this one is amazing. it could be one of the best samples ive ever heard in a track that vocal loop you used with the many different people talking about the war in iraq. very inspirational loved it!

very nice work here dude...the song kind of sounds to me a bit like Dream Theater's Sacrificed Sons, specially because of the speech on top of the music, and it's got a bit of a prog feel to it. Very nice editing work fellow! i never noticed a single chop or wrong sounding transition! congratulations

This is a soothing, laid back beat that captures your soul after the first few moments. It really fit the chosen vocalization. Good work!

Description : Shorten My Days is a deeply personal prayer about examining the true intentions behind our relationship with God. It wrestles with the uncomfortable question of whether we seek Him because we genuinely love Him, or because of what we want from Him and the world around us. It is a plea for God to strip away selfish motives, sustain us through life's battles, and teach us to live in a way that brings glory to His name.
Guitar: Nameless.

Description : 'Main Barbaad Ho Gaya' means 'I got destroyed in loving you'. I had created this track last year. The vocals are AI. However the music and the tune is mine. Hope you enjoy this tragic love track. I was inspired by the Bollywood movie 'Saiyaara' when creating this track.

This started as a bandlab beat called Gridlock. Just mentioning in case someone wants to go get a clean version of the main backing track.
