For me, there are two things that make a song great. 1) It elicits emotion and 2) it paints a picture. I have no idea your level of musical training, but I can tell you that this song hit 1 and 2 straight on for me.
Starting with the story I see, I see a young girl stuck inside on a rainy day. She's sitting in front of a piano as the rain is pouring down outside. She sees the rain from her piano bench out a window and sadly begins playing this song. She plucks away at the song as best she can, with slight hesitations as she tries her best to make sure he hands are on the right keys. Behind her, the grey clouds fill the room, rain taps against the house, and thunder rumbles.
As far as the emotion, this song has so much in it. I feel sad for the girl since she is obviously confined indoors on a day that she so much wanted to spend outside running and playing. She wants to be free, but is confined. Yet, I feel happy for her also. She is using her piano to express herself. Maybe she knows that the song she is plucking out is an image of her current state. Maybe she doesn't. But her focused-ness yields satisfaction for her, and that makes me feel satisfied.
I dunno, maybe I am reaching, but this is how your song speaks to me emotionally and anecdotaly. I love it, and the sound of the thunder coming in precisely during the pauses is great. I don't know if you did this on purpose or not, but it's great! Cheers.
Been a while since I've been online, and it's nice to come back and find a featured track like this. Smooth, groovy, funky, and best of all spacey. I love it. It's so easy to have sax in a track and for it to sound too cheesy or like elevator music. This track sounds like neither. And that organ solo. That's something we used to call good ol rippin titties. Was the song done after that? No, you tickle my fancy by introducing the horn line. I need to go to bed, but I'm gunna be up late hoping you have other tracks I can check out. F ya.
Thanks allot, Spaceman! We appreciate your kind words.
Never heard the term, 'rippin titties' but will have to remember it and use it on our comments next time. No, the organ track was included with the other tracks.
You can find more track on our page. Check em out if you like.
Thanks for taking the time to stop by Spaceman. I do use a condenser mic, MXL 770 straight into a tone port ux2 then straight into Ableton, it works mighty fine on all instruments and vocals. cheers Slap...
I'm sure you hear this a lot, but you got some talent. It's easy to make electronic music, but it's hard to make it "feel so good." Keep up the good work, mate.

I did get a little distracted by the echo and had to listen to this song twice to get all the words, but I'm not saying that is a bad thing.
I enjoyed what you're going for here. I'm gunna grab my headphones so I can give this a proper listening. The drumbeat with the simple ambient tracks really help keep attention on the beautifly sung vocals. Good song, great message.

Yeah I was having a hard time tweaking the echo so it was just enough and I finally got frustrated and left it like this and let others decide if it sucked lol. Thanks for listening, I'm glad that you liked the song... nothing works better than life for inspiration to lyrics :) Lisa
I'm saddened to hear that Cam isn't doing well, especially with such a moving piece. Tell him the Spaceman said to hang in there. What an amazing transformation the piano took under his finders...
Yo Spaceman! My mentors Jamey Abersold, check him out. Then buy gettin it together (volume 21)of his range of books sit in a room and do some serious wood shedding. Cheers Slap...
Yes, oh, yes. I'm assuming that was you on bass?
Give me some of them magic mushrooms and I'd be in business listening to this one.
Not many songs get an immediate second play from me. I really liked it.
Thunder kicks ass...
Hi...Thank's for the words...Yes that's me playing bass,I do all my own instrumental parts,and only use drum loops or a drum machine.Charlie Mingus is one of my early influences and I dig all his work.....I'll be checking your tunes...regards planet
Hey there:)
Great sense of humour!
Hmm.... i got this vocals from magix .wav audio loops.
That´s the software i'm using since 2002.
I'm trying to return to my audio creation hobbie, but a LOT have changed in the last years, so i need updates: where we can get the best wav. samples, what's the best software nowadays...
If anyone could help i would apreciate very much!
I have more than 30 small audio creations.
From time to time, i´ll post them here. I feel that i need to give my contribution to this great site, and obviously to all members aswell.
LOL no wonder it made you laugh... I giggled when I saw that. Guess that's proof my vocals needed tunage eh? I actually said "water my lawn" although that gives me a really comical image now. Thanks for listening, glad you liked it :-)
I liked it, but I wanted the vocals to be louder/clearer. It sounds like you don't really want emphasis on vocals, so if that's what your going for, keep doin your thing. I enjoyed the beat as well. I think if you introduce a low, simple bass beat somewhere in the song, it could really add a lot (something to shake the subs a bit). Overall I liked it.
