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!

Impressive guitar work and very listenable. Super!

Cool groove, melodic and strange too. Nice job!

Like the song guys, reminiscent of a 60s sound to me. nice to hear from you again.

Thanks Tom. I have another almost done, and also one you might want to work with. : )

Nice acoustic cover, your voice and guitar strips the song back and gives it some soul!

Melancholic but engaging and beautiful at the same time

I’m happy that you enjoyed it Psychic Sperm. : )

Glad you liked it Jason!

Thank you Fudgetusk

Thanks Brett

Haha! Thanks for listening Tom. I enjoyed making it, and it became a bit more light hearted as I went along.

Impressive cover Tom! Great atmosphere and emotion shows through here. Very nice!

Nice cover Tom. I think your voice is great for this song. Great sound!

Thanks guest. : )

Like this a lot. You express the feeling very convincingly and bring the words to life. Great!

Thanks keycrazy. I try to keep it interesting. I’m grateful to you for listening carefully and commenting on my music.

Suits your style well. Tom will be applauding from heaven I reckon. Good job!

Beautiful acoustic song Tom. Great performance!

Really nice sound and feel to this. Wish I could sing as well as you Tom! Great!

Atmospheric sound and great vocals Tom! The chord syncing sounds difficult but you made an excellent job of it. Great job!
