Really nice Rex. Sometimes less is more and your song proves it here.
The audio seems a little out of sync but could just be my internet.

And it's not even Halloween yet!
Larry, I wasn't sure where you were going with this until I noticed the "alternative" instrumental description.
I like the mood exploration of the guitar, well that's how it hit me.  Nice one.

Hey John . . . went to listen, got a "page not found" ?

Ditto.

That opening banjo hooked me right away. Really like the laid back vocal style. The instruments all fit together so well too.
Great job!
-Bjorn

In addition to the wonderful video production and song writing, have to also comment on the lyrics... Wow. Makes you stop and think.
Nigel, how do you get your videos?  They seem to be tailor made for your music and not clips you'd find on stock video sites. Do you do them yourself?

Galaxy HD 1

Galaxy HD 1 is one of the most distant known galaxies, about 33.3 billion light years away.

This project didn't come out space music enough and I was going to start over but decided to insert some
audio clips to make things more interesting.  The clips are bits of dialog from the movie 2001,  HAL 9000 vs Dave
the astronaut.

Thanks for listening/comments.

Jack, your songs have really nice backing tracks but the vocals always sound a bit similar. I don't mean the lyrics but the tone and vocal treatment and cadence just seem the same in every song.   So a bit more variety?   

Well, just my 2 cents trying to be helpful.
-Bjorn

Wow,  great guitar work and super awesome drums.
I like the almost Chinese string instrument (erhu?) in there too.
Great job! Enjoyed it a lot.
-Bjorn

Thanks JohnB    I appreciate the input and I totally understand.
LarryT    Yeah, I tried to keep it simple, musically at least. Thanks for the input.

**edit**

I decided to pull this one after viewing it a few days later. Somehow projects can turn into crap overnight.  Also,  the lyrics may have stepped over a line.

Although not at all what I usually listen to, still I love your music. Your voice has kind of a Charlie Pride sound to it which takes me back to the days when my family took cross country trips and all you'd hear on the radio was good old country music. Not sure how receptive an audience would be today but their loss.

The ooohs and aaahs work very well. Nicely done there.
I like the harmonica but I thought it was hanging back a bit? No matter though. I always look forward to hearing your next song.
-Bjorn

Very cool!  Really like the tricky intersecting rhythms which become hypnotic after a while.  The intro could maybe be shortened some more and the main synth part extended. Or not.
I envisioned this as  opening credits soundtrack in a movie where the kind of abrupt ending takes you right into the story.
-Bjorn

Like a cool breeze on a balmy summer evening. Such a beautiful voice.
-Bjorn

High energy is right. What makes it even better is knowing the performer is getting into it as well. Nice job!
-Bjorn

Quite the toe tapper Freddy.  Love it!
-Bjorn

Hints of the Pink Panther theme. Nicely done!
-Bjorn

I keep hearing  I am the Walrus.
Really like the  drums, always there and dependable, keeping proceedings on track.
Nice one Jesse.
-Bjorn

Love it.
You have that one line: The suns gonna rise, the world keeps moving on
Very catchy, so it seems to me it should be emphasized more, like a chorus. Or put it in again at the end of the song.
Well just a suggestion. Always enjoy your songs.
-Bjorn

Definitely prefer the 2nd version although the faster tempo of the first one lent itself well to depicting a storm.

I like the main theme (very nice!) that comes in right at the beginning and then you return to it a couple of times. I was thinking it could work well if you had a calmer "after the storm" part featuring that theme. Anyway, impressive playing. Really enjoyed it.

Beethoven approves.  🙂

-Bjorn

Hi John, I don't think I'll ever warm up to the genre you do but I certainly respect the musicianship and esp your lyric writing ability.  

Love that flute!
-Bjorn

Steve

Love the stories you weave in that wistful nostalgic style you do. Really nice accompaniment going on in the background which adds so much to the vocal.  Is that you in the photo?
-Bjorn

Hey Daryl

Sitting here in Starbucks and I"m being transported to a very pleasant place listening to that heavenly choir.
Just beautiful.

Very nice job getting all those photos out of the album and into a video.  I like the references to the technology back then. Weird how VCRs and DVD players were so high tech and now they're becoming ancient history in our life time.
One crit: maybe too much zooming in the video?
-Bjorn

Ross,

I'm loving the theme introduced earlier but it really shines beginning ~4:00.  A bit simpler orchestration here maybe and with a great sounding flute.
So now I've listened to this a few times and gotta say this has huge potential. Keep working on it and submit it wherever you can.
-Bjorn

Toe tapping music and the video made me smile.  Really nice work on this.
Boy, I thought I had a lot of plugins...
