I really liked this. The four on the floor threw me off at first but it was well arranged that it became catchy pretty quick.

Lu, this is a fantastic track. All those little ear candies you've added are sounding great and for a beginner your mix isn't too far off to my ears! Would love to read the lyrics to this :) also your vocals have such a raw emotion to them that I'm always chasing with my own stuff, very well done! Hope to hear more!
best,

thank you very much, im also a big fan of you :) sometimes i think about putting lyrics on here. But in my mind im not singer, i try to abstract my vocals make them washed up. my goal is to be sax horn, not a human. so, there are no words, just a feeling. everybody can intepret what they want. love from banana

"There's nothing else then forest and birds."
Living in the Pacific Northwest, I know exactly how that feels, and how inspirational it truly is. I don't know if you ever listened to my track Moss Mother pt.1, but that's what it's all about. So, I can totally relate to your situation, and I'm glad you found that!

"I'm not feeling alone anymore."

That pleases me to no end, brother. When I found this place, I felt like the "Bee girl" at the end of the Blind Melon's "No Rain" video. Everyone was so accepting and supportive. Most of what I know I learned here, from some of the old timers back in the day. I think I can safely speak for a lot of people here when I say that you're a valued member of this little community, and we're glad that you're here.
So, here's to many more, brother.
Take care.

You have done an excellent work on this track. I mostly listen to its rock attitude and it brought to my mind well established artists of this genre. I want to be clear, you deliver your own sound and expression and all I mean is you definitely have pro material here.
Best regards, Anthony

Love the vibes, nice guitar track and I appreciate the work you did on the tones and delay effects. Hope you have more tracks to share from that album of yours that you mentioned.

I freaking love your vibe, I'm currently deep into your upload (the output is a lot,great work ethic) I love your fingers style stuff on guitar. You got a great taste in tone as well. Thank you for listing to this. In December I will released my Album. I will definitely post on here. There's some solos missing in my projects, I suck at lead guitar, if you feeling something i would like to collab.

Hey Lu. Welcome back, man. I'm glad to see you've been busy working on more music. I've always liked your work.
This is a good one. I really like the way you've used the synths throughout the whole thing, but their so cleverly placed that you almost don't notice them. But if they weren't there, you would definitely miss them. They're like a sonic ribbon that weaves in and out, tying everything together.
As far as the mix goes, it sounds good to me. Everything is clear, all the levels seem to be balanced, you have good panning and stereo separation, every instrument sits exactly where it should, and your vocals come through clearly. For a beginner, man, it sounds great! I think you're closer to "there" than you give yourself credit for.
When you release your album, please let me know immediately, and point me in the right direction as to where to find it. I'll be first in line to get it.
Take care, mister.

Thank you Aaron, you took your time and analyzed this mix. I'm really at this point where I get crazy, self doubts. I got that synth energy from nature, I moved to a little farm in the country side. There's nothing else then forest and birds. I jamed the whole summer with them. That's is my new creativ limit for stnth work. To be like in bird high up the trees. I will definitely post a link here for this album, without this community I wouldn't be the musician I am. I'm not feeling alone anymore.

Reminds me of Message in a Bottle by The Police - this is a real mash up of Rock and New Wave and absolutely delightful

I really rip of Andy Summers stuff, his guitar parts are always over the rainbow with fx but solid guitar tone and picking. Coupland decided to be a human precious metronom and loves his hi hat and cymbal stuff. Sting is not very friendly but that raspy whiskey tone is excellent.

Hey man how you doing? Mighty fine I'd say if this is anything to go by. Loving your vibe on this. Guitars and bass sound great, vocals fantastic, unique as usual. Everything sounds wicked to me, nice sound and not overproduced. Look forward to hearing more. Cheers Chris

Thank you zootman, I'm feeling good. I changed a lot of my production style and focused just on eq and compression. It was one of your comments in the past. I got overboard with my meters. I learned a lot from you just listinging to your production. All that cinematic 3d synth stuff I copied. Hope you don't mind. I'm just your Stan.

Description : "Celebrate the Cornerstone," penned by Kay Matteson, John Matteson, and Richard Shekari, is an uplifting contemporary worship song that beautifully encapsulates themes of salvation and divine love. Drawing from biblical imagery, the lyrics highlight Jesus as the Chief Cornerstone—initially rejected but ultimately essential to faith.
