Bob, Smooth melancholic tune. Excellent set of lyrics, music bed and vocals. This is great: "Felt the space of January Like ashes on the radar He was painting all the words By the bright light of a blackstar" Thank you for sharing. Misha. P.S. I usually travel every year to Catskills region. This tune reminded me that I have to visit an old friend before snow falls.

I like that opening guitar riff. What a cool rocker! Love that classic sound. Spin that vinyl. I enjoyed this and was rocking (literally) in my seat as I listened.

It just started to feel like fall here this weekend with temps in the 60s. The flugelhorn and sax sound so authentic. Especially the flugelhorn. Wow! Beautiful composition. I especially like the interplay between the horn and sax.

The music itself evokes a feeling of a bird in flight. Such a beautiful bird! The video clips are gorgeous. Nicely done.

Mario, Smooth tune. Flugelhorn and sax are the stars of the show. Mix is clear. Listens well except I found that drumming cymbals (?) are a bit repetitive, but I am sure that is they way you wanted Thank you for sharing. Misha.

Hi Folks. This was an experimental tune that I sketched out a while back, but finally got around to finishing it (not sure if that is the correct term). Mix was a very long journey, and as some of you are aware, when you listen to something for a long time, you lose focus. That is what I think happened here. Please turn the volume down-its loud. All constructive feedback is always welcomed and thank you for giving this time. Catacombs Lyrics: Long summer day has gracefully resigned Myria

Nice production and write. I found the piano jumpy, but since I play a bit of piano, I'm probably pickier than most. Sounded good on the second listen, too.

It's a pleasant arrangement, but it lacks melody, which means it's going to rely on the chord progression for direction. And that's where I run into problems. You seem to throw in chords with no preparation that are unrelated to prior chords, and they don't seem to lead the progression, either. I'm left scratching my head wondering what's happening. As the song goes on, these chords appear with even more frequency. So, pretty song, but I can't follow where it's going.

Hi James, I listened to your new version. It is a lot better, but what comes up in my mind is 'what do you want to tell me (the listener) or try to achieve? Every time I get used to a certain chordprogression and expect it to stay there or go one step above, you decide to'go two steps lower or something like that. and that is confusing me, the listener. It is a good thing not to do what everyone expects you to, but don't do that all the time. The title "Dreaming of Angels" is a beau

Hi Janice & Bud, Often we think we know nature and it always surprises us if we approach it closely. The kingfisher is a bird that gives without necessarily wanting a return. Many animals have ampathy that many humans do not necessarily. All these animals have sensitivity, sociability, suffering and intelligence that we are currently discovering. I am happy to hear your comment, nature lovers. thank you for your nice comment.

Hello Floyd, Thanks for your nice reply on the song. It is a 'heavy' song. I had some hard times and couldn't have sunny thoughts. This song came up in my head all that time. I know why, but let me conclude with that I liked the melody. The darker the better... And it was true. I really had those dreams when I was young. But thanks for liking this song.

Hi Vic, I survived the last couple of moths. Thanks for asking. They were like hell I wish I could improve the vocals the way you like them to be, but there is a problem: I don't hear that.

Hello WaoBand, Your V1 is a most entertaining video and a gorgeous band. I enjoyed watching and following the development in Casanova's life. It took some time, but the story was very entertaining. And a (somewhat) happy end for all. The music was very nice. It sounded not so prominent, but it was really good. I wondered, while watching, how you came to this way of making a song and that story, with nice drawings by the way. It is very creative! I think I also have to watch V2, but, as I sai
