wow. you said all of that is loops....then im working too hard. im trying to do stuff like that without using loops. how did you find a set of loops to go together so well? It's a pretty nice sound only thing is i got on headphones and i think the sax is too loud ...might be the phones tho..but nice job.

I agree with some of the other comments, the guitar is excellent and so is your voice. I really enjoyed the track, great work well done.

Did you happen to see the movie- Little Nicky? I'm reminded of the scene where the dog is sleeping and as he's snoring he goes- "La la lala la la. La lala la la." Sorta like how it goes in this song. Crazy stuff dood, crazy stuff. And this is exactly why I stay away from large sharp knives, hahaha!

I like the way you've got the effects on the Sax to sound as if they're bein played in a large room. The amount of reverb bouncin back is great. I could almost see this being recorded live in a studio. Or the Green Room as they call the behind stage lounge area for performers at the WSRE station here. Funny thing there is I always thought that was what they called the part of the studio that they use to add CGI backdrops. Eh, shrugs.

And the strings sound as if they are being played on stage. Excellent work, my friend!

I hear what your saying mate...in some ways society is turning it's attention on the plight of disadvantaged people..but it's a near hopeless situation when the basic tenements of physics are being undermined by one thing....Money flows uphill.
An emotive chill song..great work....planet

Hey man...this is way cool.......Songs that encapsulate experiences we all have are always bound to succeed...this ones great I get the been there done that vibe....plus I love your voice...it's a great instrument!.....sorry for being late listening to this sometimes the expanding Looperverse overwhelms me...cheers planet :)

Rap-a-tap-tapping. What were you bangin on to get those sounds, eh? As for the Guitar part, it sounded pretty sweet. As for the recording time error, I've done that a few times. Mostly on Magix MM12, because for some odd reason it sets at 8 seconds and won't allow you to record audio longer than that. It'll automatically stop, even if you keep goin. So you got to stretch it out to where you know it won't cut you off. Say like 8 minutes and once you're done it won't auto crop to match where the ending of the recording is. You actually have to go back and manually move it to there. Needless to say it can be very frustrating so I don't use it that often.

Ooh, I just had a thought for a song you could make with the following chords- A, C, G. Just gonna throw out a random pattern. A-C-G-C-G-C-G, A-C-G-G-A-C-A, A-C-G-A-C-C-A or somethin like that. Later on mate!

Supposed to be mono? Coz I've got my headfones on and it's only comin out my right side. I like this, it reminds me of some of the stuff my dad useta strum to me when they were trying to put me to bed. Later on!

Be a hero? That's somethin my n my Bragg buds useta say whenever someone was actin in a way like they were about to do somethin dumb, haha.

As for the message, I can relate. Not that I've ever done hard time, but I do sorta know what it's like to lose my freedom and lemme tell you, once you get it back those first few moments you appreciate everything. Even the silly and small things you'd normally overlook. Like how beautiful the sky can be. And I'm not talking about pretty sunsets, I'm talkin about just stoppin to look up into the endless blue. That's what I did when I got mine back.

As for similar lyrics I'll throw out a snippet of Shitwhistle-

"..if only, these homies could be
Aimin for history instead of the penitentiaries..."

Later on mate!

Hey blair!

That Jazzy sax won't get off my head. Great one... the only thinf is that I missed the bass line (Of course, I'm a bass player!). I like the way the orchestra mix up with the keyboard and the drums... Great!

People always run for shelter when it rains. As long as there is no lightning, I walk a little slower than normal and just enjoy the feel of the rain on my skin. There is nothing like coming home soaked and cold from the rain, taking a hot shower to warm up, and then snuggle under the covers with a good book. That to me is absolute and total relaxation.

i didnt have the good word to tell how i like that :p.. its really nice.. i like the song of your Guitar... the riff is really nice... and vocal are really nice..really good work

Great track! I like that panning :D

i can feel the emotion,

this song touches me dude.

and thats saying alot.

thanks alot man.
:.)

For a first shot at using loops this is very solid. And you're right, that bass line is kick ass. I like your use of minimalization for the end, just kind of let it go to nothing, it is a very apropos way to finish this it seemed to me. Nice and fast throughout with a nice little synth out. Liked it.

good chill ass music man. Im feeling this one a lot

My friends don't understand how I love Jazz and Funkadelic (the original) at the say time. This song simplifies why. It has that same feel. I was blown away with this for personal musical reasons. Thanks man, Can I have another?

Taken back to a moment in the summer of '90, I think. I just remember that it was back when I lived in Va Beach and on one particular day it started raining and instead of seeking shelter inside my friends and I stayed and played out in it. I'd say that it was probably in the mid 80s that day and the rain was nice and cold. About the same as the water in an indoor swimming pool. I tell you, once we were all completely drenched it was one of the most refreshing sensations a person could feel with their cloths on. Ok, that was a bad joke ending, but it did feel really great. And I remember that once the rain stopped it kinda made me sad. As if our good little time was over with the passing of the storm clouds. Thanks for the flashback!

Start volunteering @ my college. Doing this thing where I read the newspaper for blind people I believe. The perks of working a Flex-time schedule.

I really love the way this was recorded. It has that quality that reflects it's humble roots. Lates!

It's cool how a song can make you feel great. I don't know why but this song made me say, i am happy with my life,this got to my heart too.Man i know i sound weird but i feel really happy hearing this song

Great use of panning in the driving parts, but panning the footsteps at the beginning would have been good.

The words are excellent. Especially the "spinning out of control" parts. Great use of double entendre throughout the piece if you ask me.

Do this all funky because for some odd reason the Wimpy player kept lockin up on me or not playin once the track was loaded. So I downloaded and am listening to it now on WMP.

I let this play in the background as I did a few things and now I wanna ask- Have you ever seen the movie Lost Highway by David Lynch? That's what alotta this reminded me of. Seein someone drive down an empty 2 laned southwestern freeway at night. Surrounded by pitch black and the only illumination coming from the headlights and the scant few stars in the sky. Cool atmos man. Lates!

the strings mixed suprisingly well with the sax, good times

I looooooooooooooooove the guitar in this song. I have a soft spot for ...ambient guitar sounds, haha! This song is so pretty sounding :]

brilliant track,smooth guitars and very chill.....
when i´d listened to the end i thought ....
oh my god,what a cinematic tragedy and i hope he did not crash his brand new Mercedes Benz....hope you´re still alive...
take good care,PC
