    So true sir. There are still dedicated musicians and songwriters out there that do the hard graft and small gigs. All they need is a break. But I think it's harder than ever to get through the commercial structure that's going on at the moment.

This song needs a voice with more sparkle and at the same time more depth. I just listened to the Mamas and Papas, just to refresh my memory of their performance of this song and it did not change my mind. I will have to see if Lauren is singing lead on anything else because as I said she has a great voice.

When the studio mixes them, they use Autotune to get the best sound they can. Believe it or not, it's not really that much of a change to the tone of the vocalist. If they are little flat or sharp, it will bring them back to pitch. These kids don't have much of a pitch problem, so it makes them sound that much better.

    I have to mention, its not just the performers that nailed it, its the audio engineers that wrestled with the reverbs, eqs, compression and overall balance that made this hit. Great job to all folks involved! The people behind the scenes running the studio have a lot of hard work to pull off great mixes, the population needs to see more of how cool that process is!!!

    It's almost hard to believe that these are teenage students. They sound more polished and professional than many professionals. The vocals are thrilling, the keyboards and guitars brilliant, and the drummer drives the song with impeccable timing and skill. And the "traveling" bassist is such a joy to watch. Besides laying down perfect rhythm in total synch with the drummer, she clearly is having the time of her life. Whether these kids choose music as a career or just a hobby, they have the goods to go far. Cheers!
