I haven't been too active of late, couldn't be helped. I do listen to everything posted, I just can't comment much.

Here is a song about Space, and our reluctance to reach for it.

Dream
©2012 Robert Randall Burke


What a dream we had
But we let it slip away
We could touch the stars
From a million miles away

But little men with little minds
Came in
And stole the dream away.

Fools rush in
And steal our futures
Where they've been, nobody knows.

What a dream we had
We were going to the stars
What a dream we had
We were on our way to Mars.

But little men with little minds
Came in
And stole the dream away.

Fools rush in
And steal our futures
Where they've been, nobody knows.

This is GORGEOUS!, Bob...

Your are SUCH a fine songwriter - you say more with a few words than any I've ever known. A real talent. Blows me away every time.

The production on this is every bit a match for the superb writing.
The vocal on this is every bit a match for the superb writing. (Love the processing).

LOVE that stop!

Top shelf stuff, through and through.

Looking forward to the next one!

Superb, wonderful arrangement, some great touches (loved the echo on the vocal)
and a nice melodic solo.
Great song.

I hear lots of really good songs on this forum, and every so often I hear something great. This is one of those times!

As far as the subject matter goes, the future seemed so positive after that first moon landing, but then everything basically stopped! I often wonder what the world would be like today if they had kept on going with that line of research instead of finding new and better ways to blow the crap out of each other.

This is really special, Bob! Excellent production, just the right treatment on that vocal. Stop was brilliant! I also like your lead playing, very melodic with great tone.

No worries on commenting on my tune, I am aware of your condition that makes it difficult to type.
Just keep on posting more of these songs please smile

Bob,

Very good!I really enjoyed the chord progression on this - yes, Floyd -like as has been noted. You also nailed the vocal with that sense of foreboding coming through.
Inspired ending too.

Robert

Tremendous. That has been a dream of mine since I was a kid.

The word is overused...but, what the heck, this production is mesmerizing.

It's a wonderful confluence of lyric/vocal with the perfect backing tracks.

Outstanding!

This is very reminiscent of pink Floyd and David Bowie. Great write. Rob

+1 on What Dave said. This song is in the great category. Just loved your vocal and lyric. I too got the Pink Floyd vibe. Guitar was excellent. Just some very sweet placing...
Posted By: jannesan Re: Dream - 06/03/18 03:43 AM
Beautiful melancholy melody and chording, nice simple arrangement, great vocals and lyrics, superb guitar soloing. Pink Floyd and David Bowie vibes to me also.

Everything about this is top shelf. I really liked the stops and the effects on your vocals.
Posted By: Al-David Re: Dream - 06/03/18 09:15 PM
Everyone has already mentioned the appropriate accolades. Just know I feel the same way. That stop with the perfect amount of decay was terrific. The guitar work, vocal, backing tracks - all stellar. Kudos!

Excellent stuff, Bob.

A million miles away from your usual style and yet still so engaging and accomplished.

I heard Bowie before Pink Floyd, but yes, both in there.

Nice to hear you playing lead up-front - you should do that more often!

Going back for a second listen.

Regards, ROG.

Bob,

Surprisingly good. Don't get me wrong, your songs are always good, but this takes everything to a whole new level.
There's great dynamics in this song, some dark atmosphere and really beautiful vocals!

Rob
Posted By: Deryk - PG Music Re: Dream - 06/06/18 10:22 AM
Wow - simply put, this is beautiful. It reminds me of the intros to certain Pink Floyd songs, which for me is a major compliment. It sounds so lush and ethereal - paired with the bewildering lyrics, this is a tune to behold.

You outdid yourself on this one - thanks for sharing!
Posted By: rharv Re: Dream - 06/06/18 08:38 PM
Very cool work Bob. Great job
I enjoyed it both times I listened (so far)
And yes, Pink Floyd definitely came to mind.

I can't really add more to this that hasn't already been said, but I just wanted to let you know that I thought this was a pretty stellar song. grin

Wow, very cool Bob. I love the chord progression and the overall Floyd vibe. Your guitar solo is just right - short and to the point. And the hanging ending is spot on also! A very enjoyable listen.

There are no two ways about it. You are very talented! Like floyd, what impresses every time is how you use so few words to create such a wonderful lyric journey. I find that such a hard thing to do and yet you make is look so very easy.

To my ears, everything about this shines.

All the best,
Noel

Excellent song, production,arrangement, mix and performance. It has it all. I loved it.

Dave
Posted By: Guitarhacker Re: Dream - 06/18/18 02:06 PM
Very nice.


I listened to both versions and like the overall sound quality of the second one. It has a smoother sound to it and the bass isn't overloaded.

Yep..... gotta agree with the rest. A good mix and good write with lots of evident influence from Pink Floyd and to a lesser degree Bowie. The solo was tasty.
Posted By: HearToLearn Re: Dream - 06/22/18 12:29 PM
90 dB of Pink Floyd. This song is soooooo cool! That's not an easy sound to create or pull off. You make it seem effortless. If this was on the radio, I would turn it for sure! Great job!
Posted By: beatmaster Re: Dream - 06/22/18 12:59 PM
Pink Floyd as said on the previous posts,Spot on.

You deserve all the comments received on this.
Well done.

YES!!! I too was blown away by this. Very Pink!! I think I used the same drum RT on my Floyd tribute song, but I can't play guitar like you. I also loved the vocal processing. What was your signal path on that? GREAT STUFF Bob!! Take care. Greg

Greg,

Thanks for the kind comments. If I remember correctly, the signal path on the vocal was just compression, reverb and delay.
