Description : Hi buddies ! This track is a wink to Mike(MStokes) whose "burn, burn, burn" words have sort of become a motto for me .
This is emo-like . I put a lot of heart and work in it . I wanted to make a hymn about the power of love and hope .

I love you babe, and love you all so much too !

I like the separate vocal tracks and how they are set in the mix. This rocks, reminds me a bit of Garbage(the band,lol). Well done putting this together. Always a pleasure!
Dunno but I do hope he's having a great time . We all need to take off sometimes, I guess .
Wow ! Another very flattering comparison which goes straight to my heart ! Next time I'll have a try on a Cradle of Filth song, lol . Thx a lot for your real nice words, Wayne ! Always a pleasure for me to read encouraging words :)
Love the bass line and lead guitar work...although I would have liked the lead guitar saved for the chorus and a more muted one in between your verses...agree the sort of honky tonk keys are a bit out of place with the overall "mood"...but most of all your vocals are just so adaptable and strong...no pun intended...great to hear you again!
Yeah, you're surely right 'bout the guitars ( thx for the piece of advice ) and the honky tonk keyboard, Sir (though I like them there) .
I'm grateful to you for your interesting and warm comment,
Merci beaucoup !
Cheers
As always...you have done a superb piece of musical art Carole....I like Michael`s "burn...burn....burn" reference...for many years I have adopted the theme from an old song by John Kay...."Feed the fire".......The world could use many more people to face each other in peace..and state the cause for love.......Ed
Hello dear Ed :))
I'm real happy to join your club, boyzz ! hehe
Yeah, u're right 'bout the world's needs, my friend . Let's make it warmer and more welcoming with our music, our hearts we put in it and always a smile !!
God bless you for these words of wiseness .
Take good care, Ed .
Many kisses
This is great stuff. My favorite part is between 1:07 - 1:15 and 3:19 - 3:27. I'm weak for expressions like that.
I Also notice your time spent on puting together variations in the arrangement which makes a huge difference in this song comparing to if they would been left out.
I think you do it well and this is an execlent song that makes me think of the group Garbage in the 90's. Anyway, great job
Hello Anders :)
Sorry to answer so late .
Aaah, I'm so glad you noticed I worked a lot (though it surely can sound better !) on thoses variations !
Wow ! Thx for the comparison, Sir ! It makes me real happy .
Merci beaucoup for your warm and supportive comment ;)
Cheers
Aw, Peter Albin ! ... Yeah, I wish I was born earlier indeed!
As a Janis-maniac, I really do appreciate you mention him and the incomparable Big Brothers !
Thanx a lot for your lovely comment, Clindsay :D
My old soul smiled at it .
Happy New Year,
Take care
Hi Carole,
So good to see a new song from you.
And what a song! I loved it!
Emo you say? well I am an old fashioned rocker, so to me this music says more "dark" (I can hear some early cure echoes, some new-order or siouxsie twists) ... but anyhow, great music for sure.
I love the way it starts: dry drum, good bass riff and then the first guitar note is simply a perfect introduction to your voice...
Your voice which (I agree to Bear) really comes close to the Lennox of the Eurythmics times (specially the very first verse). Wow! Goose bumps!
1:35 ... wonderful! the guitar solo and your voice's melody work perfectly together! and immediately after we have some short "shout&scream;" verses, which bring back the "post-punk" feeling. Totally loved!
The only think I would change is the "keyboard" solo at 2:35 (not bad, but not on par with the rest of the music).
Thanks again for this wonderful song!
I wish you a pleasant Christmas time!
Un abbraccio, Domenico
Hello Domenico ! How is my sweet friend ? 'Hope you started this new year with much joy and happiness .
I thank you very much for your detailed and instructive comment and the time you devoted to this little thingy !
I'm real happy you enjoyed it and you're right about the melotron solo ( sounds anachronistic but I found it funny ).
I wish you and your loved ones all the best for 2014 .
Take good care,
Un abbraccio in return

