Another Nice song. Love the detuned piano it adds character to the track!

The song has all what a song needs to be perfect. The vocals, the breaks, the solos on guitar, the mix, ...
Everything hits the spot. I think you just had an overdose of musical nightshift. For me your best number this year.

  Thanks!  Now that I'm re-listening a couple days later with fresher ears, I still see some stuff I could nitpick, but that's true every week! 

  Thanks!  I do like to try to find a few little touches like that to make things a little more interesting.

  I appreciate that.  I really do feel like my creativity flows better at night, I just got too caught up in the tweaking and then got tired.  Both sleepy tired and ear tired.

Care to dance m'lady? (Puts down jug of beer)... She lifts her big puffy dress above her ankles in jest. We smile and dance merrily... Everyone is sweaty, laughing and in great spirits... Twas a night to remember

Such an appropriate title it is.

Try to listen to it again in two years, you'll love it again.

One of these songs wich are just lovely...
I really enjoy that happy piano (ding ding ding) and that claps awesome

Oh man i really know that... girl is out of town you have so much time and start working on something.. forget to eat.. it gets later and later and you don't know if you should eat or sleep you feel like crap and have the feeling that you're not finished your project. Happens to me most on electronic projects, i have a bunch of not quite finished diy synth

But this song is really good and i think your night was a success!

Fantastic tune! Those hand claps hit the spot once they come in and I really dig your vocal melody. I feel ya on over tweaking...once you get the urge to "fix" something, it's hard to shake... You're rocking it, though!

I can picture that scene quite clearly!

  Yeah, I'm sure you're right about that.  It already sounds a little better to me.

  Yeah, nothing seems to eat up time for me more than recording.  I'll get in the zone and next thing I know hours have passed.  It's cool, but also a little scary!

  Thanks!  Yeah, I've found when you try to hard to achieve perfection, you usually don't.  And sometimes the imperfections are what make a song most interesting.  I'm sure I'll get stuck in tweak mode again though.  It's inevitable.

  Thanks for listening!  Yeah, I'm sure we've all been there with the over-tweaking at some point.  Goes with the territory I guess.

Lovely chord progression, especially with the strums and solo towards the end.  I know personally ear fatigue can be physically and mentally draining. But sometimes just a fresh ear is all it takes   nice job!

  Yeah, I get obsessed with finishing but really the best thing you can do is come back later with fresh ears.  Thanks for listening!

Yeah, final result sounds good! I really relate to your story, I felt the frustration as I read it. So tempting to stay up and pull the all nighter, or half nigher even, and so rarely work it in the long run. All about the the fresh ears and fresh mind body and soul. All the good creative stuff seems to come from sleep anyway. This is a nice song, like the lyrics.

  Thanks!  The older I get the more I realize the importance of sleep!
