Description : Remastered March 2023. Recorded live on two mics. For my wee daughter Tui; I wrote it sitting on the bathroom floor, keeping her company while she was in the bath....

If you have time take a listen and give Zootman some feedback.
Thanks for checking another track out! This one has a special place in my heart, glad someone else likes it. Still like that accoustic track of yours I commented on. Perhaps one day I come back to it and try something. Cheers, Zoot.
Hi Chris,
I listened to the remix. It's pretty good, but it doesn't feel like the same song anymore! In my opinion, the original has a lot more emotion. Maybe I'm a little biased because of my female genes. *smiles* And I'm a mother too.
But your song really touches me deep in my heart. Winston's remix might make you want to dance, but that's a big difference!
Best wishes, Manuela
Hello Chris,
this is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard from you. Wonderful, this acoustic guitar and the very emotional singing! You can really feel that you dedicated this song to someone important to you.
Great!
Best wishes and have a nice weekend,
Manuela
Hey man, mate short review required for this one WOW, stunning instrumental with a very nice chill vibe, massive shout out to you on your vocals on this piece, very impressive so wrapped I picked this piece to listen too, made my day. One of the best tracks I've heard since coming back into the loop family after a long layoff, massive fav mate, Peace much Respect mosaic....
that's a really nice comment, thanks a lot. And thanks for taking the time to listen to another track. I know I'm pretty amateur with this music thing, but it is so enjoyable to create and be creative. If I'm pleased with the result that's what matters most, but if someone else genuinely likes it too, all the better!! Cheers Zoot.
Awesome Zootman, great buttery vocal and nice chilled guitar playing. Nice mix on this one as well, the guitar almost sounds subtle against the vocal, good job for not over cooking the levels, sounds great ! :)
Thanks for the nice comment! I probably fluked the balance between vox and guitar given I had the two mics (1 condenser and 1 dynamic) positioned to try and capture both at once. Took a bit of compression to get on top of some of the peaks but yeah, the problem with the earlier version was a bit of clipping. I'm still very much learning the production stuff.
Thanks Mr BB. I added the delay to the mix just recently, wasn't sure it was a good move. I wanted it subtle so hopefully it sounds that way. cheers Chris
Thanks Rita, when I'm away from home and I have some spare time (as I was with this one) and I don't have the recording equipment it gets tempting to go back to some old ones and tinker and try to improve etc. Cheers Chris
thats some scroll, first time for me mate, i wasnt about when you released it. what a wonderful track beautiful guitar being a father of a daughter myself, i feel all your words, excellent vocal and music and great production Chris, top marks on this bro.
Hi Paul thanks a lot man. Looking forward to hearing more from you, you must be cooking something up. Personally I'm feeling the urge to do more guitar music and have a few things on the go but no time to pursue and develop them.
Hi Michael. Thanks a lot. I didn't realize this was already showing in featured tracks. I hadn't had time to listen or comment to others and I'm about to go bush again for a couple of days. Weston63 did a great remix of it. He's got some very cool stuff on here.
I got the urge to click an acoustic track, and I'm glad I did! Your vocals and the lyrics are wondrous! The guitar work made a perfect bed for these words, and it's tone is awesome. Really liked this song! Faved for sure!
Ahh the aura of the ethereal children.. Such elegance and Grace.. that with the beauty of the mystique that love carries over onto sweet remark of the amazing father. Bravo King!
Great sound on the guitar and vocal and excellent performance and composition - Im thinking your daughter must be very happy with a song like that for her own : )
Excellent! It's absolutely perfect and your voice is awesome. I downloaded it just to listen as any other song. I was thinking of making a remix with some acoustic bass and just a subtle touch of synths, on the background (softer) keeping your track on the sonic foreground. If I do that I will send you the end result. Thanks for sharing and congratulations for your brilliant work.
Thanks Memphis, appreciate that. you know I've had that guitar for about 35 years. I call it Berna after my old german grandmother who left me the money to buy it when she died. but i digress. I did wonder if it was a bit heavy on the reverb maybe I'll go back and change it but you know how it is, sometimes you just gotta move on.
I would definetly put this on my spotify playlist. It is such a good song and recorded very well. I woudnrt change a thing except make the song a bit longer :-). SOmetimes when your vocals are on a low register the lower frequencies are a itchy bit distorting, but i would keep it in to emphasize your very warm vocals. You got talent, sir! Greets, Auke
Wow it feels like I'm discovering pink floyd again for the first time. I can't really explain it, something about this is nostalgic, yet I've never heard this before. This is like a live performance where the singer actually sounds like the studio recording.
Greetings Zoot, I did love this track all the way. To bad it was a little bit to short for me. But still, It has a pleasant ring to it. So yeah very well done indeed. So thumps up for this one. I noticed this track is also live recorded but in a proper way this time. I heard some pieces out there, that didnt sound to great when recorded live. But this one was prety well done. Have a good one and keep up the good work, Verdi
A star has been born! You have a raw natural talent not heard by many here. It is that raw unplugged human sound that draws people to your song. You got natural timeless vocals. The stings are all you need when you have a voice like yours. Man, you should have been doing songs like this out the box on this site. Congrats on a very amazing song that everyone can enjoy. Do not hold back any longer, give us more in the future man, the cat is out of the bag zootman2u.
Hi Mr Axel, those are some very nice words and immensely flattering. I don't know why it took me so long once I had the hardware/software to go back to where i started with making music - just mucking around on an accoustic and making up little ditties like this and singing them to the walls. easy to be sidetracked i guess. hopefully there'll be some more. thanks again for your very kind words, all the best Chris
Really liked the honesty about this. As mentioned in one of the comments, I would like to hear this re-recorded, guitar and vocals separate. I think that would be a masterpiece. But, what do I know ?
Not sure whether you intended it to be, but this is definitely a throwback to the 60's Folk singer-songwriter era (think Joni Mitchell, Dave Van Ronk, Cat Steven, etc.). Your voice is perfectly matched to this genre. Thanks for sharing it, and well done, you!

