I've been looking forward to hearing this since you recently mentioned you were going to release a sci-fi themed song. This is some masterful FX wrangling. Where others may give up on the difficult task of keeping the FX from losing the beat, you've pulled it off with what sounds like a very disciplined approach to your rhythm elements. I can definitely keep movin' to this groovin'!

Love this song

Praise indeed from somebody who knows what they are doing with keyboards/synths. I appreciate your comments, and thanks for the vote of confidence!

Thanks DJ Ursine. The virtual guitar was the only freehand part of the track, and I wanted to leave it raw and unedited to create the contrast you noticed. I was tempted to edit it and phrase it better, but it might have ended up "too perfect " . I'm sure you know what I mean : )

It's always a challenge to take a song in two different directions moodwise, but it is well worth it, as demonstrated here. In addition to a catchy hook, you've given this song a heart and soul that draws the listener in by evoking the intended introspective mood. I think you've definitely conveyed both the outer and inner emotions you were going for, both in melody and composition. Favorited!

Very chill groove! I like the pulsed bass under the drum breaks. The lead guitar gives it an edge that contrasts with the more laid back feel of the groove. Nicely done!

thank you dear sir for commenting so kindly on my track (republic of bigfoot), I'm very happy to meet your acquaintance. Your music is interesting and reminds me of Deine Lakein or Depeche Mode or something in that genre, but unique and nice. I hope you will have great success as a professional musician.

Thanks again Tom, for commenting on my music. This is meant to be about someone who is encouraged to be upbeat and happy and enjoy life, while privately they are thoughtful and confused, and that is why the mood of the music changes around so often. It's just an experiment to see whether I can convey mood and emotion without vocals. I'm glad you liked it. Next up will be a sci-fi tune, coming soon : )

Yes! Brings back a lot of childhood memories of playing video games late into the night. I'm not afraid to admit I rocked out to video game songs when I was a young kid. Eventually I discovered guitar based music when I was 12 and went down that rabbit hole, but I still get big time nostalgia when I hear stuff like this. As a side note, I hear echoes of Anamanaguchi in what you have here, so you might check them out for similar vibes (if you're looking for further inspiration in this direction).

Thanks Lux Lucis : )

I love this. Badass guitar.

Thank you Andrew : )

Thanks Andrew. Appreciate your comment. I wish I could sing better though!

Thanks James. I'm flattered

Send this to the Munich Chamber of Commerce. It is so visual. Perfect for a track with video.

Yep, very cool. Shouldn't be my sort of thing at all - but it grabbed me. Excellent sounds too, really excellent.

This makes me smile. Love the funky guitar picking.

V ery clean. AND about my song: FRED's...you suggested I develope it further. I'll see wha I can do. I just hadn't thot of that. Thanks for listening.

Thanks reefwalker and Tom. Glad you enjoyed it. I will write the lyrics up.

Fun song, Steve--found myself doing some air guitar on this one! Would love to see the lyrics displayed somewhere because it was harder to make out some words and I'm always interested in lyrical content whenever you step outside the instrumental realm. Looking forward to more songs!

Great lyric, performed with emotion. Nice job!

Good effort! This isn't an easy song, but the tone of it sounds just right.

Thanks Tom. I appreciate your comments, and I'm pleased that you listen so closely. I'm conscious that I don't have much of a voice, and I'm not very confident about singing. There is not much power or range there, and I've noticed that I'm kind of deeper and hoarser since being on some medicine this last few weeks. I wrote this lyric about a year ago, and I've been trying to fit a tune to it. Overall I guess I'm fairly happy with how it turned out. I want my efforts to have a style that mixes different elements and don't sound too predictable or boring. Getting my lyrics to fit is my second biggest problem. - Ideally I'd like to find someone to sing for me! Thanks again : )

Like this. Great stuff!

Nice guitar work Colin!

Like this version. Catchy song!

Nice cover Tom : )

Like this. Lyrics, melody, effects, rhythm. Good job!

Thanks James : )

Nice tune Steffen : )

Very kind Radio Roswell!

Thanks Anna/Memphis : )

This is really good. I like the lyrics, vocals, production, style, everything!

Great song. You put a lot of emotion into your songs

Glad you like it MemphisMaiden. Thanks.

You have a lovely voice Anna. Very good!

Nice song. You've managed to do your own backing vocals too. Good job!

From Pulp Fiction too? Powerful song, comes across well Tom. Well done!

Thanks Tom, Nick P and Lux Lucis.

A fresh sounding Rock and Roll song. Great!
