F-word usage approved by Marty. Thanks my friend :)-amped)
HAHA! After our lengthy discussions, that is your only takeaway? Truth is I approved everything, but I only insisted on one thing: Beat with my bass guitar --a much more formidable weapon. When I "proof" your lyrics the only thing I can do is look for typos or spelling errors. So what I enjoy most is the preview of your song. This one is crazy good, which is the perfect feel for such a crazy gal. You do an incredible job with synth voices. Natalie is really quite versatile --AND she chose the 6-string bass for her weapon of choice. I really like the dynamics you incorporate in this gem. BD. Well done! Thanks Marty. In my opinion, a real bass has 4 strings, not more. But no matter how many strings it has, it is a formidable weapon when used properly

I enjoyed it but became stuck on sister/sinister each time it appeared.
The bridge is very Radiohead Creep.
I like the passive voice amidst louder rock & angry words.
It rocks well Norman! Thanks for listening, Ray. As always, your feedback is highly appreciated. I your sister / sinister problem sematic or because of the timing? If the latter, it's intentional so you don't fall asleep. You automatically focus on this instead of dozing off with the song. In the first version of the song, it was right on the beat, but when you throw it off beat, and differently each time, it gives it the uneven/unsteady feel I wanted. My wife doesn't like it either, so you're in good company  PS: "It rocks good, Norman!": I guess that's another reference I'm too young for. Or is that an Australian thing?

B.D. Very informative song Good arrangement and mix! Excellent job on putting it all together. The only thing, vocals are too "angelic", need some sort of punk/grunge treatment. Distortion? Thank you for sharing. Misha. Thanks for listening and your feedback, Misha. I really appreciate it, and agree with your findings. As I wrote above, there is already some distortion, but adding more doesn't create the effect I and you would like to hear. I'm already testing different things, but they need time to be implemented properly. Stay tuned

Yikes! We don’t wanna mess with that girl.  The band and Natalie convincingly make us feel the smoldering heat from her anger. Bud, being an upright bass player, said well at least hers wasn't as big as a couch! Kudos! J&B P.S. You can’t go wrong with the Blues Brothers. My personal survival recipe: never mess with any girl Thanks J&B for listening and the nice feedback. I didn't know Bud played an upright. Cool! But in an infight situation, the regular bass would be my weapon of choice, it's more versatile.

B,D,
I didn't know you had met my former girlfriend. That's why she was (she passed away a few years ago) an ex.
You always amaze me with your skills for the Synth voices. I downloaded the basic program but still haven't figured out very much about using it.
Yep ... that's revenge for sure!
A most entertaining listen! You do good work.

Super groove with great dynamics.
Great vocal and vocal effects - you are a master of synth vocals.
Two thumbs up.
PS - Please keep her away from me! Thanks Mario, glad you like it. No need to worry, she's in a box. Just like the rest of the band

[So I am halfway healthy again and can continue where I left off before. Sorry for the delay...] B,D,

Alan Thanks Alan for your nice feedback. I guess everyone knows (or knew) a girl like this. Synth voices are actually not that hard to master, it's like any other instrument, you learn by doing.

I like the contrast between the verse and chorus. Vocal fits verse quite well, but needs more balls for the chorus. Is there a "balls" setting for the synth vocals. Catchy tune!

B.D.,
Gosh, I could have sworn I commented on this one already . . guess not. Must have listened to it earlier . . . but at any rate, it’s an excellent effort . , , outstanding arrangement and production. You really do wonders with the vocaloid. Very cool listen . . . nice stops and starts throughout that really add to the power of the tune. Outstanding!
That said, I think she would benefit from some extensive counseling, LOL!
All my best,
Deej

Rocks well

Poor puns from this old man.

Unfortunately, the female synth singers lack an "balls" setting  But I agree, and after listening to some isolated vocals from Pink (the singer), I have a pretty good idea how to change that in the future. Thanks for listening and your great feedback, ES. I really appreciate it.
