Nice easy going track with rich harmonies coming out of the guitars. Your vocals are very well put in the song and all together it is a very pleasant hearing. My only wish is about your ending, possibly a simple fading would do just fine.
My best regards, Antony

Thanks Anthony, funnily enough the end had been bugging me too, so I took your advice and just gave it a pretty slow fade. Cheers Chris

Listening to this while on a bus, luckily for me, by the window side.
I love the snare! The vocals are so well curated, and I love the calmness in your voice.

Hi, you know, the melody and lyrics literally came to me in a dream. I woke up and scrawled them down, such as they are.

Really love the tune its so 60's trippy feeling like I'm on a cloud talking to rainbows and clouds.
I rally love the slow pace and guitar and really slow drum beat. And your voice fits it perfectly.
Really nice work Zootman.

So crystal clear, crisp, and magical. Love the depth in the vocals. Great work, Zman

Thanks very much Richard. The vocals were funny, I did them sitting at the kitchen table after the children had gone to bed. I had to be quiet, so I cranked the level up on the mic input and really just murmured into the mic. But I think that proximity effect worked well, makes it sound quite intimate maybe. Cheers Chris

Very good Mr. Zootman great instrumentation and crispy vocals. Sharp lyrics. Psedudoble collaboration. Wake and bake, perhaps tomorrow, I have a dab pen that I recently found inside my families living room recliner. And hey, its the weekend tomorrow. Just took a long hiatus from the THC consumption. I will for sure be zooted, once I start taking some hits of that thing, if I ever get around to doing so. I have been taking a vitamin elixir that seems to be doing excellent things for me. I have been up to a lot, I played a lot of golf this summer, the season is coming to a close. Though, I think I will be getting tropical soon enough and out of the cold, I have been to Puerto Rico, the past three winters. It is always a great time there. I have a new track coming, its always a challenge for me to select one of my recent works, I have a unique track id like to upload and its sort of a new genre of rap, its titled the Civil Disobedience Opera Tape, its eight minutes of rap no hook. I am going to try to upload it. I'm not sure looperman will accept the file though. If you want to hear it, its on my soundcloud @ Johnnie Smoke. I created a new account and all my uploads will be under this profile, until I hit the 50 song mark and need to register for a third account. Its okay Billy Wake and Bake. I noted some words to live by recently, 'Strive to be a rembrandt, and if your not a rembrandt by the day you're set to retire, you are not ready to retire.', Nice song.

Hi there JS, nice to hear from you after some time. Yeah in reality, I don't indulge much anymore really. But I still know the feeling lol. I'll look out for your new one. It's a sunny Saturday here and I'm in front of the computer trying to meet a deadline for a report damn it. Puerto Rico sounds nice, some good surf there too!! Cheers Chris

You want to know what's so great about this song? I mean, aside from the fact that the lyrics were inspired by Sesame St. It sounds like it could be track #11 on any given alt/Grunge CD from 1994. You know, the one that's kind of acts as a break after all the hits, but before the one or two that never got airplay, but go harder than the rest.
It's cool, really. This is a new song, (comparatively), but it still took me back as if I had been listening to it for 30 years.
Excellent work, my friend.
Take care.
V.

Any more laid back and it would fall over lol, though it's probably half way there. I figured this one probably wouldn't have any sort of mass appeal, like most of my stuff, but to the right ears I hoped it might be candy....Thanks for the listen and comment/fav etc. Much appreciated mate.

Hey CCC, I loved the synth part that Pseudoble came up with, its the breathy/bassy one that it is pretty subtle but is there if you lean in and listen. And the weird little synth on the right side was some sort of happy accident with midi which I played on one synth, then swapped the synth vst for another - the upshot being the midi getting confused and producing not the noise it was supposed to. But i though it fit so went with it. Cheers Chris

Description : A dark, melodic trap instrumental with a hypnotic bounce and a smooth, atmospheric feel. The production blends haunting melodies, deep 808s, crisp drums, and subtle textures that give the beat a cinematic edge. At **148 BPM**, it moves with a fast but controlled energy, leaving plenty of room for confident flows, catchy hooks, and melodic vocals.

Perfect for artists looking for a **dark trap, melodic rap, street rap, or moody R&B-inspired sound** with a modern feel.

Description : Hi everyone, I'm presenting you my new beat, where I tried to capture the raw emotions of recent events in my personal life. It's a unique fusion of a dark trap vibe, dirty analog textures, and solid boom-bap drum patterns, topped with a few distinct samples. One of them is a vintage movie quote from 'Psycho' (1960), and the other is a haunting female vocal loop from Looperman, which serves as the main chorus. Hope you feel the vibe.
