Sweet sounds, Einar. Extrordinary talent here, man. I like how you use BiaB, picking out inspiration, and the best pieces to add to your already good mix to make it better. Much enjoyed.


Enjoy whatever happens!

A well balanced production and a really lovely ballad with an excellent and dynamic guitar solo break.

Some obvious Pink Floyd elements, but that's a good thing.
I like the melancholic mood and the way you use the guitars.
Very good.
Your vocals fit the genre very well.
I would like to have the lyrics, as a non-native speaker I don't understand everything. Most of it I do, though.
Enjoyed my listen.
A lot!

Sounds like something Pink Floyd would do, "Wish you were here" kind of vibe. And nothing wrong with that in my book wink Great playing, liked your vocal too.

Enjoyed!

Hi Moisenhouse,

Don't think we've met. Nice to hear your music. I really enjoyed this song. It is reminscent of so many good and moody tunes from my past. Your vocals are pleasant too.

Thanks for listening and commenting, Marty, Elliot, WaoBand, B.D. Thomas, Paul, Dave, DC Ron, Laurent, Floyd and BYO Band! THANKS!

And YES, inspired by Pink Floyd. At my age, the "timeless" music of old heros gives me more joy than the new music of today. Guess it's just age. Every decade used to have its own sound, now the trends change faster.

B.D. Thomas: Here comes the lyric:

The Call

Hear them call
Voices from the past
Hear them howl
As the tide turns fast

Call my name
The one I forgot
The aching shame
Of what I lost

Tears of pain
Burns like fire
Tearing me apart
My cry grows higher

Take me home
Where I belong
Give me peace
Love me strong

Hear my call
– through the rain
Hear my call
– through the pain
Hear my call
– carry my shame
Hear my call
– shout my name

Have mercy on me

Such a cool mellow and laid back sound. I like the build with the guitar at 1:40+ and the the build dies back down with the vocal. Very effective. Excellent musicianship and vocals.

Einar this is an outstanding song.
Loved the groove and vocal
Super instrumentation
Mixed perfectly

This is a great example of how you can create something beautiful with a simple, uncluttered framework. There was much “repeating” in the foundation of this track, which excellently served the soloing, the vocals, and the lyric message. It gave it a meditative quality. Thanks for this work.

Hi Einar,

A very good song! Indeed inspired by Pink Floyd, but what a good build up of the song, intriguing!!!
Your vocals too. At first very low, but then they shine. I like that
Also like the lyrics.

Very creative work! Lovely ballad. I enjoyed your moody voice, the calming band and especially the excellent guitar solo that goes under my skin together with its rising melody. Welcome back, I seem to have liked your tracks already 9 years ago, but I hope to hear and like more in the future smile
