Title: New Song: Any Time I Catch Your Eye
Post by: hypehat on August 21, 2012, 07:44:03 AM
Just swung the first mix of this up on Soundcloud, thought you might all be interested. Although it's very much an exercise in getting the hang of recording/performing/etc after nearly a month away from music. Which is why it's all a bit... much  :lol

I love this!!!!!! People aren't writing pop songs like this anymore.  A real mid-60s Wrecking Crew "feel". It reminds me so much of Gary Lewis' "Jill" and "Girls In Love" in feel, as well. I know it's rough and everything but I think it's really cool - it has layers of things going on that warrant a second and third listen. I'd love to hear further mixes or rerecords etc on this one!

Thanks man  ;D Know for sure those harmonies need work. Am quitting smoking atm though, so my voice is ironically worse than when I was coating my lungs with lovely tar 10 times a day.

Wow !

I really like it ! The songwritting is genius, it reminds me of Burt Bacharrach ... And Brian of course (but more Bacharrach I think).

Too bad there are a few uncertain drum fills and harmonies. But your arrangements are killers ! Especially the strings.

I can't wait to hear further mixes.  :smokin

Nice man! Very Motown. Your songs always have those melodies that stand out and keep the listeners' attention. Keep up the good work!
