Don't know anything about this but you lined up vocals. Everything flows into one. Nice work. Guitar is cool. What sounds like chains is awesome

Hey CC - Ive got some catch up listening to do after a few days away! Thanks for the listen and the warm feedback. The chains sound (along with the more typical guitar lead sound) is actually from my guitar!

Hello, a very beautifully staged play! I think the idea of using a musical sound with few chords as the background of the language is very good. This means that one follows the spoken word more attentively, but at the same time perceives these interesting background instruments with their sparse melody, which are neither disturbing, but rather interesting. Wonderful song! I like it very much! Greetings Manuela

Reminds me of something the Clash would have done on the Sandinista album. This is different, very cool!

Sometimes it's worth going back into an idea and reworking it and using the mixing skills you've acquired in the meantime to get a better mix.

Good chit Ian!

Hey Wayne

Thanks mate - I think the original mix Id used a new FX that cluttered the sound on the poem, I thought Id lost the stems but found a couple of rendered parts so I was able to do some reworking

Sorry for the slow reply

I've listened to fair bit of accompanied spoken word, but nothing that's sounded quite like this. Really cool mate!

Thanks Rita - first time Ive tried recording with the harmonica so was happy with the final result - although it's not dazzling playing I did think it sounded kind of cool too : )

great creativity Ian love the spoken word mate, great fx added makes you listen intently the guitar is cool and the drum simplistic sparse instrumentation but manipulated so cool, well done mate. im struggling for inspiration at the minute, been a tough month, but keep checking in, looking for a spark, get out of this current mood ive found myself in

Hey mate - thanks for the warm feedback - sorry to hear you are in a bit of a fugue (the psychological rather than musical kind) Im quietly confident that such a creative and crafty old (but not as old as me) bugger will soon find his mojo. I like the maxim when things appear to be going slowly slow down ... good (but paradoxical) reminder to focus on what is already present and that there is often no real need to work too hard (just hard enough) ... if only I could remember that myself ... well as the poet in my track says 'one of these days' : ) I'm in your corner mate.
All good things

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.
