Title: Hold Me by BerryPatch
Post by: BerryPatch on March 20, 2023, 07:43:07 PM
This track started as a frig around with my Dano 12 string. I was checking out the garageband auto drummer (something I've never really done yet) and started playing the opening progression. I thought "oh what the hell!" and started going about making it into a song. I was thinkng of The Raspberries when I was recording it (great band!) so this is sort of in the style of them. I tried my best at get a crazy Eric Carmen vocal ;). Enjoy...

Danelectro 12 string
Epiphone P90 SG
Epiphone Viola Bass
Godin Acoustic
Shure SM57 and SM58 Mics
Amp tones, auto drummer and organ from Garageband
Mixed on Garageband, mastered on Bandlab

Oh yeah, a great fresh-sounding summery song with a cool vibe & great vocal work. Love the guitar work and the overall feel of the song is nice and up-lifting.

Excellent Keith! Great vocals and the guitars are cool. The auto drummer sounds good and what a good tool for song writing!

Hells yeah! Mission accomplished, I would say.

A sunny slice of power-pop. I love it!

This is breathtakingly good! Power-poppy is also a flower kind of goodness.

Those vocs are so to the point! And the guitars. I'd say this artist currently known as BerryPatch can do no wrong.

glad you kept going it... and I think many great songs are born of practice for sure.

bass cooks along with the vocals...

Perfect pop song, Keith! The chorus with harmonies sounds so sweet, I got a strong Beatles vibe (or is it Rasberries, I'm not familiar with them :D ).

Enjoyable listening!

Takes me back to about 1965 and my big 45 RPM record collection.  Great tune and production.

Well I already knew I was going to love it, but not this much.

Gorgeous, soaring pop that is so good for the soul.

Lovely attention to detail, nice retro feel, sumptuous guitar tones, fantastic vocal - it has the lot.

Are you sure this isn't a song from the 60's/ 70's ? Bloody hell it's great. Has that feel to it. The music is superb, the GarageBand drummer is cool. Really love the vocals and lyrics. :)
