Benn playing this progression for a few days on my Baritone ukulele, it became a song yesterday. Drums are the Kaossilator App on android and drum jam on Ipad. The swirly lead is also Kaossilator.

Because the Hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The hook brings you back
On that you can rely

The swirly lead part is giving me that early "Yes" vibe. Quite proggy, but very individual as well. Almost like Yes meets Jethro Tull and put through a Hook filter. The echo/reverb on the vocal gives that added bit of mystery. Cool stuff.

Oh yeah... I knew I must have missed at least one Hook song in the last few weeks...

And I'm only 5 days late to this one.

This is fabulous. Love how the echo on the vocal works.

Is just a piece of paper
To say a few lines
Make up my mind
So she can read it later
When I'm gone

Cool tune, Hook. Creative instrumentation. Dig those little triplets in the percussion.
There are only three kinds of drummers. Those who can count, and those who can't.

Nice laid back song; love those uke sounds and the cool bass lines. Interesting chord progressions too (I've been trying to figure them out) and nice clear recording.

I love the line.......The mystery
surrounding me
is probably
that there really
is no mystery
That acoustic bass is incredible.
A hooktastic song.
Well done bro

Brilliant Hook. Love the groove here, the bass is divine and blends with the drums/percussion beautifully. Love the slightly disconcerting change and drop out at 2:28, followed by the divine leads, that section works incredibly well. Vocals are great and the lyrics are really cool.

Love it, great work my friend.
