Nice one Rob,
I got a strong vibe of David Essex's hit album Rock On...lots of cool dark sounds on that and this.
The vid is fabulous too.
I would offer that you could reduced the whistle when you speak and sing "sometimes" though. It's mainly the initial S though the last one jumps occasionally.
REALLY cool song & vid...I want it to keep going.


Cheers

Impressive work, so many instruments but still sounds quite minimal. Nice bassline and cool use of the talking. Cinematic, I could imagine this in a David Lynch movie.

Really professional looking video, supports the narrative very well.

Quite a good build to this edge-of-your-seat sound, Rob. I like the hypnotic bass. Very well written piece.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Very cool song. Rob. The video added a lot to the suspense of the song. I am with Marty. Kept me engaged until the vocal kicked in. Very well done..

Rob, I almost missed this masterpiece!

Love that bass and how you had various instruments playing around it. Very clever and professionally mixed.

Then the vocal, loved it.

IMHO this is your best to date!

Rob,
Very cool track. Soundlicious. Cinematic? Sure. But I think has a potential to be a little more. Ended too soon. You unrolled it at ~1:40..., that culmination begged to stay for a minute or so longer than it did smile Good one. Enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

Hi Janne.
I was messing around on the keyboard when I came up with
the bass. The whole song was written around that bass.
Many thanks Rob4580

Your creativity has no bounds

An amazing listen and watch.

The forethought that must go into producing that video is remarkable.

And built around the bass notion. How cool!
