to give it the airy jangle sound that Rich mentioned so there are 4 different guitar parts then duplicated and panned so it's what I wanted but I will have a play with it to see how different levels sound especially on the delay. Thanks for the comment!
@kafla I don't know what to say! Thanks Man!
@montydog Thank! I don't like to compliment Neil on his lyrics but I think we can all associate with the things we did in our childhood and I think that's one of the things that attracted me to this particular set of lyrics and then to compose a happy jangly song around them.
@pompeyjazz I remember the magic roundabouts as well, bloody nightmare! More guitars, Not sure I'd have known where to put them
. Glad you liked it, maybe one for Radio Solent!
