Oh my how gorgeous, with a hint Floyd-like Psychedelic flavoring -- delicious. A damn fine mix down/mastering job. Cool lyrics and vocals, nice picking. I really, really, really love this! ROCK ON!
Well I seem to have a few songs with dreams and oceans in them. But then I do live on the ocean.... and I do dream ... daydream. I bought a cheap yamaha acoustic guitar from a garage sale for $50 and decided to try recording a song with it. I…

No joke those Yamaha acoustics are decent acoustics...just had one in the shop and was really surprised how well it played. Beautiful song Stan and the guitars sound great.
This began with a click track and Kontakt Acoustic Piano ... a made up in the moment thing. Then I used Absynth for all the synth and synth bass sounds , Addictive Drums, my Fender Jazzmaster overdriven, sure 58 for vocals mixed in GB.

Found a interesting sounding indian instrument via the computer world and strummed out chords on my lil midi guitar. Added some percussion, strings and a flute.
I've posted this "Naked" version because Mrs Russe wanted me to... :-)
It wasn't "finished" in my mind - there was a certain amount of "orchestration" to come.
But I ended up liking the starkness of this version.
The original intention…
Quite nice in this stripped down version ... love the subtle organ ... the simplicity adds to the sense of starkness and the melody is very effective with the words.
A complete re-vamp of a 6 year old song. Sure I wrote the lyrics while on holiday in Majorca, rewrote a couple of lines, picked up me ole guitar last week & just played this tune & it all seem to fit. Could need a lay down now !!!!
Hey James ... the lead synth sounds almost retro but played very experimentally agains the cool tribal beats. I like the way the synth pans around your head in the soundscape. I like it!
Happy New Year

Smear this all over your face. You know you want to, IT'S EAR Food!
(I once found a lobster trying to invade my space in that area while awakening on the shore of a Tropical Island post Shipwreck..)
I got me a new mic and a pre-amp and I picked up the Jumbo Eko (I'll do this again when my fingertips have recovered). I tried to do finger picking when I was a teen, but didn't pursue it as it seemed like too much hard work at the time. Today…

I’ve come this way like those before me
And those yet still to come
It fills me with a sense of wonder
To watch the rising sun
how many times
how many souls
Have acted out these scenes
It fills me with…
I like your words and there is a rawness to your performance that is quite appealing ... The actual recording is clipping ... recorded a bit too hot but the strong songwriting makes up for it..
The core of the music is heavily inspired by Joni Mitchell. Its been spinning around for years in my head so hearing this song finally recorded feels good.
I think this needs a guitar solo but i'm not capable of doing it so if anyone would like to give it a go i would love to hear what you could come up with its in C. Otherwise i'm quite happy with it...now with a solo by Billy Jack
Please Don…
The Hammered Dulcimer melody haunted me for weeks, but it didn't come together until Jamie played drums on it. Takes a long time to pay off, but I hope if you hang with it, you'll dig where it gets too.
Okay , this may be my last Hendrix cover for awhile. I have been itching to record a few new original songs that are waiting in the wings. These covers were fun to do and I discovered alot about the songs I didnt no before. On this one I added…
Another collab with Jip, with me adding the vibes, pad of the orient, flute and vocals.
From the original da da da da das before I came up with any lyrics, I wasn't happy with any of the melodies. This is the result of me getting bored with…
in bed - cant sleep
go downstairs to pour a drink
the acs out, its hot as shit
but you learn to get used to it
since you left, its been hard
leavin early from parties and bars
you wont pick up, you're over it
its been a while, im used to it…

Lovely playing - and I like the lyrics/melody too.
ummmm! sweet Yamaha
Beautiful The acoustic guitar suits you. Great sound especially for a *“Garage Sale”* find

Well done. You make good use of the overtones in the strings, cheap guitar or not.
Has a Pink Floyd Vibe...Love this.:) Sometimes these cheap guitars record really well...they hold a special Mojo.
and another tasty one............
beautiful..... Tasty indeed!!
Aww, gorgeous sounds. And, actually, I can't hear that it's a cheap guitar. Sounds fabulous.
Very tasty. I always start in an acoustic mood, and then something just comes over me and I get all Roy Thomas-Baker about it...
Nice vocals.. Cool lyrics.. Rock on! Love it. :)
Great song and well done!
I've been fond of the sound of the cheap Yamaha acoustic since the mid-'70s. Gorgeous mix down -- Rock on!

And to you .....
Awesome, great mix.
I like it! Nice one. Has that Neil Young vibe.
Instantly saw Gibbons passing the keys to the 32 ford to Philip Gardener. Pearly Gates Rocker.I like!
love the layers, cool tune!
Well done.
