Probably as close as I'm going to get visiting those fields myself.  You've got a number of unexpected chord changes there, but they've very much your style. I would have enjoyed a lead instrument in there, but it's fine as-is.

Haha, David ... you're too modest NOT to end up there! :-) Thanks for the kind comments ... it's just a small instrumental to "cleanse the palate" after my other offering, haha ... so I'm glad you liked it :-)

James,
This is very much right in your sweet spot. As David said above, very much in your style, with some very cool chord changes. Like that bit of organ that pops in throughout. I’m not much for instrumentals, but this is a fine listen. Well done!
All my best,
Deej

James, this sounds great. Super chord progression. I for one would have liked to hear a lead line though out but that is just my opinion. This sounds great as is.
Doc-take it easy John this is just a sharp scalpel. It will not cut deep so don't worry.

"It's just a small instrumental to "cleanse the palate"
Excellent arrangement.
We enjoyed the cleansing!

Thanks fj, Janice and Bud :-) I'm glad you enjoyed it. I (still) think that it's not anything in particular on its own, but that it works well in conjunction with the other track ... if I write an album, for instance, it can't be all dark :-) ... so thank you so much for listening and for commenting! :-)

Hi musician17,
Really nice chord progression! I enjoyed listening, but I have to echo some of the others in this thread: A soloist or a lead line could have made the track even better.
Well done!

Hi James,
A pleasant melody to listen to. I liked it.
But I also recognized the (favorite) style you use in most of your songs.
That's nice to! You have an own style!
Stay safe,
Hans

James, you have a your own very recognizable style. I wouldn't be surprised to find it in the Style Picker someday. Listening to this I can almost hear your vocal. I really enjoy listening to your songs. Captivating, sometimes almost mesmerizing.

James,
An enjoyable listen- I like those signature changes you use ( perhaps easier to hear without a soloist).

Thank you all! I am actually trying to break away from my "style", but it's nice to come back to it when I can't, haha. Marty, you're way too kind re: Style Picker, but who knows! haha. And yes, Robert, you've hit the nail on the head - these chord progressions are so much easier to hear, at times, without a solo line ... one of the reasons I, for now at least, have left it "as is".
THANK YOU so much, each and every one of you, for listening and commenting!

HI James ...
I always enjoy your musical contributions to the forum. Your music is almost always gentle - sometimes delicately fragile. This one belongs in the delicately fragile ascription. There are times when a musical bed is just as nice as a cut with lead tracks. The background tracks carried this quite nicely in my ears.
I am a composer who relies on chordal structure for many of my songs. You always treat us with some unexpected but very nice chord progressions. No exception here.
That was a soothing listen. Thank you. Wishing you the very best.

Alan - you are one of the most perceptive and sensitive musicians on here, without a doubt - so when you write so beautifully about one of my tracks, I am genuinely humbled and grateful. You also somehow get my intentions so well, when I write something ... so thank you so much for taking the time to listen and for such incredibly kind and sensitive comments.
Wishing you nothing but great things,
JD
