DETAILS :
1. as with all my songs ....done with biab/rb/reaper combo.
note...if i remember correctly i used some of reaps built in geetar amp models on the zany lead guitar break. with dabblings of low resource useage plug ins. pg's plus reapers etc on various other traks.
(NOTE...i urge anyone to really get into both the pg dx plug in suite as well as the reaps js plug ins etc. both are a treasure trove if you dig deep.imho.)
2. verse 1 is about "too much hatin' in world" etc.
3. verse 2 bring me southern comfort if you visit...lol. then chorus.
followed by...
4. very zany crazy lead break then some sax.
5. i say "trying to do the best i can" in the chorus. YOW ! ...lmao.
6. outtro. once again crazy zany guitar on outtro.
and moi saying "thats some crazy lead guitar".
7. please feel free to criticise. i'm a big boy. its just another piece of song lunacy from yours truly.
i'd be interested in what people think of use of sax, organ,..and my vocs.

i'll replace song with a new one in a weeks time.
(ive been busy.)

ive loads of songs done with biab/rb/reaps combo..
(over 90 songs in fact over the years)..so..no biggie.
just a question of finding which ones people might like here.
best to all...and apologies if people didnt like this one.

Crazy and zany, ALF-L. Don't give up on us, man. This is a good song. Ain't no hatin' in THIS world, but I dig ya crazy music man. You have a lot of fun and it shows. Gave this one a couple spins. There is so much in there AFTER that OVERDRIVEN opening. Levels set by the time you were hit by the saxman, and enjoyed the fast-paced ride that followed. Did ya ever play a bar gig and no one seemed to even notice there was live music, but when you're done everyone comes up to you to say how great it sounded? Sounded great, man!!

That is one kick-[*****] song. Is that you on lead guitar? Smoking!

Loved your song from start to finish.

Keep posting!

I've enjoyed London all the times I visited and would love to travel there again.

Sounds as if you had a great time recording this one. Great Rocker.

Man,
get used to the racing pulse of the forum...it's in one of the hyper phases at present.
things fall between the cracks very quickly and there're some folk posting two or more tracks in a couple of days that crowd others out.
This is fun, your vocal is strong and it bops along nicely.
I'm not a fan of the sax but it's there.
The organ is good as is your voice.
Nice solo on the run out.

Crazy. A fun listen. Good tracks, good vocal.

i just want to say many many thanks to everyone for listening and commenting on the song.
so many wonderfull talented people on these forums.
the song is no biggie. i have too many songs...lol.

Ezekiel. re london...fyi i was born there and spent my early childhood years there; but most of my adult life has been spent working/living outside the uk.
for lovers of all things london the next song i post is called "my grandad" ..
all bout how my kind grandad would take me to soccer(footie) every other week when i was young.
wish i'd kept the comics he bought me...worth lots today...lol
best/happiness to all.

PS...i'm trying to free up lots of time this week away from family to listen to lots of songs in the user showcase. as i feel this is only fair if i'm asking people to critique my daft efforts.

Well I turned downed the monitors per your suggestion but I still had to pick them up off the floor.

Yeah that puppy is loud

Crazy? yeah ... well done? yeah ... good mix? yeah ... enjoyable? yeah

A wild 3:40 journey indeed!

Fun!

ps for some reason i cant delete the original song link.
board admin please delete.

Hi Alf-L,

I turned down the volume knob, did my earphones half from my ears and was prepared for the worst to come!
But then; the first link didn't work anymore and the second one made me undo all my preparations. I had to turn up the volume and place the earphones correctly on my ears and... nothing worse happened! I heard a very nice song, good vocals singing ordinary lyrics (kind of...).
So a good song Alf, contrary to your warnings!

I only have one or two things you need to change: that big guitar note at the start, and the single note from the sax somewhere at the beginning. No, I am teasing a bit. The only thing you need to remember from my post is that you made a very enjoyable song!

Hans

justanoldmuso,

"PLEASE DONT TELL ME TO GET RID OF THAT FIRST BIG GUITAR NOTE COS I LIKE IT...lol.
(ive taken polls...lmao.)" This cracked me up.! Man can I relate to that!

This is the first tune I've heard of yours but I instantly thought...RINGO STARR!!! Which is a high level compliment from me!

Nice job in all aspects of the song and as others have mentioned, the guitar playing is KILLER!!

Thoroughly enjoyed! Keep em coming! Torrey

thanks Hans and Torrey.
i got too many songs...lol.
for me its all about the enjoyment of the creative process.
frankly i work very hard with each song and do the best i can.
and then i just hope other folks like the songs also.

happiness to you both.
oldmuso
ps...hans for some reason the board software wont let me delete the original song link in my first post...sigh.

I went to listen and the track could not be found. Did you take it down? Is so you should leave it up longer for late comers like me.

Life go in the way this weekend and Monday so I couldn't listen.

Excellent work (nice guitar breaks).

Super kick@ss rockin' blues. Loved it!

Everything about this one is top shelf IMHO and your best to date, again IMHO.

I liked the B3 and your vocals were excellent.

Keep singing those blues.

I heard the second link, first one didn't work. Thought it was rocking song solid mix relatable and I had a good time listening.
Josie

Sundance and Mario.
thanks for listening.
as an interesting aside i once had a more complex chordal approach/fancier chord structures for the song..but the "person in the street" liked this simpler version.
in conclusion sometimes the KISS approach works better.

Loved the intro to this song. Excellent rockin tune. Super vocal and backtrack. Don't to be disheartened by the lack of activity on the song. You have really cool music. Everyone wants their song to be heard and recognized. Most people that are in the forum support each other with listens and comments. I know this has been a big help to me. There are some very strong mentors in this forum that can help with your song development. I have developed some very strong friendships with people in this forum. There have also been strong collaborations between members.
The software is pretty cool tool. Has kept me at the console for that last 10 years.

Leave your songs up they are very good

Scott C
thanks for the listen //comments.

Re.."disheartened"..no i never get that way fyi.
i'm a happy go lucky /always haveing fun type...i just like to load up fresh songs in the user showcase.
