the doctor is in! very impressive show of creativity! this is so original and so out of the box...with great music and fantastic vocals. interesting turns and sharp transitions without missing a beat. the synth work and percussions are stunning! i love your chior style vocals and flute floating along in the distance. and theres' the ole xylophone! i like your guitar buzzing in my ear too buZz BuZz! crystal clean recording with dazzling eq and nice work on the mastering. a delisiouso audio delight that will command your ears to come back for more! and it sounds very fine on my minnie mouse headphones! it's my new favorite from you! great work, josi!!
wow! this is fantastic, guys!! very professional and amazing lyrics and vocals. all so perfectly on point. wonderful harmony sound you guys have on this! so bright and love the tenor vocal vamps! great music and arrangement too. the mixing and mastering are superb! and very interesting subject matter too! when someone you were close to, really breaks your heart...it's almost as if you don't even know who they are anymore...as they are not the same person you fell in love with and you end up grieving what once was. so this new image becomes somewhat of a nameless stranger to you. it takes time and then you might fall in love again or you can just have a nice pet like a gold fish or cat. well, that's a bit of what i got from this. very clever really...and i think it's really well done and should be on the radio!!
big hugs & great collab fellas
wowzah! just as tasty as escargot : )) ! i love this version, josi!! it's a bit different than the version you had once sent me? i absolutely love your growly and slightly seductive vocals on this. just great and theatrical vocal dynamics...with fantastic musical arrangement. i love the lyrics too! the snails!! the snails :O!
_@'' _@'' _@'' some crawlers for you!!
very well done!! 17 years and worth the wait!
totally classic j.o. simon, this has your signature all over it! so jazzy and cool! i love the music...along with your amazing lyrics and vocals. love that sassy walking bass line! your harmonies are always so smooth. you did a great job on this. be so proud of your hard work!
big hugs!!
the softer side of j.o. simon!! great passionate vocals. i love the music and arrangement on this one. very professional work here, my dear friend! this should be on the radio!!
