Tonight (SmithC/AndyG/Docmidnite/Drumguy)

[AndyG6508]

Another old chestnut given a makeover thanks to the producer talents of the Doctor!!

Turned out pretty good I think, a solid pop rock tune, with great performances from Smithie, Mark and Henry.

Yeah, it prolly took a bit longer to get this one road ready .... but it´s something we can be proud of!
I really like the drumsound a lot, no extra samples used, just mixing Marks drums in!
And the vocalsound!!! Yeah!

[DrumGuy]

Thanks Henry - a fine job you did! (and everyone for that matter) 

Glad you liked the drum sound because you'll be working with the same on your next project. 

Mark

[SmithC]

Must thank Henry for the initial suggestion while recording...it gave the song a whole new dimension

Smithie

[CosmicDolphin]

Nice one Guys...reminds me of stuff from the movies in the 80's...when they made real music !

[rightonthemark]

reminded me a bit of the outfield.
another well done tune.

[NickT]

Good listen! The kit sounds great.

Somebody really likes the Outfield! Nice Spanky Strat sound.

Good job all!

Thanks for listening, Nick!
Well, I never heard of The outfield so it's  coincidentally 
If it's a band that was popular in the 80s it might be bc my musical socialization took place in that time...

Edit: ah, I checked YouTube ... Yep I know their smash hit Your Love from '85... Yep, sounds abit like them

[AndyG6508]

Hey guys,

When Smithie and I wrote this one, we definitely had the Outfield in mind . I think it was the mid-late 80s.

Just had to say great job guys. I really enjoy this song. I too am a product from the eighties and yes it's very much like the Outfield song "Your Love" Which is funny because "Your Love " was one of my daughters favorite songs. If the Outfield would have had this song they would have had TWO hits. Turned out Awesome.

[AndyG6508]

Thanks MM! Yes, the 80s stuff gets knocked nowadays, but there was quite a bit of good music put out then. In fact MTV used to play mostly rock during 1987-1992.
