Your boss is giving you a mess of crap
Ya wanna pick up a baseball bat
Your wife is saying all the bills are due
And the kids are doing lousy in school

Worries hit like a Yolonda typhoon
Here's some cowboy logic what to do

Let your imagination
Just float you away
Throw crazy off a cliff
Let it drown next to Clown fish
Toss trouble in a Charlie Chaplin hat
Don't dwell on all that

Still a few broken dreams in my heart
And highways get long in midnight hours
This story guitar don’t run out of songs
With split personalities in a wooden box

I can be in Spain or France in my mind
Strumming along in this tin can double wide

Let my imagination
Just float me away
Throw crazy off a cliff
Let it drown next to Clown fish
Toss trouble in a Charlie Chaplin
Don't dwell on all that

We all wanna be a bit younger
Were all getting a bit older
We want that clock to stop
And when life throws rocks

Let our imagination
Just float us away
Throw crazy off a cliff
Let it drown next to Clown fish
Toss trouble in a Charlie Chaplin hat
Off the hook-Maserati fast
Burn down that frown
Don't dwell on all that

This one is very good. I absolutely love the backing vocals. Pretty complex stuff in there. The stereo sound is awesome. I like it.

All the best

Well... I have to say it... This is two in a row now...

I think whoever's doing your mixing is just taking your money.

This is definitely an Elvis Nash lyric! With an Elvis Nash vocal!
No problem there...

However;
I don't think the music really fits the rhythm and mood of the lyric. It's too mechanical and piecemeal, which makes the VOX seem forced. Yeah', there's a couple cool production tricks in there, but the overall effect seems very "Band In A Box" to me. Like, whoever arranged this, just picked a beat and made the lyrics fit... Like rap with a few samples strung together. It just doesn't feel natural and "organic" to me.

On the other hand, since you've been known to rap a bit, that may be the effect you're shooting for...?

Then, I think I'm hearing a phasing problem with the reverb? It sounds like echo in a coffee can...

Don't swing your knee out of joint lol... Remember to consider the source of this critique, I'm certainly no pro.
But, this lyric deserves a mix befitting your "talk/sing" style.

I wrote the melody Tony : Mason just tracked it out
We used King fish distortion on vox

That's obvious... lol


Well, if you can't hear the difference...

IMO, Mason has definitely done a better job for you in the past.

"Well each song can't please everyone : I try for a new vibe on each song : Or its just a string of sound a likes"
"I have the option of listening to current (hits), say what's going in the blues world , or pop world, or country world , ALT rock world . Like a song and go for their vibe"
"And that's what I do", reference (Hits)."
"The difference ? Yes I hear it . Its about a 20k difference , from Kingfish song ".

"( Hits) is kind of a watered down word to me now, with billions of artists due to the net. "
"But thanks for taking a interest Tony"
"I'm like Dylan when he went electric I guess lol "

Hey Rob
Its a bitta work on all that
thanks man

On the other hand, since you've been known to rap a bit, that may be the effect you're shooting for...?

Kinda Tony , You have to admit hits are bit mechanical , at least some , with all the AI going on
That's the song I referenced on Dwell

I get what Tony is saying, but I think it works. It does have a loose feel to it, but I like that, when it's well done, as it is here. Very enjoyable.

What do you mean, when you say, "I wrote the melody Tony : Mason just tracked it out." Not sure what "tracked it out" means.

Hey Gavin

"What that means is I wrote all the chords and melody for the song"
"So what I do next is listen to current radio, I might spend a few hours doing that
"What vibe fits what I'm trying to do ? So Mason in Nashville listens to my work tape( which by the way is always just acoustic)" .
Then he listens to : Shoot Me Straight , By Osborn Bros , That's the vibe I'm going for"

Ok sends me tracks to sing to made in Nashville .
Tracks would be everything your hearing without vocals done in Nashville . Drums guitars ect ect , following my chord patterns
I sing it here , he adds BGV's and mix it
And were done

Pro songwriters do the same thing
They make a work tape and Nashville demo studios record the song
The only thing diffrent since I'm the artist , I sing it .
They use killer demo singers , Who ever that might be Gavin
Their purpose is to pitch the song to whoever , Mine's not... just a artist song

I take what Nashville has to offer for my own purposes Gavin , I know my strengths and weakness'es

I'd like to hear your original acoustic version.

Why its just a work tape , We never use them , Unless I wanted to travel to Nashville and record on tracks
I write 4 songs a month or so , Its not economically right to travel 4 times a month to Nashville to record
I never put much effort in work tapes , Its basically just a idea , A blue print to follow , Then start from there

Thanks for the explanation, Ben. I thought that was probably it. I recorded a couple of songs in Nashville and did something similar, although I sent them rough BIAB versions with home recorded vocals. Also, since Nashville is not horribly far from me, I went through there and sang the vocals there into a decent mic LOL.

I'm in Calif , if I was younger and more confident on the pitching deal , I'd go twice a month and record , To much work
They would never sing Clown Fish and Charlie Chaplin , I can sing anything if it works.
I'm not concerned what Nashville will sing anymore
I'm not knocking Nashville songs , I just can't be them

Here ya go Tony
ruff version
https://soundcloud.com/elvisnash/dwell-vox-ref_110bpm
Just a blue print Tony ; He went off that
its the same thing really , basically

Lol...
I'm willing to bet that your "work tape" would lead me in an entirely different direction

Besides, you in the raw would be a treat.

Wait...
I mean the naked unprocessed you...
The "Full Monte", so to speak...

Don't take the wrong way!

Its just a ruff version Tony
To be truthful , its takes a day to get in a groove what Mason sends back , I'm just a acoustic player , he rocks it out Tony
My goal is to do a few acoustic shows when I get better settled , get my chops down to sound decent
Naw I'm to old to take offence Tony , lol
So all Mason does is follow my lead , rock it out. Melody don't change , just tracks
How many have we did together ? Maybe 40 or more

I'm sure it would Tony , Get my tracks guys , 5 diffrent songs and ideas
I mainly concern myself with the Lyrics and what it says
I'm not a track guy

"Now all this Jazz Tony : So people hear it ; And more songs to keep the pace going on Youtube Tony"

a lot of work , besides just songs

So my ears have been ringing for at least 40 years now. So I bought some medicine , with a picture of an ear on the box and a dropper. So I put 15 drops in each ear . Then I found my glasses , the instructions said 15 drops in water and drink it
the hearing has not improved , one ear crackles when wife bitches about music

I'm way to lazy to own a studio , So I pay guys to make me look good Tony . then take all the credit
Listen to my wife bitch , your wasting money as she supports a 3rd world country and family , On Drum roll , : My country "
I'm teaching her to drive , now the car looks like Barbie lives in there , with smiling bears and half moons and such

http://www.studio132.com/#player1?catid=0&trackid=0

Dwell was not sung at his studio , But I'm back to Lewis who owns studio 132 , cuz he's more pro than other studio
