lovely mood and feel jim, great atmosphere
falls apart briefly in the middle and gets a little confusing but picks up again, really nice
but i absolutely love the hummin vocal idea, think you should develop that, its magic ..
excellent jim

I like this track but its more James than Jim overall a nice track, will try to check your stuff as it crops up. would liked to have heard the lyrics build to a real howl

Very enjoyable and distinctive . The clean electric guitar parts compliment this song very well.  Overall, this has a strange hypnotic feel to it.  It's not the kind of music that I usually listen to so I find it hard to compare the genre.  Good to see that you're still an active writer.

Very nice Jim as usual 

I think this one could be ramped right up into a rocking in your face electric guitar fest

Go for it mate 

Thanks for the feedback everyone, time to get more teen spirit on forth coming tracks ,watch out 

Hiya Jim.

Loved that humming, you must have been very pleased when you came up with that.

I would have been

I think there are parts, when there are no vocals where it loses it a bit but that's a minor critisism, it's a great sound.

Loved the distorted bit as it faded out too. Kaf's right about the guitar fest too

Nice one.

Great slow burn... A throw-back style executed nicely. Vocals lose some of their strength/gusto at 1:35ish. I think a female singer doing some nice background vocals with you at the 1:55 mark would be sweet, maybe carrying some of the humming vocals with her through to the end. Just a suggestion. Very cool song.

Really like the verses on this. As many others have said the humming works a treat.
For me though, it weakens (the recording, not the song) on the 'she's the prettiest girl' etc bit, both because of the bottom end disappearing,
and because the timing gets a bit stilted. What I think would fix this a treat is a deep tremolo'd electric guitar on these bits with
the tremolo set to the tempo of the song. this would be a very 'in keeping' sound and keep the pressure on right through the track.

I must admit I'm a huge fan of tremolo - as you'll see as my stuff appears on here - so I'm biased, but other things you could do instead would be a bass and/or a reverberated floor tom on those bits. I'll post one of my songs that is in similar territory to show what I mean - It's called 'Rainsong'

 

thanks guys, i'll probably look back on your comments, a lot of good advice there

you did it again jim. great swampy feel to this one, keep watching that timing. the humming peace is great and that wah is just amazing (frogs in a swamp). tony joe white and johnny guitar watson are these your hero's?

Hi,
    I like this, has a nice atmosphere & some good sounds. A thought on listening to it a second time was that some industrial sounding percussion would fit a treat, but that's just a personal view. Nice one
