Description : I wrote this song using a character style of a guy that is a bit twisted. I used the true story of a friend that is married to a christian girl but fell in love with a punk rock girl that he worked with. This is the first song that I have uploaded. The loops I used are some that I created using Sonar. The drums are Simon Phillips from www.sessionloops.com
I don't know what else to say about it, I played all the other stuff, guitars, bass using my Line6 Flextone III and a zoom bass effects pedal.

Love the lyrics man. I love that dark sounding guitar reminds me of some acid rock.

Yeah, Dylan and Young are good analogies here - folk sensibility and compulsion in delivering an important narrative. I'm still waiting for Pacific Northwest Folk Punk to arise. Dude, sonically this is such an evolution of SubPop! It's been a long time since I thought about The Screaming Trees, but after listening to this I'm going to dig out my vinyl again! Thanks!

I like the dark side of the bright side...And I especially like real emotive dimensional aspects..so much of today's media is cookie cutter mentality...So you've got a new fan here..plus the songs description is way cool! lol...you've achieved a good tonal bridge between the guitar and vocals,very complimentary...another gutsy performance with real merit..viva MrSob!..cheers planet

Wow...thanks for your support. I am amazed by everyone here and how people are coming together on looperman to make tracks without all of the genre prejudice that you might find on other sites...at least I hope that is the case, I am new and have only seen the positive side of looperman.

This is the real deal! Real instruments being played by a real musician.Real vocals with original lyrics and a true gritty quality... Your production is just right for this song (flawless). So 10/10 from me....

Cheers Slap...

Thank you, That means allot coming from you. I am new to looperman and your loops stand out as the top of the top. I have been listening to your loops now for a few days and I am very excited about using them on upcoming tracks. Can I contact you about an Alto solo I need? Im looking for a short Bowie type solo between an F and G chord rotation at about 70 bpm...any ideas?

Thanks again for the positive review!

This sounds like my old band :P - except my old band was more ska like and had trumpets and a keyboard.

Nice melody, style and composition.

Cant see a flaw in it really lol

OK I'm back, just read your bio, it explain a lot, you're a pro and it shows the skill the emotion it comes from a life in rock, but what really made me laugh is your number one album of all time, check out the track I entered to the competition in rock and check the video, I think we have similar taste in Zeppelin albums, you have to check the video I made for the track Rise of the Swan (get the allusion to Zep, lol)

Your video is great....I have also been doing some local radio and recording ad spots in my studio, also when I was a kid my Dad was a program director in country radio. I have to tell you this site is the best..I used to go onto garageband.com you upload your tracks and let everyone hand you your ass and tell you how much better they are then you. The people here are awesome. I am glad I joined the group.

Wow man, this is serious writing and story telling, you have a great vocal delivery hope you don't hate me for what I'm going to say but I felt like a Bob Dylan feel to the way you tell your story (and this is meant to be a huge compliment) its the blues feel, Bob Dylan is heavely influence by the blues, and thats only about the writing and vocal performance as this was not enough your production is spotless a true pro production the playing is amazing the loop arrangments are great this is a total track I can't make any constructive criticism, this is a complete track with everything perfect. I lived that story in 1982 as a DJ, I swear.Peace Love and Freedom to love a punk girl but punk girls aren't the marrying kind, lol.

illuminates my bullying more than any song I have come across ever.

Description : I wanted to create something similar to Celldweller's songs, but with a more upbeat vibe. :P

I created the vocals while benchmarking the vocal capabilities of various AI models: sound effects, transitions, etc. Modern AI models have already been reduced, so they won't be able to do that (I tried).

I used Audacity/OpenMPT (also audio2audio).

Description : I'm continuing the 'Unfiltered' Vol. 1 series, this is track 2.

Same as with track 1, i'm on the electric guitar/Squier Affinity series Stratocaster, drums and bass only in the beat, i kept percussion to a minimum to not distract from the guitar too much.

Made/recorded/performed in Reason 13.

Feedback is appreciated.
