In-between the lines you write

[Gu Djin]

Well I am so sorry to inflict you with yet another song of mine, but I was rather disappointed with the initial response elsewhere to this, but here is the final version - the first time I have posted this here.

I felt this was one of my better attempts at a vocal and lyrics.  But maybe I'm biased. Lol

All played and sung straight thru.  I don't know any other way.  Mixed on Garage Band using various vsti's and acoustic guitar and of course me singing.  Obviously nothing was looped.  Disjointed I've been told?  It was meant to be like that!  Is it wrong?

I'm beginning to not give a flying F***.  Be honest guys!  I come for an honest review.

eerie dark and brooding and love the way the acoustic panns across and around the soundscape. the great thing about your music leigh is you know its not going to be conventional. i was gonna say unpredictable but you can predict it will be unconventional and off the beaten track.

for what its worth i really enjoyed it and would rather listen to your stuff over predictable conventional stuff any day.

go knock em dead.

I second orh's thought!
Very ambitious endeavor you've done well.  Love your avante garde stuff!

I think the disjointed, slightly off beat nature of this adds the strength of the song, I really like songs where you never really know where its going to go next, and admire anyone who can master this, like yourself.

I would agree with you in that your vocal is very impressive here, it really contributes to the kind of mesmeric and mysterious feel of the song.

That's my honest review

Very reminiscent of some of Alex Harvey's stuff. Like it

[Gritter]

I like this a lot...excellent vocal and straight ahead quirkiness. Very emotive and distinctLeigh Gu Djin...honestly.

Been away for awhile, and this is the first song I chose to listen to upon my return. Glad I did.
Cool chord progession, and I dig how the music is lilting yet ominous. Your vocal is expressive and almost jazzy.
I like the faint horns, which add soul and complexity. I'd like to hear them a bit higher.
A lot of very cool things going on here.

First off Leigh.....who are these @ssh&les you speak of that gave you a hard time over this song....come on buddy, name nanes...I'll track them down and inflict them with rotting vegtables thrown from 2nd story buildings.....I love the suttering rhythm here, love it...it is damn hard to get a groove like this......there is nothing disjointed about this Leigh, it is a complete musical world all unto itself, a complete vision, how can there be any joints that don't dovetail here, it is.....it is.........for what its worth I really like the feel here, very much a musical painting that sounds as fresh as if the paint is still wet.  I would be tempted to add one more layer of a kind of solo instrument, guitar solo, lonly muted trumpet mayby, fiddle, I don't know just a littel contrast once in a while, thats my only suggestion.  Great track.

[Gu Djin]

Thank's fellows that is encouraging.  the guys I mentioned have been great, but the do concentrate a lot on the technicalities and over time they have been enormously helpful in that arena.  But I think I am am more creator these days than instrumentalist and I hear things maybe in that way they don't, they hear the kloncks and not the story.  It can be disheartening.

But you have cheered me up, and I'll not hang up my tele just yet.

Thanks again it was a boost I needed.

The things that make this unconventional and discordant to some people's ears are the same things that make it cool, daring, and a damn interesting listen. I liked the jazzy kind of vibe and beat. A little bit Tom Waits to my ears. I agree with Bluesberry... a lone trumpet would work so well on this, and add to the mournful late night feel. It sounds like the soundtrack for a diner in the early hours of the morning. I liked it!

If other people don't like it, they can go back to their Lady Gaga and Beyonce. Sod 'em.
