Fabulous lyrics - your voice puts so much sad emotion in to the song, so effectively lovely

Ha, thanks. I was happy with the lyrics and singing on this one. You should check out the original short poem by Stevie Smith. It's pretty famous. Thanks, as always. Chris.

I really love the bells, the ambient synths and the vocals especially. Dope!

Zootman replied 11th Jul 2022 - 4 years ago

Thanks man. I was pretty happy with this one. Haven't had much time to listen or compose lately, though I did post an ambient thing today, might feature it sometime. I'm also looking forward to another listen to those tracks you sent me! Cheers.

hi there, 'different' is a really nice compliment for me. Thanks a lot for the listen and comment. all the best.

Aces. The mix is great, instrument choices are also really good. Your mellow vox is hypnotizing. About 2:19 was a good tremolo effect stereo-wise. And then came back again at 3:00. A little coda at 4:00. good work.

Hi Cru, thanks a lot. Despite the fairly serious lyric/story I had fun making this one. Good to know you thought it was OK. cheers Chris

Great soundcape, entry into a dreamworld. Everything is so niced layered amazing vibe an feel you created. Today i was suprised to hear a track with your mellow voice. It has something natural that calms me down. It fits perfect to your beat. The lyrics are amazing , honest and real. I want to hear more of this kind.

Zootman replied 2nd Dec 2021 - 4 years ago

I read this poem in a book I keep by the toilet, and the words of the poem resonated with me. Sometimes I believe everyone in this world is fighting some sort of battle. Anyway, glad you found it calming, that was the effect I was trying for. All the best Chris.

Great track and vocals. The mix is top notch. Love how you have implented the guitar and bells to add a lot of atmospheric vibe.

Zootman replied 2nd Dec 2021 - 4 years ago

Hi there, always good to hear the mix sounds OK. I have to mix mostly through headphones (or the car stereo!) so not always easy to know how it translates. Cheers Chris

Very smooth instrumental. Good job on the mix as well.

It's fascinating, there's a little bit here in my opinion Pink Floyd)

Zootman replied 28th Nov 2021 - 4 years ago

fascinating, I like that!

theHumps 22nd Nov 2021 04:23 - 4 years ago

I especially like the tremolo on the guitar. Kinda spacey, a bit trippy. Not a big fan of the drums but i do like the overall feel and atmosphere of the track. Vox sound decent in the mix, interesting lyrics too.

Cool!

Hi Wayne, thanks for the honest feedback. Might be right about the drums, maybe I'll look at trying some lofi type hits. Cheers

Hey Chris.
You know we do lay carpets in our dunnies.
That should tell you something!
Lovely guitar play, mate.
Your voice is great here.
Well done
