    I thought so. The main idea was around the Truth. I don't know who said it but the full quote is "trust those who seek the truth, not those who say they found it". I liked that a lot.

    zootman2u, you got me with the bass. Yep! Youve got the drums right at that sweet spot mix wise and the proximity on the vocals, however you processed them fit the overall theme of the song perfectly. Much respect on your technique. Be safe.

    Hey man! I absolutely love this track. In fact, I would really love to do a remaster of it and see if any more quality can be pushed from it, because it has a lot of potential. You will have full credit for the track, and no monetary gain will come from it.

    My best,

    Sorry I missed this earlier, a little late to the game on this one. Reminds me of Get Down Moses by Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros.

    "Fake it till you make it", always loved that saying.

    Great groove, cool guitars, liked the vocal delivery, cool track man!

    That bassline reminded me a small bit of The Bogus Man" from Roxy Music but with more syncopated drums.. really good, I like the arrangement, the Rhodes, and the strummed guitar chords. well-liked, the vox was cool as well, well delivered.

    Great guitar work, great composition, with puzzling time signature. When the vocals started I was thinking of Steve Miller ... but of course this is unique. Very good work!!!

    haha good ears someone noticed or at least commented. yep, i was kind of aiming for a sort of polyrhythmic effect. it has no real time signature, or at least no set beginning or end to any 'bar'. or maybe no bars as such! I used two drum loops which i do quite a lot, then kind of slid one past the other until I ended up with something interesting. and the other bits and pieces kind of just got thrown in to wherever i thought they sounded good. cheers for the listen.

    Hi Chris,
    yippee aye eh. This is a great song to start the day. Well done. The bass, from megapaul, does his work well and your voice fits as always.
    Have a nice day! Enjoy the time, the tide comes everywhere at some point (maybe you heard about it what happened here in europe).

    Thanks mate. This mix is one I sent to landr for mastering. To be honest, when I compare my master with theirs they're pretty similar I think, apart from the volume increase. Which is heartening actually.

    i thought there should be a male voice when i listened before 1/3 of the song, and then it comes on. Good funky song, but i dont really like effects on the voice, but it just imho. keep it up!

    Great Track - love it - foot stomping head nodding grove, great sound, good vocal, lyrics even a hint of what sounds like a Hammond organ (btw I actually have a real one of those - seriously) Well done mate - REAL music!

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 : I wrote this song some time ago when I was living in Florida. It's even more true today.

Vocals by Arthur Granquist, guitar by the great Kevin Lysen, drums by Marc Karmatz, also the recording engineer.

The idea musically was to take some rock and some bluegrass elements, mash 'em up and see what happened.

Every day is a struggle to do better in a crazy world.

This song was supposed to be a Bedlam Kids track, but due to the low (none) interest of Pete on continuing that project, I'll upload the remaining tracks as instrumentals as soon as I can.

For now, here's a song written almost 7 months ago, it's called Simple Things.

Hope you enjoy it!!!
