Good tune!
I like the melodic guitar. I'd do it with more distortion but that's just me.
Great job.

Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it...yep I tend to favour cleaner guitar sounds, although I do like to rock out occasionally too. Might be time to do that again soon!
Cheers for listening in

The vocal on this is magnificent. Your voice has such depth and warmth, and there is a sweet but melancholic vibe there that really adds to the poignancy of the lyrics. Great performance, and terrific song. I think the instrumentation is nice, and the guitar has a lovely clear sound. If there was one thing I'd change, it'd be adding a different guitar over some parts, just for a different 'color', but this is a nit, and does not detract from the power of the song. Very cool. Nicely done. Peace.

Thanks Dajama
Thanks for listening and commenting, I really enjoyed working on this track particularly with the cello and orchestra parts (not something I am known for). Need to get my keyboard controller working again so I don't have to really on the 'musical typing' approach.

Sounds good...
Good to hear the fitch cello in one of your songs - it's a favourite of mine. Nice 'laid-back' tune and vocal delivery. I like the guitar sound, warm but clean, and the vocals blend in well with it. Nice strings too!

Lovely stuff Steve
It's good to hear this one - there's something about your voice in this which is a little different. Perhaps you're singing in a slightly higher register than usual - whatever it is, I really like the way it sounds. I'd probably like the cello a little softer in the mix, but I really like the tune overall - one of your best I suspect. I hear you're using your Mexican accent rather than Catalan ;)

Hehe...i did check the pronounciation of Andalucia (or Andalusia) with my Spanish neighbour and he assured me it was a valid one! Particularly for a gringo like myself. Never actually been there but Spain is my favourite European country, have been to Madrid and Barcelona many many times. Fab places.
Thanks for listening in

As usual Steve
Your vocals just take top seat! Excellent. I love the tune/melody in this.

Personally I found there was some interaction between the guitars that I found a little distracting. Not bad. Just noticed sort of a dissonance in places. Maybe that's the sound you are going for.

Steve your vocals and guitar work are so strong I'd personally love to hear this with a single guitar, bass, your vocals and the cello. Just me.

Thanks Mark
Glad you enjoyed this song, I might well modify it further in future - perhaps with some female backing vox.
Thanks!

I think
you have such a strong, deep voice and it is what I pay the most attention to. Really nice melody. Could you post the lyrics? Thanks.

Thanks Char
Thanks for listening, I will try and locate my lyrics and get them posted. I am usually too embarrassed to put the lyrics up as I never think they look too good on the naked page!
Cheers

I really like
the lovely rich and warm sound this has. I think the guitar sounds wonderful and I found the beginning with just the guitar very full and striking.
Lovely song, instrumentation and great vocals. Impeccable mix.
Cheers

PS: Really sorry I missed this evening - hope you had a good time.

Had a really good evening last night with Dick, Bob and Peter...went in The Globe and then we moved onto another boozer called 'The barrowboy and banker'.... Shame you couldn't make it but I am sure another night out will be on the cards soon!

I
love your vocals on this Steve, you have a great tone to your voice with a lovely warm sound.
Really nice guitar sound too and some great playing but the cello is magnificent, what a great sound and this for me has to be one of your best!
Very much enjoyed!

BTW I enjoyed Tuesday evening very much, always good to meet you for a beer and a chat, look forward to the next time!

All the best
