I think I may have already said this to you, but I really like the "live feeling" on your songs.
It really sounds like a real band is playing.
Good!
I think the song has still some "rough" edges (a couple of notes here and there) but this is good stuff!

You have Domenico, and I appreciate the kind words and the support. You are right abpout the need to go in and clean up some spots. I will be on vacay next week and will have the time to go in and do some retakes in certain areas to clean up things. Also want to get better tone on the lead guitar. It needs to shimmer a little.

Thanks for taking the time to listen and leave a comment. It's appreciated.

The lead guitar playing on this has a kind of David Gilmour feeling. Great song overall. I like this.

Very kind words bro, it's appreciated. Gilmour is one of my idols and an inspiration to me. Glad I could do a good enough job with the leads to draw even the slightest comparison. Thanks for taking the time to give this a listen and leave a review.

Ha, I wasn't expecting to hear a rock ballad when I read the title, but it works. To me, it just feels like a song about frustration, with women. And I dig that.

Lol, yeah about half the time I name my songs whatever is on my mind. The other half they have something to do with the song itself. This one definitely not. Been in the mood to do a ballad for a while now. Always nice to slow it down and go with a less is more approach to the leads. More opportunity to stress tone and feeling over number of notes. Thanks for the kind words of support. It really is appreciated.

Thanks bro, I must confess that those are other ways of saying dirt bags of the female kind, around where I am from. :)

I just felt like doing a ballad. Most of the stuff I do is quicker paced. I appreciate the support my friend.
Thanks again.

Very kind of you Optimistic. I appreciate the support and you taking the time to listen and leave a review. It still needs some work and it is missing something, besides vocals. :)

Thanks again.

Description : For some odd reason, the titular acapella I used for this remix had vanished from Looperman. Luckily, I saved it before it disappeared.

Anyway, props to Stephanie Kay for this acapella! I've always wanted to remix Stars Collide, but I never got around to finally making a good instrumental for it. The acapella was akin to that of Genki Rockets' work (ESPECIALLY the lyrics), so I tried to retain the same vibe. Enjoy!

Description : This is a worship song celebrating God's beautiful creation, unfailing grace, and boundless love. It reflects on the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the gift of salvation, and the light of God that shines even in the deepest darkness. It is a reminder to rise each day with gratitude and give praise to the One who saves, guides, and sustains us.
