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

I have no idea of Colin Hay but that sounds like someone I need to hear! Thank you so much for your lovely comment!

The song should be on streaming next week and now already on bandcamp!

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

Thanks so much buddy. You're right, it's a bit Americana/Jackson Browne/Little Feat kind of feel - you might be too young for that and it might not be your taste but those guys had some amazing music that I think survives 50 years later. Oh and btw there's of course the link between Lynrd Skynrd and the Dutch, so that makes sense too :)
(Maybe Tom Petty is also a reference)

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.

Hahaha It's interesting how we all complain. I live in the UK and everyone hates the trains (expensive and delayed), my friends in the Netherlands do the same, the French do the same, the Germans see their rail empire fall apart... but you know what, I will always love the French trains and seeing the SCNF always gives a bit of joy to my old heart. And I need to visit Paris again soon, because I need some decent food.

Being in America, the "Country" genre must be something different than where you're from, friend. I almost didn't click on it because of that. The only music I absolutely abhor is American country western. But, to be very clear, that only goes back to the mid to late 70s. Anything before then was good. It's all the crap after then that I can't stand. Totally beside the point, really. What I actually came here to say was that this is a great song. It's like someone took Jackson Browne, Dire Straits and just a touch of Lou Reed, mixed them all up and slid it across a Bob Seger album just for that final garnish.
Yeah, this is a good one. You should definitely be proud of this one.
Take care, mister.

Jackson Browne is a good shout! In University I had a room mate who'd done a year of US high school and college and he had picked up artists like Browne and Little Feat who you didn't hear much in Europe (I'm Dutch). It opened my mind to a different kind of music, and it's funny to see some elements still occasionally popping up in my songs.

I don't really care about music categories (my category is BaoBou) but I chose "country" because when I wrote the song without an instrument, I sort of pictured me singing it with an acoustic guitar or maybe a semi-hollow with a clean sound.

Then when I finally had access to instruments a couple days later, I first made a quick demo with the piano... And it stuck. It's indeed very Jackson Browne. Thank you so much!

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

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.

BaoBou replied 29th Jan 2025 - 10 months ago
Getting compared to the Who can't be a bad thing ;) I'll listen to that one though, I imagine it's quite different!

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

Ik blijf even in onze taal.

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.

When your lost in your own even if the door is open its hard to walk through the door you can have everybody in the world there to help but if your that low its hard to even hear or see the help in saying that it takes that person to reach out to get that help but its hard. i hope your friend eventually pulls through its a horrid quagmire to be in.

your tune hits all the right places another well thought out tune.

Alan Parson's Project is definitely a good shout. I've thought about calling myself the BaoBou Project :D
The strings is also a good one, I'll give that a look! I didn't want them too overpowered, but a bit more won't hurt! Danke!

Heart felt and powerful "The door is always open, but you can't escape" I hope the person in your life can escape the torment and troubles that have beset their life at the moment. I understand sometimes you can only say things best in song.
