I'm just having a little fun folks. My songs getting a little heavy so I figured how about some lighter fair.  Had to shrink it and it really affected the quality... Oh well.
Yes I do reference the Pied Piper and Seed = music   ;D ;D ;D

A conversation with Nelson, of the group... Mister Nelson.

Interviewer:  Well Nelson...if you're not satisfied with the way you sing or the way
you play or the lyrics you write, then why do you keep doing it.

Nelson: It's quite simple really...   the desire to create that one great song, keeps me pushing forward. The fact that I'm never satisfied keeps me humble. The fact that I'm not tied to any one genre of music frees me to play and create what ever I feel in my heart.
I'm honestly not concerned with what the people, publishers or record companies want.

And that, Sets Me Free, to go in any direction the creative winds may blow.

This is absolutely superb. I love the way you sing, but the whole composition, production and vision of this song is something special. Brilliant rhythms, plus lots of great guitar work and clever shifts. The panned organ on the chorus is a great addition too. There's something here that brings to mind the great Richie Havens, and I think this song would have slotted in nicely at Woodstock. I seriously can't praise it enough.

Wow Nelson, this is pretty incredible. Really compelling listen and fantastic vocals, really fantastic. It's a great song, with great rhythm and I love the changes. For me it has a real punky edge in its attitude and the lyrics are great. And your vocal performance ..... I just love it. You have really come on, this is a stellar performance. Great sound as well, the whole production sounds upfront and immediate.

Just loved it, fantastic job.

Cheers,

I love the beginning, and then this great song follows! The organ gives this a bit of a 60s Los Angeles rock feel - love it, Nelson!

This is absolutely brilliant. The intro is not only intriguing it's done to perfection. You worked in quite a variety of style in rapid fire bursts, each of which sounded better than what I normally hear on the radio. I love the fact that you didn't use random audio clips from anywhere, you created them.

The "Damn" in the intro even stood out as the "listener" being upset that he can't find what he wanted to hear, says screw it, I'm making my own music.

Then the song starts..... Percussion - F**king terrific. Guitar work - outstanding. Keyboard - PERFECTION. The chord structure is fantastic, both on the verses and especially the chorus.

Lyrically this is superb. What a story that literally jumps off the screen, into my head and becomes its own reality.

No shit, this might be the most emotionally invoking song I've heard ever. I've looped it 4 times, and it gets better with every listen. The only disappointment is that I didn't write it/perform it. Nelson, in my opinion, you have something very special here.

And yes, I copied and pasted myself. I can't praise this one enough.
