 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!!

I thought the instrumental intro was good. Nice use of flange.

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

Bad trips, yuk! Great music, Nice!
I love the feel of whole piece, well done.
Listened to a couple of other pieces there as well, I really like your sense of rhythm.

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

Thanks to all for listening - much appreciated!  I was really hoping you guys would dig this.  
 
Wookie, Freddy J - my apologies on the player problems.  I reported it to SoundClick support and they are not finding an issue, even though you fellas and myself ran into this yesterday.  They are citing connection speed issues.  This song is a 320Kbit MP3, and it's 7:53 long, so I think what is happening is if our connection is not really fast, with few errors, then it "stops" rather than "buffering" once it plays all that's been downloaded.  If you notice, the "pause" button doesn't work either, rather it "stops" songs and reloads them to the beginning.  The player is terrible, and they are not fixing it.
 
I think I'm finding why I need to go to Soundcloud instead.  I've always like SoundClick, but now that I'm paying for it and uploading long songs with fairly high quality MP3's, I need something more reliable.
