Dime - You know what? I hope that retirement by the sea comes earlier than expected. Sounds pretty awesome.

Thanks man! You too!

Yo bro thank you for your feedback! I very appreciate it! Don't worry about Kiana's stuff, it's not the main thing and I'm not on the rush with it haha, take your time and recover bro, that's more important!
I really liked your collab, is that your vox? To understand what I mean I can suggest you to listen to the best (for me) Future Garage artist - Vacant. Particularly his track "Southbound (Original Mix)", approximately at 1:55 starts bridge with a speech, which makes the track soooo stylish and tough. I create music not fast and if I need your help I'll write to you right away bro. I appreciate such opportunities to be a part of music community and Looperman's one ofc. Thanks to ya!

Hi dimestop, thanks. I appreciate how you did what you did! I also liked your stuff, still do, well... since I became a member. Those are not coins dropping btw, they empty cases... but yeah, it doesn't matter too much! You have a talent and I definitely want to do some more! Thanks!

Thanks Paul, I'm glad you like it.

Paul What's really good? It's dinner time here in central Illinois. I've been out for a good portion of the day and the heat's be heating LOL! I know you guys on that side been having brutal heat recently. Manuela and I have been e-mailing back and forth and she's telling me they are experiencing hot hot hot too. Stay cool and hydrated Bruv. I count on you to stop thru and check out what I'm up to. I'm not there yet with this track. I'm working on it as there's a certain something I'm after. I promise I will nail It. I highly appreciate you as a fellow comrade in music and a true friend in life. You think England is gonna put DR Congo to rest? We will definitely see! Thanks for your eval and compliments on my track.

Cheers paul for the big up much appreciated man i am looking to get 6 tracks like this done then i will present them to my youngest daughter she turned 13 last week and this is the type of music she is getting into so hopefully she will like them like you guys did thanks again man :)

Thanks for tuning in!
Scratches are very fake, but I'm sure you could hear that:)

Dime, thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful feedback. It really means a lot.

This Looperman community has been great so far, and I'm really enjoying being a part of it. If I remember correctly, the loop creator is from France, Richard is from Nigeria, and I'm in the United States. It's amazing that the three of us were able to create this track together from different parts of the world.

This project was a lot of fun for me, and I'm grateful I had the opportunity to be a part of it. I hope to collaborate on more projects like this with others in the future. Thanks again for taking the time to listen and leave such an encouraging comment.

My dear brother, thank you. Your words are deeply humbling.
A few years ago, I worked at an IDP camp in Maiduguri, Borno State in the north eastern part of Nigeria during the height of the Boko Haram insurgency. Every morning when I arrived, the children would rush to the entrance to welcome me. They barely let me make it to the small room that served as my office. This went on for months because we made sure to spend time playing together, and every Friday I always brought enough sweets and biscuits for everyone. I think the candy made them want me around all the time haha, amazing kids they were.
The truth is, those children gave me courage and joy. Even though it was a very dangerous environment at the time, their laughter, smiles and resilience taught me far more about life than I could ever have taught them. That is why I chose to open the song with childrens laughter, to remind us of the innocence, hope and joy we should cherish for as long as we can.
Thank you as well for your unwavering encouragement and for seeing the heart behind the songs. If there is one thing I pray never changes, it is that every song continues to point people back to our Lord.
I am honoured to call you both a friend and a colleague. Your support has encouraged me more than you probably realise. Thank you, brother, and may God continue to bless you richly.
Also, I apologise for the late reply. My wife and I are expecting our second baby any day now, so I have been busy doing daddy duties, hospital visits and running around getting all the baby essentials. It is such an exciting time, but I would be lying if I said it is not a little stressful too. I have even taken my one-month annual leave from my 9 to 5 so I can be home full time and be there for my family.
How are you coping with the back pain? I pray the Lord restores your health and strengthens you. Please know I keep you in my thoughts and prayers here as well.
Lets continue to keep each other in prayer, brother.

It is always a challenge to mix the music to make it sound professional. I am very glad it worked out well on this track. EDM is my go to and some things are often the same. This makes it easier to get the right sound. Very happy you like it!

Thank you Paul :)

Aww thanks Paul ;)

Yeah! I downloaded the track from here, I heard it while skimming the Featured Tracks page! Always fun to dabble in other genres!

Thanks a lot! Yeah, nice to be back and see all the old gods still around, hahaha! It is nice to hear that you liked the track. Always fun to hear fresh opinions on the done work.

My friend thank you very much for your so kind comment !! Cheersssssssssssssss !

Thanks Paul, glad you like this one. Wanted to do my own lyrics, you use to penn, I set behind my DAW and recorded the phrases, nothing on paper, just wrote down the sentences in a lyrics track after the words got recorded, even the radio part just sprout from my brain, needed only two takes for that. A strange mind I have, able to create texts like this but not a decent sentence about "feeling" things ;)

I appreciate you opening up like that, brother. Thats a heavy story to carry, and Im sorry you had to go through so much loss and recovery. The fact youre still standing, still creating, still present with your kids and grandkids says a lot about your resilience. I hear no bitterness in you, just honesty and depth. Respect to you for that.

You know, Paul, I first heard the word "sciatica" from my wife towards the end of her first pregnancy. Before then, I had never even come across the term. Trust me, as an African, words are only important to us when our survival depends on them, if you know what I mean. Looking back, it's possible she was dealing with a different kind of pain and figured that anything that intense had to be sciatica.

Anyway, I brought that up because when you mentioned it, I went and looked up the common symptoms. Man, just reading about it made me uncomfortable. If a few paragraphs can make me not want to continue reading, then I honestly can't imagine what it's like having to live with that kind of pain in your own body.

Now, I think you and I both know I don't have the power to heal anyone, and I don't believe any of us do. But I do believe the One who made us knows us better than anyone else ever could. So the best we can do is take our requests to Him honestly and sincerely.

After all, He said in Matthew 7:8 that everyone who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. To me, that means we don't have to approach Him timidly. We can come confidently and lay our burdens before Him.

After seeing your message, I pulled out my little worn-out Bible, the one I always run to when I need to hear His words. I read Luke 10:19 and Psalm 23:1-6 with you in mind. And since you invited me to pray along with you, I used your name specifically when I prayed. I asked the Lord not only to heal you, but also to walk with both of us and continue guiding us through this life.

Just so we're clear, I'm no pastor or priest. I'm simply standing with you in spirit, believing that God's healing isn't limited by distance, circumstances, or anything else. In a way, I read those verses as though I were Paul, the one dealing with the sciatica. Maybe when you have a quiet moment, you can read them yourself and spend some time reflecting on them.

I pray the Lord becomes your shield and your protection. I pray He takes you under His mighty wings and heals you in a way that leaves no doubt about where the healing came from. And when that day comes, not if but when, I hope you'll give Him all the glory.

One thing I've learned the hard way is that the secret to getting through life is found in the very name the world often overlooks: Jesus.

So that's my prayer for you, my friend.

Amen.

hello dimestop,

thanks a lot for the positive feedback, it's really appreciated! i don't sing on this one, i let this part for singers who have voice quality lol

Thanks Paul, I'm in a age that I no longer bother about future consequences. When I add vocals it's not to get famous, it's more as an example what it could become with the touch of real singers. I deliver the idea, for others to use it or not. ;)

Thank you for the lyric appreciation - that means shed loads to me - Oli is so intuitive with musical interpretation so we are lucky, in that respect - Glad you got the humour ;)

Hey Paul! Thanks for the support! We have 7 vocalists, so What we try to do is feature 3 of the 7 in every song. The first album featured 3 much more than the others so we tried to balance that out more on this album
