Acidic, first my thanks for the wonderful tribute. Second, epic work my friend!!! Like Patricia said, this one would be awesome with some great rock vocals on it. I could see this one as part of a soundtrack on a movie or used in a video game. Outstanding effort from start to finish. You had the old Bear hopping all over the place, haha.
Ahh, smooth, smooth track....a bit techno, a bit chill, and even a bit RnB. Any way you slice it, you have a terrific track. Love the modulation on the chords, really nicely done. You should be proud of this one, it is outstanding work. Hope all is well.
This one would have worked really well in the Nintendo Zelda series....as Dan said, everything fits together perfectly and in the end, that is all any of us can ask for. Looks like you have figured out Reason pretty well.
Thank you, your reviews are very appreciated ! Your so kind too :) :D
And yeah, at the beginning it was pretty hard to catch how Reason works and I didn't really know witch style was the best for me. With practice I finally found my style. :P
I think this qualifies as dub/cinema....a new genre perhaps. I like what you have done here. I think the idea of some dark breakdowns is good, perhaps even some subtle pauses would add to the suspense (just 5 seconds of silence in the right spots). But that is just nit picking. A really well done track for sure. I enjoyed it. I hope all is well.
It's fun to go back and listen to some of your older tunes, and this one is especially nice since it is the season :)
Absolutely beautifully constructed and orchestrated. It shows your compositional skills off nicely. A great tune to listen to with my hot chocolate tonight. Happy holidays Wayne. I hope all is well.
Hey Bear, Happy Holidays! One of my first attempt at using loops and is one of my most dl'd song.??? haha, oh well.
The beach has been fun and I've made many friends and met a bunch of musicians down here. It was 80 degrees the other day and this morn it's 38. brrrrrr, lol! In the 70's almost every day, not bad for winter weather and no shoveling snow!!
Pat Benatar move over, there's a new sheriff in town. This is outstanding work, really really well done. Great driving drums, great guitar work, and stellar vocals. It just does not get better than this.
I see you are having a tough time commenting. Maybe send Shan (admin@looperman.com) an email and tell him your difficulties and he can get things sorted for you.
Great effort here. I really enjoyed it. Happy holidays.
Hey Brillbilly, thanks for the diversion! Sometimes it is good to just sit back and let the rhythms take us somewhere else....this one seems alive, the drums like a racing heartbeat.....
really, really well done. I'm glad you keep writing music, and especially glad you share it with all of us. Hope all is well.
Thanks for stopping by Bear it's always a pleasure to hear from you :)
Yes I think this will be, eventually, a TBK track but we got 2 more in front of this one but I wanted to share the instrumental with the Looperman community, in fact it's exclusive to here!
Ahhh, another master's class in mixing :) Talk about putting everything where it needs to be, you flat nailed it. Crystal clear and as ggarris said, "GROOVIN"!!! Sometimes a one word review really describes a piece to a "T".
Simply awesome work. I haven't been by for a while, so this one was a real treat. And I really like the split percussion. It works perfectly.
Hiya Bear all is good with me thanx & I hope it is with you & yours? Man what a lovely, positive review and I really appreciate it. Made my day reading this. Thanks my main man.
Peace, Love & respect.

I think what impresses me the most about your work is that you are fearless. You can move seamlessly through just about any genre and make it look effortless. Like the others, it would be great to hear your amazing voice on this one, but as an instrumental it stands on its own quite nicely.
No critique here. Only respect. I hope all is well.
*humbly bows head
you are far too kind, bear. i am anything but fearless ((more agoraphobic and perpetually anxious, actually lol))...i just love music of all kinds and my grandiose nature makes me want to write it all, preferably well.
if i had your musical talent and ability to play, however, i would be polishing one of my many grammys right now.
thanks again, friend...your listen and kind words are greatly appreciated :)
This is like one of those big old luxury cars...builds nicely until it reaches the speed you want and then, oh man, is it good!!!
There are some magical moments in this one, especially around the 2:50 mark on. I loved everything about this one from the vocals to the pads to the nice playful arpeggios.
Freaking awesome work and definitely a must listen for people. Well done! I hope all is well.
Nelson, this is BADAZZ from start to finish. This one got my motor running this morning....my motor, my neighbors' motors, their neighbors' motors, hahaha. Nothing better than to have it cranked to 11!
Not sure what old JWSawgrass is smoking, but most people could only wish they could produce music this good.
I think you could compose in any genre, and the end result would be outstanding. Nothing to critique here (other than wanting it to be a bit longer). I liked everything about this one and could see this in a video game, or on the big screen.
Really, really nice work. I hope you and your family have a great holiday season.
There is a reason you have a picture of yourself playing the bass.....YOU CAN FLAT PLAY THE BASS!!!! hahaha, seriously great stuff my friend. Nobody does it better. Hope you and the family have a wonderful holiday season.
Bear, Bear, Bear...thanking you.
if the only criticism you could come up with was it needs to be longer, i am a happy girl ((btw: this is just the demo...the album cut is about a minute forty longer)).
really appreciate the listen and review...so glad this song is getting good reviews. its now one of my favorites.
Exceptionally well done. The fact it has 14 downloads and only two comments is a bit troubling.....but that seems to be the nature of the Loop as of late.
Anyway, if they like it enough to download, then I guess that means they liked it a lot, and so did I. Really well constructed, well mixed, and just a terrific production. You have skills young Jedi :)
Thank you again for your very kind and much appreciated comments.
Since I found looperman a few months ago I have learned an awful lot but am still on a steep learning curve, so to get comments like these I am immensely grateful for and it can only give me more confidence in what I am doing.
I don't know much about hip hop, but I do think this is a really unique approach....orchestral hip hop, pretty cool. I know a lot of beats use strings, or brass, but they don't take things to the level you have.
I think this shows real innovation and I too would love to hear someone put a few verses over it. Really well done.
Hey Tim, outstanding effort here. I'm not sure many people realize how difficult it is to "build" a song around a pella. It is even more difficult to develop one that is as seamless as this. When it sounds like the vocals were written to fit the music, you know you have done your job and done it well.
Absolutely flawless. Mix is spot on, and the chord progressions are fantastic. This one could be playing on the radio. I enjoyed the listen.
Hope all is well and that you and your family have a wonderful holiday season.
You are such an immensely revered and respected person and musician here that I am honoured that you have taken the trouble to listen to and comment on one of my tracks. I am still very much in a learning stage, both for playing instruments and for recording and processing them but enjoying it greatly.
I thank you very much and wish you and your family a fantastic Christmas also.
Hey John, seems a shame to have 22 downloads and not one single comment, so I'll simply say beautiful work. This is absolutely gorgeous in every way possible. And the letter, well it is as heartfelt as the music.
On behalf of all of those who downloaded your track, I'll say thanks for sharing. Maybe the next person to download could say thank you as well.
While the electronic and hip hop genres outnumber the rest by 10 to 1 here, it's nice to have a change of pace as well.
Really nice tune, good vocals, excellent guitar work. Nothing to hang your head about.....be proud of this one. I look forward to more from you. Welcome to the Loop.
I think a lot of those rodeo guys would probably listen to your music and say "Oh what it must be like to do something so exhilarating day in and day out." You have mad skills JT.

It was the only way i could find a place that eased my mind from thinking negitive thoughts!
Music can convey a message,but it also has that ability to take the mind to places without pain!
This track really sums up just how hectic and fast paced life can and how quick things can change!
Thank you for taking time to post comment bear!

My dad always told me you can't sing or play the blues unless you've been there. The emotion comes through on this one.

Beautiful work by a really, really talented lady. I hope you have a great holiday season.
