This song is a nice reprieve from all the "doom and gloom" this month has visited upon many of us. I definitely found myself tapping along with the beat and doing some air guitar (when no one was looking)! Fun stuff, Steve!

Thanks for listening Greg, Stoman and Proods. I'm not a talented musician like you guys. I'm just glad to have the opportunity to get some ideas out there, some funny and some serious. I have a bit of imagination and can write a few lyrics, but all of the sounds are produced from the GarageBand app. I'm surprised and happy that people are entertained and acknowledge me. Thank you again.

Glad you like it Tom. No, it is not based on the Aerosmith song. I've never heard that until just now. I wanted to try a kind of fusion of rock and dance, and I thought the barking noise would be funny at the end, as there are no vocals. I then thought that an amusing title would be a pun on the expression "Walking the dog", as if the noisy music was waking the dog. - Just how my mind works I guess.
Cyborgs conquer the planet, crushing resistance and enslaving the human race. The cello represents the people who ignore the destruction and carry on as normal, like the orchestra playing on the deck of the Titanic as it went down.

Thanks Tom. I'm not sure if the mix of instruments worked. I was trying to contrast the power of the invasion with the futility of resistance and panic of the human survivors, but perhaps I was being a bit ambitious. It was fun though, and if you listen carefully at the beginning you will hear my dog getting in on the act. She heard me shouting and ran in barking, thinking that there was really someone (or something) here! I had to laugh!
That beer on the table yours or mine?
I only left the room for a short time.
If you've gone and switched them I'm gonna be sad,
Cos that beer was the best one that I ever had.
Don't drink my beer, you hear?
I'm counting to 4 just to make…
Thanks Tom. Boring the listeners is my greatest fear! Yes, I suggest headphones because there is a swirling stereo effect which only works properly with headphones on, as you rightly guessed. This song is about the rise of the Cyborgs, from initial communications to a robotic type march on humanity, a la Terminator style.
Thanks DJ Ursine. I can't take all of the credit for this. I use loops mostly, and the timing takes care of itself on the app I use. An ear for what will work, and some imagination helps, but I guess I'm more of a DJ than a musician.
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 : )
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 : )
I struggled to get this thing completed. I've been sat on it for weeks, finished, debating whether I was really prepared to let it go.
I loved the song when I wrote it, inspired by a wonderful week at the end of September. But the recording…

This is exactly what I needed to escape my post Thanksgiving food coma. Dance, dance, dance!!!
Nice work and interesting intercuts of stuff over the beat. Good live feel. Thanks for the kind words as well to my track earlier.

Interesting sounds. I'm trying to figure out what you're doing. Like "Prood" said: "FUN" especially the dog at the end.
Nice! :)
FUN! I love it!

Love the guitar and vocals are excellent! Great song Gary : )
Praise indeed from somebody who knows what they are doing with keyboards/synths. I appreciate your comments, and thanks for the vote of confidence!

Excellent song. Well written and performed Andrew. Reminiscent of early Bowie for me, but unique and stylish in it's own right.
Thank you Andrew : )
Thanks Andrew. Appreciate your comment. I wish I could sing better though!
Thanks James. I'm flattered
Like the interplay between the instruments. Nice variety, cool tune.
Like the eeriness you create
Wow! Very professional Corrie. Beautiful song and performance : )
Mellow sounds, dreamy and cool.
Nice James! Sweet vocals, very short. Will you expand this into a longer song?
