Quote: I guess others have a problem with it because I'm not just falling in line with the, "Oh, this is a great song" crowd. Well....that's their problem. I don't think there was one person who said this is a great song. Perhaps you could read the posts more instead of looking for a scrap.It is undeniably a great recording, of a mediocre song.

Quote:Yo Prez, Check the top of the thread, the top notch bit isn't actually my post. AND Shak even says the song is average. Uh...whoops! My apologies. I don't know why I thought I was talking to Shak.Quote:Your opinion of the song is right on the money. It's not a stellar song. I grew up listening & digging the same stuff you did, how about that. Someone pinch me. I must be dreaming. Quote: I never advocate spending zillions on production or gear. I simply appreciate it.Oh..don't get me wrong. There are some things I'd like to get that is..well..high end. But I can do pretty much everything I want with what I got. It's a want not a need kind of thing. Quote:and wish I had access to it, all the time. We're actually totally in agreement, except that I just thought this piece of music sounded WONDERFUL, likely in part because of the facility. Of course you're correct that the production is almost entirely up to people. Just to clarify, I think it sounded good also. Real good. But the song is wack. Again, a good sounding recording does not make a good song.Quote:But I'm going to listen to it again because for me, music is the thing. Not songs. Paying attention to lyrics makes me analyse too much. Ooo. Here is where we diverge again my friend. Lyrics are paramount to me. Good music will draw me. Good lyrics will keep me.Quote:I don't use music for that. And I probably am unique in that way, compared to a lot of songwriters here. So we're different. I certainly don't think you're wrong to believe what you do. Your post simply caught my attention because I thought you might be missing out on enjoying the music. I'm feelin ya on that. I think we're pretty much in agreement on most things. I simply can't listen to a song if I don't like it. Period. Paragraph. I don't know of anyone who does except those in recording studios who have to endure terrible singing and awful songs from a paying client. I can't do that. Blessings.

Quote:LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rush is psychadelic?[sic] LOL!!!!!!!!!!From Wikipedia --- Psychedelic music: "Esoteric lyrics often describing dreams, visions, or hallucinations; Longer songs and lengthy instrumental solos. A major feature of psychedelic music is its elaborate production, often using the latest multitrack tape recorders, and its heavy reliance on 'trippy' electronic effects such as distortion, reverb, and reversed, delayed and/or phased sounds."Sounds like Rush to me! Sorry if you feel like you're being ganged up upon, Prez, but your posts have the feeling of you being the ultimate authority on the subject.

Your song on myspace "Present in the Body" wasn't recorded in Bakersfield.....meaning it has an urban sound to it, don't you agree? It ain't country.....Toledo ain't the blue hills of Kentucky...I get prejudice because you kind of lost me with how you referenced urban music then had a rolling eyes smiley. It made it look as if you were insulting urban music (which I really wouldn't have been surprised at).I'm not sure I follow you. I make urban music, yes, unlike the many people who seem to make country, classic rock, or orchestral music on these forums. I also make other kinds of music. I just happen to have some urban cuts on my Myspace page because those are the cuts people have said they like and..well..that's what I like also.But what does this have to do with what we're talking about?
