Great wobbling keyboard intro!

Like the guitar though out the song!

Great job!!
If you loose track over a chord progression, play as fast as you possibly can. Nobody will know. Thats how they invented bebop.

Great song, definitely more Ian Curtis vocals there! I like the keyboards, this is very well constructed and thought out. I like the tremolo-ey guitar bit and what you do with the vox on that.

Cheers,

Thanks Nigel, my vocals are pretty pitchy here, I need to get it better.  Funny about that Ian Curtis comment here.  After your last Ian Curtis comment I have gone on a bit of Joy Division craze, and I just watched the movie 'Control'.  I am a bit touched by the tragedy of his death.  This song was sort of my tribute to Ian Curtis actually, I mean I didn't set out to write a Joy Division sounding song (and it doesn't), but the song and lyrics was meant as a bit of a tribute to Ian and I was thinking about him quite a bit while making this, I think I may have channelled his vocal style a bit here.  I really need to take more time and effort to get my vocals more in tune with the music (pitch control), thanks for the comments Nigel.  Thanks to all for listening and commenting.

Have you tried the BR-1200's Pitch Correction effect? See pages 131 to 141 of the BR-1200 manual, 6th edition. It might be cool to try the Harmony Sequence effect to add some backing vocals on the chorus too.

Singing is a big challenge for me as well - I can tell you have definitely gotten better at it!  I tried several times and just scrapped it.  Keep up the good work - it's very respectable and enjoyable!

Cool lyrics BB!  I can really relate to this line:

Very cool lyrics. Great work, thanks for sharing. I see the Ian Curtis reference here.

Thanks very much Ferryman and Satch, that really makes my day to get comments like that on the lyrics.  I am not sure what I was trying to express exactly when writing this but for sure thoughts of Ian Curtis were in my mind, and I wanted to see the main character in the song rise above his demons and figure out way to survive, I guess.  This songwriting is very strange stuff but highly enjoyable also I find, it is all a bit of a mystery.  I really appreciate the comments.
