You're late to this party bro! :-)

I was praising this song way back in another thread. So are you not reading all my verbose comments, huh? What's up, were you busy in the hospital with your wife having a baby or something?

Oh yeah... You were! ;-)


But hell yeah. Killer tune. Go back and find the thread, it's worth reading, cause he shares how his band broke up, in part, because of this tune. Dumbasses! But he's got a new project working, and I can tell you right now, it's one of my favorite new bands. I know this without hearing them yet, because of the creative guy putting the band together. Can't wait to hear their demos, hopefully coming out soon!

He says his new stuff is even better.

I'm glad someone else here appreciated it as much as I did. I swear to God, I listened to it about 7 times in a row. It has a great feel, great arrangement, lyrics, meaning, emotion, everything.

If I still got stoned, I would have listened to the damn thing all night. LMAO!

I listened to it back to back about 7 times myself. It's just tight. Radio ready. I couldn't find the thread with the background on the song. :oops: How about a link buddy??? :D :D :D

Same here neanderpaul, I've commented on this superb song also a couple of times now. It's one of those songs that has it all.

Damn man, I didn't expect this..

I really do suck at taking compliments, but thanks a lot, this does mean a lot to me coming from such good musicians.

Neanderpaul, here's the thread Craig is talking about.

http://forum.bandmix.com/viewtopic.php?p=22679#22679

Sadly, One Day Broken might be done. This band has basically spiraled into nothingness. Sometimes there's just nothing a person can do to keep this from happening. I won't go into details out of respect for the other bandmembers, but it looks like I'll be starting from scratch yet again.

Once again, Thanks for the recognition, I do appreciate it. And I admire you guys to no end.

That sucks bro. Whatever you do, don't stop. DO NOT repeat my mistakes. I had a solid chance to make it, when I was still in my 20's, but I had forever right? Forever turns into never, really really fast.

Follow the dream brother! Scratch that, don't "follow it" - Chase that mother f*cker until you've got it by the throat, and say "You're mine!!!" LOL

You're welcome, and the feeling is mutual brother!

If I heard that song on the radio TODAY, I would have thought it was the best thing to come out in years.

Shame the band didn't work out, but there is obviously loads of talent just boiling over the edge. Great song, great recording, everything.

I'm kinda new to BM, but I hafta say that this is the best I've heard so far from this site.

Thought it was a little weak at the start, but you surprized me, Shredd.

It's definitely a keeper, for sure.

Do you have more stuff like this?

Sorry to hear about the band prob's. Hope you get it sorted out.

Yea.. I we have more. But we were still in the writing process. We hadn't recorded yet. I wish you guys could hear "Wolves". It's my personal favorite One Day Broken song. f**k man, if you guys like Burn, you would love Wolves.

All I have recorded at the house right now are samples or my recordings of initial ideas..

I have a song that I recorded that is the initial idea for a song called Enabler.

But before you listen to it, I would like to set it up first.

First of all, I mentioned to Craig that I like to explore different versions of songs. With Enabler, the first thing I wanted to do was capture the sadness of the verses. It needed a real honest mood. Because the story is about one of the saddest periods of my life.

My ex was a huge pill addict. There was a period of time when I was watching her basically slowly kill herself with them. She would take sometimes over 20 a day. Mostly Loritab and Soma, but sometimes Percs, and Oxy.

We were engaged, and I loved her more than anything in the world. But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't do anything about her addiction. I tried so hard to help her. But she was so addicted that if she stopped "Cold Turkey" it would kill her. I found myself in a spot to where if I gave her the pills she wanted, I was killing her, and if I didn't give her the pills, it would kill her.

We tried weening her off of them, but she would always fall back into taking heavy doses behind my back. She would just try to hide it from me then.

There were many times I thought I would come home from work and she'd just be dead.

One day we were fighting over it. I didn't know what to do. I was watching her slowly die everyday. She would just sleep on the couch, or sleep in the bed for most of the day, almost everyday. When she would run out she would get violently sick with withdrawals. The lights always had to be dim, or dark, and it would be 60 degrees in the apartment. She rarely wanted to go outside during the daytime. I couldn't take it anymore.

But she turned and looked me dead in the eyes and said, "you know what you are?? You're an enabler."

I was never so hurt by anything in my whole life. I couldn't believe she said it.

That was one of the most insulting things anyone ever said to me. Especially in a situation like this.

She was already addicted when I met her, she just hid it from me for the first couple of months. I wasn't the cause of her problem. I only wanted nothing more than to get her back off of them so that we could live a happy married life.

I put up my home demo of the clean version of this song on my profile. The One Day Broken version is actually heavy and hard hitting, but has spots of this mood.

**(I apologize for the drum machine, but when I do these home versions, it's only used as a click. It's just me and my Les Paul plugged directly into the recorder. These are only meant to record the idea and give it to the band to start working on the song.)

Anyway.. It's probably not going to impress you as much as Burn does. But on my personal scale, I still love this version. Sometimes more than the One Day Broken Version.

I must have missed it the first time but I have listened to Burn a couple of times this morning, thats a great song. Reminds me of Nickleback. Fits into what is on the radio these days. I liked the guitar tones, the clean electric and then crunch. I didnt like the middle 8 thing, it just didnt fit in my mind for some reason, the little background guitar line seems like it got lost from another song and landed here. The vocals are as good as anything Ive heard on bandmix.

Sorry about the pills, I was also an Enabler for a number of years, hard to live that down.

Good Luck with the musician hunt and keep writing.

Ooooooooooohhhh.. I'm SOOOOO glad you said that jw!!! Hahaha.. You're the f***ing man!!

If you only knew how much I hate that. The other guitar player just HAD to throw that in there. I fought against it so hard. The notes just sound wrong.

Oh man. That just brought back some memories.

The other guitar player in that song was the most arrogant, selfish, jackass of a musician you would ever meet. He would pull that kind of sh*t on me all the time. He was REALLY proud of that little piece of whatever it is. When we would play the song for people, he would always point that part out, "Hear that?? That's me! That's me!!" I would just have my head buried in my hands..

I like you 10 times more than I did before JW.. That just made my day.

Keep in mind, the song is different with One Day Broken, I personally think it's heavier, because we're a 3-piece. It's much more on the low end. The harmonizing in the guitar parts are gone now. And thankfully, so is that..Thing..

I'm still not sure what's happening with this band. I just don't want to talk about what's going on. But I'm not giving up on anything.
