Hello definitely a lot of talents combines altogether. I like the apparent simplicity of the song and the complexity of the sounds used in this track. Very cool arrangements and effects to embellish those chords. that's a great collaboration, thanks for sharing.

Hello Chris,

Your synth accompaniment makes me feel like I'm flying, but I especially love your guitar work. I remember you liking Michael Karoli... he'd certainly approve of your guitar work too... I think you should start a band and tour around with them. Yeah, yeah, I know, easier said than done. Damn, we have to get together somehow... I'm not sure how yet... you've got that certain something! Simply adding some of my guitar wouldn't make sense from my point of view, because you're doing a great job yourself. It would require a different approach... I'm sure I'll figure it out.

All the best from the Neanderthal,

Micky

Greetings Micky, enjoyed that track you have up at the moment. I fav'd but didn't comment. Hopefully we'll connect on something one day. Did you get that last guitar track I sent? Probably not your thing....all the best Chris

The vocals on this track are amazing, fits the mood of the music perfectly. The guitars sound great, not too overpowering. Everything sits well in the mix. Great track.

Oh those Lyrics! Beautifully written and the acapella from True Sister is divine. I love the warmth of the acoustic guitar adding raw emotional authenticity

Hi Kayos, thanks a lot. I was pleased with the lyrics, but the track was too short for Manuela to sing them all. But I really like the result anyway. Cheers Zoot.

Hey Chris, I wanted to clarify. The track is a creative work of art telling a story without words with the instrumentation and with the beautifully rendered lyrics that Manuela provided. Peace.

Great collaboration
I really liked this song. To me it's a powerful rock ballad, both because of the singer and the composer. It is the lyrics of course where it all starts. In there is where the power is hidden and discovered from Manuela when she sung them and from Zootman who transformed all these inner feelings to music Very good, natural sound as well. My compliments to both of you.
Best regards, Anthony

Chris this is an impressive work. Out of your creativity, you went beyond just sound. This tells a story without words. Manuela is a true Gold Standard . Her voice stands on its own merits. Throughly enjoyed. Peace.

Already replied to your other coment, but thanks again. Yes, I was really aiming for a mood as much as anything. I guess it's kind of dark but then I did call the original instrumental track a dirge....Thanks again, Chris

Description : There were two separate tracks in work, but who knows why I got tired with them and then decided to merge them (or at least what left from them) into one piece hence they originate out of same musical purpose. No worries...no world war was ment here, except my recent personal one...haha...and you don't want to know about it.:) It's not real etude by any means, yet it's quite alot about practicing...practicing...

Description : Again, another early production from like two years ago. I had a cheap little Yamaha acoustic guitar that I borrowed and mic'd and some congas that were given to me as a birthday present. I used my iPad GarageBand app to record the strings and the big bass drum thingy at the interlude and little electric guitar parts in there too haha. All the vocals were done by myself and my brother throws in some little things here and there with his voice :P Enjoy!
