Description : This song was inspired by a road near to where I live. I have a picture in my gallery of rainbow road, Planet left a comment about it saying it would make a good song, so I thought I would give it a go. I would like to dedicate this song to people who hold faith in their hearts and are prepared to stand up for what they believe in. All instruments and vocals by Slap, drums Sonic foundry.
All comments welcome...

Cheers Slap...

I love these lyrics, first and foremost. I can actually really relate to them... I'm on that road right now.

You have a radio-ready sound on all your tracks.. it makes me realize how much I need to learn about mixing lol. Again, I love your voice. I remember when I first joined I think you only had one track that had you singing on it at the time. Glad to hear you using it more :)

This was a really beautiful song, especially for being sparked by a comment about a picture ;)

Hi Lisa, wow girl! You really know how to make a guy feel special. Firstly thank you for taking the time to listen, and review mutiple tracks, I feel somewhat honoured by the time this must have taken you! Thank you! I have not been around much of late, mainly because of work, but I feel a real sense of loss over loosing bilbozo from this site. One of the highlights recently was your return, and I'm pleased to hear things are working out for you now. I was looking through the pictures section the other day, and came across some of your beautiful images (non of this standing looking like a gangsta rubbish), but you have a real eye for a good picture, and it was a joy to look at your uploads.
Holding your chin up can be a pretty hard thing to do, when the world keeps making your jaw drop. You have helped me stand firm and still call this place home. Kind words of truth and support from one so far, but yet only a message away...Thank you

Cheers Slap...

This is certainly a gem in your lead vocal selections - like Bryan Adams meets Billy Joel. And the tune is a great arrangement and piece of songwriting. Definitely some representative soul in this number! Keep it up! Any chance of this being available for download? I'd enjoy listening to it with my car's audio rig too.

rei made a comment about your track having moments where you close your eyes sand it's just the song. that hit it on the head for me. i like the sparseness in this track, it lets you showcase your voice, yet another instrument you seem to be apt with.

I really enjoyed the sax solos, especially the one you ended the song with. Thanks for sharing this, man. Just great.

Their so much more than an atmospheric phenomenon..since year dot we've been uplifted by rainbows.....I'd like to take up what Chris mentioned...what a great singing voice you've got..it's no surprise I suppose having the control of your diaphragm that you do...When someone sings they articulate the human element like no other form of expression within music..it's this very elemental quality that shines through here...some tunes actually do radiate,bringing happiness and light to the listener ..this is one of those little pieces of magic...superb work on all fronts...cheers mate Dave :)

it's really time to review one of your songs again!!!
and like always it's a pure pleasure to listen to your music, you always give me moments to close my eyes and forget everything around ... I think this is the best that can be said about the quality of someone's music!!!
and instead of typing more letters now I hit the play-button again ...

peace, rei

Description : (26/50) D#nm - 180 bpm

Most of you know that I don't take myself seriously; I experiment, I just wing it, I don't care much about standards, and I don't care if the music industry takes me seriously, I'm just having fun. This is another one of those tracks where I turn everything upside down, an absurd story in a fast techno beat.

Only 1 sample used: Explosion-sfx by cbbk (2024).

Put on your dancing shoes and enjoy!

Description : I wanted to create a Punjabi euro dance anthem. The vocals are in Punjabi fused with mainstream Western dance music. Hope you enjoy this! Welcome to Punjabi - Dance Culture! The beat is proper Euro dance - hip hop which is a new genre in itself. Let'zzz gooooo!

Description : I continue the hybrid procedure of creating music. This is a relatively recent song of mine that after the in DAW processing it was used as a prompt with certain guiding choices to AI machine. What was produced was di novo imported into the DAW to be blended with the original recording. It ended to a long music piece which I believe can be of interest to the listener. I hope you will enjoy this listen. I think Rocking Ambient describes well the genre.

Description : Hard cinematic trap beat sampled from the iconic Turkish TV series "Ezel" soundtrack. Built with heavy 808s, sharp hi-hats, and a dark, dramatic atmosphere. Perfect for hard-hitting rap vocals and storytelling.
