This is one of Karl's tracks that we started a few days ago but I couldn't nail the bassline. This is a lot of fun and we enjoyed getting this down in the end. Karl bought a megaphone which we managed to use in the chorus.
No cars
No crowds
No awkward silence
Falling through the trees
Long white clouds
Peace and quiet
Nothing much to see
Far above
Nothing but blue skies
Nothing but blue skies
Above
No walls
No doors
Slow down don’t worry
All he ever wanted to be,
We’ve all got wings
But we seem uncertain
There’s no need to speak.
Far above
Nothing but blue skies
Nothing but blue skies
Above
From bird to bird
Tree to tree
From down here
It all looks so easy
No class
No towns
No sense in driving
Follow me through the trees
Goodbye winter,
Hello, summer,
Nothing but you and me.
Far above
Nothing but blue sky’s
Nothing but blue sky’s
Above

Ooo casual peak district drive chillin in my van music here. Really lovely super chilled groove guys and i reckon the bass line works. Adore the harmonies going on here. Bet you two have so much fun doing these

This is chill and jaunty and cool. I’d love to listen to it while bopping around town on a spring day.
This is the second “bird” song of yours I’ve heard this year (I think?). Seems you may be drawing some lovely inspiration from nature? Love the line “ From down here / It all looks so easy.”

Very good vocals! Love the sound. Very smooth and enjoyable.

Hand claps ...cool. I am a summer person so I can relate to this ...just give me "blue skies"
@driftwood1 Feb 2022
Nice groove to this, punctuated by those claps. The chill vibe is perfect for the lyric. I'm ready for summer now :D

In an alternate universe, Pink Floyd was a joyful band and they wrote a song called “Good Day Blue Sky” and it sounded an awful lot like this.
It’s exactly what’s on the label: poppy funky fun. And so beautifully sparse, I always go overboard when attempting funky basslines and guitar licks. I also struggle making those types of riffs sit right in the mix. This is right on. Nice track!
@chrisshepard Feb 2022
Damn....smoooth and well-produced! Always impressive work with you! The chorus is very very nice. Just lovely all around.

This has such a relaxed feel. Like Robert Palmer once said: a sound I want to wash my hair in.
@eas3637 Feb 2022
Perfect driving song! Agree with @fonte about the amazing bass line, claps, and stellar lead vocals (and harmonies). Such a delight.
@jdschramm Feb 2022
Love the double clap . Bass line is fun too. The chorus is really catchy with the keys/guitar that come in.

Oompf this. Is. Brilliant. Totally hooked in from the get go. Love the verse melody. Guitar and bass tones are gorgeous. Vocal delivery is so good. Love the shakers and the claps. The BVs are perfect. Really love your voice. Sorry, it’s a cliche to say but this sounds ready for the radio to me :-)
