Jack I like the lyrics. Some of the parts are too long and repetitive Your voice has a David Byrne quality which kind of fits your quirky style (and I mean that in a good way, seriously). -Bjorn

Epic and cinematic. Sounds promising to me. Around 0:44 I started hearing a thumping sound. Not sure if that's supposed to be in there? -Bjorn

Outstanding work. One of the best non-professional (I'm assuming) videos I've seen. Excellent all around. Just a couple of quibbly crits. The space suit guy dance took me out of it and some of the mirror fx were bit too much. Just my opinion and doesn't take anything away. Love the video. -Bjorn

Freddy, I love the chorus. Beautiful. Some of the delay effects seem off but I thought they worked anyway. You should get together with Jimmy Buffet and do a duet. I can only imagine what it's like tracking hurricanes when they're in your own neighborhood!

I don't think I've heard that Monkees song before. Sounds really good so thumbs up. I do remember your Troop and Camo video listed on the same page. Had to watch that one again. -Bjorn

Celestial A 5 minute video of NASA images set to music. Thanks for listening/commenting.

Doug, can you come over and show me how to play the guitar? Thanks. Another well produced and arranged song. Very professional. I enjoyed listening to it. -Bjorn

You took it down? Well darn I missed it. It's a familiar situation. Write a nice little phrase and immediately wonder if it's been done before. I tried one of those song identification apps (Shazam I think it's called) which was worthless. I just go with it and hope for the best. -Bjorn

Steve, I do a lot of bird photography but I've never had them set up a nest so conveniently close like your robin. Our backyard security camera gets some interesting images now and then like overturned bird baths and big holes in the yard. Raccoons. It's always the raccoons. I really enjoyed your take on the song. And that last bit where the robin knocked over the camera is hilarious. -Bjorn

I like the whirly synth bits at the beginning. Toe-tapping head-nodding groove makes me happy. Well done! -Bjorn

Makke Yeah, kind of a Credence feel to it. Nice uplifting tune and well performed. -Bjorn

Wow, wonderful lyrics! You had me waiting impatiently for the next verse to come along. Excellent all around. My only crit is that the ending seemed cut off a bit too soon. -Bjorn

Barry Love the concept! The blues is one of my favorite genres but I've never lived the life. I agree with tom (Deering Amps) about filtering out some of the mud (IMO) using the technique he showed. -Bjorn

noynekker I like the patriotic drama of the song. Would have fit in nicely with the fireworks! -Bjorn

David Great song. Who's the singer? I've taken a lot of pictures and videos of bald eagles. That pipsqueak call of theirs always amuses me. -Bjorn

John B I always like your arrangements and chord choices. The piano is really good in this. It just moves the story along so nicely. -Bjorn

Mark I like how you put the loops and 808 stuff together. Really nice groove just waiting for your upcoming vocals. Speaking of Bowie, I keep thinking of Major Tom floating around Mars. -Bjorn

David - Thanks so much. Yeah, eastern Oregon would like to be western Idaho. Lynn - you just have to get in the right frame of mind. Old Joad - Thanks! And the mushrooms are a nice touch.

Steve, one of my top 5 fav Beatles songs. Excellent sound alike cover. Must have taken a lot of searching and tweaking to get the sounds right. I've never seen that series of photos for the famous album cover. Very cool. -Bjorn

Nigel, seems like you have something new every week which is hard to do while maintaining your always high quality productions. Excellent work. -Bjorn

Paul, you did well removing sibilance in this version (I think that's what people had commented on before) I like how clear the vocal is - no problem understanding the lyrics. And the lyrics tell the story very well. Not sure why the outro was repeated so often (the church bit) I really enjoyed listening to this. -Bjorn

The sparseness of the song fits the lyrics perfectly. I expected the vocal to come in earlier so maybe the intro is too long. -Bjorn

Doug, I think you should make a video of you singing and playing the guitar. I really liked this phrase (at 0:51 - 1:07 and at 2:13 - 2:30) I thought it should be the main theme that the rest of the song returns to. Not asking for much. ? -Bjorn

Jesse, Yeah, the bass could use some volume adjustment to make it more even (exactly how a real sound engineer would put it). Seemed like the bass player was maybe unsure of herself. -Bjorn

Nigel - the Micro Q filter is the best esp for drone-y sweeps. I was thinking of buying a used one on eBay, but I just saw a deal in the Deals forum for Waldorf Nave and yeah I haven't hear of that one either but I bought it. It's sort of reminiscent of Micro Q. Jesse - thanks for mentioning Hearts of Space. I haven't been there in a while. I'm seriously thinking of submitting something to them. Wookie - Thanks for listening. Appreciate it Jack C - Thanks for listening. Appreciate it.
