Title: A Soldiers Lullaby
Post by: galestermusic on August 21, 2009, 01:56:54 PM
Well I decide to do the rubbish noodling song again, and I named it a soldiers lullaby. I remember how tired I was from the incidents that happened from this surgery when doing this song, it reminded of the feeling I had in the Gulf War suffering sleep deprivation etc. I thought how nice it would be to just go to sleep.

So lets see how this sounds, I got a card read error a few minutes 2 x's it works but I clip in the high end on this I think, and I shouldn't be, settings are good, maybe doing it again.

Wow! I remember that feeling. I remember finally getting catch some ZZZ's and it never feeling like it was enough.

This is perfect by the way. I mean really! The feeling you've captured with this... It really takes me back to being over there.

EPITOME OF BADASSITY!

Good idea, I will just give it another listen to chill out before bed.

Love this lots...sooooo good!!!!!!

......

Well that did not work, I keep pressing play again when it ends  ::)

I am not a great fan of instrumentals as a rule, they bore me. I am one of them ignoramuses who do not appreciate the likes of Vai and Satriani. But you got it so right on this, really touches a nerve. I am going to listen once more ... then bed.

Steve glad I could sort of help. lol :)

QuoteI remember finally getting catch some ZZZ's and it never feeling like it was enough.

I remember coming back through Kohbar and we was "ordered" to 5-7 days of R&R in Kohbar. Yeah right. THe unit wasn't aloud to mess with us, no details or nothing. I still couldn't get to sleep, what maybe an hour to two?

I remember coming home and my family thinking I'm nuts, for about the first two months Id go two and three days with only a couple hours of sleep.

Messes with yer head. LOL

I finally did get a little better sleep in last night 5 hours! WOoHoo!  ;D

A vigginett, like Halem's recent post but a different scene for sure. Interesting... there is some rumble in the background on this which at time almost seems like battlefield noise in the distance.

Apologies.  I thought I commented on this already.

Really very lovely.

It reminds me of something Mark Knopfler would do, sparse with clean guitars.  Nice tones by the by.

Love the sections with double-stops.

Beautiful.

Superb. I just love the chord change at 1:46, tingles up the spine job. This is just a pleasure to listen to all the way through, another simple but so effective piece. And lovely playing as well.

Cheers,

Nigel
