Description : Final update: Mahloo13 contributed to this song with an amazing mix and new master (I sadly had to compress it slightly due to looperman size limitations). If you've heard this tune before – listen again – I think it's worth it. Lots and lots of cred to Malu for his effort.

Update: Totally new vocal tracks by tacatta.

100615: Yesterday I came across a man who lost his angel. This really moved me and I just had to finish this track which suddenly found its reason. A couple of weeks ago i found an acapella by Eshar that now made its way into this song. Garageband, Strat, Eshar, fretless precision and some compassion

p.s. In case you wonder – yes, I'm a big fan of Pink Floyd.

I love to hear those rockbased tracks. And this one is realy well done, especialy the organ you used sounds realy cool for me. Your music make me think on the music of "Ayreon" (Arjen Anthony Lucassen) That is meant as a huge compliment. :)

Wow!I love what you have done with this!
It's really smooth and beautifully done.

Thank you very much. Malu and Tacatta really made the difference. In the new mix Eshar's voice pella got new life – and finally the song became complete. I am very pleased the result. Again, thank you for the very kind words and for sharing the story of Matthew.

Well, it is easy to see why Malu is one of the best around when it comes to mixing and mastering. This is fabulous and definitely a song that Pink Floyd, or any band, would be proud of.

The vox at the 1:15 mark are a stroke of genius.

Hell, the whole track is genius.

Straight to favorites - \m/ \m/

Hi,
thanks for giving me the heads up about the latest version of this track. It sounds fantastic certainly.

It's been an interesting musical journey, and even though we all started from different places the final destination is certainly one we can all be proud of, and it's a very fitting tribute to little Matthew.

A big jump in time, my friend .... Yes! really "Pink Floyd" in its purest form in the game, the intonation, lack can be a good guitar solo but it's fantastic ....
I am very surprised by the artistic quality of this track.
All my respect ....

Merci, votre mots est très apprÃÂciÃÂe.
And I'll pass them on to my collaborators who all were essential in bringing the track to that quality. I played all instruments but the drums (they were set by Malu) and wrote the lyrics – but it wasn't until Jim and Malu did their parts that the tune became what it now is. I am very proud of the outcome. Again, thanks.

A brilliant track. The vocals are absolutely fitting for this track Tocatta's vocals are ace and heart felt, Esher fits in nicley during the end. Well layed out and the melody and bridge is just an anthem sing along track, that could be easily played commercially. A very good attempt. I would push this track further mate! You've clearly worked really hard on this gem, well done really well done.

Wow, Taccata, you're vocals are insane dude! Guitar, Kilk,awesome as always bro and Eshar just tops it off in such a sultry way! Thank you for blessing us all with this. Great great tune man! Huge fav! The loop is an exceptional place man, there is absolutely no place I would rather be. Thank you to everyone involved on this track for sharing it with us. It is a true example of the powers and wonders of collabs man!
Kikajon
Kikajon replied Unknown
Thank you so much for the kind words. This is a song that have evolved with the talent of collabortions – I used Eshars amazing poem and sung the lead vocals myself in the first version, when Tacatta added his voice the tune began to sound like I wanted it to.
But when Mahloo13 added his mixing skills I was amazed, it came out they way I didn't even know I wanted it to sound. Great collabs gives new visions.

Thank you, ever so kindly. But I'd be wrong to take the cred for the voice this time, it's actually Jim that does the vocals. But I appreciate that you like my voice, and your support is making my confidence grow as a singer. The duet with Jim will happen. Some day.

Hahhah yeah I like your disclaimer about Pink Floyd. I grew up with their music and they are incredible even now after all the time they have been separated and the music industry is saturated with crappy music so it was a good audition being given the opportunity to listen to something like this again.

The guitar work and the vocals are totally awesome. I can't agree with some processing on the guitars as the different reverb settings make it seem as if they come from different songs and there are some leveling issues as well as the vocals get buried underneath the guitars here and there.

The snare needs a bigger reverb to blend it in the back a bit and the Bass definitely needs more compression to bring it out more.

Even so the quality is incredible and trust me what I've said above are subtle nuances that when touched can work wonders.

Instant Fav!

Best wishes!

I love what you have done to improve this track!
It really has come together so beautifully.
The combination of the guitar and all the vocalists,Tacatta,Eshar and yourself is pure synergy.
It has been a long hard road putting the Matthew album together,with lots of heartache,tears,anger and frustration.
It has been such a hard project as it is so close to my heart and has totally drained me.
I have listened to the tracks thousands of times and I'm happy to say that I'm finally ready to let go and the album will be released on November 26.
I'm so thrilled to have you guys on it and can't wait to see what happens.
Thank you so much!You don't know what it means to me!
Much love

Wow!I am totally blown away by this.Beautiful,from start to finish.
I am so honored by your thoughts for Matthew.He was not my son,but the son of a family friend,but the pain,none the less,has been so hard to bare!
Thank you for this.You have touched my heart and I am so grateful to you for dedicating this track.Elaine is one of my best artists on this site,so it was really amazing that she featured in this.
I have written an album for Matthew which is almost complete and ready for release.I would love to include this track on the album,if I get your permission.
The proceeds are going to charity to help burn victims,but hopefully,we will get lots of exposure and may go places with this.
I have not written this album for financial success in the music industry,but to try help raise money for charity.Any recognition will be a bonus,and who knows what it could lead to?Let me know if I can include this on the album,and thank you so very much for caring.It is so appreciated!LLove.g.x

What can I say but I'd be very honored to do so. But Elaine have to give her permission. I can contact her if you wish.

Description : I used some new "Anthem" pickups from L.R. Baggs on my Martin acoustic to see how it performed, and it definitely beat my expectations. Captured the sound perfectly as I needed.

Anyhoo, this song is almost a prayer, hence the repetitiveness of the verses. As Christians, we believe that God will one day return and take away every suffering and all evil for good; in that regard, this song is almost one of waiting too. Very simple, with vocal harmonies and whatnot. Hope you enjoy this as much as I did making it. Made in 13 hours.

Someone else wrote the words, I was just inspired to use them. I only added the "Yeah" and "Amen."

Description : So a guy buys a nice guitar at a pawn shop but returns it a few days later after waking from a sound sleep to hear it playing by itself. When he tells of his experience he is shocked to learn the owner had actually died while playing it. Is it fantasy or truth? Is the guitar in this track that very same guitar? Its all part of the mystery and fun of Halloween !

Description : A progressive journey incorporating deep ambient chillout, swing jazz, hip hop, d'n'b, trance and a slight touch of acid with a thousand ninjas battling in space. Features a great deal of my lead slide resonator guitar playing. Also a whole load of synths, programmed acoustic drum kits and manipulated drum loops, big basslines, regular electric guitar, vocoded guitar parts and bass guitar (distorted right at the end). If you like deep chill, far out soaring beauty, fat beats and 170 BPM uplifting slide trance controlled mayhem, you might just get into this. In my heaven there is an endless supply of honey mangoes (an exquisite beauty of the fruit world) and even more slide guitar. A 1,000-year-long version of this track plays there on a loop (long enough not to get bored of it) but here I offer you the Earthly 11 min version. You must be very good to be accepted into my heaven to hear the full thousand year version so best start now. It may be heaven's main theme tune but it's not above criticism so feel free to let me know what you think of it. Maybe you prefer the soundtrack in hell. I hear it's pretty badass...
