----------------------
A painful observation of all of you here
Pessimistic, overdriven, troglodytive
Hello! My name is: NAME TAG
Please laminate my head
Stick me in a cubicle
Ass-f*ck me 'till i'm dead
Hurricanes and earthquakes love my zen Malthusian
'cause you reek of all your cronies and dirty nepotism
I am just an effigy burning up in flames
I'd rather be just thrown away than ever born again
Suicidal tendencies cut into my flesh
To dream in phenobarbital into foreverness
I am the vicious mirror that anorexics fear
Permanent obfuscation
Believing it's real
The point blank honesty that has made you hate my face
Also makes your own opinion of no f*cking consequence
My only friends are mannequins who linger on Facebook
I just posted my obituary and no one even looked
Hello! My name is: NAME TAG
Hello! My name is: NAME TAG
Hello! My name is: NAME TAG
Hello! My name is: NAME TAG

Hi Daren, I admire anyone that can write songs in different time signatures. Don't throw this one away, keep it, 'cause it's really got something.

Definite keeper. Chris de Burgh would be proud of that face/consequence though ;)

Hey, Daren,
 
Very cool sounding and interesting fusion rocker with a psychedelic vibe and a dark vintage feel!
 
I really like the percussion, and the guitar and vocals sound great.
 
Good stuff, can't wait to hear the finished product!
 
Have a good one, bro!

@paulo: cool bro! thanks :) hey is that the Lady In Red guy ^? ;0

You got it ! ;)

I love it!  The lyrics are dark, but they tell the story.  You have one of the most creative and prolific minds here.  I can't wait to hear more of your "throwaways".

Sounds like it's got a lot of potential to me. I like the vibe and mood, the whole vocal thing..but it is getting repetitive, which is actually ok, I'm not sure I'd change the music up at all because that kind of works - although, from a listener's perspective the vocals need to go somewhere else at some point, mix it up, keep the interest.  I never felt any transition - just a steady 3 minutes of the same thing.  Again, the music portion of that actually works to my tastes, just need something in there somewhere, to go somewhere else for a minute, something....
 
It's still playing in my head, so that's saying something. 

hey bro just to let you know this was very helpful advice! thanks :) Ver 5 ( below ) incorporates a lot of your ideas of keeping interest.  i did it more instrumentation-ally, writing beats etc.. but the result is less boring and a more interesting and engaging recording imo -- cool.

Great stuff Daren - you know I'm already a fan
Love the vocal 'effect' - how many overdubbed vocal tracks do you have there?

sweet. thanks. ya i recorded each track individually- triple and double tracked old school style-  root vocal three times each with dif mic, each harmony doubled - one using condenser mic; the other, ribbon mic. so it's seven of me at once  just mixed differently in verses… second verse the harmonies are louder than the root etc to it's 'inverted' to give harmonic color … also none of the vocals are tuned as i'm kinda singing just 'under' some notes esp in the glissandos 
 
 kewl thanks again it's really painstaking and laborious to track this way but i'm digging the effect. my hip hop friends got a laugh me writing beats and sequencing so much stuff out. lot's of MIDI- totally loving Logic's loop editor- but all electric guitars are live tube amps going through 4x12's so it has a 'rock' element still in there amongst all the odd time poly-rhythms and electronica. three acoustic guitars recorded in small chamber for more 'air' and what i call "featheration" of arpeggiated strums and DADGAD open tuning chords/ vamps  

Great one Daren!  This one is even more complex than your usual undertakings, but you really pull it off well.  Intricate rhythms and melodies, and exotic styles, all expertly woven together with your masterful playing and production.  Super!

hey thanks. i tried to EQ the master to enhance the complexities / layers ;) - the out outro fade you can kinda hear all the layers "peel off" etc… various guitar acoustic and electric textures with the eastern percussives …. like an onion lol