Hi Mykael, thanks a lot for your time. No real intentions beyond getting my clumsy fingers in the right place on the fretboard and being half satisfied with the result! some illustrious references you dropped there though.
Has a 60's era folk feel to it. Ad a synth track & some dramatic, middle eastern type percussion & this could easily morph into a Dead Can Dance kind of sound.
Nothing like an acoustic git and a singer. Singer/songwriter music is my passion. It makes the performer vulnerable and exposed and the ability of that person to write now becomes very important as the song needs to hold it's weight with so little going on.
I think it sounds fine, the acoustic has some nice reverb on it. I usually always record the instruments and singing separately, for mixing purposes, it's easier I think. You did a great job for recording and playing all at once. Dig the lyrics too!
yeah a bit like finding yourself naked in public eh! Separate would definitely be easier for mixing etc but then when u sing you've got to work out where the words are supposed to go and i find that hard, specially like in this one with no real steady beat. guess its a trade off in spontaneity and other things. Anyways, i appreciate your time and comments, thanks.
Hello Mate,
Wow, this is brilliant the guitar and the vocal.
Well done my friend.
I Love the track if you want me to mix it for you for free just PM.
Great job
Maj
Hi Maj, very glad you enjoyed it. Sure be great if you want to have a crack at it. I'll message you as I'm not sure how to go about it. Also, it was recorded live onto 2 mics so I guess you can't really separate the guitar from the vocal. but you know much more about this than i do i'm sure :)
Thanks I'd hesitate to give that label to myself, it took at least 12 takes to get this little thing half right lol. Besides, whether you're writing and playing something from scratch, or using loops and samples, u still gotta have some sort of an ear. Which u obviously have in abundance.
Me personally I think there's two categories of producers if you want to call it on here. And I call myself a creator. But you and many others a real artist. Real producers of the industry. Excellent bravo. Well put together. Love the story line. So much music I listen to but I don't know how to create it. And this track and type is one of them. My main vibe is hip hop but tracks like these are the go to. To take my mind and soul away.
Description : NOTICE: this song is made ONLY FOR NON-COMMERCIAL PURPOSES. Contains an emulation of a TM legendary song (send to the original authors, i add them on Fb time ago).
This is a surprise, for those was young in 1999, for the beloved Patricia (and the gift of her voice) and my brothers Nous2 and Jamid, kind people i met here. Let's go crying guys, hope you enjoy.
Description : There were two separate tracks in work, but who knows why I got tired with them and then decided to merge them (or at least what left from them) into one piece hence they originate out of same musical purpose. No worries...no world war was ment here, except my recent personal one...haha...and you don't want to know about it.:) It's not real etude by any means, yet it's quite alot about practicing...practicing...

Description : Again, another early production from like two years ago. I had a cheap little Yamaha acoustic guitar that I borrowed and mic'd and some congas that were given to me as a birthday present. I used my iPad GarageBand app to record the strings and the big bass drum thingy at the interlude and little electric guitar parts in there too haha. All the vocals were done by myself and my brother throws in some little things here and there with his voice :P Enjoy!
Description : A rhythm guitar track I made and sent to my cousin on the East Coast. Made with Tape-A-Talk app. from the Google Play Store. Download and collaborate with it.
