Crazy rock jam, an interlude sorta. A little out of control musically which isn't a bad thing really. Mix could use some tightening up but it's a fun guitar shredder idea, nothing wrong with that.

Wayne

Driven To Tears by the Police comes to mind. Vox sound like Sting, bass has that same feeling. When did you kidnap him? lol. Sounds great!

Wayne

I enjoy all kinds of reggae and all it's offshoot genres. Fun song to listen to, upbeat! It has a Caribbean Island feel to it.

Nice job, enjoyed it! Fun!

Wayne

Huh, so this is afrobeat?

Devo was great, totally innovative musically and visually. Great job on the cover and the mix, even all the way around as far as volume levels. Fun percussion at the end, agogo maybe?

Hope all is well Mark!

Wayne

I think the vocal track is great, well performed recorded and mixed. I know this was a quick idea but I think with some more variation and some more music production you could have quite the song here.

Cheers!

Wayne

Needs some angry vocals. The mix is a bit loud/over compressed like Verdiqo mentioned, I had to turn the volume way down so I could listen to it. I t was pretty good after that.

Good rhythm section for a track that I would consider a starting point. It needs all the"jewelry" like vox, leads and fills, percussion and such but it's a solid idea. Cool!

Wayne

It's not bad, has some mixing issues but the idea is there. If you know someone who can sing I think vocals would help convey a stronger, more powerful message.

We have all deleted or recorded over something we never intended to but we all learn from it and maybe this will create a better version, who knows.

Wayne

Quite an epic you've created Leon, impressive! How long does it take you to put something like this together? Must have been a couple months. The mix is sweet, so many emotional turns and crisp instruments to guide me through listening to this.

The piano is just great, what else can I say.

Hope all is well, take care Leon!

Wayne

Such a cool, creative track. Interesting to listen to, so much going on.

Like cru mentioned, back off the compressor/volume on the master track, look to get -1.5 db below 0 db, it translates to mp3 better across all music formats and gives the track some breathing room, everything is competing for space in the mix.

I like it though, well produced and catchy piece of music!

Wayne

Coming to the conclusion that we are not perfect, life is freekin' difficult and most of our problems are caused by karma(our own actions) is a conclusion most people don't come to understanding. I realized it almost 20 years ago. I made some personal changes, stopped worrying about all the stories my head tells me and started living a happier life. Trying to be happy despite life's continuing barrage of hits, blaming others or seeking revenge wastes time and sidetracks you from what's important, music of course. ;) Stop and smell the roses as they say. Get on with life rather than be hung up on shit happening in your life, it's gonna happen no matter how much you worry about it or not. So don't. Just live your life and accept shit is gonna happen.

Your track is interesting, I like the space in the track, lots of breathing room giving instruments their spot in the mix. A little dissonance in there at the end, that's cool, it works.

Wayne

I like the acoustic guitar and the effects on it. The strings are cool. A change or bridge with bring some interest and a needed change. Real sounding drums would make the song sound better, fuller and bigger. Ditch the lame vocal hits and put some spoken word or a rap type lyric on it.

Good idea, just needs some work in the studio.

Wayne

Nice composition, the piano is sweet! Great job for everyone who played on this!

Feels like i'm sitting at a piano bar listening to live music. Well done!

Wayne

I agree, it did come out great, ha!

A little Pink Floyd, a lost memory of a childhood trip to the planetarium, a dream where you can't run fast and "they" are catching up to you at every corner...

Honestly, I'd pump up the volume a little more on the mix, my only suggestion.

Cool track!

Wayne

Very cool track man, great job on the vox! I like the idea, it's not overproduced and I think it will appeal to people across many genres.

To me, it's a little bass heavy as far as eq, i have old ears that ring so take that comment into account. ;) Maybe try a snappier kick and some more highs in the vocals. I have a low voice and I have to push the highs on the eq and filter off some of my lows because they interfere with the kick and bass tracks. Your vox track has similar qualities to my vocals.

I hope danke can add to the track, he's talented, can't wait for an update!

Wayne

I like the idea. Bluesy, r n b type song.

Mix could use a little work, maybe a little more reverb on the vox to help them sit in the mix a bit more, they come through hot in a few spots but sung with emotion and from the heart. Well done!

Wayne

Has a DePeche Mode feel to it, maybe even a little NIN. Not bad, different. Different is good.

Thought I heard "Put the lotion in the basket" in there, ha! ;)

Wayne

Reminds me of the Brand New Heavies. Clean recording, clean sounding vox, well done!

Wayne

This isn't that bad. I think the vocals could come up in the mix, making them a bit clearer.

I don't think it's weird at all. It falls under one of the electronic music genres listed here, don't ask me which one as it all sounds the same to me. But honestly, this is better than most of the same repetitive crap posted here daily.

Just my honest opinion.

Wayne

I feel the sweat dripping down my face as I sit in the bayou, swatting mosquitos and gnawing on a nutra-rat leg. he!

Keep having fun man and we'll keep listening to your soulful backwoods sounds.

Wayne

Nice laid back groove. Love the summer vibe. I was walking the beach this morning waiting for the summer sun and heat to get in in the summer swing but this track will do till then, thanks! Nice even mix!

Wayne

Ah! Very cool! Dig the bass line instantly. The gits are proper(shout out to the player) and played well, the horns are a nice touch as well, accents that make a different.

Groovy feel, upbeat and well put together, i can appreciate your ears!!

Wayne

Left me gasping for breath...

Cool track, well produced, fun, timeless. Lots of breathing room in the mix, not over compressed leaving the instruments to have their space in the mix.

Something I could hear in a movie set in the roaring '20's in America.

Well done!

Wayne

Hey Leon! Happy holidays bud!

Very pretty song and a quality mix as well. We all have our own interpretation of how someone else's song should be mixed as we listen, that's why we are here, to listen and learn and suggest. You have a musical sensibility I respect.

Cru mentioned dreamy and I agree with that. The drums remind me of a clock ticking, in my mind depicting a passage of time almost like when you are daydreaming when you are driving your vehicle and you come to your senses about a half mile down the road. Shocked and a little dazed, you find yourself wondering how much time passed while you were in your little self absorbed trance. ha

Title and description are poignant, crazy times we live in. Music like this is calming and centering. Well done!

Wayne

Cool, dig it. Vocals, something like a Curt Cobain or Johnny Cash, something with pain and emotion to match the acoustic.

Well done!
