David Sprouse Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 (edited) So I rejiggered this a little, re titled it. The symbolism is less offensive. :D:D Edited April 7, 2021 by David Sprouse 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noynekker Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 David . . . now I'm feeling left out for missing that other version ? . . . but, fortunately I like this version just fine, it feels comfortable, down home, and I really like the guitar part through this. Now, this is something different from your normal thing, didn't know you played guitar as well ? The thing I like about the guitar is that even though the chording pattern is repetitive, it changes up in feel and tempo constantly, very nice, like it's played live. I'm interested how you recorded this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noy I just got the drums going and laid down trax. It's a little amateur, but I like the melody alot. 18 hours ago, bjornpdx said: David, a very pleasant stroll in the countryside.

Andrew Rhodes Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 This is cool. It's got that something that just says "sit and listen to me"! Great sounding drums, and I like the banjo at the end - did you play that too? Sounds like a proper banjo to me (not a keyboard). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Sprouse Posted April 9, 2021 Author Share Posted April 9, 2021 (edited) Thx Andrew. The banjo is a combination of keyboard and recorded loop. Edited April 9, 2021 by David Sprouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPAREELS Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 A BLOODY MASTER AT WORK ... I won't hijack this song, but for me the heartbeat drum and ambience has a draw to me, like the smell of a freshly baked apple pie .. I'm irresistibly drawn to writing words for it .. or indeed eating a freshly baked home made apple pie ... Well done it's hard to write something simple and so lovely ?

Bajan Blue Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Hi David This is really cool - love the simplicity and sound overall Definitely a great listen Thanks for this Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark skinner Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 David , I Loved the percussion section. That was also a Superb use of a banjo. I believe a nylon strung banjo is Way under utilized. Very enjoyable .. mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy j Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 This is a lovely song David and the video complements it very well. I also loved the percussion and thought the bass lines added a lot to the flow of the song. Nice guitar work also. IMHO some times the simplicity of a song that is done well can carry the day. I think that you have matched that goal in this song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruralrocker2010 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I agree with @Paul Bush a nice ethnic motif would be kind of cool! I'm not a fan of the banjo shift. That was too sudden for my taste and jarring. But, I really like the guitar tone and the simplicity of the piece. Personally the timing was too imperfect for me, I found that distracting but that's just my preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, the timing is kind of nasty in places. They were supposed to be hemi-ola's but i didn't make up the time.

Ruralrocker2010 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 (edited) what is a hemiola? nm, a quick google search revealed the answer. Well actually, then I take it back, if it was intentional but didn't work then it's more likely that I didn't understand what was going on. I'd disregard that timing comment altogether!
