I like the song. If I was going to add something, I would add a bit more of a walking bass line. Something to accent the drumline. Otherwise nice song and I love your voice.

This is a very simple sound that I was playing with. I had a traumatic hand injury two years ago so I am in the process of trying to play guitar again. I am fiddling around trying to strengthen my hand and build up the calluses and came up with this little tune. Not too complicated, kind of spiritual. I call it my "Hand Awakening". (note on small speakers it might rattle them a bit)

Very nice tune.

PhonoBrainer, thanks for listening I appreciate the comments on my voice. I have never been happy with it so like I said, I have always just created instrumentals. I might reconsider and try a bit more vocals. I really wasn't trying for any specific era or vibe, just came up with a sound and pattern that I liked and expanded on it. Thanks again.

Thanks Kevin for listening and thanks for your comments. I never sang much, most of my songs are instrumentals. Take care.

I really like this one. You have a nice, soothing voice.

I have revised the voice mix adding a voice doubler and echo. My concern with the original, which is in the first post was my voice didn't seem to blend. I think this works better, but I may be wrong. Thanks for listening.

Thanks for listening Deering amps. Keith Wilby, the bassy is my fault, I kept rolling highs out because it stood out even worse on the mix. I did have a version of more aggresive voice, I might play with that some. I have a hard time making it fit in the mix. I feel I am pretty good mixing instruments, but have not done much with voice.

Jack, thanks for listening and your input. The pulsing bass is the free Impulse Synthesizer by Bojo Software with the Atmosphere setting. The pulsing is created by the Blue Arp Arpeggiator using the Simple 4K down 4 bars setting with a few adjustments.

I posted this song as an instrumental a while back while I tried to figure out some words and a tune. I am not a good singer, but I am putting it out there. Comments are welcome, but I know the limitations of my voice. PLEASE LISTEN TO REVISED MIX DOWN LATER ON THIS POSTING>

Jesse Screed, Bajan Blue, Freddy j and Ruralrocker 2010 and others. Thanks again for listening and for your kind words.

I hope the music helps heal. As one who has written a few of these as well, I understand. Hang in there.

Very nice sound.

Love the texture. Nice job.

Thank you for your kind comments. Music is my outlet for emotions both good and bad. Thanks for listening.

I recorded this right after my wife passed away, so it is another dirge. Some (or maybe all) will be thrown off because the rhythm is off, but that is representative of how my life felt after she left. The song represents stages of her disease, dementia, from my point of view. Discovery, doctors, mild hope, anticipation, realization, and finally that when you die, you die alone.

Thanks again for the additional responses. Now I am more encouraged to finish it. I will hopefully post a finished song soon. I really appreciate you all taking the time to listen.

Bajan Blue and Dream Art Scientists, thanks for your positive and encouraging words. I just have to clear my head and come up with a tune that works better and lyrics that fit the mood. It will happen, but it may be a while. Thanks for listening.

I like the sound. My only suggestion would be to back off the reverb on the voice just a bit. Not a big quibble though.

I posted this song yesterday but took it done. I had used my voice to sing the tune and lyrics, but it just didn't work. I like the groove of the song, but just can't find a tune that fits. After the intro, there is a 4 bar interlude before the singing would start. I think it is fun, just wish I could write words or tunes. Enjoy and feedback is appreciated.

I would drop out some of the these instruments during the vocal part, they would have more impact then when they come back. Drums seem a bit wrong for rap. Too rock style. Need more definition, not exactly sure how to describe it.

I like the sound and song, but the string squeak gets in the way a bit.

I really like your voice in this and other songs I have listened. Nice mix and harmonies.

Nice mood piece. Thanks
