Dave, you always do it up right. The bass on this one is a lesson for all of us who own a bass, but never really learned how to play it the right way. I think a lot of people forget just how important that bass line is to everything else in a song. Zappo again illustrates his huge talents and Slap, well we all know how great he is.
This is the melding of three huge talents and the resulting product is perfect. I needed a little pick me up this morning and this one did the trick. I think I'll head off to the pool now for a cold beverage and a dip in the deep end :) Maybe Skanky Ann will be there in her bikini, hahaha.
Hope all is well. Downloaded to enjoy over and over. Thanks for that.
Hey Bear,thanks man!....you are way too kind but as your well aware of the more you get into an instrument the greater your understanding is of how little you actually know....your review is much appreciated my friend...cheers from the guys and me. Dave :)
This is by far, one of the best driving songs I've heard. Your vocals took this one way over the top and it is now burned to CD's and on the IPod and will be played loudly and proudly in my car, especially when following some little old lady with blue hair who feels the need to occupy the fast lane while driving 1/2 the speed limit, hahaha.
Patricia, you could sing the phone book and make it sound great. I knew you were versatile, but this shows that you can do anything and do it extremely well. Brilliant lyrics, brilliant vocals. This should be the anthem for our nation of commuters, hahaha.
Rarely does a song live up to its description, but this one does just that. I was able to see those trees and feel the emotion of that moment in your life.
Absolutely beautiful in every way possible. Sometimes we all need to just sit back, close our eyes, and let ourselves be part of a song. Thanks for allowing me that privilege.
And a huge thank you for the download. I will save this song for those times in my life when I need a little bit of peace and beauty. I hope all is well.
Thank you dearly for the gracious comment. Music for me is a way of expressing myself. What I can't always put into words, I just sit at the piano, and let my fingers do the talking.
Hey VSS, you have courage my friend. As has been said, most people stick to one genre or maybe two, but rarely move out of their comfort zone. I salute you!!!
Like Ed, if I went to a club, all I would do is check out the girls as well :) I did crank this one up this morning and gave the neighbors something to talk about, hahaha.....now all I have to do is put the paintings back up on the wall, hahaha. Great bass work on this one.
No advice here, just a satisfied listener and that is what counts most. Well done. I look forward to your next experimental dark house....house track. I hope all is well.
Hey Bear my friend, I hope you & yours are all well(all is good with me & mine with-in the greater scheme of things thanks)? Thanx for taking time out to listen & review. I love the fact we have circled the world and pricked up ya neighbours ears. That has put a huge smile on my face. I am trying to alter the way I work & produce stuff and hopefully will get there eventually. Knowing such talented individuals as your-self are listening and enjoying gives me the inspiration to keep on trying to do my stuff my way. Thanx again mate I really do appreciate your comments.
Well FR, not much gets me off my chair anymore, but this tune sure did get my fat #$$ up and moving this morning. I was going to attribute it to my coffee, but I think it was definitely your song that did the trick :)
I have no knowledge of this genre, but I do know good music when I hear it, and this falls into the category of great music. Very nice chord progressions, and I do love those pads and delayed piano.
Mix sounds great on my end as well. A definite 10 and a tip of the hat to both you and Romy.
When I see a collaboration with you and Richie, I always know it is going to be something special indeed....and I was not disappointed on this one.
Richie is an absolute genius and one of the few musicians who can reach the same level as your vocals. This is outstanding work (that bass line is just fantastic).
As Nick said, "We are not worthy."
But I'm glad you two share your talents with all of us.
It's always good to hear/read your comments, they are so inspiring!
I'm saving a dollar a day to find Richie and kidnap him hehe. Seriously though, I think I can speak for both of us when I say we are happy to share!!!!
Hey Bear...ive seen you around the block a few times and you apppear to not only be well known in the community but highly respected as well... i am very appreciative that you stopped by to listen and comment..it means a lot to me..
Nicely done....great mix, you really have everything sitting pretty nicely in the mix. The only issue I can hear is the vox are getting a bit lost in the mix when the harpsichord (possibly an accordion) comes in (at least I think that might be what it is, it comes in on the chorus right after the bell). Anyway, it seems to be occupying the same space as the vox and muddies things a bit. Other than that small detail, you really have nice spacing and great pacing throughout. I enjoyed your effort and can tell you put a great deal of time into the arranging, recording, and production.
Thanks. Believe me, when i downloaded his acapella from here, it sounded spectacular but when i tried to mix it with my song, it did not fit at all. First i had to compress the vocals because the lead was much louder then the backing and even the instrumental. And when i made it mono, it sounded to weak, but leaving it normal left me with a muddy sound. The accordion was 50% to the right. I had to completely hard pan it and it still didn't help. So my choice was either make it mono and have it sound kinda weak, or just leave the amazing vocals of RaRCharm at its glory. Obvious choice right? Hmmm. I wander if i could've found a middle ground.... Lol thanks for the love.
Wow, I am really impressed. Beautiful lyrics, beautiful guitar work and really, really nice vocal work. This is a song that is current and relevant and could/should be something the kids are listening to on the radio.
An extremely nice composition performed really well. When the bass guitar dropped, it was a special moment. Bravo.
I am a little late with this, but welcome to the Loop.
Thank you so much!!!!!!
Thats one of the nicest things anyone had said to me about this song.
Please download it so you can listen to it when ever you want
Thank you once more for those kinds words

I am often moved by music in many different ways, but seldom am I moved to the extent I was when I listened to this Patricia. This is so beautiful in so many different ways that words fail me now.
I do know that you have transformed a simple piano piece into something very special. I am officially retiring the original track, so my apologies to any who try to follow the link to my track listing.
You are amazing. All I can do is applaud your genius. Thanks for sharing your amazing gifts. I hope all is well.
