Johnbee58 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Newest one. Maybe last for awhile. Don't ask what the lyrics mean. Something vague from deep inside my warped brain, or maybe it was my deep rooted fascination with pomegranates. ? https://johnbowen.bandcamp.com/track/those-old-feelings Love & peace ❤️ ?John B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daryl1968 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 hey John - I really like this especially the 'Welcome to my world section' - really accomplished song writing. The strings are fabulous 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark skinner Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 This one so far is the best I've heard from you. I really liked the breakdown at the solo piano part. I don't know why , but I always think of David Crosby when listening to you.. mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeringAmps Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I've commented before about a bit of darkness in your lyrics, hope you're getting through it."Maybe last for awhile", don't like the sound of that, hope all is well.

Douglas Kirby Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 This is a really cool, well written song. The lyrics were first rate, and I enjoyed the listen overall. Somebody mentioned you sounding like David Crosby - as I've told you before, I think more of Fogelberg when I listen to your vocal. Nicely done and thanks for posting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnbee58 Posted November 15, 2019 Author Share Posted November 15, 2019 @daryl1968Thanks so much! Don't know what happened with the post above where I entered your name link. It froze up and wouldn't let me add any more text. It's not letting me edit it either. I appreciate your feedback. @mark skinnerThank you very much, Sir. David Crosby isn't such a bad musician to be compared to.? ?JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhonoBrainer Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Your unpredictable senes of chord choices are pretty fantastic. I liked the doubled vocals in the middle there. For me the intro was a bit long, even though your flute and flute harmony thing was very well conceived indeed. Mix-wise, very distinct mix, particularly those strings! I can tell you crafted this mix with care. But wait . . . there's more! Cool trippyness breakdown section. That's a catchy section for sure. Good choice, ending on a sustained, fading bass note. cheers, -Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Thanks Tom. May be but, then again, may not be the last one for a while. I just sometimes feel as if I need a break from it for a short time. I've felt that way many times but the breaks were always short lived. ?JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So is the outro. It seems to be a song that doesn't want to start, and then doesn't want to finish. I keep re-making the outro. Guess it's an "art thing". I spent 4 hours yesterday expanding the outro with more strings, but then after listening I thought "that's really a bit too long", but at the same time I wanted the last 4 notes of the strings to heard, so I finally settled for a long fade out. I just put that mix up, if you care to revisit it. ?JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Sprouse Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Nice chord progression, haven't heard that before. The words are very au courant viz me as I spend a lot of sleepless nights lately. The way the song builds in its orchestration is very professional; I'll bet I could learn alot about songwriting from you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookiee Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 I like this, it is well written and the arrangement and production are also well executed. We all have dark moments, sleep escapes us all sometimes, as to where the music comes from who knows. Thanks for sharing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy j Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I certainly echo the positive comments above. I think that is my favourite from you so far. This is a song well done! The lyrics and music certainly express strong, introspective emotions. No crit's from me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dream I'm back at the old "salt mines" even though I retired from the place more than 4 years ago (but that wouldn't inspire a song ?).
