    It's a very potent song, my friend! Hard to put into words.

    I was reading the previous comments and your replies, and was thinking about something which was not brought up. It seems that our government, and the corporations which control/support it, value our extreme ignorance - both in the present and of the past. There is, at least locally, a sort of book burning going on. Our library, which used to be fabulous and strong, has been throwing away (not recycling) massive amounts of books each week. Today, I checked the bin, and all of the books were about population growth and statistics. It was a bit frightening. All in all, it feels as if they are trying to control how we think, how we learn, and how history is remembered.

    Any way, back to the song on a second listen.

    The introduction reminds me very much of Depeche Mode, which is awesome, since I generally dig their stuff. The guitar work and tone remind me very much of something I might record, especially if I was a bit better at playing.

    The horror film piano arpeggios add a lot to this otherwise sweet tune. Something ominous and haunting.

    With the vocals, I'm hearing vibes of Portugal The Man, in a way. Also, some of the deeper vocal tracks from Primus. It's all very groovy and strong, but also scary and present.

    Excellent piece, and I can not wait to hear more from these sessions! Fave!

    Thank you, Spivkurl, and sorry I'm so delinquent in my reply. Your thoughtful comments are fantastic to read.

    Yes, we live in a sea of propaganda, distortion and suppression. It has always been that way. In the Middle Ages, the Catholic Church make it a capital crime to translate the Bible from Latin into any native language. People were burned at the stake for doing so. That way, the priests could say what the Bible said, could control it, and could use their restricted knowledge as means to get money, through the sales of "indulgences" for sin, where people could pay a fee to the church and get their slate wiped clean in heaven, so they were told. It's similar today, except it's not the Bible, of course, but the facts that show our country is completely fucked up.

    I appreciate your detailed comments on the music as well. Sunny did some amazing guitar work on this piece, but then again she did on pretty much all 55 songs we recorded. She is something special. I made a video for this song, fyi, which is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTXDOYVJMO0&list=PLwqrYdLC9-Z5qkDNGCjbM0_Q2RNZKwBeN

    Thanks again.

    Thanks, man. Those are good things to be reminded of so, right on. I'm very very happy with the results we got in the Sunny Sessions. Mic drop. The world still doesn't give a crap, but mic drop anyway.

    Brilliant piece.
    It reminds me of something from the 70's that I can't put my finger on and a voice I can't put a name too.
    Nice to know protest is alive and well.
    Protest is awareness in action.
    I'm in the Anglo part of this dying Anglo American banking empire.
    The most watched people on planet earth now.
    Greed has taken over everything here.
    The protests of the past in America are not happening because they learnt from Viet Nam that a comfortable and well off populace are powerful.
    But when you're reduced to fear poverty uncertainty you won't be protesting hence the lack of mass protest.
    This is very professionally put together and should be on the radio everywhere.

    Thank you, Silverman. You made my day. Dylan defined a great song as one that seems like it's been around forever, so reminding you of the '70s is all right with me.

    Protest is hope, and hope is in short supply these days. How absurd hope looks in the face of such enormous government corruption and general hatred. When there's no hope then out of hopelessness comes random acts of violence, and these are increasing on a daily basis. I fear that now any protest risks being a violent clash between the people and the government or between the people of one view and the people of the opposite view. We've had a house this divided before, and guess where it led? 620,000 dead. Ah, music. Can it make any difference?

    Jeez, I wish I knew how to get things on the radio or to get any success at all, beyond the intense soul satisfaction that I'm feeling at the moment, having completed the project. But I'm working through the necessary steps, and maybe I can make something happen this time. Thanks for your comment, it gave me a boost.

    Pretty tumultuous times we are living through in America these days. I last saw this mayhem when the Watergate scandal was going on, even though I was young I can remember watching the news and being shocked. It's amazing the similarities to what's going on today but this is even worse. Where has the civility gone in our society?

    I'm glad to hear protest music in something other than folk music. Punk always has seemed to have protest music. Good to hear more electronic based protest music being made. The electric git adds a nice touch to accent the vocals, they have a cool tone and the two tracks playing opposite each other works good. I like the effects on the vocals, big reverb, haunting. With the descending piano in certain parts sets a darker feel. Lyrics are good too. Drums have a Trent Reznor feel to them in my opinion.:)

    55 songs in a session? Wow!

    55 songs in multiple sessions over 5-1/2 months, not just one session...

    Thanks for the comment and feedback!

    Yeah, these are ridiculous times. When Watergate was going on, which I remember well, we had just come out of the turbulent '60s, the protests, the Civil Rights movement, the riots, the assassinations, Walter Cronkite on the CBS Evening News with the nightly body counts, the Kent State killings, etc. Nixon had just kicked off the unconstitutional and illegal "War on Drugs" in order to target first Vietnam protesters and then blacks, and here we are, 46 years later, still waging that suicidal mission against ourselves. Having been alive for a long sweep of history, I look back and it's pretty clear that that's where the slippery slope really started which has landed us at this low point of moral degeneracy and sheer insanity as a country. I can't even begin to process the scope of our degradation and lack of understanding of the most basic, basic aspects of democracy, freedom, and decency - not to mention the ability to differentiate good from evil. It's no surprise that the stunning violence of Americans on Americans is growing every day. As hopeless as it is, all I can do is make songs as my witness to the insanity and my criticism of the bullshit. Otherwise I'd go crazy. Thanks for listening and for your thoughtful comment, I really appreciate it!

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.

Guys, a couple of friends and I, we've got Lowdown with this track.

I must say there are no sounds like the sounds of real drums.
