Description : WARNING: THIS PARTICULAR SONG MAY MAKE U DEPRESSED!! Sorry but it's true. But that's how it was back n the day for a bit. A VERY personal song. I was feeling the guilt and shame from some of my past. I decided to change old ways. I would drive listening to this and think I gotta do better! On the bright side that's why I found Looperman and made this track, close to a year ago.

(Needless to say I didn't know about frequencies, ducking, limiting, etc. to make it louder and clearer. I know, the voices could use some lining up too.)

I wanted to share it with Looperman anyway. ..Props to an artist formerly known as Pianosounds at the time it was made. He now goes by the name Minor2Go. A true contributor. It's his piano and I believe choir. Thanks to Looperman

Peace from Chi-Town

This is an amazing track. One of the few hip-hop tracks that isn't mainstream and has "feelings" in it, kinda like your heart and soul is in it. You've still got it man. I can tell you've been in the music game for a good minute. Consider your looperman page bookmarked under my Favorites

Hey thanks man. I'm really glad you liked it. I keep this song up since it has the personal sentimental meaning to me. I am always thrilled when someone else can "feel" what I was feeling as well! Thanks again bud.

I don't think I've ever double reviewed. While I was away(no net and bills coming down!)I thought I had this in my music collection. I didn't and it sucked. I knew it was faved but never had enough time to visit a hotspot to come check it out again. Even after dumping some more loops after getting things strait I forgot to come hear this. Many thanks for keeping it up and for download. Cheers man and thanks :D

You're the best. Hope all is going well, bud! Speaking of hot spots, that reminds me of an AT&T commercial where a couple goes "hot spot hopping". It's pretty funny. peace

Man this is great. Really awesome dual harmonies. I like depressing s**t. Life can't always be sunshine and rainbows you know lol. At least not without chemicals of some sort. Without darkness I wouldn't have much to look forward too lol. Back to the track, it's great. Yea Piano has some of the best piano sounds here(no pun intended). I also like the vocals kinda offset like that. With the technology at our hands everything gets so quantized and pitch corrected and put into form etc... Kinda leaves out the raw emotion of music. It's good to hear a change. Cheers :D

Hey thanks alot man. Yeah, without the vocals, it could have a possibility to be a normal and maybe pretty good hip hop song. But I was going for the offset vocal thing at the time. That's because at that time, I WAS feeling offset. ;) Thanks for listening,understanding, AND reviewing. I just noticed the FAV. That's real cool, thanks again.:)
peace

The beginning was a bit abrupt, maybe a little fade in would be nice, but everything after that was sweet. Vocals, lyrics, instrumentation and transitions are all well done.

I look forward to hearing more great tracks from you,

John

Thanks. Can't argue w/ that. lol. Well I guess I was able to truly express how I felt back then. Since I'm new to posting, thought I'd give a chance to let my old stuff out. "ahh,it's great to be able to exhale". Props for droppin a line. peace...

Description : Made with a good amount of out of tune on a very minory chordy tuning I did about a week or two ago.

Lyrics are literally just an absolutely abrasive and unrecognizable part of the verse to John Lennon's Working Class Hero which
illuminates my bullying more than any song I have come across ever.

I named it bandit as a sort of that's what you get to society for people like me

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).

Reason
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.
