General Music Chat

It's a matter of intent. A song like this, in this format is usually written
for the writers own satisfaction. Some writers cant differentiate between
commercial and personal song writing. It is nice but is not something you would
hear on the radio. I personally write in a commercial format as those
songs on my profile. It comes from learning to write from the radio.
There are certain parameters that must be met to be realistic about
writing commercially.

Your new avatar is great. It gets rid of that wimpy feel the other one
gave off. Thank You.

Glen, I believe has a white boney knee fetish and Loves to display
them in public. Maybe it's a Trucker thing. [/b]

Klugmo, exactly..you nailed it... The song was really a personal epiphany-thang. And truthfully, even if I had followed a commercial format, I'm pretty sure it would still have been (as Glen put it), uninteresting... because we all know that on the highway of public music, nobody gives a damn about things like peace and sh*t... (But even I already knew that from the beginning)

If anybody gets mad at me ..the rabbit comes back... Are we clear?

Good song PD, I listen to it 3 times 2nd listen I thought it could be shortened but by the 3rd I thought it was right on. Reminds me a bit of Mother Natures son. What other instruments do you hear accompanying the guitar?
I still favor the Ballad of PD and bench for 2

And Nietzsche is not crazy... probably the only one who is right.

Thanks Jahva,

To answer your question about other instruments... Actually, the context (pastoral) of the song that I imagined was the deep south , with a buzzing natural environment (summer). Even thought of an indian tribal woodwind, and percussion, in the back. Parts of the song definitely suitable for a deep, subtle cello to contour the context.

Interesting you mentioned Mother Natures Son... Hadn't thought of that. But I think perhaps the tonalities parallel each other: (they are both 'sunny' and their respective narratives are single-dimensioned, and stand apart from the main music)

The song length: At first I felt the same as you did, but it just didn't seem complete , so I added the that last parts. I do agree with Glen, its not commercial...but I could not move the arm, where the leg should be ,etc. Basically I have spawned a mutant song here...
