Interesting track, lots of ideas and nice sounds in a short track, I particularly like the intro part, hope you can develop it into a full track :)

From reading your replies I can see what the song means to you. Don't get me started, lol. It's a neat track, reminds me of stuff U2 did about 1/3 into their career, Zooropa/Lemon era. I have absolutely no idea what makes this trip hop but who cares, it's a neat piece of music.

Sorry to hear about your suitcase. I just adopted the neighborhood cat that 4 different people have just left water and food outside for her her whole life, ~ 6 years old. They move away and the next person starts feeding her. I started petting her and she was so lovable and underfed. And when my neighbor couldn't get the cat in a cat carrier when she moved, she asked me to feed and water her. Well by then I was already feeding her and she was sleeping on my bed every night, he. Awesome, most sweetest grey tiger cat! All she wanted was to be someone's pet.

There is still goodness out there, even if in small kitty sized amounts. Don't lose the faith brother. :)

heya Wayne — U2’s a band i’ll try rediscovering. zooropa was the only full record i connected to at the time, seriously cool stuff from edge.
the story about yr new roomie illustrates your point in ways that hit home, dude. redemptive acts oughtta feature more prominently in my head. thanks for that, buddy!

"Don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows indeed..." Your track embodies a mysterious, maybe even ominous feel about it in which perhaps you are trying to convey your message. In which case message received, I also like the fact (much like myself) that you've chosen the "say what you gotta say musical and don't prolong the song unnecessarily" if it is not needed approach.

Great job and fav,

Dennel

hey Dennel, thanks for the listen and comments man. i wanted a ruined sound to reflect the images of ruin that permeates most media, it’s certainly permeated my consciousness.
i’m not really dogmatic about song length, but it is particularly gratifying when my long-winded ass manages to bring a sense of brevity to bear in a track. would that that were always the case!
peace, man

Description : Vocal; DJ Sample. Drums; The Savage. The rest is me. I mapped the bassline by watching bass tutorials themed on Bootsy Collins, hence the funk vibe. Despite that this is still a Clickbait Cabaret track, so the spooky vibe is still there, hence the trip hop tag. I dig trip hop.

Was a very different experience working with this sort of stem set, and I have not done a remix of someone's track in a while. Added a bit of my hardware flair to this one. Thank you to Golden Ookami for making these stems available to us! Hope that you enjoy it!
