I wasn't even sure the recording machine was still going to work after nearly five years... Certainly, bits of me don't work anymore... But, surprisingly, I got this done in 24 hours, start to finish... Strange old world…

Fresh breeze on Lake Superior
And waves collide with the shore
The sailor must be watching
For gusting wind we can’t ignore
Loose the main, correct the healing
Point the bow to the wind
Recognize the peaceful feeling
In this sacred…
You know this story the apple tree, the snake.
it takes Hope and latin drums to kill a snake
don't leave home without your hand drum and you will thrive
Wow. Amazing track. Starts all fairytale-like, then it evolves into something entirely different - can't make my mind up whether it's threatening or "hey let's party whether you like it or not"... but it's certainly insistent... And then I'm back home to fairytale land... but I feel slightly changed and not quite the innocent I was before... The tinkly little theme that I enticed me earlier sounds a little more sinister now.
Overall this one seems okay to me. The performance is pretty awful, but this song is all right. I don't like the transition from the first hook into the first verse. It feels awkward, but the second time seems better. Weird. Is it just a…
Cool chorus on this one... but you're right there's something... It really shines later on after the bridge- I like the interaction between the vocal, bass and guitar - really bounces. But earlier it doesn't have the same effect and I can't really spot the difference - except the later one is surrounded by instrumental and maybe feels looser? The earlier ones feel a bit "held back" and "correct", and they don't draw attention to themselves like the later one. They also leads straight into and out of a verse section that doesn't sound a lot different - maybe you're right, maybe volume? Maybe take the drums down on the sung verses? Something to make the chorus stick out more? But yeah, this is a cool one.
The desert heat can twist a mode as the ears suffer a mirage .
Twist twisted spin in the heat your senses are turned senselessly swirling octaves high
Made possible by Gibson’s brilliant P - 90 ‘s
Another voyage out into the unknown with my newly acquired guitar that I'm learning to play... The first part reminds me a bit of 'Will You' by Hazel O'Connor...
Lyrically it starts quite bleakly but goes on a bit of journey, ending on a positive…
Here's a new song.
Just me...

DJチーズ2600 approached So?ing Machine with some song seeds. Their care instructions involved atypical rituals. Once performed, songs rapidly sprouted forth. (This is one of them. You must sit and listen.) Then a guy in a suit leaned out of a helicopter…
I agree with Guest (47.189.109.204) - "you're not done with this one" - I think there's another version, somewhere between the original and this one. It's a gorgeous song.

I found this kinda challenging at first... so I listened to it again, (and again!)... and now I'm kinda "WOW!" about it. The melodies and chords are amazing.
Another song that doesn't really stand out to me. This one is a little embarrassing though. The tempo is set at 85 beats per minute. Originailly it was 95 beats per minute. Why did I change it? Because I couldn't pick the guitar part in the…

LOVE those sounds.
Oh yeah, smooth sounds.
And this gives me some release - but not loads! I was going to ask if it's an ebow, but it's not is it? Sounds like a real bow?
I find this one a slightly more challenging listen!
This one follows Hopey Changey really well
I listened to these the other day while I was doing something else... I forgot to come back and comment. This is a gorgeous sound.

Foot-tapping and exotic. Loving those p90 vibes.
Oh yeah, nice one.
Aha! Can't beat a falling bass line (I'm working on several things at the moment, and they've all got falling bass lines) ... Nice one, like it.
Intriguing sounds, quite a ride.
I agree with Guest (47.189.109.204) - "you're not done with this one" - I think there's another version, somewhere between the original and this one. It's a gorgeous song.
And a new verse! I listened to all three versions again - this is the one (which is probably a good thing, as it's the latest!!)
Oh yeah, I remember this from the other day on songcrafters. Love it.
Oh yeah, gorgeous sounds.
Cool sounds
Like I said - WOW!

Wow - those leads! Nice one
