Thank you so much matey! Appreciated!!

Haha, my daughter is not extremely receptive to my tracks, so while I might play it to her at some point, I'm also prepared for indifference or possibly embarrassment.
My girlfriend is pretty similar - often the best reaction I can get is "No we didn't meet in a cafe" but occasionally if she then says "I like that one"I know it's real. My daughter has never even acknowledged the existence of my music :D

I still love her to bits :)

Kalimera Fani! Ela re, I will call you Kyrios Fanis from now on to show respect ;) Eyxaristw poly for enjoying the track and let's cherish our daughters!

Thanks so much Kay! Glad you enjoyed it :)

Thanks a lot Mark! If you're interested, I redid the vocals and remixed it and then put it on streaming as part of my latest album. You can find them through my profile or here:

Great to hear... especially the comparison to Bowie is sort of a dream come true, even if it's only bits.

Thanks so much buddy!

Hello my Zooty friend! Thank you so much, that's a great comment!

Thank you so much Serrio! I love playing blues bars... but where I live there's usually no more smoking indoors. Better for my voice too ;)

Thanks Mike, that's a really sweet and well thought out comment! And yes, loss and missing is always a great source for lyrics (hug)

Dank je wel Rita! (hug)

Thank you very much Glenn! I'm not fully happy yet but with the better vocals I think it's going in the right direction! :)

Haha yes! Originally I wrote it as a piano only version but then as I was listening I grabbed my guitar and just started the power chords. BTW I've already changed the tempo a bit from the original (10ster). It really gave it a better energy I think.

Eyxaristw poly file mou! Nai swsta, by taking a couple steps back I hear better what worked and what didnt' The start and end need to be stronger but in the middle with a bit drums I think I'm really close.
regarding the viazomai, artsists often have ADHD and we suffer from a combination of procrastination and accepting the incomplete - but that is sort of what really works.
I have a process in three stages which is essentially Looperman -> Youtube -> Spotify.
Looperman: I accept it's a draft and just get it out there to get feedback
Youtube: some weeks later I listen again before putting it on youtube and clean up vocals and drums (usually that's the most urgent)
Spotify: I go over everything again, make a new mix, sometimes get a proper mixer involved, I really spend some weeks to fix all the details and get it out there.
With these three steps I feel I get the most out of it. It's never perfect, but I can concentrate on just writing and producing without being held back by trying to get it perfect.

Thank you so much! I poured my heart out in this one!

Eyxarstw. Yes, I used almost every scale I think: A, Ab, B, Bb, C, D, Db, Dm, Eb, F, G, Gm. Not sure why I had to make it so complicated but sometimes that's where your hands go! :D

I love the observation about the musical. You're right, it would definitely fit!
I also love your observation about the vocals. I totally agree and I also thought about re-recording them before posting but I wanted to focus on the structure for now. Especially the first bars and the intro totally deserve better vocals!

Muchos gracias amigo!

Thank you man. I've already adjusted the vocal a bit to make it less harsh!

Hvala Dan, much appreciated!

Spasibo!

Hvala Dan! Thank you very much for listening!

Thank you very much man. Your words are always much appreciated!!

Eyxaristw poly Antoni! I always find time for a little guitar solo, even though I'm now in my piano period ;)

Haha you got it! I like having sad lyrics on happy music and vice versa. The contrast adds something to me.
Hello from New Barnet btw. Playing live near London Bridge tomorrow!
