which version should I listen to?

This version sounds richer if I remember the first version correctly. Yes Kudos.

Nice rhythm and groove. Everything compliments each other. Solid backing vocals and guitar. Bass catchy. I really like it, its fun and sounds good, enjoyed it

Cool track Treesha.  It sounds pretty "punk" to me. On occasion I would visit a dive bar in Huntsville with live punk bands. When a song like this started they would all flood the dance floor and start slamming. You captured the same energy!       Enjoyed it ..   mark

Hi mark, Thanks for listening and your feedback. And the memories... yes punk, this song is about the only one or one of a few Ive ever written with this kind of energy. I meant it that way and glad it came thru that way. Glad to know you enjoyed it even in its angsti-ness, and it brought back memories of those crazy unique times. Cool. Treesha

I enjoyed this one too, treesha! 

Hi timboalogo, thanks for listening and letting me know you enjoyed this one too, appreciate it!

Sounds good, clean mix. Enjoying the horns a lot. Nice choice of instruments. Nice mood. The lead vocal is a little off now and then, but sounds good otherwise. Mission accomplished!

I like your new wave style or whatever it should be called. Understand the vocal effect, I think, and it's nicely balanced by the natural sounding background choir.  Original and interesting.

Hi equality, I have no idea what is should be called either ha. I just picked rock. Thanks for listening and your feedback. Glad to know you think its original and interesting. As for the vocals, the lead is supposed to sound distorted and frustrated, and I liked the way the backing vocals sound in contrast and I did want that kind of contrast between the two. Thanks again, Treesha

bring up the voice.nicely done.jack c

Hi jack, thanks for listening and your feedback. I think your suggestion is good and I will bring up the voice when I revisit the mix. Thanks again

Sounds good, pretty busy but you have it mixed well and its clear. I like the sounds you combined. Very good for a “ try”.  There's always more to learn and experiment with. Have all the fun you can!

The vocals seem a little low? Looks like you had fun with this. Interesting to watch your couple. Has a good beat and a good vibe. Colorful, moves well

I like the wavy feeling. I like the changes in intensity. I like the message. I like the guitar and singing. I guess whats not to like !  Very nice enjoyable work

This is an old song from an old poem that I recently revisited. Probably the most I am very frustrated song I ever did. I used the old original lyrics recording melodyned to correct stuff, with some extra fx, and redid the rest of the parts. I used Ample SC, New Nation Blaque guitar, and Iron 2 for the rhythm guitar. I used Kontakt Abbey Road 60s Drums. A SampleTank 4 bass.  I ai’d the art with a Microsoft thing. It looks like the area of Arizona I live near and love so I went with it.  Hope I get some interesting feedback! Thanks,  Treesha

Here are the lyrics -

They Lied

Crucified, they lied
No angel moves the boulder
No resurrection no new direction

Eclipse, the shadow doesn’t pass
Darkness fills the weathered face
No restoration no celebration

Trapped
Imprisoned ball and chain
Survive on bread and water
No thing obeys my orders

Powerless
Attempts are all in vain
Defeated unsuccessful
No acquisition no winning mission

Wonder why wonder why
Wonder why I wonder why
Answers just become another
Thing I do not have

Why try why try
I wonder why I wonder why
Solutions just become another
Thing I cannot do

etc......

Nice and clean. Rich sounds. Well mixed. Very well done all around. Great work.

Well put together with an informal feeling. Nice playing. Miracles are good. Very nice.

I like the guitar work a lot. For me the vocals are a little low to understand for most of it. I think the remix is better. I like the odd things that come in. Interesting parts and different as you say. Good use of fx for atmospheres. Sounds sciency. I know about the seven sisters, maybe 2 of them fled?

Up fun song. Lots of story telling in there. Sounds great. It is a great time of year to go out and see lights in some places. Nice that you found the studio tapes.

I listened to the full version. It sounds good, lots of good playing and instrumentation. Good mix. Since the message is important, the vocals could come up just a bit more. Yes, so much trouble in the world.

Very lovely song, Romantic and sweet. Good vocals and piano. Mix is good. Nice washes. As Jim Fogle said, swoon worthy ha.

Well the OB-X is breathing in my monitors, definitely intense, should I be worried?  payback for my vertigogo video disorientation?  I like the moody mood of this and the mix of high and low elements and the tempo changes. Clean. Nice chord choices too

Nice piece. I like all the rhythms of the drums and other parts, how they work together. Sounds like the Raven is still trying to fly and getting too tired so resting here and there. Would be interesting to see how it is if you do add bass parts, I like what you have in the song but more bass is always appealing to me.

Congrats on the album completion and release, better late than even later ! Wishing you much success with it. Sounds great. Everything well done as you do.  I played it loud and did enjoy it. Yes alive and free and helping oneself is a pretty good place to be.

Hi Nigel,

thanks for checking it out and your comment. I appreciate the positive feedback and glad you enjoyed it !  Treesha

Nice, makes me wonder how many of those toys are active during the song since I know nothing about your style of working. I do agree with pwallie about the low end. I guess I was coming to listen with the idea of dub as in the reggae dub sense of the word. So not that. But yeah some real heavy lows in your style would add to the range of the song. Big fan of lows here. Good luck with the new studio !

Really good mix. Overall sounds great, complex and rich sounds. I like the changes that come along. Sounds a bit ancient at times, medieval at times, modern at times.  Does have a mysterious quality too. Enjoyed it !
