Just got this track back from Hook - the man knocks them out the park constantly. Thanks Bro.

I've come to the conclusion that mastering early or twice doesn't work well. I like the punchier sound of the mastered tracks - I sent this one to Hook mastered - he's sent me the mixed track (uploaded) - and the separate vox and melodica tracks. I need to mix these in into the base mix and then re-master overall. I think this will re-balance the mix, and make all the instruments blend in better. Also I want a bit more punch on the bass! I will do this tomorrow. But I wanted to upload as I am really happy with this track  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Hope you like - I sure do!

Nice and catchy melody, gents! I like the melodica tone - it gives a tasteful addition to this! Top notch production, too!

A really classy piece of work, boys. A song with a great vibe and lots of cool hooks. Nice one!

Thanks for sending this my way brother, I really enjoyed working on it and am very pleased with the song! That's some sweet sounding guitar! Here are the lyrics.
The Question
music written & performed by bruno
lyrics written & sung by Hook
Who is it that you think you are
& where do you assume you might be
& when all is said & done
Do you draw a line between fact & fiction?
     
      The Question keeps resurfacing
      I doubt that I'm the one to bring
      Any small semblance of truth
      It'd be nice to not need any proof

Can someone tell me how & why
My molecules stand side by side
I'm sure that it's not due to my pride
Though I've often felt that I influence the tide

      The question keeps resurfacing
      Each time it seems a little more troubling
      The who, where, why, when & how's don't add up
      But could it all be just random dumb lick

      Chorus 1
      Chorus 2

      The question keeps resurfacing
      & every time it does an angle gets his wings
      It's got to be about truth & discovery
      Because the sum of all the parts is much greater than me

Because the Hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The hook brings you back
On that you can rely

braw tell yer maw. greeat collab guys.

found over the years when collabing if, you are not sending out individual tracks for mixing, but  are sending completed parts back and forth to one another, it's best not to use any mastering tools until the final mix.
