The guitar amp is a Kemper.

Thanks for taking the time to listen and comment. This was out of my wheelhouse but I enjoyed putting it together.

One of the coolest songs I’ve heard in a while. Thanks for sharing!??

So, I was going to name this song “White Boy Latin” because it has a Latin element to it but, as a “white boy,” I know next to nothing about Latin music except I love Santana. My bass player wanted to name it “Gringo.” Both names we’re meant in fun. My apologies if anyone’s sensitivities were bruised. Anyway, I decided to be more respectful and name it “Belladonna” which, it turns out, has Latin origins. Borrowed from Italian belladonna (bella donna, literally “beautiful lady”), altered by folk etymology from Medieval Latin blādōna(“nightshade”), from Gaulish *blātōnā, blātunā, from Proto-Celtic *blātus (“flower”), from Proto-Indo-European *bʰléh₃tus, from *bʰleh₃-(“blossom, flower”). Noun: Deadly nightshade. A drug prepared from the leaves and root of deadly nightshade, containing atropine. Without further ado...Belladonna;

This. Good job.

Wow! I liked everything about this song. Great job!????

I like the bittersweet lyrics.

Wow, this exactly as I heard it. I think these are thoughtful constructive critiques. I like the song.

Excellent!

Thanks for the feedback Andy. I appreciate you taking the time to listen. Thanks the kind words as well.?

Yeah, I like this.

Absolutely beautiful! ‘Sorry for your lose. Over these many years I’ve lost several “pets.” To me, they were family members and it is always hurt. Your song captures the emotion of losing a loved one. Thanks for posting.?

Thanks for listening and commenting. Tone and a melody that speaks to me are my primary focus when creating or listening to music. It’s good to hear a positive comment in those regards.?

I really like this...lots of layers coming and going.

This is really a good song. I think I’m hearing pitch correction on the vocals. If so, maybe back it off a bit.?

I enjoyed the song...good job.

I really like this song. It grabbed me and kept through till the end. The only criticism I have is that the drums could stand a bit more variation.

I enjoyed that. Lots of energy and contrast...FUN! ??

Kenny, I really appreciate your kind words. Yes indeed, we ALL have our own crosses to bear. Thanks for taking the time to listen and comment. These days, I concentrate on the melody and feeling of everything thing I write and play. To me, those are the most important elements of my work. It feels good to get positive feedback specific to those parts.?

Nicely done!

This song put me in mind of one of my favorite Vai songs:

Hey, you’ve got a good one here. I love the underlying rhythm guitar part.?

Cool tune. I especially like the melody coming in just before the 200 mark.?

Nicely done.??

Actually has a nice relaxing vibe. Kind of sci-fi too. Good job.
