First song in a long time...

been busy with the usual work and stuff and also had a wee lad over from Spain for a month. A cousin of my daughter, so had to take them on little trips here and there so again hadn't any time for doing songs... i have a lot of catching up to do.

Excuse the bad mix on this as just did it on headphones. I will try and improve if i get time.

Nice one, Mike. I'm not familiar with any Oasis music (except maybe Wonderwall) so this is completely new to me. I really like it. It's got a cool swing/feel to it. The mix sounds fine to me. Everything's clear. Great job on the vocals and playing. Everything sounds fab.

As I said in another post, I'm not a fan of Oasis but it's a very good job and your voice is really good

You might find this odd but I've never heard any of Oasis' songs or at least none that I knew were them. The music and your vocal sounds real good here as does the mix. I might have to start listening to some Oasis now. A good one Mike!

I'm not familiar with this song either. You've done excellent job on each way. I like that clear guitar tone - great vocals as well!

I'm on the second listening - I should get Definitely Maybe under the dust...

I don't know the original but you did a great job here. The mix works fine, the drums drive it along nicely, the vox sound good and the guitars work well. Allo round a nice job and a great vocal performance.

I'm also not familiar with Oasis. Mike you sound really good on this and the mix sits fine to my old ears.
Great tune and sound.
