LpMike75 Hey James - Around the 1:50 mark sounds really cool when everything kicks in Thanks Mike for the listen , yea it sort does really kick in at that mark in the song .

Good track James, one of your best I think. Nice to hear you upping the tempo a bit. The ending was a bit of a let down though, could use a nice fade-out there. One thing that did strike me as odd - a lot of the cymbal crashes fall on the '4' of the bar, instead of the '1', which I found a bit distracting. Nice powerful piece though, much better now.

First impressions, I love the drums throughout the whole track. Really great energy, and just a really cool sound. Also combined with those synths that you're using it sounds like the intro music to one of those late 80's/early 90's action films set in somewhere like LA or Miami. You can just imagine a lot of aerial shots of the city and the beach and the main good guy/bad guy driving in a car. It really is very cool. Definite thumbs up from me! EDIT: For some reason this imaginary film also strikes me as something that could have Eddy Murphy in it.

Thanks James , this song for some reason was tough as nails to get through for some reason. I almost gave up on it untill suddenly a spart hit me with a new idea or plan , glad I hung in there . The song was suppose to end suddenly with a crash cymbal , maybe I will try fading it out some more like your suggesting . Thanks for the listen & comment ! James

EDIT: For some reason this imaginary film also strikes me as something that could have Eddy Murphy in it. Thanks Logan , this song started out not so good untill I finally had to rethink things over as far as song structure . What I had before was more or less two sections , was anything to get happy . I'm pretty happy with the way this tune turned out and during the process I found some new synth instruments in my music software that worked well for a keyboard guitar lead . Its not the real thing a real guitar but its works and sounds really nice and it helped lift up the song where it really needed a guitar type lead sound . In this song I decided to use a guitar synth in my first verse and then I found a nice keyboard synth for my second verse section in the tune . Two different types of lead sounds , sounded pretty cool in my ears so decided this would work great in my song . Anyway thanks for your nice comment on my song , glad you song and the drum track . James

Perseverance does pay off. I've had the experience of listening to one of my tunes 100,000 times before I realize where it's going. I like the choices you've made with all the synth textures which give this tune some depth, imo. Congratulations for sticking with it.

Hi Lynn , thanks it rewarding to finally end up with a winner instead of a loser . Its not my best but in some ways I feel so far this is my best song to date but on the other hand I always say to myself this one my best and somehow end up trying to make the next song better then the last song . Paul of the Beatles was once ask , Paul which song do you think is your best song ? His answer was my next song ! I guess we all feel that way atlease I do , the thought in my mind is how can I make the next song better then the last song . We are all human and we all have our bad days and good days , sometimes you just have to weather the storm and take some time to rethink a plan to get up off your feet and make things happen in a postive way . Thanks for the comments ! James
