Ha, yes that chord progression was a bit of a risk. Took me some tries to find a melody that worked with it! :D
But I felt it was necessary to have a bridge that put the listener a bit on edge before going back to calmer waters.

Ooh man, hope you're ok. A racecar is expensive (and my favourite palindrome) but our bodies are harder to replace or find spare parts for.

Well if it sounds like a real guitar then that's probably because it is ;) it's a Heritage 535 semi-hollow. It's my favourite :)

(I'm sure that's not what you meant, but for the avoidance of doubt, I play all instruments including the drums)

If you want to see it, you can see me play it here :)

Thanks a lot man. It's all played live, but the drums I play on a midi set and then it's EZdrummer 3 that gives it the great sounds. Works better than the actual live drums I've recorded, weirdly enough!

Thanks so much Richard, much appreciated!

Ooohhh Dire Straits is a great compliment. I've upgraded from Eric Clapton to Mark Knopfler!

Thank you so much man. Sometimes they flow!

Thank you so much! It was a really nice tune to play - sometimes a little nudge of inspiration is all we need!

Eyxaristw poly Antoni! Soon on a new EP "Ghost Notes" so check your Spotify a couple weeks from now ;)

Thanks very much Glenn, that always means a lot to me!

Muchas gracias amigo!

Thank you so much! I aim to please :)

Hvala priatelje!

Thank you so much!

Ohhh that's a good shout and one of my favourite tracks - although I prefer the Kuhla Shaker version. That's a huge compliment!

Hahaha geweldig. Briljante gitaar trws op dat nummer!

Eyxaristw poly Fani mou!! The track is out and by my standards it's doing pretty well, so I'm quite happy with it :)

For me any track getting more than 100 plays is a success, and this one is already halfway there - so maybe it might also cross the 1000 plays barrier :D

Eyxaristw poly Antoni! I'm quite proud of this one:)

Hah, that's interesting. The link doesn't work, but if you copy the link and paste it in a new window it does work.
I'll check with the looperdevs, it might be an anti-spam feature or maybe a tiny bug. Let's see!

Thanks for the compliments, they make me blush in a slight yellow hue :D

The melodies... I just jam until I hit something I like. Then the next day I check if still like it and if so, it's a keeper. No idea where there come from !

The chords is something I do on purpose. I have a special love for certain type of chord modulations, and I try to surprise myself every time. If I think I know where it's going, then there's probably a better solution ;)

for the mix, I'm learning! I used to have everything more or less in the same register but as I get more experienced I think I get a better feel for using different areas of the musical spectrum.

It doesn't always work, but when it does I think it also makes for better tracks :)

Thank you so much my friend. Chrysalis (I'm sure you knew) is the pupa stage between caterpillar and butterfly. Caterpillars are ugly, fat and hairy, then there is this time you can't see what happens and suddenly we have a beautiful butterfly.

I felt that this is sometimes how we grow as musicians or producers. We eat as much as we can, we learn, we try everything, maybe it's ugly, maybe it's hairy, but the wings of the butterfly are already present.

Sometimes all we need is a bit of time to reconsider, grow, rearrange our ideas, try something new and suddenly the chrysalis opens and a wonderful butterfly comes out.

I'm not that butterfly yet... but who knows what might happen and how I can grow in the future. For now I'll keep eating ;)

Grazie amiche! I'll admit readily your tracks are more professional... but it's not a contest right? All we can do is show that we had fun and I think that's audible in this track :)

Yes but your view is much appreciated :)

Thanks so much Glenn!
For you and anybody else who sees this, if I bring it out as a single, which cover fits best with it you think?
