Here's a reggae number that feels like a dance tune, only the lyrics are a little more somber. The title is "Honorable Discharge." I hope you enjoy it.

https://soundcloud.com/sam-buttrey/honorabledischarge

It's 3:17 long.

Style is _REGGAS2.STY (Slow Swing 16 Reggae 2)
RealTracks in style: 1157:Bass, Electric, ReggaeSlow Sw 075
RealTracks in style: 1160:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm ReggaeSlow Sw 075
RealTracks in style: 1158:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm ReggaeSlow Sw 075
RealTracks in style: 1159:Organ, B3, Rhythm ReggaeSlow Sw 075
RealDrums in style: ReggaeTambo^1-a:Sidestick, Tambourine , b:Sidestick, Kick

The "trumpet" I added via a MIDI keyboard. EQ and reverb come from my DAW, which is Reaper.

Hi Buttrey
Yeah, this is unexpected. Good vocals & lyrics. Trumpet was OK as well. Interesting choice of genre. Moves nicely along rhythmically. Thanks for sharing smile

Great track! I’m not sure who would be “dancing” regarding this theme!

I liked the rather flat production..I think it was perfect for the message delivery. Sometimes less is more, if you know what I mean, and this was a perfect example of that approach.

I liked your lyrics storytelling— you got the message across clearly and effectively, and I liked the trumpet addition to give it some instrumental flair. Thanks for posting!!

Hi Buttrey,

Original song choice when it comes to both style and text.
Really different!
Very well done.

Really nice job on this one! I love the reggae groove here. It's something you don't hear much on the forums, and really stands out here. That aside, the contrast of the beat with your very clear and concise vocal delivery really makes this one memorable.

Great work, and thanks for sharing smile


Cheers,
Deryk
