I really tried to add a vocal to this - had some good lyrics, but it just didn't work.  Seems as if this will stay an instrumental after all.

That's a pretty wild track, great playing! I think it's interesting enough as an instrumental.

Hi Steve - great playing as KS said. I think this is perfectly good as it stands  

Cool

Hi KS - thank you - that seems to be what most people think, so the song will stay as an instrumental.

Thanks Nigel - I've been convinced to leave this as it is.

Incredibly well performed and arranged. Awesome piano solo! My left leg started moving. Very enjoyable. Perhaps an abrupt ending?

Wonderful production !

Loved the panning piano break.

 Very impressed with the bass track. 

Why confuse it with vocals .. 

I know the feeling ..   a Lot of my instrumentals started out as vocal productions ..

    Loved it as it is ..      mark

@steve@baselines.com . . . such a high energy piece !  . . . not sure a vocalist could keep up anyways, without taking away from it, so a good choice for an instrumental . . . really enjoyed the journey . . . the style reminded me a bit of Mannheim Steamroller, an amazing band from long ago . . .

Thanks for the comments Mark.  The panning keyboard was part of Z3TA, which I think was a part of Cakewalk before Bandlab.

Steve, you always have such interesting stuff on your channel. I think you did the right thing by leaving this one instrumental. Don't see how lyrics would make it better than it already is.

[SUPAREELS]

Agree with Bjorn .. as a lyrics guy I can't see any room for a scripted message .. great instrumental so tight !

Hi Bjorn thank you very much!  Yes, I tried with the lyrics but it was just too much.  I'm happy with the way it is now.
