ken sent me this tune earlier today, so i struck whilst the iron was hot and my throat was sore, i left some space for ken to fill with some lead just got online and heard it. i had to post it.
i wanted to redo the vox when i get home as i intended it to a guide track so recorded it very quickly before i forgot what i wanted to do then come back to it later and record it properly but now i dont know, i think it has a fragility that goes with the theme.
is anybody out there
music and backing vox by ken
words and lead vox by oldrottenhead
Yes, nice guitar delay to start it off with. Then the buttery smooth bass and vox level it all of perfectly.
Sweet backing vox Jim, and I love the guitar work a lot, Ken! Kind of has that Cony Island Baby strum to it.
Well done!
Mark
Ken strikes again, and his sidekick Jim hits it out of the park. You two are on fire. I can't say enough about this song guys. Ken, I love your arrangement and that solo is just so sweet, bluesy, beautiful. Jim, one of the nicest lyrics/vocals I have heard from you. I can't say enough. I say you two guys make a fantastic songwriting team, holy man. Beautiful guys. I say leave it alone Jim, sounds damn near perfect to me.
That guitar was excellent... and the vocal delivery and lyric was smooth as hell. Another good one.
This is special. Really special. I absolutely love the way the acoustic guitar came in from that shimmering, panned delay. Beautiful, sensitive lead playing and James' vocals carry the emotional depth even further. I wouldn't touch or change a thing. And that backing vocal panned far right on the fade out just blew me away. Wow.
thanks guys ken and i have been having a lot of fun so we are gonna form a band, might be called "jam knees" or "the jammy knees band"
Soo beautiful and the lyrics are perfect on this melody! Backing vocals is just great, too. Fine job from you both!

oh please don't start me on anagrams on a friday evening .... I might end up with .....
J.K.'s Enema ;D
Thanks guys. Great vocals James!
Ken, I really dig your music. You've got a great style, and fantastic delivery. I'm going to have to give this a proper listen on monitors instead of cans. Jim, you really nailed the vocals, Like Mark said, smooth and buttery.
Interesting fact. I'm near deaf in the left ear, so I only caught the panned delay on the right at first. I then realized that I needed to flip my cans...... Well...... This morning I cut the top of my head shaving. I grabbed my cans like I usually do, flipped them over, and took the scab with them. Now I have blood streaming down my head.
Moral of the story.... nope there ain't one.
It's a damn good song. I can't wait to hear it again tonight. Ken, I really dig the instrumentals.
Moral of the story...the music on this site is so good it makes you bleed out of your head. Thats music man.

music perfectly!

a dreamteam collab bravo
Great collab guys! Cool mood and vibe! I ask that same question myself all the time! :D
This seems to be a winning combination yet again, and is the sort of song that makes you glad that you belong to this site! I was totally immersed in this one from the outset.
What a lovely song. The simple, reflective lyrics and the smooth music are a fine blend.
I like the subtle vocal approach as well.
This was a treat to listen to. :)

Beautiful...........
Soft guitar and vocals come together in perfection
A very nice homage to Pink Floyd! The title certainly wasn't coincidence. :)
Is this the final version, or will the song be mixed and mastered?
Enjoyed the listen.

i'm not that familiar with pink floyd's later stuff after dark side of the moon, punk rock took me on a different road. but i looked up the lyrics to that song to see if subconsciously they influenced my lyric for ken's music.
well you could be right after all but it certainly wasnt deliberate on my part.
