JAI26

I just checked it and noticed you sent it on July 11th. I truly apologize for missing it! I had to create a Gmail account because of my Android phone, since I need it to log into the Play Store and other services. I dont really get any notifications on it, so other than that, I honestly dont even think of it as an email account. Sorry about that!

Maybe you sent it to my Gmail. I hardly ever check that one, though. My main email is the Yahoo.com one. Sorry about that!

I cant play any real instruments, haha, so I hide behind my vocals. You can imagine how much I envy people who can actually play instruments!
This is really great, James! I really enjoyed it.

What's awesome to me is watching you during all these stages of your journey into music,
Its very rewarding to me

Beautiful music. Really enjoyed listening.
Great job!

Nothing beats real hardware and tactile control! Recording this live gives the drum grooves and synth layers such a raw, organic warmth. That sax and flute arrangement over creates an incredible laid-back atmosphere. Outstanding work, bro!

Hello JA126, lovely piece my friend...very well done as well. A nice peaceful listen.

Hi James! The key of your track brings such pleasure to my ears. I agree F# is perfect for chill out genre (in my opinion). This choice of instruments, FXs and light drums creates a haven of peace in my soul. Very beautiful track and the whole thing is great!

oh bro im ready to cry bcs of this

Love the airy mix. Guitar is probably one of my favorites for hiphop beats also, so versatile. The 2000s had so many legendary samples that shape music today. Great job on this track JAI26.

i never got the chance to listen to papa roach in my formative years but i still knew straight away what u were referencing from the title lol. cool track man

Foot stomping from start to finish good guitaring man quality track i enjoyed my listen :)

Well you got me hung, I got no idea what you're all talking about. But the track sounds great!

Love the play on words with the title! Instant nostalgia blast right here. That classic early 2000s riff energy comes through loud and clear, and your take on it sounds fantastic. Great tone on the guitars and awesome driving rhythm throughout. Pure rock nostalgia done right!

Hello JAI26, I enjoyed my listen....its a good rock piece.

Trust me, I already knew that im in the minority with this one lol. This song is the song equivalent of 50 cent - despite numerous attempts, it just won't die lol. Nah im just being silly bro. Its really just that I much prefer 'Getting away' cuz it just spoke to me more. Youre right, one of the best things about music is that something one person loathes might be beloved by another. While they both enjoy the same music otherwise lol. Or the opposite. Yet still collaborate to make superb music. Its the nature of music.

lill pappa roach i take it

Great work, rock is always a genre that describes emotions so well. You did an excellent approach to this song and the result is beautiful and expressive.
I liked your track.
Best regards, Anthony

I love that song and you really did nice homage to it.
Great job! I enjoyed flasbacks from the past.
Cheers!

Well it wasn't a subtle hint or anything lol. I personally really liked a few of their other songs but never the one your paying homage to - Last Resort. That had alot to do with my own guitar playing and my own band because it was the progression in particular I disliked. I cant deny the songs popularity or longevity, tho. Hearing how something influenced someone is always interesting to me. I like your approach

Yea lol. I kno wat it is

Meditative and peaceful track. Really enjoyed my listen. Lovely, well done. Bobo.

It's beautiful as it is, JAI26, melancholic and deeply emotional. The instruments are kept subtly present yet vibrant when needed, and the expressive sound you have used is, I think, a big part of what makes this track so successful.
Best regards, Anthony

The emotion really came through, and I honestly didn't miss the drums. But now that you've mentioned them, I'm curious to hear how that version would've sounded. Either way, this is a really cool piece, JR!

Cutting out the drums was definitely the right call, it lets the emotion in those guitars and strings breathe so much more! That "Shoe Gaze" preset has a really lush, ambient atmosphere, and the composition feels deeply cinematic. Sometimes keeping it simple creates the strongest response. Beautiful piece, James!
