Thanks John, Glad you liked it.
Picky, what's the corruption thing? Do you really need corrupting? i'm willing to work with you on this, if only to disprove the Dorothy Parker theory :>)

Kurt, I really like your Voice and what you are doing with the melody. The arrangement is a bit strange to my ears, would like to hear a straight lead guitar sound. It is creative, I will give you that...you may be getting exactly what you you set out to get.
You have a cool voice, I think this song has excellent potential, I am just not feeling some of the instrumentation and arrangement choices. The Chorus is cool...
I really like the song, its just personal preferences on the points I critiqued...
Cool song. You did not ask for my critique, I just hear great potential so I am just throwing in my two cents, or one cent...however you choose to look at it.
P.S. I listened to "Listen" ... I would not change a thing on that one, very cool tune.
Regards,
Jeff

Jeff,
Thanks for the comments, I really appreciate it. When you're working outside of a band environment (solo), it's always a guessing game inside your own head on what to do and how to do it. Sometimes I get it right, some times I don't. You may be right on the guitar, but either way I appreciate you taking the time to listen and care!
Merry Christmas to you and yours,
Kurt

Hi! The file seems like it's bad when I try to stream it. Happened to some of mine also. I had to downgrade the size.

I have got to say, it was not my cup of tea at first.
However, I accidentally let it run multiple times, and it grew on me.

PV - Glad it grew on you, penicillin will probably help get rid of it.
Not sure what the issue with streaming is, it's 128, I was able to run it no prob, if this continues I'll re-upload.

Well I'm not glad that it's not streaming properly, but I am glad that it's not just doing that to me but Troy also. I cleaned my cache and tried again but to no avail. The song just will not stream properly for me.
What it sounds like is a very old worn out 8-track tape, it drags and then even gets worse as it appears that the tracks disembody themselves from each other and start a round of (oh what's that called, when several groups starts singing a song at different starting points) ?
Would some others please listen and see if the song streams for you.

Oh My, this is driving me mad, all I got is "ROUND" we used to sing them in the old days. Can't even remember one now except "Animal Zoo" bet no-one knows that on here. The last line was "The monkey got drunk and fell out of his bunk...." and something about an Elephant's trunk.

I found this round
Kurt this is sort of what it sounds like, only add a bunch of vinyl scratches and mess the timing all up and then drag it down like an old 8-track tape.

Picky (you glasses wearing hottiie you!),
I tried it again, from a different computer, and it still worked fine. I am, to say the least, completely barfled.
Should I just come to your house and play the damn thing for you myself? Really, it would only be a minor inconvenience on my part, assuming you are anywhere near Shanghai, China.
Do let me know your schedule, dear.

Apparently releasing a new song on Christmas Eve is the equivalent to whistling in the wind.
Won't make that mistake again.
At any rate, it's here, listen to it, love it, trash it, whatever.
Thanks all,
Kurt

I'm giving it a listen now and it sounds like a really, really cool song. But I am having a hard time hearing your vocals. I would like to hear them. Not sure if that's the file or the mix? Or my computer?
Anyway, when I listen to it on another system, I will add it to my Good Stuff, Trois staion, if it seems like it sounds okay.
