Decent production, I can hear all the elements clearly. To me it has a mix of disco and the new wave music coming out in the early 80's(pet shop boys...). Well done Michael!
Hey Cam, I leave "imperfections" in my songs all the time so don't worry about that. To me it makes the song more real, more a live performance than some contrived piece in a studio with 40 punch ins to correct all they want perfect. This is real music to me.
With all you seem to be going thru the piece shows an emotional display, maybe a good time to do this piece. A release of emotion, in this form, can be good for the heart, especially now at the holidays. The song builds nicely, it's pretty, the piano is wonderfully played.
Yeah I know you're right imperfections. I could learn from the confidence you have in that regard. Stop stressing and fussing over every detail and let the thing speak for itself. Thanks so much for the listen as always buddy.
This is a cool listen and a real decent mix. There is a neat groove to the track, good track to let loop while on a walk. Gave it a few listens, great jam!
Hey Ed! Sorry I missed this one, was going through the first of 2 hurricanes when you posted this, power was out for days, just got my new roof put on. Hope you are well.
Sultry track, love the composition, nice breaks and some great instrumentation and playing. The vocals hit the spot!
Scary stuff on our tv showing some of the storm damage..can`t imagine what it would have been like..we just mostly freeze in the prairie blizzards up here. Glad you are ok. Don`t get much music time myself Wayne. Have quite a few I could post but I don`t like taking forever getting back to those folks thoughtful enough to leave comments.Good to hear from you and big thanks for the comments..Ed
What is not to like like about the track? There are great changes, great playing on all the instruments and the singing. What can I say that hasn't already been said by the looper family?
I like the little, subtle things in songs like this. For example, the sound of the ride cymbal, it was clear but not too loud, to me it sat perfectly in the mix. Also the way the lead guitars play together, it's intricate but if you listen closely, there is a lot going on. Good stuff!
Thanks a lot buddy. Always wonderful to read from you and you have seen quite a part of my journey already so that makes your notes even more valuable. Glad that it pleased your ears :)
The music almost reminded me of a cross between Pat Benatar and Huey Lewis, that time period like others mentioned. Drums sound great! Vocs have a lot of reverb on them but maybe that was your intention or maybe how they came. Decent track!
Hey wayne! it's not the voice that goes with this composition, but I wanted to post something on LM and I found this voice at the tempo but,,,, full of reverb, it's just for fun!
thanks for your stop and comment !

This is cool, needs "screamo" vocals, you know the low throat growling, Tibetan throat chanter level shizzo. Good dynamics, allows the singer to strut their stuff.
This is cool! I like the low end, being a bass player. Peppy number, a "pick up my attitude" type song. Makes me want to dance on a table top, ahhh, the good old days. he
Delighted to read you wanma dance, wayne. :-) Yeah, there are four bass layers interacting to give it some oomph. Reasons Europe synth, a Deepmind 6 sample and some Bassstation 2 samples too. Thanks for dropping by, mate.
Nice job with the dynamics of the song, the first part was slow, a bit melancholic. The second part showed me pain and anguish, it kept building to the end. The piano was great!
Hope things get better, they usually do. Life's full of ups and downs, good times coming!
Clearer mix. I can hear all the particulars a little more present. Pretty chilled out track, nice percussion throughout the track. This would hold up without the vocal parts, solid track. Great background music to paint a painting to, allows the mind to flow, wander.
This is cool, well thought out track. There are some nice changes throughout the song. Mix is solid. I feel this reminds me of late 80's bands like Pet Shop Boys mixed with Prodigy or New Order. Well done Pete!
I liked the track but honestly I felt the guitars at 1:10(and later on) were a bit loud in the mix, they overpower the vocals. I think the idea is great. The dynamics are real good and when the guitars hit they are impactful. Reminds me of Get Down Moses by Strummer and the Mescaleros.
Hey Wayne, thanks man, have reduced those guitars a bit. Far out just listened to the Strummer track you reference, what a great song. Loved the lyrics especially. Cheers Chris
The drums are impactful, the instruments you used are right out of the history books. Very tribal sounding, preparing for conflict, maybe. Would be perfect for a movie soundtrack for the time period you mentioned in the description or even earlier, back to the Picts. Now write a song about their iconography, he!
“Preparing for conflict”. That was very close, sir. Actually, it is about Odin trying to reach the gates of Hel by running from the guardian Garmr, thus avoiding the cocflict, but you bet he was prepared. The ocarina is Odin’s theme, the hurdy gurdy is Garmr trying to catch up. Odin made it, his eight legged horse, Sleipner, who can run in air too, was too fast for even Garmr.
We are pleased that everything intended with the tune, from period to narrative went straigth in to your perceptive mind, sir.

Is this a xmas song, it has some elements like bells that suggests it is. Dramatic, orchestral and even a little dark in parts. Well done!
