Thanks Robert.
Gritty is probably the polite word for it.
Was going to be heavy metal but then I came across those guitar RealTracks and lightened up a bit. Glad you liked it.
Cheers.

Hey, there, "RichMac"...

I think you're channeling Pete Seegar with your song, "When The Walls Come Down", in that the lyrics resonate with the message conveyed in "If I Had A Hammer", which is the idea that the communication needed to effect change won't happen 'til some ideological hammers start to swing to make some dividing walls come a' tumblin' down!

Your lyrics have sharp points on them, and your voice delivers their meaning like a man attempting valiantly to defend himself in an unfair fight:

"Blinds pulled tight / Self made man / Keepin' out tomorrow like you had a plan..."

"What you gonna do when the walls come down? / Light streams in / Take a hard look 'round..."


Oh, yes, sir, plenty of intellectual ammo for a spirited debate here, for certain, and nicely wrapped up in an anthem-like musical coat!

Gritty, urgent songwriting, this is, "RichMac". It could make difference to anyone who listens to it.

"Going a bit dystopian are you?"-J&B

Nah I'm happy enough. (maybe a bit mad)
I think it's the rest of the world that's dystopian. (had to look it up)
What with walls going up, extreme nationalism, sabre rattling and protectionism
what would happen if the walls came down. (of course I have no idea)
Good song theme though.
Glad you guys enjoyed it.

Cheers.

Thanks for the positive comments Dave and thanks to Chris for the 5 Armed angels explanation. I am no longer thinking about angels with 5 arms or machine guns.
Cheers.

Hey Rich, that was some neat sounding stuff!! Good use of those instruments playing off of each other right at start of the some and continuing on through. Kind of a dark mood to the song but it works well. Take care, Torrey

Thanks Torrey.
I do enjoy making these songs and hope to improve as a technician.
The voice i'm afraid is only getting worse at 77.
And I love the comments.
Cheers.
