I left them here somewhere..... :P
This is primarily a bit of fun,a collab with Soundclouder Andrew Doyle,creator of whacky and wonderful choons.
Andrew and I have done a couple of things together and they've been a little different from my usual rubbish.
I hope you all enjoy,or at least tell me why you didn't. :D

Fabulous funky groove here Davy. So much going on. Great dynamics. Loved that dirty organ at the start and some lovely ear ticking moments coming at me out of both speakers. It's a highly original piece of work complemented by your top quality distinctive vocals and guitar

I like the words. I don't hear anything I don't like. I especially like "I left them here somewhere...." ::) ;D
-
A fine collab my friend..sounded fab in the motor.. :)
-
This is impressive - very ambitious arrangement but you nailed it. Loads going on at various different places with some lovely tones and effects. Vocals are very impressive. I think the arrangement masks the song a bit - but I think the two need each other, and then they become the one, if that makes sense. I especially like the clean guitar tone and associated licks. Some nice funky playing going on there!

This one is a real innovative journey of a track... some seldom-heard touches like the percussion and electronica choices really stood out. I enjoyed the Edge style solo in the middle a lot too. Very interesting the way the song isn't beholden to the lyrics.. they just appear in unusual places when they want to (which is kinda apposite for the title...).

Hi @Skub (http://www.songwriterforum.co.uk/index.php?action=profile;u=20061) , that whole extended intro is very stridently funky and full of instrumental quirks and surprises, with my favourite bits being the twangy guitar and the phasey organ.
Your voice comes in very sweetly and again the varied instrumental embellishments are a delight. Nice harmonies - and the that soaring guitar solo really cuts through, accompanied by yet more skillfulness.
Amazing instrumental backing track. Totally absorbing. My only suggestion, given there are such long and extended instrumental sections, would be to make the chorus a bit longer too. Or maybe immediately repeat the chorus at the end. But really enjoyed this just as it is, great collaboration. I'm sure you could get a sync placement for the instrumental sections, they are top quality ;)

Good evening Mr Skub ;D . Hope all is well with you and yours old chap.
I love this song mate, it's got all the ingredients that I want in a song, and they come together so well.
Love the guitar playing.. of course, and the funky organ works a treat. It builds well, and keeps giving.
My only thought was that the drums were a bit too 'busy' in places....taste ::)
Loved the Edge guitars....nailed it my friend. A true Lion Of The Mountains ;D ;D
take care...

The guitar starting around 2:13 is epic and gives off an intense U2 vibe! Great job
-
Great rhythm to this!
-
I thought for a while you’d gone for a full instrumental - but I think the wordless sections really work well. And of course the guitars speak in them. Your vocal sounding really nice here Mr Skub, not sure if you did anything different.
Those little electronicky bits are a great addition, and bring it right up to date. Great colab- I’ll have to check out Andrew as well.
-
Nice job guys, very creative sound around a strong Rhythm!
I really liked that guitar starting at 3:43 to the end and the Vox
is nicely done throughout. well done!
-
Not going to repeat whats been said,
But, laying down some sweet tracks recently mr Skub.
Top work.

Intriguing rhythm that shines throughout the introduction then eases us into the fine song that follows. I love the way that this song breathes and then reminds us that there is a song albeit brie attached to the wonderful music. there are so many things to admire. This has real beauty. Excellent work.

Loved that gutsy organ sound!
Been hearing some great songs lately where folks are really pushing the boundaries of what we have come to expect from them and showing just how much more talent they have than we even realised.
Masterful guitar work and great vocals here, Davy...a proper treat for me bacon (ears)

Sorry I'll not be around much until the new year folks,(a double whammy of family concerns and all my music gear goes into storage every Xmas) so just a quick thanks to all who listened to this one from Andrew and myself.
Have a good Xmas and new year. 8)
