Compass Rose

written & performed by Hook

This Atlas doesn't function alone
Tomorrow still comes on its own

I know this path is overgrown
we'll put our faith in a Force unknown

True North can always be seen
but these skies look rather mean

Rose of the Winds
where Direction begins
An alternate route I suppose
we can always turn to the compass rose

I like where you are going with these fuller productions. This has a cool, percolating rhythm to it.

Listened in the car and was very dissapointed, the vocals were way to high so in gonna try the mix again.

new mix now up, hope its better

[Hook]

I pulled the vocal back but now I'm wondering if the uke is too high?

Trippy Tropicana... I dig it... Big Time!!!

Really well done....

Another slice of Hook uniqueness! Who else would play a distorted lead uke? 

What I love about your music is that you will always do the unexpected, and make it work fantastically!

Trippy Tropicana...well said!!

The solo around 2.30 sounds really psychedelic!

Enjoyable listening!

Very cool. There's a lot going on. A difficult mix, but this is balanced well. I always wrestle with drums levels. I know that just a a couple decibel louder with really propel a song with a lot of momentum, but I'll use it inappropriately. This is a time when I think the syncopation is cooler at the volume you have it.

I dug this one.
