Terry, I listened to all 5:48! It took 1 minute 40 seconds to load over DSL, but started playing after 11 seconds of buffering.
Good song! You're singing me to sleep. Night all.

It was meant as a compliment for sure!

terry...

I just listened to the FC version
"Is Our Love Real" My first impressions were "EAGLESesque", I really enjoyed the easiness of the groove, drums and harmonica also. IMO... I thought the Vocals were a bit hard to dicifer due to constant Vocal Harmony thruout the song. I also was waiting for a bridge of some kind in the middle. Lyrics were great. I give it 8 1/2 Stars !!

Donny,
Thanks for the input....and just for the reason you stated..."you kept waiting for the bridge in the middle" is why it isn't there. Considering I am not a musical prodigy I try instead to not make my compositions or one cd to the next predictable. Meaning I purposly strive not to do traditional expected things with my work.

Hi Terry,
Have listened to the full version and enjoyed it very much. I know what Don M means.....I also found the song strangely hypnotic and personally would have found a bridge disruptive to that effect. (Sorry Donny )

I also liked the way your vocal phrasing / timing was not predictable. I'm sure I won't explain this too well but it was almost like I would expect the next line of vocal to start and it would catch me out by waiting a beat, sometimes two, whilst giving time for a trill or melody to tail off properly. I really liked that effect.

I too think that the verses would have 'stood out' a little more if vocal harmony had been reserved just for the chorus. Having said that your music is definately unpredictable and you wrote it so you is the musical director on this one

Of all of your work that I have listened to this is definately my fave to date. Excellent.
Very best to you
Tony W

Tony,
Thanks alot your input and encouragement mean alot to me. The phrasing is something else characteristic of my work to try and make it as much not status quo as possible.
jam on,
Terry
