    Nice change in vocals from the other tunes of yours that I have listened to. Smiled at the line 'If you don't give a flying ffff...fortune'
     
    Well produced as always
     
    love it :)

    hey bio, thanks for listening...
    i think THIS song is probably more like my typical songs,
    so maybe you've heard the synth and acoustic stuff....?
     
    yea, the flyin' "f" line.....that kinda just came out.
    LOL

    WOW!  Would you ADOPT me?  That is an amazingly well done song.  BEAUTIFUL backing vocals and exquisite job of recording the acoustic guitar parts.

    Well, you are as consistent as anything when it comes to quality.   
     
    Sounds great.   Loved the back and forth vibe, sorta like dark and light.   And the ending was unexpected, and that's saying something.

    WTF did I just listen to?  Sounds like an experimental metal/rock thing you got going there man, and I dig it.  Unpredictable and interesting, totally cool. 
     
    Drums seemed a little simplistic and dry to my ears.  That's about all I could criticize.  Nice work.

    Very well done! It shows your versatility. As noted, you always seem to have a way with words. I'll be listening to this from time to time.

    thanks lynn.... this story was fairly easy to write the lyric for, it was based on a true story.
    but can be applied to LOTS of things.....
    i took my own song out of context, by using it designate life and death in the narrative of this particular album,
    even tho the original lyric was about a straight up thief

    thanks starise...
    what exactly would you CALL this 'genre'?
    i have people ask me all the time,
    and i really don't have a clue how to answer,
    i usually just say 'it's rock and roll.'

    thank you steveC, for listening and commenting....
    dark and light, that's exactly the kind of mood swing i was looking for..
    it's angry, but then it's introspective...
    then it gets angry again.
    LOL
    kinda the way i guess bitflipper is still feeling after his loss.....

    heheh, void, that made me laugh, thanks man.
     
    yes, the drums, i went round and round with those...
    i tried a dozen different mic setups and approaches,
    but this was the only one that sounded right to me.
     
    i wanted this to have a taste of prog,
    but also a taste of punk,
    and the punk said 'simple and dry',
    and this was the end result.

    hey freddy, yes, the dark/light and aggressive/mellow, all that is to work with the idea of the lyric...
    glad you catch that,
    thanks for listening
