Very interesting song. I like it. Emotional and has an energy that kind of bursts out. I still couldn't hear the words very well early on but I have old man ears. Thanks for sharing that piece it must be a little freaky to expose your feelings like that to us. You have effected me and I thank you.

Yo man, first of all, i am sorry for the loss of your dad, and you should be proud of yourself to bring such an emotional track out to a community and opening your heart, and im quite sure your dad would be very proud and looks with pride down on you man! I cannot argue with the lyrics, they come from your heart, you did what you felt was best, and I can feel that. You are doing your father proud man, respect! I hope you keep your head up even in the difficult times and that you can look back at the amazing times you had with your dad. Peace audiotism

A very nice and sensitive song. Love the melody, the beat and also the voice. Music and soul, music for emotions.

Respect and greetings from Switzerland!

I feel the emotion from the chords, but I can't hear the vocals. They are drowned out by the music. Could be my ears. Actually, at 1:37 the vocals came in alot clearer, but it is an overall emotional track. I like the voices in the bridge. NICE! I was not expecting the drums to change like that. lol. Still emotional though.

Description : I wanted to produce something as close to conventional trap as I could, while still keeping the Mindway sound. The verses and bridge are as close to rapping as I will probably ever get, and using 808s is kinda growing on me. Maybe could be better, but I am liking where it is.

Description : This is a complete redo of a Jazz track I wrote a while ago and uploaded earlier this year. I attempted to remaster the original, and it bit me. So I bit back and here's the result. Jazz with a Latin flair. For those interested, I mastered this using the HUM JAAL mastering limiter. I'm loving that BEAST! Take a listen and share your thoughts Enjoy!

Description : What up LM family, next up is a track we put together last week, and one of my current favs. I got the stems from Nea Mera's remix of 'Make Em Feel This' and made some dope samples that really accent this track. He said it's hard for him to hear everything that I did with his stems, but I also know that LM is full of audiophiles who will pick out everything in a heartbeat. So Remember, this was your suggestion, Nea Mera LOL. I remembered to list the personel this

Description : "Tears of the Moon" is just a melody practice of mine, so that's why it sounds a little sloppy, as always Don't forget to share your thoughts and ideas with me. They help me a lot with improving myself. Special thanks for KayOs2.
