Thanks!

Thanks Slimm! Poke with a stick, throw a rock at it, get an RV boat.... lol.

I was wondering if anyone would mention Stand By Me as it did come to mind as I was penning this one. It's a little dark I suppose but not meant to be, it just has that "off" sort of feel to it.

Wayne

Thanks, glad you liked it!

Wayne

Ha!

Thanks Rita, glad you liked it!

Wayne

Appreciate the kind words!

Wayne

Thanks!

This one came together and I was surprised myself by the overall sound and feel of it, a happy accident as my favorite painter Bob Ross would say. I wasn't going to add any vocals at first because it was different sounding and I liked it. I didn't want to mess it up by adding vocals.

Alt/rock but no genre here. That Nick Cave is such a bad seed. sorry.lol

Wayne

Thanks Paul!

An interesting subject matter for a song I thought.

Hey, check out this hour long lecture from Gresham College that a professor, Carolin Roberts, gave about the science that happens when a body is found in a river. She is a specialist, it's pretty interesting.

I watch a lot of lectures from universities all over the world about interesting topics, mostly scientific. Weird subject matters can inspire interesting songs.

Thanks!

Working hard is a pretty good excuse to miss this one, hope the job is working out well!

Thanks Paul!

Cool man, glad you liked!

The waveform is mostly because of the bass, it moves out the whole song and I wanted it to be the main instrument in the song. It does have an old school vibe, 50's feel to it but modernized and rocked up a bit more.

Glad you laughed at a man in a mid life crisis with a scandalous woman he randomly meets. Like an episode of Married with Children with Al Bundy. lol

Wayne

Tried to keep the song wide open for the lyrics, was commented on my previous song to leave more room for the vocals so I went overboard leaving the mix open for the vox, he.

It turned out good, fun. Got a decent response to the humor in it while trying to keep it sounding serious at the same time.

Thanks Joe! Haven't seen you around much, be well man!

Wayne

Everyone at the show drinks for free, I sound better that way.

Thanks!

Hello Seelengold, thanks for swinging by!

I did not Mr. Humphries till now, nor his song. When I first think of a KC song it's by Fats Domino, the classic.

You and the character in the song have fond memories of KC!

Wayne

It's supposed to be more fun than sad. Maybe it is more of a crazy, once in a lifetime experience.

Cheers!

I write music for me to enjoy. If others do than that's a bonus to me. If I put something together that isn't working for me than I know others probably won't dig it either.

I like writers that write simple straightforward songs like Eddie Spaghetti of the SuperSuckers or John Prine and Johnny Cash. Telling good stories comes across as honest music if you can get the listener to buy into the story you are selling as the singer.

Thanks Mr. Jynxz!

Wayne

Glad you liked it! Plenty of humor in my songs, hope someone picks out the most obvious bit of humor(hint, it's at the end of the lead).

No, not autobiographical, ha!

Wayne

I've been on stage where fights have broken out, things being thrown, people falling down.... fun memories, lol!

It is what it is.

Thanks Paul!

Cool man, glad you liked it! Thanks!

Wayne

sometimes you throw out the rule book and you make decisions by your testosterone level, ha!

Now here is somebody who understands what I am trying to do here. You've been keen to my musical intentions over the past years, I can't fool you. ha!

I had the guitar sound and how I wanted to play it in my head for a week before I even started the song or picked up the guitar. Then it went together like it wrote itself.

Pretty happy with it.

Cheers!

Thanks!

I went so extra gritty with my vocals I kept throwing out my voice after every couple lines. Had to cut back a bit so I could actually finish the song.

Take care!

Wayne

I can improve any of my songs I upload but if you could be more specific of what you felt needed improving that would be more helpful.

Thanks for stopping by!

Wayne

On every song I consider editing any of my instruments to accommodate the vocals. Been there, done that, a million times. But the song dictated to me to let the guitars rip. Nothing interferes with the vocals that I can hear and I can understand every word clearly in the song. Also the guitars are panned very wide, 35/50.

And I did give the lead guitar a break for the listener, between 1:30 and 1:33, lol. And that's all I intended giving the listener!! I'm not a guitar player, I'm someone who can play the guitar, there's a difference. I'm proud of the guitar, it's fitting I think and the sloppiness of it and cool gritty sound with a few stingers was too good to cut, it needed to be there, in my opinion.

But I do honestly appreciate the positive feedback. Thanks for stopping by!

Wayne

Thanks man!

I didn't have in mind vocals for this one, I like how the instruments fill the space without words on them. Just a quick, simple musical idea.
