@Andrew I think I know what you mean. With the rate that information travels these days, I often find it hard to internalize and/or find a space to truly process and "feel" each event. Are we humanly capable of doing so? On top of that it's hard to hear my own true feelings and reactions above the chatter of the media, friends, etc. The footage this music was made for hit me hard. At the same time I was really annoyed with the announcers wanting to explain what was going on. I need silence when viewing something like this, a human talking over this footage is irreverent and shameful to me. Does that make sense? I made this piece of music because this is my silence, or put another way, an example of sound that hopefully respects the image by pulling the watcher in, giving them space to feel what this means and not babbling in their ear.

Hallo Sjoerd, dit klinkt weer fantastisch! Vandaag heb ik het nummer Stack O'Lee van jou op YouTube gezet. Ik hoop dat je er geen bezwaar tegen hebt. Groeten van Leodorus

An emotional and, I found, disturbing listen. I have to admit, news stories and footage of things like this often tend to pass me by, I seem not to get emotionally involved. I sometimes wonder why this is but I have no proper answer. I do get affected by some news stories, but not usually the big ones like this. My wife has been upset, but I've been left cold again on this one, until now. Listening to this piece has opened it up slightly for me, making it more... I don't know what... Many thanks for making this and posting it.

well well done,,,

Man your vocals sound so fine here Jim..........live band setting really brings out your best....

but deadly.........but seriously, deadly track guys

You made it to the top big boy.......top of the world......very deserved for this song..............when you make it to the top of Alonetone, thats high praise indeed.

cool track,, i like this a lot,,, was just thinking that if you had some midi 3rd world sounds, rainstick etc,,you could get a lot of neat variations on what is a very fine theme,, well done

yeah baby. we need to do this for mike on his birthday t.

very cool,,, great in all respects

very well done, emotional for an emotional time

Nice song. :)

That's a real beauty! Great stuff!

Consider my maw told :-) Nice one boys.

And a nice one to finish. The whole album is an excellent piece of work.

Big smile on my face listening to this. Superbly recorded vocals and guitars by the way.

Love Mozart , love this , excellent

Hey Nos , i like this track , it builds very nicely , also very rhthmic , nice one

I love this one.

Yep, you're right about it being a killer bass-line. The vocals are pretty stand-out as well :-) Initially, I wasn't sure whether your vocal delivery was fitting the songs, but this one showed me why it works so well. It's almost like we've got David Gates singing punk songs here... lol. The contrast really brings out the emotions in the lyrics. If you tried to sound "angrier" we'd actually lose some of the power...
