Anymore - by Voda La Void

 Anymore - The song plays auto-magically.
 
 
This one is more of a ballad thing (after the instrumental intro), written after a bad LSD trip almost 20 years ago. I didn't understand social phobia at the time, what was going on with me, and this trip sent me over the edge with it. 

There were about 10 of us, including my future wife, and I couldn't talk to any of them - I planted myself on the couch, with a milk jug full of water, and just watched them all like a movie. I was not part of them, I could not participate in anything, couldn't move, I was scared to death, and they knew it - and friends as they were, they let me be. It was exactly what I needed. I watched them play and carry on, was fascinated, but in constant fear and isolation, right there in the living room. 

After this, I became severely depressed because I finally had to accept...this is really never going to go away, is it? It really is going to screw with my relationships I've built, to create a family, to be a musician and put myself out there. 

Of course, we all have our battles to fight, right? We all struggle with something, sometimes sight unseen. I always remember this. No pity parties - we have to overcome. Nobody gets out of this world alive. And the rules change for no one, no matter our weakness nor how unfair we think it is. 

I like your style.  I listened to a couple of your songs, and you have a unique sound going for you.  Keep it up!!

very cool - want more

I was liking this but it ended abruptly.  Was it intentional or is my computer acting up again? 

That is very cool.
 
Cool sounds all the way around.
 
Perfect balance on all instruments.
 
The ethereal vocals are too cool.

I will keep I eye for it on Soundcloud 

Thank you Bluzdog, but no it's not supposed to end abruptly.  There's more to it, but you heard most of it I think.  It's almost 8 minutes, so you were close - ha ha!  It's a SoundClick player issue and they do not appear to care too much about it.  Not sure why I'm shocked about that...I guess I thought customer flight to SoundCloud might matter a bit more than it does to them. 
 
The bummer about SoundCloud is that my employer blocks the site - which is why I stopped trying to review songs here at work when it's slow, because everyone uses SoundCloud anymore.  

Like the sound. I hear bits and pieces of Pink Floyd, Yes, Genesis, and even King Crimson. More modern influences, too. Enjoyed some of your other stuff on SoundClick, too.

Impressive... This is "true" song, I'm almost sure - when you put soul in music...
And such an interesting effect in 1 place.
(sorry, my English)

If I hadn't known the premise of the song I might have still guessed "trippy" as a description. It was heady and an adventure to listen to. I'm not sure I would want to be part of that adventure, even so , I could feel it.The music was top notch in every way. I like songs that take the listener on a journey and this was definitly that. Expertly done!

I didn't listen to the entire song, but as you know from the previous comments it's very well produced.  I liked the part best where vocals and the acoustic guitar come in.
