This should help you with your Sweet Emotion(s) . . .

at least you didn't get "accidentally" hit in the yarbles by some kid swinging on a pinata.

100% liked it. Rockin the mic with the Murder Hornet funk. cheers, -Tom

You walk into a museum somewhere in Big Sky country, and this is background for an entire exhibit as you walk around. Let me know when you get that set up, I'll come check it out! Or maybe the Monterey Bay Aquarium? super peaceful piece! cheers, -Tom

Aaaaaaaaaaaaah. Really great, loved it. cheers, -Tom

Really loved the vocal editing - that's a beautiful clear vocal you have, and the supporting vocals are very cool adds. I also kind of thought it could use a chorus, or a b-part, just to throw another flavor in there. nice one, thanks! cheers, -Tom

and the song wasn't bad, either.

I thought the video was very watchable and I wonder where was that festival of lights? Those guitars and drums are very strong and the bass sat in the mix nicely. In the beginning I thought "this is going to be satanic" but by the end I realized it seemed Christian rock. So now I'm just confused good one, thanks! cheers, -Tom

I liked the octaves bouncing in the second half of the song. Those are some great synths for sure, well arranged. cheers, -Tom

I totally got the David Byrne effect from this, very nice vocals indeed! In your dead stop cutouts, you might leave an audio sample of just an empty room being recorded. It will give a sense of real air in the room during the dropouts. A whole song's worth of lyrics - only two notes in the melody. Fun! cheers, -Tom

I haven't seen the movie or heard of this soundtrack piece before, it's pretty neat! I realize the tuning in spots is intentionally sacrificed for creepy effect - but the guitar panned left was a bit flat I think - 1:16 as an example. I really don't know if it matters, might be something to check if it's not your dissonant intention. A cool listen, thanks! cheers, -Tom

What day is it?

Yeah, included with that was some mystery $50 extra bonus in the cart. Kudos for that piece of marketing strategy!

Apologies if already posted, I'm no Larry. I just got the bias fx 2 / bias amp 2 bundle, elite version, for $197. Which I thought was kind of okay. https://www.positivegrid.com/promo/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI2_O-ppzX7wIVQQPnCh0dgQkEEAAYASAAEgKEivD_BwE Sale ends soon, as they say.

I believe Adrian has hit every single nail squarely on the head, well done! I quoted the above part because it directly described my own experience . . . once you've played "You May Be Right" by Billy Joel 12,473 times, and otherwise great song will threaten your sanity, even if you are making $300 a throw. To the OP, I'm pretty sure the answer is no, but wedding bands are the canary in that coal mine. Unless weddings and corporate parties come back, there won't be any money in music for most musicians. And, is that really music, anyway, or is it just performance? You could be the teenage kid who likes to shoot hoops, asking if there's any chance to make it into the NBA. But there, talent actually matters! In music industry, not so much. My wish for you is that you can pass quickly through the commercial desires, and return to making your personal music for its own lovely sake, for the only thing music can really feed these days is your soul. Which is enough.

or just keep the solo going?

Here's an honorable mention and alternate for P:

I'm afraid I'm having difficulty gleaning a pun out of this one. Seems more like a deeply personal revelation made public in a pun thread. So that's all good.

K is for . . . is for . . . is for . . . Damn, I wish I had the knack for this sort of thing. Sorry.

It would be a shame if this thread continued.

Best of luck, Bill, you got this. Maybe they will still let you drink water? Then Budweiser should be just fine.

Beer is about 10 proof.

In other news, the GDP of Israel, Sweden, Germany and England all report 50% drops last week.

Big smiles on this one. That chorus with your vocal delays bouncing around has got the perfect psychedelic groove to it. The time you are spending on vocal mixing and treatment is really paying off. I agree that the synth horn seems out of place but for me it was in a good way, and really, that first horn line you drop in there is a killer part, I would have liked that horn hook to be throughout the rest of the song. I would have to wonder what your parents would have made of this had they heard it? A fair can of worms, perhaps? Thank you for sharing your excellent work! -Tom
