I wrote this about a year ago. I recorded this version this morning, with the exception of the piano and bass (which were done a few months ago). This isn't necessarily done and definitely isn't mixed, but there's nothing I like more on a Sunday morning than recording. So I recorded.

PS, I want comments. Or criticism. Or praise. Or your hard-earned dollars. Or ... (whatever, you get the idea)

I like this !
I think especially the track is very cool. Maybe some work needs to be done for the vocals imo. But it's really cool.

Thanks. Somebody else said something about vocals, too, suggesting that I do harmonies the whole way through. But I think it was just a polite way to say the leads are pretty weak. I am going to at least rerecord them as-is, and maybe rearrange them somewhat, too. I am not quite sure how yet, but it's no rush anyway. (Maybe next time I won't drink while doing the vocals. Or maybe I'll drink more. We'll see which works better.)

I appreciate the comments, and am glad you like the track. It was tricky, in that I didn't use my drummer. Instead I copied the sound of his kick from a different song and manually inserted it where I wanted it. The shaker sound is my going "tch" with my mouth. 'fraid I''m a bit limited percussively. But I thought it turned out OK. The elec guitar and organ, in particular, i enjoyed.

Great jaunty track, sort of reminds me a bit of CSNY in  your vocal blend, the guitar stop-start bit reminds me a bit of Mike Oldfield for some reason!
Overall I enjoyed it, the production was particularly enjoyable - I like the swirly organ too!
