Life Wasn't Meant To Be Easy-A proper song :)

Here is a track I've been trying to finish now for almost 10 years...in the last couple of months I've put down some new vocals, and rebuilt the middle section which now sounds like industrial angels weeping ;).
 
Peace and Enjoy Ben

    Some good stuff in here Ben, I like that 'we can fight another day' section, very early Pink Floyd. I thought the part at 3:06 was a bit superfluous, I wanted the groove to hit back in there. Nice textures in the mix, good to hear some of your trademark techniques used in a song. Some of the lyrics could probably use a re-think, they're a bit rushed and crammed in here and there.

    Very good work. Melodies were good and so were the performances. I am glad you got this finished. It was worth the wait imo.

    This was a very interesting tune to listen to....very loose in some ways yet the weirdness kinda tied it together. Something I would expect to hear on a late night collage radio station....I applaud alt/progressive tunes like this...I do think it could use some help remixing some of the sections but it could very well be that the "offness" feel is part of its charm.
     
    Cool stuff.

    Trippy dude. Yea, a lot of Pink Floyd in this. I think this is really good.

    Hey Ben
    Sounded a bit over-compressed at the start but could be the old audio files you're working with. some very cool ideas here though. Has a great Mott the Hoople or Sweet type stomp to it with some psychedelic elements. nice.

    I liked the normal beginning but loved when things got weird.
