I was drawn to this when I saw Carol Douglas wrote the lyrics as I heard her with Dawny D over at the click. Her lyrics are top notch by the way. This is a very pretty song. Vocals are very good.

Wow... I am impressed! Excellent production! I must agree with LEXZ... although this song deserves more than just a CD. The lyrics are fantastic, but you have made this song a classic with your superb performance, both vocal and instrumental and yes the reverb adds a nice touch.... love the melody so moving!
Blessings,
Sharon

Sensitve and well structured piece... the vocals carry the piece extremely well and deliver the emotion... Carol's lyrics are quite good... very genuine. Enjoyed this one Dazed!
07/09/08 09:32:59PM @chronamut:
hmm.. I like the use of strings with the guitar - this sogn definitely feels lighter - and not so in your face as "desperate man". I also love the reverb - really makes it sound live
I really don't have anything constructive to say about the structure of the song - all sounds really good! I like the chorusing of your voice too
and as selftort mentioned I also love the absence of drums - make it more like a ballad

The seriously high quality of the production leaps out straight away, but only because the song is so good. Like Brian, I like the absence of the drums - just as you think it's building up it drops down again and keeps you wanting more (the end took me by surprise too!)
Top song, performance and production!!

I'm amazed at the diverse versions of this song that are appearing. This is a really lovely passionate version Dazed. I like the absence of drums....it really gives the track a vulnerable quality that is perfect for your take on the lyrics. Lovely picking and nice bass. Excellent vocals. Great work
Cheers

A lovely listen..
Peace n love mags xx

That Carol Douglas can write them! in fact, I think they named the compact disc in honor of her. This song should be on CD's next CD for sure, and not just this song, but this version. You have captured the eseence of the lyrics perfectly, cut right through to that "heart of gold" Carol writes about. Superb playing and singing - and the production makes sure we don't miss any of it. Hmmm, maybe CD is really Carol Dazed.

Super...songwriting,awesome vocals ! The backing tracks fit the vibe on this take most perfectly.Damn' fine work....Mr.Dazed !!!
Just a heads up to also start looking for music from WildCherry, Saturated, Buddrumming and Dazed over at Wild SaturDazed .
Well I have not updated this...
Just a heads up to also start looking for music from WildCherry, Saturated, Buddrumming and Dazed over at Wild SaturDazed .
Well I have not updated this in forever so here is a little background on me.
Music started for me at an early age. My father sang opera and played piano so there was always music around the house. Around the age of 12 or so I got a Tara acoustic guitar. I am not sure if they even make those any more. Anyway from there I went to an Electra electric guitar. I had a buddy who was ripping Eddie Van Halen solos around the age of 14 so he became my guide. The kid was brilliant. There was literally nothing he could not play including classical.
Anyway I started playing in a few bands. I bought a Gibson Les Paul Standard but was primarily doing vocals. I bounced around with bands but mostly played for my enjoyment. I ended up selling my Les Paul (long story) and this time, I had an Ovation 12 string and another electric. However I was just not playing as much so I pretty much stopped for 6 years.
Eventually I had the urge to play again so I had seen all of those Carvin Catalogs and bought a Carvin Cobalt Acoustic. Amazing guitar. By this time, my beautiful wife, WildCherry, had me building a website for her. It was kind of fun to do so I ended up building a site called Guitarstworks.com. Having that site really pushed me into playing more and opened up a whole new world for me. Home recording had me hooked. It was not long after that I bought a Carvin CT6M. What an amazing and stunning guitar! Then I added a Carvin amp and eventually WildCherry bought a Carvin custom Bass.
GuitaristWorks lasted about 2-3 years and we changed the name to iMusicScene in order to appeal to all musicians and not be specific to only one instrument. iMS was beginning to grow when the Mixposure domain was set to expire. Obviously we acquired the domain but at a hefty price. Hopefully it will work out for everyone in the long run!
Thanks for reading my bio and checking out my page. Most of all though, thanks for being a part of Mixposure.
