Been working on this for a few days. The wife and kids left town for a few weeks so I set up GuerillaHook Studios  inside & bought myself these

http://www.samash.com/samson-studiodock-3i-active-usb-monitors-ssd3ixxxx
Only $50, I think they discontinued them since the built in dock is for the iPhone 3 & 4. I have to say they sound pretty freaking good to my sorry ears. It's super nice to finally have some monitors again! This was done with Garageband & thumbjam, the vocals were the ps02 through the pocket pod every track was stereo.

3rd Eye
written & performed by Hook
If only I could see clearly
into this crystal
I glimpse the future

I'm not there yet
I still have to develop my second site
I'm not there yet
I still haven't opened my third eye

If only I could see
inside your heart
and glimpse within your soul

chorus

Can I trust it
Is it accurate
Could I learn to control it

If only I could focus
in on just one
train of thought

Wow hook ,this is so complex in its structure and there's so much to listen to.
A great track that is so different from what you do normally.
Brilliant .

It's a busy mix, but I think that lends itself to the idea that it's a complex idea. I'm liking the vocals, the soaring melody with the held notes is a nice and fitting top to the more intricate musical bed.

Nice work on this one. Progressive. A great deal to listen to. I intend to do that many times.

Well done!

Everything in stereo is a nice touch, adds a complexity to an already full sound-scape. 
Listening to your pieces is kin to witnessing a master at work.

I digging your vocals as of late... they have a truly distinct quality to them... sorta like a Phil Collins.
