Hi Alexander

A Clapton reference - I'll take that and appreciate it at any time. Thank you very much!

Well done.
The bass could have a bit more high-pass, it is a bit boomy in some places.


Hey B.D.

"Hollow Soul" is a euphemistic colloquialism (euphemistische Umgangssprache - auf Deutsch) in parts of the US. It means that due to some action or event, a person is left feeling empty inside - extreme sadness, loneliness, overwhelming emotional pain.

All that said, I'm delighted you enjoyed the song. And yeah, bodhrans are pretty cool!

Thanks again for listening and commenting. I appreciate it.

Alan

Great mix.

Mario,

And what a fantastic review! Thank you very much. Now, you're gonna have to send me twenty bucks so I can buy a much bigger hat!

Take care & stay warm.

Hi Brad,

Thank you so very much! I appreciate all that! The reso ended up being a pretty easy choice. The Brad Paisley and Alison Krause song "Whiskey Lullaby" had a lot of influence on the development of this one.

Wishing you the very best,

Alan

Very mellow. Listening to the music and also noting the attached SoundCloud photo had me recalling a time in my late teens when I got stuck in a shower when the door jammed. It's how I felt when I only had cold water and a soggy spliff. Very melancholy. laugh

Hello Wao,

Melancholy was the intention. Thank you for making that comment. Well, I've never had a shower event as frustrating as yours! Hope you didn't wrinkle up to badly! Might be the cleanest you've ever been when you eventually exited the shower!

Thanks for the listen and nice comments.

Alan, This is a beautiful instrumental. Your work with these real tracks is nothing short of amazing. Your combinations of instruments always seems the perfect fit. You wouldn't be able to do this without years of extensive musical knowledge. Very well done and extremely pleasant to the ears, Tom

Hi Tom,

That's so very kind of you to say. I'm very happy you liked the song. I hope this doesn't sound too self-serving, but I can pretty much hear the instrumental combinations in my head before I ever put them into use. It's the same with chords and chord progressions. I pretty much know what the chords sound like before I even play them (in combination with other iterations of the song project). I can't really explain it beyond that. I know no music theory whatsoever, cannot read nor write notation, etc.

I think it might be attributed to 50+ years of playing in bands plus a minimum of one hour of practice almost every day. Also, I like so many genres of music. I do a little trad Country, Modern Country, Smooth Jazz, and Smooth RnB every practice session. There are atypical nuances that can be used (sometimes slightly altered) from one genre to the next that might not be a common practice among traditional composers. I put this song together in less than four hours from first thought to what you hear. Okay, done rambling. In summation, I guess I just have a gift for hearing things that usually work musically.

Again, thank you very much for the wonderful comments!

Best to you.

Alan