Sometimes things can get cloudy, but there's one thing for sure and that is EVERYONE needs encouragement.
When I heard this I IMMEDIATELY DLd it and began working on it! I put aside the project I was working on and didn't even write down one word, they all just came to me!
That's when you know something is meant to be!!!
I am not the only one who is amazing! Your work speaks volumes on its own. Thanks a bunch Mr. Bear! This one was all my pleasure :-)
Well, I've been listening to some chilled music and enjoying my morning coffee, but now the caffeine is kicking in and I need something to go with it.....and this song is perfect for that.
Great driving beat that just sweeps the listener along for the ride. Production is stellar as usual.
A great way to get the pulse rate up my friend. Well done.
Thanks Bear, I'm just glad it didn't go for another round of Zero reviews and Zero downloads like it did when i first uploaded it. It did sound like c**p when i played it back again though. The LFO's were so harsh it sounded a bit like one of those old ferric oxide tapes when they got old and worn out lol.
It's funny you should turn up now as i found myself staring at the "get on the bus" rar file earlier and thinking "I was going to have a go at that wasn't i?" tsk tsk! Perhaps now would be a good time to start huh?
Thanks for dropping by and checking out this latest offering.

Absolutely beautiful. I have always loved the haunting sound of the Native American flutes and this piece shows why. You are highly skilled and it shows in this piece.
Thanks for the download as well. It will be a great addition to my IPod.
You're welcome! I appreciate your positive comments. I did modify the mp3 slightly and uploaded the edit so if you haven't gotten the most recent version you may want the new one, which is a little less dissonant toward the end.
Again, thanks for the track. (Hint, hint: the intervals on the 12-tone "circle of fifths" for a Native Style flute are 32232.)
Another stellar effort my friend. I really liked the section with the "rock guitar chugs" hit :) Very nice and a great way to start the day. And as always, superb bass line anchoring things.
Hey Neil, this one needs to be tagged "must listen with headphones"...the mix is stellar. The bass line really is the glue that holds this all together. Outstanding effort my friend. I really enjoyed this one.
Ahhh, it is nice to hear some of that Pink Floyd on steroids once again :) Looks like all the time away has cleared the cobwebs and created some space for some new material. I agree with Dave, a little additional bass and this one would be spectacular. As always, it is great to hear your work. I hope you have been well.
Christ, I need to clarify my statement, "your "house" tracks are the only ones I will listen to....the rest just don't cut it."
I listen to all of your music, not just your house tracks, and all of your music makes the "cut" :) I will only listen to the house genre on your profile because most house music by other people loses something for me in translation.
So I guess I am saying I love your work and am a fan...hahaha. I'm an idiot :)
HAHA! It's ok, I understood what you meant first time round, but I can see how a less egotistical person than myself could have misread the praise for criticism lol.. ;D
But to answer the first post:
You're very kind to say I'm ready for the big time, I won't lie - it is a secret ambition that I harbour, who knows, maybe one day eh? For someone who doesn't really listen to this kinda stuff to say those things has added weight in my opinion :)
I hope you know your "house" tracks are the only ones I will listen to....the rest just don't cut it. So, that probably would mean that you are ready for prime time. If you can convert me, you can convert just about anyone.
I'm a house noob, but this one has all of the right elements sitting in all of the right places, an absolute A+ on the production side of things.
Bravo maestro. Freaking awesome. Good to see you back.
Like Pat, I had a bit of a difficult time understanding the vox, but I think it adds to the psychedelic feel of the track. I'm from that generation and this brought back memories of laying around the dorm room and listening to Led Zeppelin. Outstanding effort. Your bass work is stellar.
thanks bear...its was just done for the fun of it, im glad you liked it and my bass playin cause thats what i do best, the guitars and vocals are extra at no added cost..hehehehe
Gents, these are some really spectacular drum loops....the sound is absolutely outstanding, and they show a tremendous amount of talent on your end. Absolutely outstanding effort from all of you.
Thanks for the kind words. Wouldn't have been possible without your loops to work from. If you ever want a drum track, or lick, or whatever don't hesitate to hit me up. I would love to collaborate on anything you might have.
Tower, this is really an amazing job....your arranging skills are pretty remarkable. They show a real genius. Thanks for putting those loops to great use. Your efforts combined with Patricia's vocal work provide an absolutely amazing piece of art. As has been mentioned before, the build is really special.
Love that acoustic intro....like you were singing along with the Eagles....but then it shifts gears and it's like SRV just sat down and decided to play along with you two :)
Definitely a great way to start my day, with two of my most favorite artists. I'm telling you, you guys need to take this show on the road. Everything about this one is just flawless. It is always a pleasure to hear your wonderful voice accompanied by such an accomplished musician.
Beautiful work Patricia and Richie. You say, "Tell me what's wrong?" On this song, absolutely nothing....it is PERFECT.
Very nicely done. When you combine the piano skills of Pedro and the fret work of Allen with your ability to arrange and produce, well you have a recipe for success. This is a wonderful display of Allen's amazing abilities. Wonderful effort and a great way to start my day.
Thanks Bear, This was great fun to do. I love having a bit of a mash up to see what happens. Sometimes it comes out bloody awful but every now and again it works. As hannibal smith says "I love it when a plan comes together"
I'm glad this got your day off to a good start.
Thanks for giving up some of your time to play this track.
FR.
Hey Coney, nice to have you back in the house even if it is only for a day or two. I like the way you come in quietly, drop an incredible track like this one, and then go back to life, haha.
Jesus bro, this is as smooth as soft serve (I love ice cream, hehe). Anyway, absolutely amazing. Mix is crisp and it has your signature on it....like getting a Mercedes every time and never having to worry about it. A great listen sir.
