In the UK, here, we used to have a TV advert for paint. It showed a tin of paint, with the caption: "it does exactly what it says on the tin".  So: here's something I hope comes into that category - all comments welcome, thank you so much for listening! Gloria Tibi, DominaEDIT: I've created, today, 5 March 2023, a fuller version of the track, which hopefully addresses some of the problems the original track may have had. Here it is: Gloria Tibi, Domina (full version)See which version you prefer? And here's the band: ****** Song Summary ************* Key=C , Tempo 70, Length (m:s)=3:25 No intro. 56 bar chorus, from bar 1 to bar 56. Repeat x1 chorus No Melody No Soloist track.

James, nice cool lounge type music.
On this side of the big pond something like this would be played while people were eating.
Nice blend.
I get most of my exercise these days from shaking my head in disbelief.

The Country grace notes in the piano track make for an interesting difference...

James,
Nice instrumental, good arrangement and production. I was looking for a bit of a change up at some point, maybe some additional instrumentation—though kicking up the drums in spots helped. Good work!
All my best to you,
Deej

Mario, floyd and Deej:
Thank you so much for your kind comments!
Hmm ... on listening back, I must say I'm not convinced by this track of mine, haha. I've done better in the past ... and something, something's lacking - maybe the change that Deej was looking for, maybe something else. I'll listen to it again and do some more work on it, when i can. In the meantime, thanks for listening to it, such as it is - and THANK YOU for your kind comments, once more!

Well, the piano could use some treatment, perhaps compression to tame the loud chords, and I'd like to hear the rest of the band more.
The composition is pleasant and it held my interest.

Sweet tickling piano. The whole piece says, "This is James Delsono." And the listen tells me it's good to hear from you. I DO, however, miss your voice in this. Yet, I'd often listen to your tracks a couple times just to concentrate on the music, too. Well done!

olemon: thank you. I've tried to address the concerns you and others have voiced, in a new version (see original post). Thanks for helping me along!!!
Marty: kind words, as always. Hopefully the fuller version sounds even better? :-) But THANK YOU for listening. I am truly grateful - particularly as I've struggled a little for inspiration, lately!

I just listened to the full version and I can also imagine this being played in a restaurant or something.
However, I think some vocals would help the song keep my interest, as it is now I'm waiting for something to happen that isn't coming.

Hi James,
I had a listen to your original a couple of days ago but didn't have time to comment.
Just had a listen to your updated version, and it's much better, has a better groove. Could use one of your spoken word things on top, but it works this way too as background type music.

B.D. Thomas, Blue Attitude and Scott: thanks so much for listening and commenting!
B.D. Thomas: I tried to create an instrumental that would keep people's attention. If it doesn't do that on its own, then something is amiss ... I will have another listen, it's been crazy round here, of late, and it's not slowing down - but I'll check again, as soon as I can! Again, thanks for listening and for commenting!
