I Love the vocal and the beat. Maybe a primal scream somewhere near the end would rock it out a bit more but the voice is great on here. Kay0s

Nice 808 percussion and vocal treatments on this one mate, not weird at all. I could see a segment where we go full-on hardcore metal, and then bring it right back down again.

Always loved your stuff BL - whether your plucking a old guitar and giving a heartfelt natural vocal performance or going classy new wave there's an energy and originality that sets you apart. This is wonderful and the combo of dubstep with the dark new wave elements fits with the breathless poignancy of the vocal

Pretty wild man, love your vox as always. I'd call this more fusion than weird, there's even a dub influence in there to me, and electronica of course. Which reminds me, here's a dub thing I did a while back. Maybe it might take your fancy to do something with. Could easily tweak it. I'll let you know if I come up with anything else I think might work.

Honestly, I don't really think this needs any work at all, dude. I think it sounds great just as it is. However, since you were looking to do a bit of a Heavy Metal crossover, I may be able to help with that. Let me play around with it, and see what happens. I'll post an updated metal mix when I get it done. Or, would you prefer to check it out before I release it into the wild?

Overall, I really like your style. It's kind of stand-alone, (which is good), but still has traces of some great artists in there. Just in this song, I hear Joe Strummer, Soul Coughing, Eminem, Puscifer, and just a micro-dose of Tom Waits. You really have a great command over your voice, and know how to use it well.
Anyhow, for the time being, I'll get to work on adding some metal elements to this one, and see if it's anything you like.
Take care, Mr. Banana.

It is a very powerful song with the vocal part being the protagonist. You are right, it would be great if you could add guitar tracks and possibly some drum hits.
Excellent work BananaLu
Cheers, Anthony

thank you Paul, it means a lot to me. After i sat down with your track warriors of the beat. i got a bit sad and i felt pain inside me. i was overwhelmed with your honest lyrics and that was missing in my expression. i dont know how you can handle this, but everytime i get into my real me. it cost me allot of energy. thats why i keep this person locked. this recording was exhausting. but im happy that you cheer me up in my most vulnerable time. love from a banana

Banana, first off this is fantastic! So unique, you had me with that opener and then the beat is just relentless! Also very impressed with your vocals, both technique and quality and treatment of them. Your mix is really nice and clean as well.. I think one thing my ears were expecting to hear on this after that little break at 1:55 was a little wailing, high-end guitar solo/embellishment that maybe introduces a new phrase on top of the the rhythm you introduce. Just a suggestion.. I think what you've got here is super solid and stands on it's own merits and I'm excited to hear where you take this one! Also checked out dusty's version, and those bars are nice! I love what dusty did with it, and could definitely hear more of them on this track if the inspiration hits them. Great stuff, thanks for sharing!
peace, -._.-

thank you badnode for giving me this huge feedback, it made my day. i love those bars from dusty and it would be an honour for me if we can work something out. that beat need def a guitar solo and you are absolutely right, but i know my strengths are not in lead guitar. can you play the guitar?love from a banana

And so the sudden metal trend continues lol. Im not complaining, cuz thats awesome. But it just came out of nowhere, myself included. Even crazier, alot of what im hearing is pretty good! And yours is even better than that. Ive decided to make the Halloween release im working on feature shredding guitar in every song, and so far, the two tracks Ive done for it turned out great. I hope this trend continues, nice work Mr. banana. - Aaron (The Less metal one lol)

hey aaron, i was kinda stunned when i got back here on Lm and listened to your ideas. it encouraged me to go back to this lil project. i work for some bands and tried to show them my ideas, they think im whack. Germanys music scene is always 5 years back. metal and rock is coming back in Hip Hop. im excited whats coming from you in Hallowen. would be nice for a collar. if you need real bass player for your production, just hit me up. love from a banana
