David, this sounds a little familiar but I can't put my finger on it.
Nice tune tho I think you could speed up the tempo a little bit. Nice to see some Portland pics in the video.
-Bjorn

Traditional blues is the best. I really liked your guitar solo around 1:30 in fact I could listen to that all day and never tire of it. Great job Freddy.
-Bjorn

The usual excellent production and performance comment from me, Nigel.  I thought this one stood out a little more because the accompaniment bits were very well done.
-Bjorn

One of your best, Steve!

A couple notes I took while listening:

Needs a little more intro
0:38 the bgv  fits the voc really well
1:35 I thought I was hearing some static here?
2:25 bgv might be overpowering here

Really impressed with the orchestration. So nice.

The word "incident" and the Harley photo conjures up some images

I wrote this a few years ago and I thought it sounded pretty nice. I took one theme from the song and made a few edits on it and also used better sounding vst instruments. The piano accompaniment is a little rough maybe but I like the violin and bassoon parts. Work in progress.

I'm taking a nature photography trip to Australia soon but will try to check in when I can.

Lynn and freddy,  thanks for the comments.   I was going for a dark sinister tone which seems to have come across.

-Bjorn

Thanks tom.  Appreciate the lesson and comment

Hi Nigel.  I thought I had most of Klaus Schulze's music but he's done so much I've probably missed quite a few.

Thanks Mark   Appreciate it

Thanks Kevin  for listening and commenting

Definite dirge vibe.
Great song title.
I think the tempo is too slow but it may be appropriate for a memorial.
Sorry for your loss.
-Bjorn

Nigel, Effective use of monochrome and color and a great soundtrack makes for a great video. And  I can certainly relate to the story. Well done!
-Bjorn

I've heard this song a million times and never knew it was a Dylan song.
Mix sounds really good but mostly I'm blown away by the performance. Wow, great job.
-Bjorn

Minimalist but a lot there. I downloaded the album so I can listen to the rest later. Thanks.

Stratos 1977
I spent some time with the new Cherry Elka-X vst synth, trying out the presets and tweaking the knobs. Pretty soon I was getting a Klaus Schulze kind of a sound which I used in this song. It's spacey electronic music featuring filter frequency and resonance tweaking along with the filter ADSR envelope tweaks. It takes a lot of time to hit the right combination of settings to get that Schulze sound.

Not totally happy with this one but here's what I came up with. It's more of a backing track. Gonna add some keys on top if I can think of how to do that.

As always don't listen while driving or operating heavy machinery.

Really like the spacy sounds at the beginning

Nice backing bass track and the guitar sounds really good playing over it. Might be a bit repetitive though?
-Bjorn

I listened and incurred only minor injuries.
Very effective delay on the voc.
I didn't realize what the song was about until I read the lyrics near the end. Wow, well done!
-Bjorn

Have to say I didn't understand the point of the vid, but that's okay. It's very well done and the music is very good.
-Bjorn

I think this is the best song I've heard from you, Larry. Minimal but packs in a lot of visuals for me. Love the guitar riff and tempo change ~ 0:40 with other instruments coming in. Well done.
-Bjorn

I really like this one, John. The bass line plays off the melody and ties things together nicely. Well done.
I stumbled on the word "err."   "Mistake" seems like a better word to use there.  Also, the song sounds pretty upbeat for a somber subject so maybe a little minor key here and there would work?

Well, just a couple of suggestions from my own unique take on the world.

C, Eb, and G walk into a bar. The bartender says, "Sorry, we don't serve minors."

Ba da boom.

I really like the melody Wookie.
Dogs are the best people I know.
Sorry for your loss.

Great to hear your voice again Lynn!  Love the song, the performance and production of it. Sounds really good.
-Bjorn

Beautiful! Always look forward to hearing your latest.
-Bjorn

Trippy indeed. Takes me away to some disturbing places.
-Bjorn

Sounds good Jack.
