Holey crap Robert we lived in the same house! You described my old pad to a tee!
I really like this song. Good mix with a strong vocal and a very interesting backing track.
Excellent song!
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up. Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Yeah, me too! Late 60's, early 70's .. a very special time indeed. Great writing IMHO. Loved: "Steve moves to the chicken coop wires it for sound we get out of bed to cash a check the sky`s upside down gentle Jane changes her name to New Child Arising don`t be surprised in the house with eyes leap before looking" And also: "you can`t get lost can`t get lost if you come from nowhere" Really good, Robert, enjoyed the listen!

Very well done, Robert This tune is definitely giving me a 70's vibe. I really enjoyed how cinematic and visual the lyrics are. I can almost envision what that house must've have been like. Also - the arrangement and production job is top notch. Great work, and thanks for sharing!
Cheers, Deryk

The lyrics painted such a specific picture. I can't imagine what it would be like to be alive during the 60s and the 70s, but that song really helped to create a very vivid picture for me.
Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Ember

Mario, Could be - if you made it to Vancouver and found yourself in questionable company in the early 70`s! This was just one of a community of such funky houses... all repaced with mansions now. Glad this took you back. Robert Hi Robert,
Delightful snapshot of the seventies i recall.
Cheers. Thanks for the listen Richard! Robert,
This is excellent! I love the production on this - so many layers and all working together so effectively.
Great smooth vocal as well.
Enjoyed!
Bob Bob, I was trying for an acoustic, Incredible String Band kind of sound. Thanks for with the positive comments. Robert

Robert,
A SUPERB listen!
Love the write. So expressive! Cool instrumentation.
Your vocal enhances this even further.
This is very original sounding. Somewhere between folk and psychedelic rock - unlike anything I've ever heard.
Really enjoyed this. One of your best.

This reminds me of something the Moody Blues might have done. Really trippy. Great poetic lyrics and really puts the listener in the communal house. Fantastic backing track with very unique chord changes. What a great listen and unlike anything ever posted here. I quite enjoyed it, Tom

Hello, Robert
ElectroFlutes is very effective. It has become a wonderful seasoning for folk style melodies. I always admire because you creates a magical sound every time. Your vocal is very comfortable as usual. Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Thanks very much, Dave - I had lots of material for this and had to cut out a few characters! Those were the days. Robert Very well done, Robert This tune is definitely giving me a 70's vibe.

I think those electroflutes are forever tagged with Strawberry Fields. Thanks for your listen and thumbs up! Robert Yep.... been to that house too. Cool memories were triggered by this tune,....well done. One regret about that place and other travels at that time- I thought cameras weren`t cool, so this is about the only picture I have. Thanks for listening. Robert

floyd Floyd, Thanks for those very kind impressions. Is it folk? Guess I`m not sure either - I had a sound in mind and filtered through BiaB it came out bit different ( would have liked to find a sitar to place more forward in the mix). Robert Very eclectic and interesting. Lots going on here. Really enjoyed the complex lyrics. Very well done. Rob Thank you, Rob! Robert
Wonderful work - great and different sound reminds me of something I can't quite put my finger on but very enjoyable indeed.
Peter Peter, Remember Incredible String Band`s "Painting Box"? I started with that song as a guide. Glad you enjoyed this. Robert
