This may scare the hell out of some of you and for that I apologize. I didn't know where it was going when I started this but I do like where it ended up.

Lyrics

i will not pretend
to not be who i am
i'll tear down this black wall
and I will show you all
the man inside of me
he wants to be set free
this wall will fall right now
so watch as it comes down

and now that he is here
you have a lot to fear
he likes to speak his mind
he's not the fragile kind
he'll never be your slave
he's not yours to deprave
he's uncorruptible
and he's inside of us all

	Mmmm! The subject of these lyrics will apply to most people; we all have many parts of ourselves that need to be subdued or released at certain times. You gave those words a great platform with your excellent performance; voice and guitar spot on, regards M Check out my latest song called Come Back Billie

WOWZERS!!
I love the dynamics you have going on here between the acoustic and heavy sounds. The vocals made me think of Trent Reznor meets Strawberry Fields Forever. Really cool sound, and I dug the acoustic playing- the slight feedback was a really cool ornament right before the sonic blast that followed. Top notch, sir. Top notch indeed!

	well it started with the acoustic riff and the lyrics. i didnt have a chorus so i thought something non traditional there would work with the theme, and that's when I plugged in the firebird.. thanks for the listen Check out my latest song called Keep Your Chin Up

	tear down this wall a honest thought of who we are sometimes. great dynamic with those slammed and angry guitar chords against the mellower verse. I think it tells it all. Check out my latest song called November

	v. cool you are always one for effective contrasts in yr songs but this takes the cake! so cool. nice bludgeoning, ear bleeding riff. we need that on macjams. I could hear johnny cash doing this one of his later efforts. perhaps with the bludgeoning toned down though :) Check out my latest song called Novis Libris

Yup, I'm hearing Trent Reznor
I love good dynamic contrast and this was choc full of it.
The calm, quiet, melodic parts were good on its own, but even better, it created a really tense vibe. You knew something was going to happen, but you didn't really know what or when. Then it comes and smacks you in the face with its metal fist - figuratively speaking.

I couldn't help but think that this kinda needed some last part - a grittier powerful version of the verse - one that maintained the chorus power but one that was really going somewhere. Because I kinda thought the power parts lacked a bit of momentum - it had the power (did it ever!) but lacked the direction.

But then again, what do I know?

I do know this: Very cool stuff!

holy mackerel..
you're like some sort of evil genius. This is CRAZY. I don't mean this to sound bad, but this song works for me because of it's dysfunctional nature. It completely hits you by surprise, and parts that normally wouldn't seem to fit together just do, and so well. I've been a little behind on the commenting scene recently so i have a few of yours to catch up on. Thanks for this Ridd, another for the minidisk player! (ipod broke)

	Hulking it out I thought the art looked like a sunn o))) record and it sounds a bit like that in the end. There are huge chunks of metal in this song. These claps in the second verse are ace.

full, then full to the extreme
big full sounding acoustic gtrs! great production right down to the egg shaker. i wouldn't say i was scared by your "choruses" - as a giant smile came to my face. it's like you are saying "i will beat you to death with my... choruses!" :)

rad tune! like how hot and clippy the production is in the loud parts. dig how limiter you have on the whole track is pumping.

Wonderful...
...feel to this. The acoustic guitar sound is lovely and warm and goes well with the whispered Kurt Cobain vocal.

I kind of suspected you might bring in the super-fuzzy guitar and it didn't disappoint when you did - great stuff!!!!

Fantastically atmospheric, all the way through and one of the finet things I've heard on MacJams for a long time!

Superb!

	I bow to your power this is amazing. Another reason why I never listen to real world music anymore. Between you and M2, Vic, FEA, Feter, davis, ego, and a host of others - why bother? Great track - really perfect. Check out my latest song called try not to think

	I'm smiling The contrast in sounds in this song is incredible. Love the heaviness, the guitar is unfocused with a purpose, if that makes any sense. Like a brick to the head. Love the lyrics, I think I get where you're going with this one. Mason Check out my latest song called Left to Swing (w/ The Composer)

Friends
This song reminded me of FRIENDS from LED ZEPPELIN III, a moment of pure genius. I know you are going for simple lines in this, but I feel like it is missing an element, a chord change, or some other sort of development. But then again I make everything I do way too complex and I dig your approach. So, maybe don't listen to me on this... It just feels like an opening idea instead of a finished one. Could be a cool track on an album playlist. Love the pounding parts.
