Registered: 06/09/16 Posts: 3232 Robertkc Veteran Registered: 06/09/16 Posts: 3232	A new song from Scott/Robert. This one started with a bluesy shuffle from Scott I nudged towards folk rock. To sum up the lyrics: "go West not so young man,even if its the last thing you do". Our newly minted Spirit Level survived a test here due to Scott`s unflappable nature and generous forgiveness of the late changes I threw at him: thanks pardner!!

Interesting lyrics, a really interesting melody. A super cool sounding BAND. Very original sounding. And Scott's guitar fits in perfectly. Some of your best guitar work, I think. A nice vocal, too. And a good mix. Cool song. I like it. fj _________________________ 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

My inspiration for the band sound came from a couple of celtic folk rock bands - The Waterboys & Runrig.I hope we captured a little of that feel. Thanks for your positive comments. Robert

" Yep, and a bit toward a melding of Jefferson Airplane and the Dead to our ears. Airplane in ambiance and the Dead with that bounce in the rhythm. We really liked the write and particularly: "I grew old you pretended not to notice taking you down dead end dirt roads please find enclosed it sticks in my throat my request not that I`m owed" Your vocal delivers the whole feel very effectively and, man, that guitar is wonderful.

I can really feel the Celtic influences you mentioned and also I can hear Thin Lizzy, especially in Scott's guitar sound and playing. You have found your own style, I'm just amazed how much creative and very productive collaboration there's on this forum. I'm already waiting for your new songs Janne _________________________ Hear My Music: Soundcloud YouTube
