Thanks everyone for your comments... really appreciated. Gary

I was thinking of adding a voiceover at the end... "It is finished" Thanks for the listen and bomments folks.

@emeraldsoul thanks for listening. I'll have ago at raising the volume as suggested. Thanks for taking the time to listen.

Lonely Walk Soundcloud A classical piece written by my son a few years ago. It is about Christs journey to the cross. I've updated it with new orchestral samples. This is not the final mix but shows a project soon to be finalised. Would value your thoughts and opinions as always. Gary

Hi Paul. The greatest songs come from the heart… is it a true story... because it certainly feels like that? I think there are a few out of tune phrases… but in my opinion I think that gives the "from the heart" feeling. I had to play the song a second time... there is something about it. Well done-

Nice tune. 🙂 Synth sound too bright for me on my monitors but playing is nice. Bring down the bass a little bit more?? Reminds me of one of those songs that you used to hear when you went to Spain on holiday. 🙂 Maybe its just me… but has an 80's vibe to it.

Great Praise song. in my humble opinion I think the vocals are too forward. I would like to hear more reverb on the intro and more of the rhythm section. A little more ummmphhh 🙂 The bass could work a little harder. 🙂 With the bass raised and more kick... it would make you want to dance. Well done.

Very nice... Instruments are spaced well. You did well my friend. Loved the cello.

Very nice... I listened on Spotify. Which samples are you using for the ethereal vocals? Very nice composition.

I liked this. You captured the feeling of floating on a river... then it got a little rough 🙂 Maybe the drums could feel a little bigger and a little wetter?? But that is just my take... still believe its a nice piece.

Very cinematic sound... to me sounds good on my Focal Trios. To be real honest it is not my type of mind set as I couldn't put myself in imagining such scenarios and music takes me places I would like to go so to speak. 🙂 But hey, everyone to their own and I wish you all luck with your project that is well put together. All the best, Gary

@Douglas Kirby Thanks for taking the time to listen. I wasn't working on the mix... as its just from band practise. I will record it properly soon.

I thought this was a clever song especially with the chords.

Another song I wrote taken from band practise.Warts and all. I like showing how songs progress... keeping a record from the practise. Value comments as they are all helpful. SATAN BLUES 1 In the city dark and grey The devils spins his web and he catches his prey He will take anyone, anyone he can find Once he’s got a hold of them take over their mind Cause He’s a crafty old man son mean in side You never no next where he’s going to hide 2 Take the young girl with nowhere to go She’s takin a walk down London’s Soho The next minute the next thing ya know She’s taking lead part in a peep show For fifty quid she'll give ya doos.. While she suffers from those Satan Blues REF: Switch of the lights Switch of the city lights Turn on the light turn on the Spiritual Light Switch of the lights Switch of the city lights Turn on your light. 3 Take the young man he looks so neat Always got a different girl under the sheet In the day he sits in his local pub At night he goes down to his favorite night club He’s a smooth talk knows all of the tricks Not smart enough to know that the devils providing his chicks 4 Another young man he’s caught in the trap Cause everyday he needs to go and get more smack. He’s stealing money to pay for his junk Which he buys down the street from his local punk Sense’s now going he starts to stutter. The next thing ya know he dead in the gutter REF: Switch of the lights Switch of the city lights Turn on the light turn on the Spiritual Light Switch of the lights Switch of the city lights Turn on your light. 5 What’s this got to do with me I hear you say? Well if you don’t know the Lord you’re going the same way You see I’m not talking about petty pretense Cause you can’t sit on both sides of the fence So make up your mind what you’re going to do Cause at the moment the devils he’s got hold of you end Switch of the Lights Switch of the city lights Turn on the Light turn on your Spiritual Light Turn night to day turn to the Jesus way Switch on Your light. That’s it baby you got it right!!!

Im gonna have another go with more warmth.

Had a blast trying out some new samples on this Bach project. Spelt it wrong I know... like just a minuete. 🙂

Very nice... great vocals. Love the guitar playing too. You should be proud of this.

love it!

Great song and the lady has a great voice... reminds very 1940 -1950 with the harmonies. I would love to have a go at mixing the song. Well done.

The guitarist was very nervous... so I kissed him on the cheek..... thats when you here us both laugh 🙂

@amiller I liked your arrangments. Nice guitar playing... well done.

@freddy j I liked this one. Like your guitar playing and vocals. Would to love to hear some of your songs with live musicians... I reckon you would really come a live. 🙂

Hi @Pcode Nice mix. Panning and delays are great. My personal preferance I would take the distorted guitar down a little bit in level and bring up the precussion a little more with sparkle. I dont know what you are singing about... is the vocal meant to be back in the mix?

Hi @freddy j Like your guitar playing, and your vocal is perfect for this type of song. Another talking head 🙂 Cool.

I have listened to quite a few of your songs. To be real honest its not my syle and I find it difficult to listen too.. You definatly have a style of your own that I cant really say I can find a parralel.
