Hi All, Here's my take on a Daniel Lanois / Malcolm Burn style of production. Lots of delays, overlapping loops, distant & heavily saturated drums and sonic atmosphere. I've had this one sitting around for a while and thought it was time to set it free.  This is called Picasso Painted Horses. Picasso painted horses Dancing in the rain I was dreaming you were calling From a meadow deep in Spain You were covered by a windstorm You were held back by the beauty and the raging force And you knew you could not catch the horse You were looking like a shadow Outside the bedroom door I was dreaming you were flying Like a hawk I watched you soar You were searching for the pony You were looking in every barn and river source And you gave up and could not find the horse Picasso painted horses Now ghosts upon the wall I was dreaming you were watching When the summer turned to fall You were writing me a letter You were asking if I felt such great remorse And I did when I finally lost the horse Picasso painted horses BIAB Tracks: 2474: Bass, Acoustic, Held Ev 085 2505: Piano, Electric, HeldChords 085 2914: Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking Folky16thBrent Ev16 085 3056: Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm, Pop16ths 833: Guitar, Electric, Rhythm AltCountryMoody Ev 075 Loop: Drum n Bass - cosmos_175_Bass_F_sharp_minor Loop: Drum n Bass - cosmos_175_Pad_F_sharp_minor RealDrums: PopPromiseEv16^1-a: Snare on 4, HiHat, b: Snare As always - thanks for listening!

Bob,
LOVE the write! (you are a talent)
Love the musical "experimentation".
Cool drums.
I'm hearing this as somewhat mid-heavy (that might be MY problem - I've said that a couple of different times today in threads by others). Might be nice to have some high-end (treble-y) synth or guitar licks to balance things?
That's a minor thing. I dig this.

Bob I agree with fj, this is great stuff, so much to listen to.
I hear a little bit of Bob Dylan in your vocals, definately a good thing.
One tiny, tiny nit of a suggestion:
"You were asking if I felt such great remorse"
Great job.

Bob ...
You are a word magician. You could write the nutritional content (or lack thereof) on the back of a frozen dinner I didn't like and convince me to buy a dozen of them.
This is so different from your "regular" fare. I truly like it! Every one of your songs has a special touch. This one has many.
What a treat!

Bob, absolutely an outstanding song.
This is something that Dylan could have written back in the 60's.
Loved your vocal and lyrics!
What a great backing band and arrangement you have going in this song.
I loved everything about this one.

The title made me curious, but I had no idea what to expect.
Different in a very positive way.
Enjoyed the listen.
A lot!

Bob...I think your musical arrangement and production are a perfect match to your lyrical composition...your vocal is compelling...yeah, this could easily be a Dylan write...love the percussion and distorted guitar work...interesting, different and way cool! Dan

The crunchy drums took some getting used to against the clean vocal & guitar but it works.
The outro had some cool VU in it.
Another fabulous lyric as sound poem.
Very cool.
Cheers

Your lyrics are always so good, Bob. I was drawn in by the title and rewarded quite well. What an interesting song so well written and performed. A highly successful experiment in my ears, sir.

I'm not familiar with the style. It's no doubt an acquired taste.  As usual, the write and vocals are exceptional. Cool stuff!

Lyrically beautiful and interesting story with a captivating title and a dreamy landscape.
The nicely effected band supports that mysterious mood, the distorted drums paint a lovely mosaic.
Enjoyed your vocals. Very creative and artistic work.
(Seems like that picking guitar is missing from the instrument list)
