Like it -

Yes, definitely bit of Flaming Lips going on here - can see the big baloons bouncing gently around the room!

Interesting mix of voices, seems to work pretty well - good line up of talent you've put together there.

Enjoyed the way it shifts mood in the last quarter - quite spooky.

Cool track -
Enjoyed -

Flaming Lips are cool &mdash 09/06/07 - 08:54:48 PM
If you dig the contradiction in that phrase

I too love the change in mood at the end. Originally it came in more abruptly and was even more of a contrast.

I might do another mix of this tune with that abrupt change...

Thank you for stopping by

Nothing like the Beach Boys and an endless summer.

I loved singing to create a certain vibe on this piece--glad you enjoyed the song as well :)

trippy &mdash 09/05/07 - 08:50:06 AM
what a great track. I think it actually slowed time in my little cubicle. I could feel the suns presence in the flourescent lights and it warmed my heart. And then the spaceship took me up in a beam of white light at the end. I want some of what your having. Bravo

Brian's back! &mdash 09/06/07 - 10:24:58 PM
Reminds me a lot of the first time I heard the Beach Boys' "Surfer Girl" and "In My Room". I nearly fell over on my first listen to SG, although the harmonies became less unexpected as I got to know Brian Wilson's work better. Excellent sounds here, and no nits to pick.
Cheers,
Neil

The biggest compliment you could pay me (or anyone)

Thank you for stopping by and listening

Thanks, too :) &mdash 09/09/07 - 06:26:58 PM
It is a great compliment.

Who knew one day I'd be making music like this--I surely didn't!
...though this So. California native grew up with the Beach Boys' music. Like...totally! :)

Interesting track &mdash 09/07/07 - 06:31:24 PM
This was song has a lot of "atmosphere". I like it. The vocal harmonies are to die for! The way it totally changes pace 3/4 of the way through is awesome.

I could see this in a movie-- it has such a great feel to it. . . I would love to see some sort of video put to it--or some sort of visual aid. It's just one of those types of songs to me.

Digging that squelchy bass... &mdash 09/07/07 - 10:02:01 PM
...and that rather eliptical beat. Warped nostalgia with a sobering twist. Magnificent.

warped nostalgia.... &mdash 09/09/07 - 06:31:22 PM
hehehe.

I always look forward to the additional elements Bryn comes up with as we collaborate. This song started out so simply, and I just love the way it developed into what it is here.

Thanks for the comments, KK :)

a really beautiful song - the rhythm is a swaying masterpiece (so unhurried) and the vocals to die for. So many things going on musically that it will take many listens to get to grips with. I absolutely love this. Sounds like perfection to me.
Cheers

Groovy stuff Bryn &mdash 09/28/07 - 09:07:43 AM
Loved th way you put this together. The melding of the voices was excellent.

I have to say the ending threw me. There I was bobbing on the beach when the alien spacecraft suddenly appeared........

Cheers

What a display.... &mdash 04/28/08 - 08:36:20 PM
Very David Lynchian... Feels like a classic that's been twisted into a new and melting shape that's floating right above me in my hologram display unit. Very nize......
