Title: “Nobody’s Listening Blues”…………
Post by: The Reverend 48 on April 18, 2009, 06:39:49 AM
This has been a sh*t week :'(
This is a first I have never tried to convey a specific concept through music :o
I have a group of really close friends who have been falling out and hurting each other this week....I have tried to talk to them but nobody's listening and everybody is talking........... >:(
I suppose the best thing to come out of it is this called "Nobody's Listening Blues"............
You can guess which guitar represents me :D ;)
What do you think?

Wow, I really feel sorry for you Mike, hope they get it sorted out.

I'm really sorry to say this but: I can't get your song to play !! Would love to hear it, seems like you've put a lot of yourself in this one!

 :-[ I think I'll go stick my head in the sand ... Must have been my PC that had an off day too!! Took a reboot and now it's playing a wonderful blues!!!

I mean wonderful, this is a GREAT blues Mike. A big WOW from Norway, this is really good!! A lot of feelings clearly went into this one.

GREAT work!!!

Doesn't sound like the first time!

Great work!

Really atmospheric blues!

It's got an "urban-everyone hates each other" feel about it!

Nicely done!

This is an excellent piece! Loads of feeling - perfect playing. Sorry about your troubles - you project the tone very well with music, though - I'm certain it would calm somebody down...

Later,

Mark

they will be listening now Mike.
this is Brilliant. love both guitar tones. for me the clean tone gives this an extra edge.
also fade out better than a full stop for this type of instrumental.
instantly re-playable Mike.....you got 3 yeses

I can hear the misunderstanding going on here with the 2 guitars...Sounds like you're keeping your cool! Not easy, I know 8)

And you just captured a snapshot in time.

I'm certainly listening and enjoying this a lot. There's real emotion here, and it shows. Superbly played and also very well produced - it sounds great even through my little "radio" speakers. Great stuff.

Here's a thought - have you played this to any of the friends in question? Hope you have a better week next week.

Cheers,

Nigel

Gosh 48 I think this is one of the best songs you have done.  You could really feel your emotions in the music!  Great Job!!

I'm glad I got to hear this one - and bump it up the list! I love the contrast with the two guitar tones... like the rough with the smooth, but both played with DEEP feeling and incredible skill. 

And I hope it all resolved itself in the end for you  :)
