This is what it is... And what you make of it....  It isn't rock, or folk, or any other label.. it just is...

Nice flute melody and beat.The guitar chords are really sad sounding almost melancholic or rather of longing.They definitely carry an emotion. Really good gob Jim!!!Gets nice one!!!

The feeling is great.
Sound the beginnings of King Crimson ( In the Court...).
Just think the drum is out of beat, but you can easily fix that.

Triton, I don't think it's an indian drum, it's a Bodhran, Irish, is usually played faster.
This is really nice, a lament, the melody through it is weeping.
The slow drum gives it an eerie edge!

Hey Jim.. glad to hera another one from you.  This is pretty cool, just fix the bodhran's timming and perhaps the mix (I'm hearing too much bass).  But the feeling gets trhough anywas, and it's a feeling i can definitely appreciate.

Nice one dude.

Thank you..
This is what I love...  Interaction among comments on my song... Makes me feel good to see it. I also love to get small stories of memories that my song helps to conjour up.. Truly this is what music is all about, taking the listener to a place other than where they are now..  Bringing memories, happy or sad, to the front of our mind, and allowing the listener to linger for a moment, and just reflect..  Wonderful powerful stuff that is...

            Thank you for allowing me to take you back there, and thank you for sharing it...

 Thanks, that is what I was hoping for with the drum, but I only have a Bodhran, So I had to improvise..I think it came out well.....oh, and no, I didn't use a click track...  I should have... I know.... But I never do... I always just play and hope for the best... 


    One day, I might actually try to tighten up a bit...  Maybe about the time I start taking lessons... I REALLY need lessons...  sigh...

I love how you try everything.

This is really sad sounding, almost like a funeral march of sorts, I do like it, but I'm going to have to go have a good cry now

good for relaxing.. I enjoyed it

except that sometimes you can get off rhythm, throws me off sometimes. But maybe add some synths. The tracks don't always blend together. You could do background vocals to sustain and entertain.

This reminds me of music from the Andes.  The mountain music.  It is very soothing to the soul. Beautiful regardless of minor production issues.  Really lovely!

Cool. Sounds like mountain music, kind of medieval in spots.

For some reason it reminds me of the music that accompanied the original Diablo game. Nice
