What a beautiful voice you have - such a nice tone - a mystifying thing/that soul of yours like a river lost to the sea
a little bit like me ..Gorgeous lyrics and sentiment for your daughter - the guitar has classic acoustic warmth - LOVE THIS

Zootman replied 26th Feb 2026 - 6 months ago

This will probably always be one of own favorites. I still exactly remember where, when and how I recorded it. Thanks for the lovely comment. Chris.

All I can say atm is I am truly glad I gave your older songs a listen. Youre a hero to your daughter, man. And we are glad you shared that with us in the form of this song - not that it wouldnt be good without that part, it just cranks it up a few notches for us. My young daughters are both beginning to want to make music with dad, and this made us think of that.

Zootman replied 20th Feb 2026 - 6 months ago

Make sure you indulge them man, it's fun. I'm jamming a bit with my son at the moment, me on guitar, him on midi drums with bass loop going. Anyway, this track will always have a place in my heart, it captures a moment in time for me.

Chris! This work is over the top. Everything from the silence in between the notes to the ambient sounds in the background. Just EXCELLENT!

Not sure how you found this one... But thanks, it has a special place in my heart purely from the circumstances of it's creation. Cheers Chris.

Thanks John, sorry for the late reply!

JohnMatteson 4th Oct 2024 12:50 - 1 year ago

Wow really clean sound and the voice sounds great. really nice!

Zootman replied 8th Oct 2024 - 1 year ago

Thanks for checking another track out! This one has a special place in my heart, glad someone else likes it. Still like that accoustic track of yours I commented on. Perhaps one day I come back to it and try something. Cheers, Zoot.

Hey man, mate short review required for this one WOW, stunning instrumental with a very nice chill vibe, massive shout out to you on your vocals on this piece, very impressive so wrapped I picked this piece to listen too, made my day. One of the best tracks I've heard since coming back into the loop family after a long layoff, massive fav mate, Peace much Respect mosaic....

Zootman replied 2nd Oct 2023 - 2 years ago

that's a really nice comment, thanks a lot. And thanks for taking the time to listen to another track. I know I'm pretty amateur with this music thing, but it is so enjoyable to create and be creative. If I'm pleased with the result that's what matters most, but if someone else genuinely likes it too, all the better!! Cheers Zoot.

really touching nice piece of work, bro!

Zootman replied 8th Apr 2023 - 3 years ago

Thanks mate, gotta get some listening in myself soon as I can.

Jkingz 5th Apr 2023 17:41 - 3 years ago

Awesome Zootman, great buttery vocal and nice chilled guitar playing. Nice mix on this one as well, the guitar almost sounds subtle against the vocal, good job for not over cooking the levels, sounds great ! :)

Zootman replied 6th Apr 2023 - 3 years ago

Thanks for the nice comment! I probably fluked the balance between vox and guitar given I had the two mics (1 condenser and 1 dynamic) positioned to try and capture both at once. Took a bit of compression to get on top of some of the peaks but yeah, the problem with the earlier version was a bit of clipping. I'm still very much learning the production stuff.

JohnSmokey 5th Apr 2023 16:05 - 3 years ago

Very cool. Love the soft acoustic. You have a good voice. Cool backstory too!

Zootman replied 6th Apr 2023 - 3 years ago

Thanks man, appreciate the listen and comment, keeps the community alive eh.

pseudoble 2nd Apr 2023 03:54 - 3 years ago

I remember this one and the sound is wonderful (but I cant remember the old mix) - just gorgeous

Zootman replied 4th Apr 2023 - 3 years ago

thanks Ian, gonna try to listen to your and others new ones tonight hopefully...

BaoBou 1st Apr 2023 12:32 - 3 years ago

That is absolutely lovely Chris. Lovely orchestral echoes too. Great stuff.

Zootman replied 4th Apr 2023 - 3 years ago

Thanks Mr BB. I added the delay to the mix just recently, wasn't sure it was a good move. I wanted it subtle so hopefully it sounds that way. cheers Chris

RitajustRita 31st Mar 2023 00:14 - 3 years ago

Hi Zootman .
I dont remember the older one anymore...my age lol.
But it sounds great.
Nice guitar playing and voice
Very peacefull

Zootman replied 4th Apr 2023 - 3 years ago

Thanks Rita, when I'm away from home and I have some spare time (as I was with this one) and I don't have the recording equipment it gets tempting to go back to some old ones and tinker and try to improve etc. Cheers Chris

dimestop 30th Mar 2023 17:17 - 3 years ago

thats some scroll, first time for me mate, i wasnt about when you released it. what a wonderful track beautiful guitar being a father of a daughter myself, i feel all your words, excellent vocal and music and great production Chris, top marks on this bro.

Zootman replied 30th Mar 2023 - 3 years ago

Hi Paul thanks a lot man. Looking forward to hearing more from you, you must be cooking something up. Personally I'm feeling the urge to do more guitar music and have a few things on the go but no time to pursue and develop them.

phantomproduction 28th Mar 2023 10:09 - 3 years ago

nice moment of your life my friend and nice track full of feeling, I didn't know this piece, great job Chris!
Michael

Zootman replied 28th Mar 2023 - 3 years ago

Hi Michael. Thanks a lot. I didn't realize this was already showing in featured tracks. I hadn't had time to listen or comment to others and I'm about to go bush again for a couple of days. Weston63 did a great remix of it. He's got some very cool stuff on here.

I got the urge to click an acoustic track, and I'm glad I did! Your vocals and the lyrics are wondrous! The guitar work made a perfect bed for these words, and it's tone is awesome. Really liked this song! Faved for sure!

Zootman replied 6th Jan 2022 - 4 years ago

Thanks a lot mate, appreciate the listen and comment. Cheers to you.

weston63 27th Dec 2021 17:13 - 4 years ago

Hi Zootman would it be ok to do remix of your song let me know thanks weston.

Zootman replied 27th Dec 2021 - 4 years ago

Sure thanks that would be great.

Orlando51 5th Jul 2021 08:45 - 5 years ago

I adore acoustic music and this one is such a lovely example...thumbs up !!

thanks so much

sirefox 4th Jul 2021 11:33 - 5 years ago

Gran tema con una voz impresionante, la guitarra muy intimista arropando cada palabra con total suavidad. Me viene a la cabeza algo de Pink floyd no sé porque. Cosas mías. Enorme pista amigo zootman2u. Salud para ti y los tuyos.

Zootman replied 15th Jul 2021 - 5 years ago

very kind thanks so much

BeatMaker4real 29th Jun 2021 21:16 - 5 years ago

Wow, this was great. Love the guitar tone.

Zootman replied 15th Jul 2021 - 5 years ago

cheers for that, means a lot ta.

pseudoble 29th Jun 2021 14:30 - 5 years ago

Great sound on the guitar and vocal and excellent performance and composition - Im thinking your daughter must be very happy with a song like that for her own : )

67TwinEngine 28th Jun 2021 16:00 - 5 years ago

Excellent! It's absolutely perfect and your voice is awesome. I downloaded it just to listen as any other song. I was thinking of making a remix with some acoustic bass and just a subtle touch of synths, on the background (softer) keeping your track on the sonic foreground. If I do that I will send you the end result. Thanks for sharing and congratulations for your brilliant work.

Zootman replied 28th Jun 2021 - 5 years ago

Thanks very much. You're very welcome to have a play around with it. I'd be very curious to hear it. Cheers Chris
