Just to prove that not everything we all do is in 4/4.  The title is a line in a song my son learned in his online music class and which he made me sing with him every car journey for several months last year...it's just taken me that long to recover and actually write and record it 🙂

Now with a YT video:

Spacious. Love the guitar. During the main part, it overpowers some of the other elements. Enjoyed the video too. Nice piece

I get the 3/4 waltz just wonder if a slightly different 3/4 drum groove would work better, just my two Triganic Pu.

Watched the Video in glorious 43" 4k, nice mix, apart from you drum groove, apologies for being a sour Wookiee.

I agree about the drum part.  I was finding it hard to find a good 3/4 pattern in my usual arsenal and my drum programming skills are...rusty to say the least.

Just like not everything is 4/4 not everything needs drums 😉

True!  When I get round to compiling the album it's on, I'll probably revisit the drums and see if I can improve at least in part.

I redid the drums in the end and tweaking a few other parts when I created the album/EP on Bandlab:

Thanks for the constructive criticism all.

I listened to both version and I think the 2nd drum track is a lot better.
I like how the synth kicks in at :20 and remains in the background almost throughout.
Guitar fits in well but level could be bit lower IMO. I enjoyed the spacy video. Great job.

Hi

Guitar sounds great if a little too loud in places - second drums sound better

Cool

Thanks all - I will look at undercooking the guitar a bit!
