Description

This is pretty much the first song I've done using mostly MIDI. Its a work in progress, but I thought I could get some feedback. To me it kind of feels like a funeral almost, with the choir in the background, but instead of feeling http://www.macjams.com/song/32809extremely sad, it feels almost happy, and seeing as men get less sad when people die, I think the title fits the music nicely.

UPDATE: 6/18/07

Thanks for all the comments guys! I've been working really hard on the song today and I'm almost done with the instruments. I should have a rough track up in the next few days. Thanks!

	the only time i have wept besides hitting myself with a hammer, was thinking about past mistakes, and what if's... not very healthy.. this song seems to give the feeling that it is ok to heal...i only wish it was longer, cause i was not 100 percent yet... about 72.6275 percent healed... good playing, subtle production.. appropriate for this tune, i think

	Midi I did an all Midi song one time. I had fun. But I enjoy playing guitars and bass. Sounds like you have a good hold on the midi thing. Besides. Im with you. Just about everything I post here is a demo and work in progress. So keep at it. Check out my latest song called Lets Take a Holiday

	You have a potential winner here! You could do a lot with this. I think it's sadly beautiful for lack of a better term. I would like to hear more. Awesome melody and structure. Thanks for sharing! Check out my latest song called Dark Circus

	Looking forward to seeing .. .. where this ends up going George. A very nice mix with some excellent possibilities. Doing things in midi seems (to me at least) to be a serious challenge - congratulations on getting something that sounds this good on your first try.
