This is beautiful episodic work brother Michael! I wish you did the singing instead of leaving it to talk to text... Those lyrics were fucking gorgeous man. Well produced too and those animals at the end really caused me a nice sense of nostalgia maybe even euphoria... a pure classic man!

That's a strange, outstanding brilliant work. I was getting flashbacks (the pleasant kind). You're a genius, Sir ;–)

Peace,

Get's very Aphex Twin a couple times. Thought I was having a stroke, but in a good way, then I thought, it's probably not good to say "Thought I was having a stoke, but in a good way."

I blame your song, nice work:)

I love the originality man. All I need is a knife and some steak sauce because this one is quite delicious. Is that an 8 or 16-bit synth I hear in this one? This song is a trip and a half. Well done man.

xstokes replied 28th Sep 2021 - 3 years ago
thanks for having a bite of this, mr A! that glitch sample could be 8-bit, i think!

You been licking toads I reckon. I love these weird musical collages you put together, this is arty as hell and I mean that in a nice way. I loved the sound effect through the intro, and some really cool guitars, especially liked the acoustic at 1:27.

Una obra de arte hermano Michael, esto está muy por encima de nosotros, muy evolucionado. Impresionante la voz sintética, suena muy real, y los efectos de lujo igual que la mezcla. El bajo potente y la guitarra seductora igual que los sintetizadores y el órgano. Enorme tema, muy innovador.Que tengas un buen día compañero. Paz y salud.

MY goodness! this is well quirky! haha but I like it. This is a display of brilliantly thinking clean outside the box, very Avant-Garde indeed. Another mind trip of a track by you. A Very Inventive piece of musical art. Kudos.

ms. A! i’m moving to your rhythm, even tho you might not tell from this track! it’s an old tale — i love looking to those stories for inspiration!

Well that was different! Text to voice synth? Interesting. The voice sounds like something from star wars. The words were cool and with that effect on them it really went well with the sounds and effects you created.

I've come to expect a "no holds barred" type of approach to your music, which always makes a listen an experience. Thanks!

thank you for such kind words, Wayne! that voice kills me — who would develop an english text to japanese accented voice? that’s no holds barred!

Love the glitch and the quirky vox and the various gorgeous very musical interludes and variety of instruments and sounds, amazingly it all holds together very well despite the disparate elements - masterful work

Kamal let's the groove ride so you can ride with it. Enjoy the female neo soul voice on the hook as well.

Description : Spoken Word with Rhythm. It's a song about dedication and being there for the one you love. People can easily say what they are going to do but not really mean any of the words. I learned a hard lesson in that today.
