Nice Hendrixy guitar.
Thanks


Hi Ray, you weren't even complaining...! And thanks for your nice comment on the song. Yes, this topic needs a fast solution.
But I wasn't aware this guitar was a Hendrixy. Maybe next time you could do it? Or are you too busy with the Spirits?

Thanks,
Hans

An excellent write - touching on a lot of important issues.
Good tracks. Excellent vocals - lots of passion.
The mix is good (the lead guitar was slightly louder than it needed to be, I think).
Well done! Hopefully the truth will eventually prevail.

Hi Floyd, I'm starting to feel proud with your words... No EQ-issues this time! I really worked hard on that and watched a buch of YouTube videos to bring me closer to a solution. Apparently it worked. Only some adjustments on the leadguitar and, according to Robert, on the lyrics. These advices help me and I am grateful for that!

You asked for input; I think the lyrics and your vocal delivery would be even punchier with small edits in a few places, eg:

Our world is in trouble, and we can't sleep
Democracy is eroding, we weep

cut the "and" & the "is" giving you more space for words that matter to sync with the rhythm.
I`m with you on the message and enjoyed hearing you put it to this beat.

Hi Robert, thanks a lot for your kind words and advise. I just wrote Floyd I appreciate these kind of advises. And you are 'a crack' on lyrics. Who can help me more on that than you? Oh, I must not forget Ray. I always try to follow his advise, although i like teasing him a bit. Don't know why, but I do.
I will try to change the lyrics and make them more punchy, but it will take a while.

The message is very clear. We shall see next election if people changed their opinion of the "leader". Thank you for sharing!

Misha.


Hi Misha, thanks for your nice words. I was pretty sure we wouldn't disagree on the lyrics. But it was nice to (not) read about the EQ. So, I'm improving step by step. One day we make a song together!

Have a nice day,
Hans
