Afraid to Sleep

A new song! The poor singer Sherry was suffering with a terrible cold when recording the vocals, but still managed to do a sterling job!
Usual guitars used Ric 330/6 & 12 with Ibanez bass.

Hope you like it.

Good stuff, John. Very good song and a nice sound. I do like it.

Thanks for the comments. Do you think the vocals need to come up in the mix at all?

[ram]

John good tune.... wouldn't hurt to bring the vocals up a little.

[longhouse]

Nice feel. I like the refrain especially.

[miltric]

Great 80s alternative rock feel to this. The guitar textures are luscious. Really nice job!

The two of you consistently deliver some great songs. Please keep it up. Are you taking it out and gigging it a lot?

We're on the opposite sides of the planet, so no gigging I'm afraid. I don't play with a live band just home studio work.

Thanks for all the great comments.

New version uploaded.

I've fixed the vocal levels in the first chorus, tried to blend the bass guitar and kick drum a little more and removed a short 12 string instrumental bit from before the start of the second verse.

I think the song "flows" much better now.

Sound really good John! Reminds me a bit of The Motels.

Another great one, you guys! I do agree, though - Sherry's vocs could come up in the mix a little.
