TMV World Legacy Member napoleonboot Posted March 15, 2013 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted March 15, 2013 You Haven't Been Yourself As usual, constructive criticism is welcome. My delivery on this was inspired by some of Robert Lunte's more dramatic sounding work which he posts here, and also recently I have been listening to Ramin Karimloo and some other good musical theatre singers.

TMV World Legacy Member ronws Posted March 16, 2013 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted March 16, 2013 That was great, George. I could hear shades of Moody Blues in there, too. Really, you should be making an album. And for all you guys here who "think" you are prog - if you're not commenting on this, then you just don't know prog. There, that's my tough love for the day. Bravo, George. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMV World Legacy Member napoleonboot Posted March 16, 2013 Author TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted March 16, 2013 Many thanks Ron. Yes, I agree it is definitely prog. You can tell because it starts with cello solo which always a give-away. Please listen again... I just updated the mix and chanegd the earlier link, I've now done the whole length of the song. Link repeated here: I have a few more things to do before it's finished, such as adding harmony to the choruses ("it's ringing in my brain now...").

TMV World Legacy Member ronws Posted March 16, 2013 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted March 16, 2013 Dude, that is epic. Especially with the prose ala "Nights in White Satin," near the end. Really, this is a good song and you should do something with it besides sharing it with a few of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMV World Legacy Member napoleonboot Posted March 16, 2013 Author TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted March 16, 2013 Ron, MDEM - thanks. It isn't finished yet. It's hardly commercial material, so I'm not sure what we'd do with it. George can often be found playing electric stringy things, and singing...

TMV World Legacy Member ronws Posted March 17, 2013 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted March 17, 2013 It's hardly commercial material Yes, it is, actually. Consider this me disagreeing with you on that. Don't make me swim across the Pond and tell you crappy Aggie jokes until you relent and do something about this song. Backstroke, I can last forever. Although, one of my bosses sometimes flies to London, just for grins and giggles. Maybe I will have him give you a good "talking to." He can be persuasive.

TMV World Legacy Member Validar Posted March 22, 2013 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted March 22, 2013 I must say, this was very interesting. (I heard it last week, actually, but didn't get to comment on it at the time. It seems to be gone now) It was a bit of a whimsical audio journey. Very well done. I've never been skydiving, but I've zoomed in on Google Earth really, really fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMV World Legacy Member ronws Posted March 22, 2013 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted March 22, 2013 Evidently, there aren't as many people here who appreciate prog as much as even I do and I'm more into Led Zep than prog. I guess the mentions of James LaBrie and others like him is just lip service. Then, again, I did get into some old school prog. I used to do a few songs by Jethro Tull.

TMV World Legacy Member Validar Posted March 23, 2013 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted March 23, 2013 Ah, it's back now, so I gave it another listen. The lyrics are great, too. They're far from trite, which makes it even more "personal". I've never been skydiving, but I've zoomed in on Google Earth really, really fast.

TMV World Legacy Member derek_r Posted March 23, 2013 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted March 23, 2013 This is very good. Really enjoyed it Lyrics, playing, tune, everything. I haven't really got any constructive criticism I'm afaid because it's way beyond what I can do and is very different in style to anything I play or listen to, but I figured I'd let you know I'm giving it a big thumbs up!:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
