Mario, Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment. I am really glad you like this tune. I am truly grateful to the vocalist and the pianist. I am always very encouraged by your kind words. Best regards. Shigeki Adachi
Ron, This song is incredibly catchy. The lyrics seem to be a reference to the upcoming release of UFO information soon in U.S.A. The sound is a bit Beach Boys-esque. The vocals are fantastic. Enjoyed my listen a lot. Best regards. Shigeki Adachi
Hi Chay. Once again, you've taken me on an excellent musical adventure. I love what you have done. This rock version is very creative and highlights the versatility of your impressive arranging skills. This song is terrific listening from beginning to end. --Noel
Thank you so much, Noel! It's the sampling, arranging and mixing I find most fulfilling after first being satisfied with a chord structure, but it doesn't always work as hoped and just recently I had to scrap an entire project I'd been working on for days!
Aurealius, a fantastic dance song. A real toe tapper. Great groove, backing band, and mix. IMHO this is your best to date. PS - How did you come up with that "you talk to your plants" line? That brought a smile to my face!
Brilliant lyrics, brilliantly performed; perfect instrumentation and arrangement, plus brilliant Jo-Jo harmony vocals. Definitely one of your best, Bob!
A FANTASTIC piece of music, Mario! So well done hitting all of these notes to create that Mid-Eastern vibe. It reminds a little of Phil Thornton & Hossam Ramzy's new age Egyptian-style music,
Matt, Waves has a wacky (to my way of thinking) Waves Update Plan that encourages users to keep paying for updated programs, but I've never needed it. I'm still using licenses I purchases over a decade ago without issue.
Same here. Just make sure that you have everything backed up.
… Sorry that I forgot to give you a thumbs up earlier. But still, even though I was late, I was apparently the first to post a comment on your song on YouTube. How is that possible, with all those nice comments here?
Thank you Hans! Any thumbs up and commentary is appreciated, no matter the timing!

Thanks J & B! I’ll accept Neil Young any day!

And as always, pleasant chord progression and melody, Your vocals deliver the message from the heart.
Hi Janne! Yes, I really like the RealStyle used as well - I am glad you liked my guitar motif addition. Regarding the lyrics, it’s a bit of a mixed bag - but isn’t life?

Thanks Scott! I am on the quirkiness spectrum, if there is such a thing. Thank you to all for listening and commenting! Andrew
Scott, Love this! The story, lyrics, vocals - everything just works so well. And an awesome mix to wrap it all up! Bob
Gosh, thanks, Bob:)

That all means a lot, Floyd! Thanks so much.

I needed some contrast, and I tried and failed at various options along the way, so I'm glad it works okay. Thanks for listening and for mentioning that.

Thanks for the spin and taking the time to comment.

I met him in 1968 when I was art college in Grimsby, UK (I was 17), and he and the Fish had their last gig on their UK tour at the Winter Gardens, Cleethorpes, an adjoining grim town! I and other art students were going to do the light show, but we didn't as the students union said we still had to pay to get in, so instead we enjoyed the show without working! Barry Melton was the only one of the original Fish left. Peter S. Albin and Dave Getz from Big Brother replaced Bruce Barthol and Chicken Hirsh on bass and drums, and a new guy, Mark Kapner, replaced David Cohen on keyboard. After the gig I got all of their autographs except Dave Getz' who was in a really stinging mood! Joe also signed one of my episcope slides which I'd made for the light show that never was. All of then apart from Getz were super-friendly. I was a drummer at the time and Chicken Hirsh was a major influence as he was an all around percussionist. "You Know What I Mean" a spoken fun story by Country Joe
Catchy country rock song with an upbeat message. I really like the lyrics which contain so many nice facts "This is a life without guarantees/Can't always get just what you please" and on the other hand advices like "Don't miss your chance, don’t let your life go by", always nice to be reminded of these simple universal truths. The life experience expressed by the vocalist fits perfectly with the story. The band rocks and the mix is lush, great work! Janne
