 I plugged my Akai MPKmini USB keyboard into my MacBook, fired up garageband and this came out the other end. transferred the music to my microbr and recorded vocals on that using the trusty Fornylon setting to get a faux stereo tap delay on the vocal.

Anyway, it is what it is.
You decode the messages
Etched out on the sand
Decipher the waves
Find patterns in the chaos
Everything you touch
Reveals itself to you
You find meaning
In things I just don't understand

I just don't understand
All this random confusion
I just don't understand
All this random confusion

You read between the lines
To find the hidden messages
You connect the dots
Because you're wired that way
Digging ever deeper
Uncovering the mysteries
You see the rhyme and reason
In all this random confusion

I just don't understand
All this random confusion
I just don't understand
All this random confusion
I Just Don't Understand

Your productions always amaze me. Lyrics and vocals take you away with the synth pads holding it together topped with the raw sounds drum set. Great contrast and very enjoyable. (as always!)

Really nice pads/synth sounds that create an almost ambient evolving soundscape. The drums create a good groove for this. And as always, some thoughtful lyrics that really go wit the flow of this one. Had it looping for a while and really enjoyed it.

I love the dream like quality in the synth pads, quite relaxing sounds swirling around in my phones.
Like that drum beat too, the lyrics are great and vocals sang very well. Great song.

Thanks for listening.

Love it
The groove has you in the palm of it's hand from the off. Just beautifully constructed. Hats off indeed to the drums. That raw snare is a great choice. And the lyrics are beautiful.

Breath of fresh air.

It did sound a little like a Cocteau Twins opening and then it became Old Rotten Head.

Adventurous but also simple.

Nice work.

Great track. Love all the little details in the mix and those wild funky drums. Great vocal on here as well.
