DeeringAmps 1,649 Posted January 9, 2020 Hey Jesse, As always I'm intrigued. Somebody wanted "structure", well there you are! Pull the vocal up a bit will ya, I'd like to catch all the lyrics. Ever a fan, Tom 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SPAK 143 Posted January 9, 2020 Chaos meets structure ... and the lion is tamed, I agree with DA in bringing the vocal up .. Good stuff mate Steve 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freddy j 585 Posted January 9, 2020 Thank you!!! The best yet!!! It has structure (verse, chorus, melody, etc.) but still has that Jesse touch and that is good, very good! I love it. Being a guitar guy I very much like your guitar work (just the right amount of dissonance) and the lead breaks were very cool indeed. Ya, the vocal might come up a bit but the lyrics that I did catch were very cool also. I particularly liked the ending. To me it summarized the chaos and confusion some of us are currently experiencing given the nature of things. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Douglas Kirby 764 Posted January 9, 2020 Really cool Jesse - I really enjoyed listening to this one. To me, it's got a bit of a new wave vibe to it - maybe because of all you have going on in the mix with the synths. Very original - kudos to you😁 My only crit - I thought the vocal should be a bit more up front in the mix - just my ears (I listened with headphones). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bjornpdx 978 Posted January 10, 2020 Jesse Lots of interesting things going on in there. Really like the guitar solo and the change up around 1:55. And the Hendrix nod at the end. You really do need to make the vocal stand out more. I know that I'm old and all, but I just couldn't catch much of the lyrics. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I think the lyrics are top notch .. seems you hate praise but I can't help myself sorry Jesse 🖖 Hey SPAK, accept my apologies if I sounded like I hate praise, I'm not that jaded. What I meant was this was the least spontaneous thing I have done in a long time. I figured everything out before I printed it. That is all, I usually just let it fly, but this was like looking through a microscope. I respect your opinion, and all the critiques of the people who take the time to listen, This is the final mix Thanks to all for the suggestions, I couldn't have done it without you.
