Nice song @Tokyo_Rat Larry! I enjoyed listening to it.
I like this one! It does seems a little more traditional rock than you usually do, though?
Some of your other ones had a really cool Tom Waits-like thing going, while this one is cool in a more rock way
Good stuff!!!
The folks at work and in the band were giving me feedback about dark lyrics. “the music is telling me field of flowers and the words are watering flowers with blood from the glass in my shoes”…so I thought I’d show I could do something different.
Thank you!!
But we like this part….
hahaha…me too
Thanks Jerry, a little something different
Nice original song @Tokyo_Rat ,
fits in with your usual genre, smooth and easy to listen to,
Cheers Brian
+1
Thanks Brian, I was thinking back to when i was a teenager playing in bands, platform boots, hair to my beltloops, silks, satins, flash pods going off, I thought the world revolved around my Les Paul and a 100 watt stack…45 yrs later I’m the easy listening section…i really liked this groove
Alright @Tokyo_Rat
I have always dig your tunes. But the last two…something really really fantastic.
I’d buy your album in a heartbeat.
Really like your baseline here.
I think it makes the tune and I like how up front and present it is as part of the song and not just serving the tune.
Keep ‘em coming!!
Like this a lot, back to a more Tom Waits vocal style
John thats high praise…thank you for that. I think I still approach the bass more like a guitarist than a bassist but I like how this works the song. Nuthin fancy though, I’m not up to fancy yet…LOL
Thanks Howard, this works for me…but man, I wish I could sing.
Me too! I mean I wish I could sing, your vocal style is working fine. Mine’s just embarrassing and only passable after… a lot of help.
my check and balance is, “does this sound like karaoke?” if it is approaching that I regroup. I don’t set the bar very high.
That’s literally a reason I sold a mic. “Can’t get past Karaoke with this.”
Another great song Larry! Very enjoyable.
