Crisp production - tight and confident. The lyrics are particularly chilling to me (I'm a school psychologist by trade), and I've seen too many kids make some really disastrous decisions for themselves, their family and friends. The way you've turned their poetry into solid lyrics for a solid song is very impressive. I really hope they somehow have a chance to hear this sometime. Very well done - top playing and singing - harmonies work really nicely, and the simple solo is perfect for the rest of the song.

Thanks for listening. Yeah, when Matt played this song to his niece, who is 13-something, she took a moment after it ended, then turned to him and asked, "Is everything OK?"......

The solo is simple. Sometimes I like to just hear the TONE of the guitar, not necessarily a bunch of notes. Simple can speak volumes.

...That in these times we live in, our children feel so hopeless.

Strong production. Sweet acoustic guitar tones. Excellent vocal harmonies. I just wish the subject matter could be more positive. Not a knock on you guys, just a statement expressing my thoughts on the state of the current generation.

If you have kids, hug 'em and let 'em know you love 'em.

Teen angst has been around since the dawn of time I think. I for one still have reams of dark verse in a box somewhere , but hey, I turned out alright. Didn't I? Come' on now, didn't I? Hey where did everybody go? ..;-)

This poem was just so direct and dug so deep, it really resonated with me.

Vic,
Yeah, I guess it's just the artist in me. Every little scrap piece of crap on the ground I find beautiful and endlessly fascinating. But this was a gem, and needed to be captured. There is this great magazine that gets published about 4 times a year called FOUND that is entirely made up of writings people just found on the ground. It is amazing!

This is good, I can imagine this one on the radio. I like the lead guitar in this song. Man you're one professional muso.

Sure, teen angst is not going to vanish, for Rock's sake. I liked the way you crafted this lost poem into such a nifty balad. Very good song, production perfect, guitars great. Professional. Matt has a great voice, while I found singing, on some words, a tad overdone. Less expressivity gives, to my taste, a stronger emotion. The guitar solo is just perfect.

Thanks for stopping in. Been trolling around your page. Kind of outside your genre, so I appreciate your input even more. I have a few more experimental cuts to post soon. I'll drop you line, they are more in the loop-sample-lo-fi park, I'd love to hear what you think. In the meantime try "Spymaster" it's kind like what's coming up. Ciao.
