I love it - not sure about the mix though - I guess the drum phasing is intentional? But to me it just sounds a bit like a dodgy cassette tape that's about to get mangled. Apart from that, it's great!

Hi Peter,
Glad you liked the song. The dodgy cassette tape mix was intentional (though perhaps ill conceived or poorly executed). As the song is about trying to keep a clear Buddhist-like "mindfulness" about things, and given how difficult that is in the swirling, fast-paced environments in which we live, my own thinking fails to achieve the Buddhist ideal and can tend towards the sound of a mangled cassette tape. So, it is what it is--even if it sounds sorta lousy.

as long as it was intentional then it's fine by me! I do enjoy your very original music!

It's a very cool song... but to me there's too much effect on the vocal giving it a somewhat muddled sound. Maybe just a matter of personal taste and it's my only nitpick... guess the old fashioned me just likes being able to make out the words easily.

Cool lyrics- fits perfectly with the advice I sometimes have to remember to takes myself: Control what you can.... and learn to deal with what you can't control.

Hi aclark,
Thanks for the comment. You're right, the vocals are muddled, again purposely so. The vocals are my inner voice--me speaking to me. Wish that inner voice was less muddled sometimes. Perhaps I should have made it clear at least for the song. Instead I was being conceptual. Don't have the production chops to pull it off perhaps. Peace of mind to you, or soaring feedback if you prefer!

I had a feeling it was all about artistic interpretation. Thanks for explaining something you should have had to!

I think this is quite a good song. Were you going for Bowie thing?

I think it would sound better if you had done this "straight".

But, I did like it, indeed!
