This is simply brilliant. I love the innocence of the vocals and your respectful treatment of them. This is wonderful from start to finish. It brought back memories of when my daughters were that age.
man its somthing about this song its creates a mental image of sea so clear and the girl's voice is innocent and sharp,wonder what it was like EQ'ing this track and wokring on the second.
Hey John thanks for the New Year cheers buddy :)..I was just looking at some video of a skiing trip my sister is on with her family from Steamboat Springs,and it makes me happy..hopefully I'll get to travel over to the States and see them soon...all the best for the coming year my friend. Dave
Easily the best song on Looperman, amazing production, cute voice, reminds me of the Final Fantasy: Advent Children Movie, during a scene where a little girl speaks about the Life Stream, or the worlds Life Stream, definitely if you haven't looked at it you should, if she makes any more music will you be uploading it? I' be very grateful to hear it from here.
Truly amazing, well done to her and you, seems like music is in the family eh? :)
Hehe..I don't know about that..thank you very much for the wonderful review (sorry for my late reply!) I 'd love to make more tracks with Vanessa only trouble is she lives in Florida and I'm here in Oz! lol(sister visited)..cheers planet :)
man this is out of this world, first listen I was having breaks in the track, but thought would give it another go, must have been the internet playing up, wow mate this is eerie but so great listening in the same time, your niece has a brilliant voice for this type of track and can see her having a future in spoken word for sure, sensational track matey, bye the way great to see another fellow Aussie here, even if he is living in Melb lol seriously great track, thank you for you and your niece for sharing your talents, fav'd...Peace Planet...Estefano....
Very nice indeed Planet. Your nieces' voice sounds perfect with the also perfect warm tones of the guitar and strings/pads. And I agree with nonesensesystem's last comment :) keep up the great work.
Cool!...I like having a creative relationship with my nieces and they like it too..they can be themselves and express their ideas openly without criticism....only trouble is they live in the states!so I don't get to see them as much as I would like..cheers mate...planet :)
the ebb and flow of this piece is mesmorizing...it almost immediately takes you out into the middle of the sea, to bobwith the waves in a tiny vessel. its only the certainty of her voice that reassures you you wont capsize...
this is such a neat piece. the production value is out of this world. ive never heard levels so beautifully balanced. kudos to both of you. cant wait to hear more of your work!
Thank you very much....after a bit of thinking about how to handle Vanessa's voice I decided on a very minimalist approach....all the nuance and expression in her voice and the simple but beautiful imagery she encapsulated didn't need much improvisation from me....it's such a shame that we all have to grow up and in many ways leave those innocent visions behind..cheers planet
did you upload any of these vocals raw? it would be kinda refreshing to work with stuff like this instead of lil thugs that have cheap mic recordings of how much weed they smoke
Vanessa is blessed within the planet gene pool.....great synergy between her voice and your music.....I hear there is going to be hail in Melb for tomorrows AFL final :(
Great work

A truly gorgeous piece of work. Lovely jaco-esque harmonics and ambient backdrops remeniscent of Steve Hillage's work on "Green", a rare treat and definately one for the favorites list - well done.
very inspiring track, call me impressed, i have been trying forever and a day to get my kids involved in this but they have no interest... love the track,,, great job...
Very relaxing track...yet kinda haunting at the same time. Very beautiful piece of work. I would say I'm impressed, but I've pretty much come to expect greatness from you. Well done!
new avatar aside, you have left me speachless. Being blue green color blind music has always been my pallet. You inspire! Thank you for being totally out of this world.
Your humble servant!
me, neil
Hey mate..good to see you back in town..thanks for listening..as you can tell by her accent my niece comes from Stateside....Florida!..cheers buddy Dave :)
Man so touching and beautiful, and there is a lot of jammin happening behing but never too much, very respectful mix of music and word, you had me when you did your first hatmonics and then the angel voice of your daughter, great human piece of art, for the memorie of mankind. Peace Love and Freedom sir.
Thank you Pete..my niece Vanessa will be so happy that you like it...she's very outgoing and positive..I literally had to drag the microphone off her! lol...thank you again for the kind words..much appreciated ..cheers planet :)
nicely done! your niece definatley should pursue spoken word. the piece is very relaxing and intellectual, something i would expect from someone twice her age. nice instrumental also, very original and fits the piece well. Good work to both of you, can't wait to hear more!
Thank you...Vanessa will love to hear that. lol ..when I put her in front of the microphone..she asked "what do you want me to say"....I just said describe whatever comes into your head that you can see.....cheers mate planet :)
This is an inspiring piece! I've been wanting to do some spoken word lately too, so it's good to hear something like this. This track definitely feels like childlike wonder. Great work! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks man....I had an idea of doing this quite awhile back and when my sister visited from stateside with her family...the girls were wrapped to get involved..there's a few more in the works at the moment....cheers planet :)
From the mouths of babe, aye? My youngest is about to turn 11, and I love watching her imagination at play.
Vanessa has some lines here that are so poetic, I had to backtrack and hear them immediately again. Glad you're obviously fostering the creativity in the family youth.
Hey Sean..I've never experienced the joys of Fatherhood..but I love being an uncle...sort of lets me in on the ground floor with my various nieces and nephews and they dig it that I treat them as equals intellectually and creatively..hehe all the fun and none of the responsibility...but then that's me.lol cheers mate Dave :)
Hey Abe..cool..I just love the way children can be so totally spontaneous and emotive given half the chance...Such a change when I was a kid where children were to be seen and not heard...I think kids,every kid should have the opportunity to become involved musically from a young age...couldn't hurt. thanks mate cheers Dave :)

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.
Description : I was writing another type of track and this "Spoken Word" I ran across kinda hi-jacked the track. At least I'll have the Genre right this time.