Well hello young lady, it has been a while since I visited for a cup of coffee and a listen. A little like Annie Lennox in spots (and that's a great thing).
You never cease to amaze me. You literally could sing anything, any genre, and make it a hit record.
I loved everything about this one. Put a big smile on my face. And your vocal range is breathtaking.
I hope all is well and wish you and your family a very happy holiday season.
Happy New Year, my dear Bear !!
I wish all the best to you and your loved ones :D
Long live coffee, music sharing and friendship across the borders !
Take good care,
xoxoxo
Hey C. How's it going? Just thought i'd check this track out as i've not been around for a while. Really dig the layering of the vocals in this track. You've done a marvellous job here. Lots of energy and right on point.
This has been a pleasure to listen to.
FR
Oh gee ! So glad to see you stopped by here, N !!
Wow, your words about energy and pleasure go straight to my heart, thanx a loooot, my friend .
Well, I'm fine, still crazy and wacky and Robbie is still not my cup of tea, haha ;)
Take good care,
Bises
Love the guitar play in it and the vocals ;) But I am missing a more rough electric guitar throughout the song but since this is rock it's not really required. Would then more take the genre of hard rock or metal
Strong vocal and instrumentation. Gives a good vibe even if emo like. I like how you bring the topics to interesting views. Really like the guitar pieces in here. You play? Thanks for the joy you have given here. Peace.
Erm, no, I play the guitar a little but not well enough to make you hear it, haha .
Joy is precisely what I intended to convey and I'm happy you felt it, Dave . You always understand my thingies so well and I'm very grateful to you for that, my friend .
Thanx a lot for your gentle and encouraging words .
Do take care,
Kisses

Description : This is my newest creation, at a stage very near to completion. No third-party mastering or mixing, as with all my tracks. Just have to fix a few tiny things. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO MIX EVERYTHING IN THE SAME SESSION. This song has all human-played instruments - no quantization or MIDI! My brother does all the vocals except for the interlude part, which I do. My other brother plays the rhythm guitar (a Gibson Les Paul Custom - only one of 12 in the world!!) and I play the accompanying guitar (a Johnny Mar Jag and PRS). He has a lot of guitars :P A good friend of ours, Ronnie, plays the bass and another friend, Freddie, plays the drums. The drum track was done in one take (had to use an electric drum set due to time constraints - but acoustic kits are so much better). Overall, pretty satisfied with the result. Let me know your thoughts.
Description : Feel free to check out the lyrics video on YT as well :) This is a new track based on the great vocals by Ashes and Dreams! Again, a mix of electronic/progressive/rock, any feedback is welcome
Description : The first track I sing on. Cheap stage mic & no fancy plugins. Heavily guitar laden to the point it's got a bit of a shoegaze thing going on. I pulled the lyrics out of my ass & yes, they're a bit silly.
Description : This song was not supposed to be the fourth track of "Diverse waves", but it finally is. Anyway it's a rock oriented track with some interesting sounds. I hope you like it. Worked in zenbeats DAW, by Roland.
Description : BIG UPDATE 26/02/2014 - So, this was an 18 min track that I have now successfully split in two. 2nd half I uploaded a few weeks ago (Things That Should Always Be, with the bouncy 2 min reggae intro). This is the first half, which has a new mix, a mega chill, meditative ending and a little jazz thrown in for good measure. Takes a few minutes for beat to really kick in. Constantly evolving electric guitar, bass guitar, acoustic drums and lead banjo driven by fat, busy 80BPM grooves with a bit of a reggae and shuffle feel. Also: synth choir voices, dulcimer, violin, cello, shimmering pads. Builds up gradually to nice and rocking and then gets taken back down for the big comedown chill. I really don't know what sort of genre this is except 'far out'. I think it sounds more like a live band than one guy playing instruments and manipulating a DAW. Not my best track but a bit of blissful, sunny island fun. Real positive vibe here so I hope you give it a chance to unfold and unfurl. Sit back, clear your schedule and immerse yourself in these trippy sonic experiments cooked up deep in my off-planet underground laboratory. I have to send the MP3 to Earth via space courier (not cheap).
Description : This track was like the inhale after an exhale of aggressive industrial-electro-sludge tracks that I had put out that summer and fall. This was the more reserved, and introspective winter track. It's nothing spectacular, but I still really enjoy it. I hope you do too. Take care. V.
