Elegy For a Dying Land

The song is restored if you're interested.

Very bold structure. Definitely doing it 'your way'. The arrangements and the overlapping instrumentation are complex and meticulous. I love the vocal part best though - chords and melody I'd love to steal, lol. And a thought provoking lyric that seems very pertinent a day before my country votes on its future. Excellent stuff.

John, this is an excellent song. Sometimes, songs don't need to be lyric driven to make an impact and this is a great example of that. Just some poignant lines set to powerful music. The intro is great here and I'm glad to see you trying new things.

There's a few of my songs I've uploaded that only have gotten 10 replies or less than that but I'm grateful for every one of those replies. I'm sure that's a sentiment shared by a lot of people on here, especially when the jukebox gets filled up and it gets harder to comment on everything. Life gets in the way sometimes too so it takes time for comments to come. I'm glad we have a site where there is actual genuine feedback on songs, as I know other sites don't have nearly as active or positive of a community.

I will say this about Songcrafters.  You guys are by far the nicest music people on the internet.  Always supportive of each other.  I've been on many music forums where this is not the case.  I've dealt with many rude, egotistic and generally unpleasant people on other music forums. Not a one here.

Thanks for the feedback Berry & Greeny.

Aha the mp3 is back, it is perfect. what an arrangement. I do think your your singing melodies in much of your songs is as genius as Frank Zappa's. Not his lyrics afcourse:-)

Love the tranquility of this song.
There's a lot of great musicality in there.
I could never put something as complex as this together.
I've said before I'm not a jazz fan ,I can listen to some forms and appreciate the work that has been put in.
Your vocal fits it perfectly when it kicks in.
Very relaxing.
Excellent.
Well done.
