When I listen to music, either here on Looperman, or some big time artist, I like to try to identify the influences. Whether they're obvious or very subtle and hidden a few layers deep. It's like a game to me. I suppose some people might take it as me taking away from their hard work and originality. But I assure you, when I point out these potential influences, it's absolutely a compliment. I'm saying "this is good. Good like..."
With that being said, in most of your work that I've heard, Dire Straits seems to come up the most. In this song, the vocals sound like Elvis Costello in the style of Mark Knopfler. Which, is really pretty cool.
The music itself is very pleasant, and heartfelt. I like the guitar solo quite a bit. It almost has a Jerry Garcia ring to it. Not only in style, but tone as well.
With music of this quality, I can see why you've released an album. I imagine it will do well!
Take care.

This one is a classic

Hello BaoBou, you've put together a very sweet and warm piece of music...its very well done and has a great story as well.....great job my friend.

Hello - what a sweet, heartfelt song - superb, emotive and warm. Love the electric guitar solo. V Well done Kay

Sweet and warm, like a hug or a kiss to small creature, a child. How different the world would be if children were always kept protected by their dads or moms, like in your song. And how different would the world be if we all could see through the eyes of a composer that writes songs for them.
Very very well done, soon I will check on your album too.
My best regards, Anthony

Almost missed this one.
Shame on me because this one is super!!!
Je stem klinkt hier mooi vol.
De lyrics zijn ook cool.
Nice vibe.

Excellent song writing, played with joyful finesse and a beautiful vocal performance - Im sure its not just my imagination but that you are very consistently getting even better and better . Talent plus persistence equals excellence hey

Great Job !

You're a really great writer, musician and producer. I can imagine this track stripped down and slower as well as with full orchestral's and backing. Maybe great songs have this malleable quality to inhabit different spaces through universal sentiment's, this does that. I have some written material this has inspired me to pick up again, these are my most personal works and with permiso it would be valuable to share them before they enter a public arena. Wishing wellness and full bodied creative drafts.

Hello BaoBou, I throughly enjoyed your track, it's a great portrayal of a man's journey to his chosen one....the musical accompaniment was well done with keys and alwaus present guitar backing the journey as well. The whole story is well told......great job.

Soothing with a sense of lonesomeness and longing. Same reasons I love Colin Hay. Well done.

This has a southern American Rock feel to it, like V.Driver said I can hear Bob Seger, but perhaps even later Allman Brothers or the newest Generation of Lynrd Skynyrd, which is very different than old skynrd, but still very southern and distinct. And of course, I hear your own distinct sound, as well. And that's just the connections my brain could make - it's also it's own kinda thing. IDK about country, at least in the modern American sense, most of it is mind numbing and (to me) mildly infuriating. This is none of those things, thank the Pantheon of Music Deities lol. I'll be glad to hear how this one progresses

Good tune my friend especially that you said it is work in progress, you kind of feel in motion while listening to it. If you happen to take the train in France you may getting a lot more time for composing than you expect (strikes, delays, natural disasters, ...)! Just kidding, making music while traveling sounds like a lot of fun. I should try it someday.

Well it is a very beautiful song that I could listen to, more than once. I liked the lyrics too, that make it so real to my imagination. Very well done Bao, poly alithino kai eyaisthito
Best wishes, Anthony.

Hiya Bao,
This track has such a reflective mood and such sweeettt! melodies combined with the lyrics is absolutely sublime!...Keep up the BRILL! Work. Kudos!

Much better listen this time. I could hear your lovely melodic, subtle and slightly yearning guitar licks. You really are a very good lyricist to boot.

I was thinking again about train songs. The other one that comes to mind and is a fav is Dylan's Takes a lot to laugh, takes a train to cry. Have a good one BB

yeah you can never make out what the train info says when approaching a station lol great track well done. :)

Top song writing again and vocals so good and clear in the mix. Suits the mood I always get sitting in a train tho the other train song association that comes to my mind is The Who's 5:15 off quadrophenia but that's a different kettle of fish. By the by, your writing reminds me of The Humps here in looperman but he hasn't been around for a while unfortunately.

You are a wonderful lyricist - the emotion is created within 3 seconds from the Marrakehs and your voice -The elec guitars heighten the emotion to another level and contrast beautifully to your voice, so full of raw feeling. You are v talented Kay0s

I love this beat

First i wanna thank you for your compliment..just when you make a comment i didd change the track because iik dacht dat hij niet goed genoeg was maar nu heb ik ''your such a fool'' weer terug gezet lol
Ik blijf even in onze taal.
Ik vind deze beat heel mooi en lekker rustig .Je stem klinkt er heel mooi op.
Good work again.

It is a beautiful rocking theme dedicated to humans struggling with the inability to go through that door. It's their world and it's ours. Yet, you never know what happens the next day, you never know. You used this way to express your sympathy to a man and I think it is a good way. Raw feelings transformed to music and lyrics. Very well done. Lots of wishes to your beloved person.
My best regards, Anthony.

Hello BaoBou, good track my friend, nice dedication piece to your friend....it has a nice piano opening and guitar accompaniment....like the vocals as well. I really hope for the best for your friend also.
