This is for those of you who enjoy the longer form video content where the nitty gritty is explained and it’s not all about click bait or quick dopamine hits. I’m so proud of the way this song turned out with my production, instrumentation and mixing. I never expected there to be a full choir, cornet and backing harmonies from Tom’s wife!

Recorded, produced, arranged and mixed by me.

Written by Tom Harris

Acoustic guitars and vocals by Tom Harris

Bass by Steven Oates

Choir arrangement by me

Mastered by Fred Kinbom – Madame Vega’s Boudoir

Music Producers spend many hours working on a track to make it sound as awesome as possible and then people listen to it through their phone or laptop speakers. Sigh. Where did the bass go?

This is a simple but effective method to help the bass to cut through on smaller speakers, but also to add some texture and width to the part.
