Hey Tommy, Man I love this song. Really great construction and fantastic production as usual. The AI vocals are okay I guess, I mean they certainly are about as good as you can get with AI but to me AI is still AI. You have one of my favorite voices around here and I love to hear you sing your own songs no matter what. To me you have a distinctive, growling Warren Zevon type sound to your vocals that grabs me right away and glues me to the song. It's magnetic. Once I start listening I can't stop. It's totally about the Tommy Ad vocals for me. I would pay someone that knows how to program this stuff to come up with a synth voice that sounds like you but not like this guy and then have you replace it or let me replace it at my end. Hope that doesn't sound rude man I'm just saying I really really like the sound of your voice in whatever shape that it's in, in it's natural form, because that's the magic for me. Anyway I really liked it man and I hope you're doing great!! I had the same thought as you and put my voice through an Ai converter. It sounded even worse than the real one. As I mentioned before this doesn’t mean that I’m through singing forever it’s just a different way of doing things for now. I getting ready to post another song and stripped out the vocals and tried to sing it. Ouch, it was not good so I put everything back. We’ll see how it goes in the future but for now I’m going to continue with my experiments. Thanks for all your support over the years. I appreciate it.

Cool.... Groovy man. The perfect amount of reverb to make it period appropriate. I'm still in awe of how easy it is to get a really good guitar solo that rivals anything a really good live player would do. Nice

My throat still hurts after listening to that. I wouldn't be able to talk for a week. This has a Springsteen, Fourth of July Asbury Park kind of vibe to it....reminiscent of the early years. Nice stuff here David.

This is really fracking good song, B.D.! Absolutely on every level. I was only part way through the listen when I realised you must have put a heck of a lot of work into it and only later did I read your blurb about it. In this song and previous ones you have a magic knack - though it's through hard work as well as talent - of making AI vocals sound 100% real, when nearly everything else I hear sounds fake and instantly loses my interest. This song just sounds 100% professional, though you'll soon have stop using the "no fans" part of your YT blurb! Re the lyrics, I totally relate to and agree with them, though from a different perspective. In my early teens I began asking all of the 'big' questions - I wanted to know why there was life - and I was 19 when I first experienced the Divine--in-All and in the following 55 years- in which I've studied virtually all spiritual traditions, various psychological models and a lot more besides - I've had more profound spiritual experiences than all of the truly spiritual persons I've ever met put together. So I class myself as a lower case 'g' gnostic (a knower) and in 2007 when I first started using social media (the Yahoo 360° site and then Multiply and others before they all vanished - FB and others came years later - I created my own Way for me, Waoism, which I class as something not serious which I take seriously, and equally something very serious which I don't take seriously. It's what I call a "genuine and authorised Act of Controlled Folly"! In simple terms I define Waoism in my YT 'about', and a part of the Controlled Folly is that Waoism being my Way for me makes me equally the most evolved, mediocre and dumbest Waoist sage ever, as well as the best, most mediocre and dumbest student there is as there can never be another Waoist.  I have 5 Waoist videos on YT which are only ever seen by a very few FB contacts, but I wouldn't want to post then here with BiaB music as the wordage and the images are more important than the soundtrack, plus I wouldn't want to offend anyone. But risking that, my Waoist Adage #59: is "Believing is the booby prize." Though not believing is just believing the opposite, thus Adage #85 is "Knowing that you don't know keeps you on the path of knowledge." I'll quote a quote from Ibn 'Arabi, a 14th Century Sufi who eventually refereed to himself as a gnostic, which I left on one of Beth's recent posts: "My heart has become capable of every form: it is a pasture for gazelles and a convent for Christian monks, and a temple for idols and the pilgrim's Ka'aba and the tables of the Tora and the book of the Qur'an. / I follow the religion of Love: whatever way Love's camels take, that is my religion and faith." Thank you very much for your nice and very detailed comment, Chay! This song was indeed the most work of any song I've ever done, and halfway through I almost gave up because I thought I'd never get this thing to work. I hope one day I will be able to remove the "no fans" stuff. Thanks for the encouragement  ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif)

Extraordinary. Among your best. I love the instrumentation, the dynamics and the stops. I could listen to this over and over. Let me know if you put this on Spotify, and I will put it in my favorites. Thanks a lot for your really nice words, Scott. There's one song ahead of this one in the queue for Spotify, so I'm guessing it will be released sometime in mid-April. I will set up a reminder for myself to send you a message when it is released.

Works for me. But I think it's not well suited for your story, it's upbeat and fun, an that's the opposite of what I feel in a traffic jam. In a traffic jam, feel this song.

One of the reasons I have been absent here. I've been working on music for several of the listings and in the agreement I signed, it says no posting online of anything that I submit to a project. Doing so risks my deal with the publisher. So.... I just signed a number of tracks to one of my publishers. When they sent out the 2025 first quarter music listings and cover sheet, there was a notification that if we hadn't already read and signed the new writer's agreement, that we would need to do that before submitting any new tracks. There was a very specific and detailed section on the use of AI generated music and lyrics, saying do not use AI in any aspect of creating music. It actually went well beyond that however, by placing a prohibition on the use of the synth vocals in any submission. Anyone who violates that section of the agreement is subject to being banned from the publisher and ALL of their music removed from the catalog. It has to do with the copyright controversy or to say it more accurately, the lack of being able to legally copyright the music under the current US-LOC regulations regarding AI and copyright. The comment in the body of the email advising everyone to be aware of the new section of the agreement essentially said if you are going to be a writer and composer of music, you should be able to write and compose without the aid of a machine....or else, why do it? Makes sense to me.

No need to apologize, Mario. It's a common problem with computers and audio, and minis and laptops are hard to shield and often have internal interference because the components are so tightly packed. A full-size metal computer case (without those “hey, look at my motherboard” plastic doors) and having a common electrical grounding for all devices involved is key.

First of all, good song, nice build. Good solo! As far as understanding listens on YT, it's a mystery to me too. Some songs that I think are pretty good get hardly any, and others that I think aren't my best work get lots. Strange place!! Enjoyed your song, lots going to to keep it interesting for such a long piece. Thanks, Dave. I totally agree with the best music posts often not getting many YT views, while those not so good, or are less commercially appealing, get a lot. I expected my 2 instrumentals with "Train" in the title would get more views as thought railway enthusiasts would find them via tag searches, but neither did. I suppose that not that many YouTubers actually do searches.

When you select the Playable RealTrack, are you seeing this message and selecting Ok? This message confirms and assigns to the Mixer Channel the Playable RealTrack instrument. Playable RealTracks are midi and have to have a midi instrument assigned in order to hear the notes selected as Playable RealTracks. Also normally, a RealTrack is on the Mixer Channel selected to edit with Playable RealTracks.

Love the guitar riff. Sounds like you were quite meticulous the the drum track. You nailed the lyrics. "Runaway train can't slow down" Yup, the brakes are shot. Great song.
