Title: Nothing Real by BerryPatch (Pysch Fest '22)

After a long while of tinkering, this track I started last month for Pysch Fest is finally in a finished state. I was hoping to get a few songs in for the fest but I soon realized I probably wouldn't get another done in time so I threw in everything but the kitchen sink at this one ;D. Recorded on all on Garageband (though I have to say, it gave me some hassle this time... I think I'll be in the market for another standalone recorder). This is the first time I've used the reverse effect on GB after hearing it on a couple of James'songs and it definitely comes in handy. Enjoy...

Restless daughter
What she's bought she can't abide
Under pstarlight
Dressed in all her colors bright

It's all you've seen once before
Just look into inside to your own doors
Because every word you say is nothing real

Tired faces,
Look up to the failing sky,
Someone speaking,
Making sermons for the light

I just can't take anymore,
Write to the sound of your thoughts,
Because every word you say is nothing real,
Every word you say is nothing real

Thought that you've seen it all,
Then you come to a fall,
The picture has no nails
So take your shot from the pale

It's all inside your mind it's what you feel
Because every word you say is nothing real
Every word you say is nothing real
Every word you say is nothing real

Holy wow, what a stunner! Goes from rock to psychedelic and back again. Those backwards Mellotron bits have that Their Satanic Majesties Request spook to them. Everything is right in the pocket.

Totally dig it - so psychedelic. Well done, Keith!

total psych rock fest here from the opening salvo of back and forth panned guitar.  thing is I can't really tell psychedelic anymore, my brain naturally gravitates there. 
This is a big winner....
put this guy directly at the top of the charts...
some folks just got it and man do you got it.

Wow. First of all, the bass is phenomenal - pure Macca ('Rain' springs to mind). I love the whole thing though. There's a real heaviness before it drops away into that dreamy section. Absolutely fantastic song, performance and production - so far up my street that I just dig everything about it. Outstanding work and attention to detail!

I'm listening on my iPhone speakers and it sounds fab, can't wait to hear it through decent speakers. Loving the spooky mellotron part. And yes GarageBand is great for doing backwards guitar. Loving the solo too great chops. One to download methinks.

Love it really liked the breakdown section and change a tempo thinks it adds to the overall feel of the song

Damn that bass is the shit.
The guitar work is solid, and those drums are outstanding / perfect, from the get downs to the breaks.
The break at 2:20 is smokin.
This whole thing sounds and feels like a real live band getting down.

Hats off 2 ya bro... take your bow

This is cool.

Sounds are great. The dreamy section leading into the guitar solo is really well done.

Vocals fit perfectly.

Very nice all around! The only thing harder than trying to write better songs than you guys is trying to write better reviews!  ::) This song really nails the fest for sure! Going for another listen. To cool! 8)

Excellent psychedelic song....I can even hear the kitchen sink! The mid section is so spacey...well done there! I hear some harmony notes on the bass...another cool aspect of the song. Well done on the vocals and all of it!!!!!!!
