I am cruising down the road with the AM radio on and the windows open and this song just came on the radio and I am turning it up and enjoying the ride.

That's the vibe it creates for me.

This sounds so full. And I get a comforting feel from this, like a strong, reassuring arm around the shoulders that's not pulling too tight, just enough to know it's there if I needed. And a feeling of optimism in the face of a daunting task as well. Hard to explain but good.

Oohhhh...very nice 70s feel to this. And that might be just my ears influenced because of my current Sirius XM setting of 70s tune. Nevertheless, I like this. Good little mix happening and I could hear the bass pretty good. I tend to listen for frequencies more closely to get a better mix perspective. Did you have anything specific in mind regarding vocals? Lyrics?

I love it, what a great vibe with that Cajón! You left room in just the right moments, a great mix of tones and styles here. One of my favorites I have heard from you... and the liner notes have a beauty of their own, too. Excellent!

yeah, this sounds right - keep the synth/leslie inspiration for another track! can't wait to hear that.

I'm so sorry to hear about your father - I saw him mentioned in the remembrance forum thread, and was taken aback. Condolences all round. Far out, what a world.

Vocals would be interesting - lot of options I think. Will be a fun result. Real nice flow - sorta sounds summery - maybe springy. guitar strumming kinda makes you want to do a busy slow dance. Production is nice - only thing maybe is give the bass a little more roundness - on my headphones I didn't notice the bass until near the second half - almost like it was hiding in a narrow freq range. otherwise, sounds so great - the room sounds comfortable - sitting around listening vibe. chill energy!

This sounds so good, I love those chords. Seems like something that could fit right in on a classic record from the 70s! Sorry for your loss.

Such a lively song! All the percussion give so much space. Doubled guitar is perfect. I noticed a lot of chord work and that’s what you mentioned in the description, haha

I love how you transition the percussion in and out!

This totally sounds like a lost Joni Mitchell song to me! Really nice mellow groove, and I like the combo of the hand drums and acoustic guitar. The parts where it kind of picks up and gets a little more rocking are a great changeup too.

Warm and wonderful. So much human touch in all the instruments and that leads the song in a very positive and encouraging direction. Fun to hear all the percussion! Completely satisfying!!

So sorry about SrCoops. But I'm so glad you've all got such a great support system in each other. Totally dug this song. Even if this wasn't what you got to start with it's still here and sounds fantastic.

I’m sorry to read about your father’s passing, my sincere condolences 💚 I enjoy the warm guitar and the bass. Aux percussion adds a tasty touch

A really groovy song. I enjoyed this very much.

I also don’t really know the theory and go with what I like the sound of.

I’m loving the vibe on this! The chords are so welcoming and open, with a breezy feel. Nice rhythms happening as well!

Mine rarely follow written/started order. I’m glad you are plugging on SR would be proud I am sure. That seems like a lot of chords to me! Well done. Nice solid piece, moves along enough to stay very interesting.

Came here from your brother’s page. Left a note with my deepest sympathies to you and your family. I can relate as my mom died January 29th last year and I found FAWM a welcome distraction.

Nice song. Everything sounds terrific and well recorded to my ear. Nice playing and a joyful vibe! Wishing you a wonderful FAWM!

First off, so sorry about your dad. It's so nice to know how close your family is and how grateful you all seem to be. My condolences to you all...

I read your profile page and saw that you wanted to focus on mic'ing and mixing. I kind have the same goals but I'm feeling like I've got way more to learn than you. The acoustic here sounds great. The bit at :20 and 1:20 with the picked acoustic notes sounds killer. You are getting a big sound out of the acoustic in general. Congos were a good purchase. They add a lot. Nice little shaker and of course the Cajon. Overall a very enjoyable. Glad I stopped by...
