you might have heard me ranting about this one in the chat...

the "dead end song"

anyway, I guess... not so dead-end after all... or is it?

btw... starts out quiet, but no worries

btw2... 4:30 = boom

btw3... 5:15 = BOOM

let me know...

Does this song not follow the Rules? Please Report Abuse

Dude, just checked out your music list and, well, you need to stop writing, there's too many tracks. Anyway, I'd forgotten you did that "Going To Die" track. I love that tune. It's on my MP3.
OOO, your vocals remind of Grove Armada  - At The River.
Actually a lot of this song does.
I'll post a link later when I get home, can't get to the website using the stupidly over protected college server.
Anyhoo.
I love this track, it's a fantastic tune. Really builds at the same time as not actually changing a whole lot, meaning it doesn't lose it's point but doesn't lose it's listener. The chord progression gives the sort of feel I aim for and fail to achieve so many times.
Heh, irony = dead end song called suicide....
Anyway, nice, good strong 80% and I'm whacking it on my MP3 beside "going to die". I should probably download some more of your happier tunes aswell...

wow, man.....how do you DO this stuff? Again, a very-well constructed piece in my opinion. Quite successful in creating a mood. Like the "galloping" rhythms, the "ebb and flow" tides of string instruments, the soft understated vocals.

I love how you blend so many different sounds together, and you do it SO WELL!!!

It's pretty long...but this type of "rhapsody" piece needs to be.  I could almost hear this as the opening music in a Wes Anderson film (and I love Wes Anderson films )

I know the beginning is supposed to be quiet...but it sounded abit muffled too- then got fresh around :18....at first listen I didn't like this, but I might be changing my mind the more I listen.

To echo everyone else, you are very talented.  Professional prospects indeed!!

... what they said,

but you do need a plop killer!

(man, it's really hard to find something to critique on.. your stuff is just so well constructed and produced, though this one isn't doing as much for me as some of your other tunes... gets better with the second "BOOM"... sure I think it's a great album track... but your p's and b's etc. are plopping... so you need a plop screen for your mic... beside that, excellent piece you got on here)

Oh wow. This deffinately makes suicide seem peaceful. But in it's darkest hour, it's really not. Guilt can kind of make it seem a horror.

Pretty awesome. Isn't my kind of genre, but I really listened to the core parts of the song (Some people just don't really do that when they hate a song, and that's why I like some rap music, because I like the music part, not the vocal parts.) And I really like them.

Hmm... Can't vote... See, I knew something like this would happen if I were to install Firefox 2.0.

I get a feeling of Bowie meats Mobi, Bowie is the sinth piano popping a riff, Mobi the scape strings.
But this is simply for my feeble mind go get to grasps with your awesome talent.
You make amazing music, until now I've always heard the hints of something I recognise but then you always take it somewhere completely, your own! 
I would have loved to hear more vocal, in that, if there were a vocal as strong and with such conviction as the music it would be one of those totaly amazing tracks.
And that would make you one of those totaly amazing people who write such totaly amazing tracks!

Dead-End NOT
This isn't no dead in song. I'm into rap but this is something that I will have to jam to by the way nice harmonic vocals. The drum loops are cool aswell and I don't see why you called this a dead-end sound like a new beginning nice work
