When grasping the fact of me being able to just boldly be me, this song - Get A Life - came out and literally used me as a device to make itself heard. Let your own voice out - You are Special, You are Enough, You are allowed to be You. Listen to your inner self as it speaks to you and deal with it properly. - Rock Brookhill - -------------------------------------------- GETALIFE.SGU Key=Em , Tempo 140 RealTracks in style: 1522:Bass, Electric, PopPower8s Ev 120 Loop in Song: House-Techno-Trance\House - crunchy_120_drums ev16.wav RealTracks in style: 658:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm TexasRockChop Ev 120 (A:sync) RealTracks in style: 660:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm TexasRockCrisp Ev 120 RealDrums in style:BluesRockEv^1-a:Snare, HiHat , b:Snare, Open HiHat In addenum I played 3rd riff-guitar and solo - even though being a bassist :-) - into the mix done by using Reaper.

Oh Yeah... Watch it... ... Ha Ha Ha... ... Oh Yeah... Eat this... ... Ha Ha Ha Ha... B3: Knowing how sweet it feels to be free How long it takes all others to see? Just let go, release and get a life - Never again there’ll be a strain on me I’m ready to stand on my own two feet Released it all, I’ve got a brand new life Now I own my life - _________________________ I hope you like this tune!

Hello Brookhill
welcome to the forum
That's what I call a successful start ;-)
This is an excellent song
Really cool powerful sound
Great singing
Strong guitar work
For me already one of the top (hard) rock songs in the forum
I liked it very much
Many greetings
Andi ;-)

Hey, this is great! Welcome to the forum. I believe you have captured the energy that is propelling and will continue to propel a lot of the changes in the world soon, now that people have seen the insane media narrative for what it is. Yes! Life is real. Life is what YOU say it is and life is FUN. So yes, turn off CNN and get a life!! Exactly. Good job! I want to believe that in some small way you were inspired by our recent song "Life is Hard" posted elsewhere on this forum. Just kidding.  Welcome Rock!

NICE heavy rocker.
I loved it right from the start. Really good driving energy in that song. And nicely written too. I can see that being done live in a coliseum.
Couple the excellent audio with the video and ....well, it's a top quality package.
Welcome to the forums and .....what a way to introduce yourself.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Thank you, Andi! It is so heartwarming to hear you've find my song likable. This gives me needed confidence to put more of my thoughts & melodies available to others to hear & see. You'll find this song of mine also on Spotify among a few other places now: https://open.spotify.com/track/6uUxLZiPadcxwwimGZuaJ5?si=a90101af2b044927If you see it fit, add it to your playlist. Also, I really wouldn't mind, if you'd share that link to your friends... :-D You'll be hearing more of me in the future in this Forum - A Promise! :-) I listened your project song "Music Comes From Our Heart" on the Forum. You guys are great! All that done in "decentrealized studio" - tracks from around the world. So fine! Thanks again! Sincerely, RB

Hello Herb!
Thank you!!!
I am really pleased you found my tune worth listening to.
That song came out from true feeling - an outburst.
As I've never done any recordings all by myself earlier, this was a bit of a "quantumleap" to me.
Also with the video. I've never done those before.
Somekind of "flow" or "definite need" struck me and in just three days the tune was composed and arranged with lyrics and finalized in Reaper.
Making the video took approx. five days as I had to search the s/w to do it (OpenShot) and some material to show on the screen.
I added that "White Noise" intro into video a bit after the first version of the video was ready.
Probably, the next songs come out a bit easier - electronics & devices are now tested! :-D
Thanks again!
Sincerely,
RB

Hallo, Rob!
Was that above correct in Dutch?
Wonders of Google Translate ... :-D
Thank you for your kind words.
I've got more tunes "under construction", so I'll be posting more in future.
I hope I didn't set expections too high with this first one... :-D
Thanks again!

Very cool how you start off with the white noise. MAN, then you come out with that guitar (Flying V in video), and the track really begins to take off. It surely brought me with it. Very powerful. Such a good vocal. The solo is quite interesting. When you said this "Listen to your inner self as it speaks to you and deal with it properly," I knew you were a bass player.
