... One 'head that's a diminutive of Richard' politician said he's pro the right to protest, but why can't people just protest at home? !!! What?! Missing the point, much!  That is indeed a _real_ WTF statement. Thank you for listening and your nice comment, Wao ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif)

Great tracks. The power rock groove is fits the lyrics perfectly. Nice Synth V work. I never heard Natalie sound so good. Have you tried Ninezero? He may bring a bit more edge to this type of song. Very nice work Thank you, Elliott, for listening and for your nice feedback. I actually have Ninezero, but hate his annoying nasal sound. If I had known that this nasal sound could not be configured away, I would never have bought it.

Nice song. I love the dynamics from rocker to acoustic and back again. Thanks, Herb, for listening and your positive feedback

Hi, Brain. Nice song! I was going to make a couple comments, but I see you beat me to them... But before you ask: No, I have no idea what exactly I'm protesting against, but I'm pretty sure it's important. Yep. Perhaps a bit too generic, but then, people are always saying that songs should be universal, and what could be more universal than a song that applies to everything?  For a change, I tried a wild mix of end rhymes and internal rhymes
I think it kinda works.
At least I'd like to think so. Yep, the work well enough. The inner rhymes were fun. You've got some sort of distortion on the vocal that didn't work for me. Not a big deal. The title doesn't seem to match the song. The POV of the title addresses people, telling them they need to fight for their rights, while the POV of the song is the narrator addressing the towe-dwelling bloodsucking vampire freaks. Not a big deal at all. I like the contrast between the verse and chorus - it's always good to have a song make the sound different. Anyway, good job. Hi David, thanks for listening and your detailed feedback. Much appreciated as always The distortion you mentioned is intentional. I figured an angry girl shouting out loudly into a mic wouldn't care that the meters are deep red, giving it more authenticity. I have to admit that it's not so pleasing to the ear. You have a good point with the POV, it wasn't an easy decision between "...for my rights", "...for our rights" and "...for your rights". The first one sounds selfish and the last one is not exactly what the song is about. But the second option, in my opinion, has such a bad flow (as a title) that I didn't like it at all.

Well, we’re ready to march with you so when do we start?! 😉
Of late whenever we see the news we get the same angry feeling.
Natalie and the bgv’s sound great and the lyric rhymes work very well.
That is one amazing vocal ... the intonation and phrasing is outstanding.
Great mix ... clean, open and a nice soundstage on the KRK's.
Excellent!
J&B Thanks J & B for listening and commenting, especially on the vocals and the production. Watching or reading the news is indeed a good source of emotion when you want to write a protest song. I try to avoid that, though...

Hey Brain
You're pretty good at this song-writing stuff, ya know?
Excellence in every facet. Lytric, synth vocals, backing tracks - all top shelf. I fully agree with the message - nicely done. It's always a pleasure to listen to your music. there's never a disappointment. I'm glad you joined the forum a while back. Hope you stay for a long time.
Best to you,
Alan Thank you, Alan, for listening and your words of encouragement. I don't think I'll be leaving this place anytime soon. Nice people, great music and always something new to learn

Gave this a spin when you first released it, and good to give it another!
Excellent in all aspects, loved it. It's very encouraging for me when musicians from different genres find something good and/or interesting in my music. Thanks Dave

Wow cool groove to the song. Low end was awesome. Had my sub pumping. Cool hook in the melody. Well done Thanks Scott for listening and your comment. I always start the mixing process with drums and bass. For my workflow, it doesn't make sense to do anything else until a solid low end foundation is in place.

Hi B.D. Thomas
Beautiful, very eye-catching construction. It's pleasant with its softer passages and this rhythm which comes back in force. well done.
