JOHNNY! You never knew me really but I missed you. I love funk, especially pre-house funk, when it was kind of electronic. I love the talkbox guitar or wah wah you do with that guitar. The one thing I have to say is the drum beat never really changes, it is the same, maybe you could fade in and out with the filter that you are using, and add a break or two, solos. That funk guitar thing in the background with the talkbox or wah wah sounds a lot like the lyrics to Butthole Surfer's Pepper, if you ever listened to them.
Thanks daMann wasnt really taking this one seriously I agree with the drum track being the same I was actually just trying to matching different styles with the same beat to show how genres can change withthe drum beat staying the same just glad to be back in some form or fashion
thanks for the review my man damann my track wasnt up for 5 minutes and you threw down a review ! very impressive my man!
That brings back memories this track was the most newly uploaded song when i entered the site was hooked up 2 days later. Didn't know any of these names back then ^^
Well I guess a tattoo on the upper forearm's next..only kidding!...Man no one ever wrote me a love song..come to think of it neither have I..Oh well best left to someone who can do it right..I really get a kick out of seeing people in love and hearing about it...It restores your faith in the whole process...great tribute to your gal man...makes me feel warm and fuzzy all over...cheers planet
Well done guys, really good of you to have chosen such heavy subject, you got me thinking now. The music is just so emotional, and with your singing on top, it's become one of my favourite.
Good luck guys.
Cheers S.
This was a perfect song to wake up to, soothing and on point. Love Beck and love your arrangement. And thanks for the tip on the cappellas site, was just thinking about that.

Great song team.. Address the issues, that's the way forward for all of us.. It gets you thinking while I write this. The price some are prepared to pay so we can live in freedom... Cheers Slap...
Really beautiful, I love that it's political (political music and I go hand in hand).
Can they even win the Iraq war? The whole war's just a nightmare.
I like that 2nd to last instrument solo thingy lots too
people same to forget the soldiers have opinions too.
soldiers end in situations that mat go against their moral fiber.
when i joined the army i had no idea about anything.. i was 18 years old and i had beer in my eyes... my second day of basic Desert shield started... i went was 1 of five in my class to go to korea and miss that all together... years later i look back and realize that i wasn't a soldier i was a mercenary. i didnt see any action in my 5 years but i dont agree with the leaders of my country.
at the time if i would have went to war i wouldn't have been doing for anything other then my paycheck and to stay out of the stockade. i would have killed to keep my squad and myself alive.
a pawn i would have been. ... i would have asked that same question that this song asks.. i feel lucky.. i made a mistake and i didnt have to suffer for it.
i dont think the military is a bad carrier choice but the question i ask anyone that asks me if i think they should join the military is.. do you agree with our government? would you be willing to kill for a politician? would you be willing to die for a cause that may be morally wrong? then the next thing i say is pick a job in the military that pays over 100,000 usd a year in the civilian world get your training do your time get out and enjoy life lol.
nice responce I agree to the freedom of choice! the problem with the econoomy is that some people do not have a choice or the military seems to be the only logical choice in a shattered economy and they are pushed into a decision that perhaps they are not ready for but by all means there is no turning back once filtered into it! this whole scenario should have been resolved by now and too many soldiers are dying needlessly! this is a sad sad thing with little or no benefit
thanks blair I knew i wanted to do something that would have an effect on everyone! I also did my time in the army so i can relate totally thumbs up brother on a wonderful competition Team 3 applauds you sir Well done!
ViciousMonkey, and Cyco...sorry, can't say I've checked out too many of you tracks (to which I reall do apologise).. I can't figure out you guys in this...Anyway...wicked track from all you guys...Looks like this is gonna be tough on the voters...good luck..
you know splish I just told my guys that come up with a track and had them verse and chorus it and told them how i wanted it, then I put the vocals in! Iam not really sure who did what or where!
the only thing i know is they did a great job!
I just came up with the lyrics and sang it!,
and mastered it, they did all the work!
Very nice song,when i start listen this track,something just get thru my body,and i just can't stop listen this,vocal and the lyrics is very great,people you made a really relly nice song,this track really sad me,words from the heart...Peace
the other guys on team 3 were fabulous on this track they pulled it all together after making them change it like 6 times iam sure i wore their
patience thin but doing the lyrics and vocals i have heard this track over and over like a hundred
times and it still gives me chills! glad you like it deja
Touchy subject indeed,piano works great mates,lyrics drops in, words taken to heart, the pad is nice and all those layers create a subtle mood. The beat is taken further back in the mix and out of a club perspective it wont work, but I don't think your intention is to play this in clubs? Will work nice with a documentary though. Good work guys.
this was a one off for the competition no club vibe here but i knew i wanted to use a serious topic for the comp after watching the news for a few minutes it was an easy but sad choice!
thank for the review shamus!
Choice track dudes...won't say much apart from really well done!Wow this is going to be so hard to choose.....cheers planet ps. great segue into the ending
thanks planet
I thought long and hard for the subject matter
but after watching the news it was plain to see what i should be singing about thanks for the review
will listen to the rest of the entries after work
gotta go..........good luck all JG
What's not to love about this. Great lyrics and music. Good vocals on this. This needs to be the new theme song for Earth Day. I'm greatful that mine isn't the only slightly warped mind on this site. I'm sure that Squirals in heaven now. Love ya Johnny, and God bless,
Blair
This is fantastic. I got chills when I read that the tract was done before you found the vocal. How is that possible? (eerie music paying in the background) Best of the best. Checked out the links too.

Love the feel of this reminds me of the hospital level in silent hill :P (the game not film)
Love the dark atmosphere, its like a massive mob with genetic or cybernetic, implants that have vowed to take over the world.
Terminator 1 style backing.. interesting.
