Little White Pill I got the idea for the lyrics from a song by Gillian Welch called "My Morphine" I've always liked the song for its melody and for the not your usual love song subject. https://gillianwelch.bandcamp.com/track/my-morphine For my song I wanted to use the melody from Blueberry Hill but I couldn't hit the higher notes so the song evolved into something else. I haven't done a vocal in a while for obvious reasons. I used a lot of Melodyne which helped get me on pitch but it introduced some artifacts which I gave up on trying to fix. So the vocal isn't too good but it doesn't much matter. It was fun to do. Thanks for listening/comments.

Very very nice. Liked it a lot. -Bjorn

Promising start. Keep it up. -Bjorn

Sounds good and sounds like you had a great time making the music. -Bjorn

Very smooth and laid back. Great mix too. Everything is well placed and easy to pick out. -Bjorn

Jack, Wookie, Steve - thank you!

Today is Yesterday's Tomorrow Just an energetic electronic noodling kind of song with some movie dialog bits thrown in. Thanks for listening/commenting.

Best cover of Crying I've heard, not only hitting those high notes but also expressing the emotions behind them. -Bjorn

Wow, I think I like your version better than the original. Simply wonderful work, Ross. -Bjorn

Never on Sunday. Beautiful song!

I was in a band called Missing Cat. Maybe you saw our posters? Ok maybe not a pun...

Lot going on in this song and you handled it like a pro. Excellent -Bjorn

Nice use (and control) of delay fx and I like how the piano fits in so well with the backing track. I really enjoyed this one. -Bjorn

Mar, remarkable how close this sounds to a CSN song. No crits from me, just wanted to chime in and say how much I liked this. Love the guitar! -Bjorn

Impressive array of synths and they're all synced up well. Just my opinion: The thumping drum is too dominant and repetitive but maybe that's the "house" genre signature (IDK. I don't keep up) There were some moments without the drum and right there I heard a nice background for playing improvisational keyboard stuff. Like I said, just my opinion and taste in music. -Bjorn

Thanks for the comments and suggestions. Well I don't know why I put in the dialog stuff except it seemed like a good idea at the time. Gonna take it out. -Bjorn

Sounds really good. Was the vocal track pretty clean after the extraction? Going beyond the techy stuff I thought the song itself was very good. Nice job. -Bjorn

I really like the backing track. Simple but effective and plays off the vocal well. -Bjorn

Very energetic and imaginative. Really liked it. -Bjorn

Best song I've heard from you Makke. Love how you bring out the emotions on every note. -Bjorn

Very cinematic track. Would work very well as soundtrack to a nature program. The ending could be resolved a bit better but very nice overall. -Bjorn

Hi Jeff, I'm impressed you were able to write a song while traveling and it sounds pretty good too. Very nice. -Bjorn

I haven't been all that motivated lately - Health issues in the family. I do appreciate the comment, Steve. Thanks

Steve - thanks for the comment. I do appreciate it Jack and Old Joad- thank you equality - thanks. It always surprises me how listeners have different takes on songs (and everything else in life) Noynekker - I've added bits of old movie dialog to my songs before - sometimes they work and other times not so much. No reason for the good manners subject . Just seemed like it might work.

A Night in July Just a dreamy track about a warm night in July, sitting in the backyard viewing the Milky Way and wishing it could be like this all the time. Thanks for listening/commenting. -Bjorn
