Sam I Am I have to give you a bit of background information, or else this song might no make any sense. I wrote this as part of an award this month at our department meeting for my colleague and friend Sam. You would have to know him to get all the lyrics and the humor. It's not a serious endeavor on my part and not very cohesive either. Sam loves his theme song, by the way. I created the choir-like vocal effect by singing each of the five vocal parts three times. I also used this song as an excuse to play around with Native Instruments Schema Dark

Ezekiel, absolute AWESOMENESS! The concept is inspired. I don't know Sam, but I think I do now. And I want some green eggs and ham now, too. Ha! Great lead vocals and choir. Everything sounds clear and the vocals shine despite all the activity in the background. Sam's lucky to have a friend like you. I think.

Ha!
That's a damn cool song.
I'm amazed at how well you got the vocals right against such a busy background.
Production awesomeness.
I take my virtual hat off to you, Scott!

You are showing some serious skills with this piece, excellent!

Ezekiel, IMHO this is your best to date.
I liked Sam the song and I know I would like your friend Sam.
The choir and Sam's speech were perfect - brilliant!
Outstanding backing band.
Super groove and mix.
Loved it.
You know you're getting old when a recliner and a heating pad is your idea of a hot date!

Your "I think" reminds me of when I played the song at the meeting, I said to Sam, "I hope you're still talking to me." He said, "I absolutely loved it." He wife said that I have him down to a T.

Thanks, Ron. Your "I think" reminds me of when I played the song at the meeting, I said to Sam, "I hope you're still talking to me." He said, "I absolutely loved it." He wife said that I have him down to a T. Ha! Could see that coming. Seriously, this is an epic song, and you absolutely killed it. Glad it was received in the spirit intended. That's tricky territory...

Absolutely fantastic. I may not know Sam, but I get it. What a great tribute to your friend. I’ll bet the rest of the crowd were amazed at your creative talent. What a great way to use it, Tom

Hahahaha.  Nice portrait. And bonus points for the "duckery" line - it really is a thing! I now have an image of Shakespeare being performed by a paddling of ducks, with Hamlet quacking to Ophelia "Get thee to a duckery!
