Re: I'm Your Man AurealiusB Yesterday at 11:28 PM Forum: User Showcase
Mario, So good so hear such positive comments on this song! This is perhaps my favorite melody of all the songs I've written. I'll let Kathy know (will send her link to this post). One more thing about Kathy as a lyricist -- she did an incredible job writing a great love ballad like this one and especially from a man's perspective. AurealiusB

Thanx Brian, I'm glad you liked it and thanx for the birthday wishes.

Thanx so much. I do like those Swam instruments. They can sound very close to the real instruments.

You got me Andrew. I just spend 2 hours looking in BiaB for the birthday style and I don't have it! Actually it was a pizza with a pepperoni on my t-shirt and a bottle of beer.

Thanx Vic. I love the jazz from the 50's and 60's. Miles, Coltrane, Wes, and The Bird just to name a few.

Re: Shoot Before You're Shot MarioD Yesterday at 10:53 PM Forum: User Showcase
AurealiusB, this is an extremely clever song. I thought this was going to be about guns, that is until I heard the lyrics. You made Kathy's lyrics come to life. Great vocal, harmonies, and backing tracks. IMHO this is your best to date.

THANKS, Aurealius! Not saying I couldn't have channeled another vocalist, but don't think it was THIS one. It's a nice performance, but not remotely similar except for the subject. But...who DOESN'T love a good UFO song???

Ha! That's funny, John. I often hear a new Weezer song and think we could have written that. River Cuomo is my kinda crazy.

I was typing my message to you and then "Spot on the wall" followed, another lovely song. I say: very well done, chapeau (meaning 'praise' here). Hans
Why, THANK YOU, Hans. As for inspiration, it's all my brother's concept, and he doesn't provide a lot of background me most of the time. Have noticed that he'll take an interesting snapshot or headline and extrapolate a whole story from it. So wouldn't surprise me if some news blurb about our "transparent" government was inspiration. Frankly, folks here have been WAY more interested in the Epstein files, or so it seems. But I personally find alien lore MUCH more interesting. smile

My wife has the latest Pro iPhone and I have a Google Pixel and I won't even listen to anyone's music on a phone (without headphones anyway) and I would never even consider using one to record anything other than one of my friends bar / cover bands . . .
