Well, this song is called 'Where the problematic play' but it wouldn't fit in the title bar. This is my newest recorded piano track

This completes all 5 tracks on my piano EP, enjoy.

VERSE 1

Somewhere,
In the middle of the jungle,
Where the problematic play.

I am,
Hacking my way through the vines,
Of nerves inside my brain.

Trying,
To find,
Someway to explain.

CHORUS

This one goes out,
To the women in the magazines,
Who pout and try to tell to tell me who to be,
But they're not fooling me,
Hell no,
Hell no,
Hell no,
I'd rather die alone.

VERSE 2

Don't waste time,
On the telephone line,
It'll only deceive.

Practice counting cards,
And do your best to,
Preconceive.

I hold a key inside,
The underside,
Of my fist,

And there are many things,
Many strings I could pull with,

This...

CHORUS

...One goes out
To the women in the magazines,
Who pout and try to tell to tell me who to be,
But they're not fooling me,
Hell no,
Hell no,
Hell no,
I'd rather die alone.

- Chester

well, a lovely tune. like your way of making music and lyrics.

But I heard a great problem with the piano playing. its a very common problem of piano players at all. by pressing harder the keys and make some extra dynamic you speed up abrupt. On the other side you slow down the tempo when the song's becoming calm. I can hear this extremely in this song. Maybe you wanted to do this maybe not. Its not bad at all but very extreme.

The recording quality is amazing. stereo is full in use. wish I could explain my thoughts in a better way. hope this comment will not be misunderstood. great stuff.

I agree with TK on the quality.... top notch....

    I Like this, actually, it's nice to see a different approach in your music.... the Piano really gives a different feel to your voice....

    Very nice.... Still like Melancholia V2 better... hehe

man this song is sooo good. 

TK said something about you speeding up on the piano? it's quite obvious that you meant to, and it sounds beautiful beacuse of it. keep up the great work

Great! Lovely song.
I think the playing speed-variation Chester used was on purpose, TK. At least it works fine for me and I like it that way, but you are the keyboarder TK so you know a lot more than me about this kind of thing.
But the song is really good anyway.
Good job Chester.

Hey triton...
No I'm definitely speeding up on purpose. If you'll notice, in the soft slower bits, the right hand is still playing quite loud.

I'm a big fan of variations in accelerations. All about dynamics.

- Chester

Hmmm - listened to this several times (great song btw !). Read both sides of the dynamics arguement and in the section from 1:27 to 1:47, the piano track seemed to "run away". This section IMHO leaves the listener with the perception of a 'timing issue' rather than emphasising the dynamics of the song. Just MHO of course! Would be interesting to time streeeetch this section back to the original tempo and see the difference. A good compromise perhaps, may be to keep the piano part 'in tempo' all the way through but use your vocals to "hurry" that section, thereby giving the impression of acceleration (and dynamics). Or maybe I should just shutup now

Quality is great and I really like the sound of piano. After chorus piano gets a whole new meaning which makes this song so good. Keep up the good work.

I don't think you understand...

It's most definitely intentional. The feeling the chorus has is that the first note is always off the beat so it has a real urgency to it

- Chester

Heh, well I didn't mean for things to get nasty :P

- Chester

A nice piece of music - your vocals are great once again, but I think I prefer your guitar work.  You seem to add more feeling to it when you're playing guitar
Good work though

I enjoy the emotion that you put into this.  I hope you can find other players that can follow your dynamics before that becomes another lost art.

You're my newest hero..I love you man really great job*

very nice... as usual..

like especially where it speeds up...

ooh, like more where it slows down...

sounds very natural...

I think this might be my new fav of yours..

nice work.

Sounds good, and yeah it's obvious the speeding up and down is deliberate. Makes for an intense, very focused journey throughout the entire song, which is an ace production.

though I'm not really getting the lyrics that well. the chorus speaks for itself, but the verses are brow raising. doesn't matter as much though, it sounds nice enough. good luck with it.
