Very nice. The vocal styling is good and I like the synthy doodles here and there. About the only thing that stood out to me was that some track levels were a bit too loud and kind of stifled the voc. Good job on this one.

I'm not only impressed by your playing but also how you structure your songs. I'm guessing you've had some formal training in music?

Rex You have such a pleasing voice that it's a treat listening to your songs. Saying that though, I thought the voc stood out too much in spots or maybe the instruments need to come up some. The lyrics are good but they got too repetitive IMO. Aside from those nits I did enjoy listening to the song.

Yay! Another convert.

This is one of those instruments you might use one time, but still it's kinda cool. Introductory offer $69 until Aug 18 then $99. Kontakt player. https://soundiron.com/collections/new-releases/products/didgeridoos

Very well done. Sounds professional to me. I see that you used Izotope Nectar and Mix Assistant which I have but haven't used yet. Sounds like it worked very well here. Gonna try it out next project. I like the guitar and organ accompaniment and the emotion behind the words. The song is kind of laid back until ~4:45 when the intensity notched up. I was expecting that a bit earlier. Just my preference. I'm a lyrics guy and pay attention to words. Excuse me for asking, but what were the lyrics ~ 0:40? "<something> much for nothing" It's so satisfying to create something and love the way it turned out like you've done here.

Well I'm a casual fan of Genesis so not familiar with this piece. I didn't get an impression of the drums so much as the keyboard playing, which is excellent. Will be great to hear the full version.

Yep, something sinister going on here. I think it works, but maybe too much going on in a couple of spots? I picked up Spitfire BBC orchestra recently and thinking about doing a project like this. Wondering if you can suggest any resources to get started? Thanks.

Not a video but seeing pictures of this rock climber gives me vertigo https://imgur.com/gallery/3dKGUm3

I really like the melody and the sincere lyrics. You're going to have to top yourself every anniversary from now on you know. 😀

For a blues song, you had me smiling throughout. You have a truly unique voice that fits the genre well. Not sure if you've posted in the songs forum before, but would be cool to hear more from you.

We'll have none of that either!

>>screw it, I'm just going to call it done << This is how I finish most of my songs. The pedal steel was a really good choice I like the upbeat lyrics which are clear and distinct in the mix. The bass seemed a bit "rumbly" in headphones and I thought the drums could use some fattening. Good job on the song. I enjoyed listening to it.

Nice one, Jesse You made me do the math. Looks like I'm in late September/early October. Yikes.

Man I love this blues style especially when played so well as you've done. I've been teaching myself some Mississippi John Hurt songs (My Creole Bell, Satisfied and Tickled Too) and struggling a bit. You've given me some inspiration!

If you're witnessing an active shooting, a major fire, explosion, train wreck or things like that, would you please rotate your phone 90 degrees for your video? The horizontal orientation looks much better on my computer monitor and TV screen. Thank you.

I took these photos about ten years ago at the Tualatin River Natl Wildlife Refuge. It shows a Bald eagle hunting a Canada goose and the inevitable result. I made a very short slide show from the images and wrote the background music. This segment was part of a 20 minute DVD I made for the Refuge visitor center store featuring several photographers' images and music I created in Cakewalk. The photos here aren't all that great because of the distance and the tall grass obscuring the scene. I've seen bald eagles snatch ducks and fish from waterways and fly off. In this video the eagle stands on the goose for a while and drowns it. Nature isn't kind nor is it cruel. It's just the way it works.

Daryl Cool song. Really like the chord changes especially in the chorus. Reminds me of pop songs from the 60s

Tom I think you should change the name of the song to Road Trip, you know like when you're traveling and you try to find something good on the radio and you hit the search button and you tune in all kinds of different genres. Well anyway cool and very fun song. I like the transitions from one genre to the next.

Freddy I had not heard about Elwin Wilson before, much less his relationship with John Lewis. That is a powerful story and I thank you for telling it.

Not a great time to post a comment after the preceding one, but here goes. 😄 This is sort of on topic I think. Over the last 40 or so years I've gotten into spurts of learning the guitar. Practice for 6 months then give up and 5 years later do the same. I've had several teachers over the years. In all that time I only knew how to play up to the 5th fret. In the last year I made this amazing discovery, like it was a secret you guitarists were keeping from the rest of us - patterns! I memorized the pentatonic scale patterns (like the CAGE stuff - and I know about the controversy learning it) and now I know my way around the guitar pretty well. I play crappily but it's good enough for my needs.

Nice job melding the sax into the song. The strings fit right in, really enhances the piano part. Very good mix but sax might be tad too loud around 3:50. Excellent collaboration!

Mark Really good. Everything works together well. Guitar sounds so good. Wonder if a slight delay fx would work? Short drop in volume ~0:50. Very pleasant to listen to a cool song with a cold drink in hand on a hot day.

Good promising start. And yeah this could easily turn into a longer electronic piece. For example, I was waiting for that nice synth in the background to take over for a while, maybe around 1:45. Nice job.
