Description

Found a cool sound while experimenting with the Crystal synth plug-in and just went with it.
Extra credit to anyone who can figure out the voices in the middle (there are 5).

Lyrics

One voice said kill them / One voice said die
Then one voice said save them / And I don’t why

One voice inspires / One voice is mad
Once voice is righteous / One voice is bad

One voice killed millions / One voice set free
One voice spread hate / But not hate in me

One voice asks questions / To see who are
Once voice leads nations / To reach for the stars

One voice can move a mountain / One voice can change the world
We can all move the mountains / We can all change the world

	Great Lyrics This piece has a great message. I can see how you were attracted to the Crystal patch. Which one was it? The vocals were hesitant but good. Don't be afraid to cut loose. I think the guitar was slightly out of sync with the other instruments. I'll look forward to more of your work. Check out my latest song called Lagan Lore

Great Lyrics
Thanks for the input. Now that you mention it, the guitars do sound off
especially in relation to the vocals at the end. I did the guitars before the
vocals and inserted a little dramatic pause – does not mesh with the vocals.
Any other timing problems are due to the fact my guitar playing sucks and
my wife kicks me off the computer after one take. The Crystal patch is called
*By the Numbers* I don’t think I modified it, but I don’t remember. I’ll be
sure to take a listen to your stuff too. Thanks again.

I liked it
I really liked the rhythm section/triangle and guitar part. I just scrolled down and saw others agreed. It was really nicely arranged. The mix could use some work -- the vocals are really drowned out at some points. You seem to sing very well in the higher register toward the end, but the earlier lower singing/talking was a bit flat. I could definitely see Mark Knopfler covering this tune.

	I liked it Thanks for the comments. I was going for more intimate vocals at the beginning. But I had the bass turned way up and that had muddied them. I did the mix with headphones and that probably caused me to put in to much bass. Good call. Thanks. JG Check out my latest song called Take Me There

	I disagree... ...about the guitars. As i sit here counting in the beat, i can hear the guitars in syncopation. it has an interesting effect. I feel that the syncopation adds color and the composition would be rather flat (in texture) without it. Anyone agree/disagree? -Patman Check out my latest song called I've Had Better Days

	I disagree... Hey thanks for the input. If I ignore the vocals at the end, the guitars are right where I intended. I was going for the syncopation you mention. But it seems the guitar rhythm is off in relation to the vocals. But I'm still trying to decide if that's a bad thing. JG Check out my latest song called Take Me There

	Nice vibe but.... Nice feel of the track but the loop sounds really dated! you need to get hold of some decent samples or better, make your own. its all about sound...... Check out my latest song called Urban Soldier

great message
I really liked the mantra quality of your voice in the
beginning and how you emoted in the higher registers.
Love the mix of voices and vocals, I'm really not great at
loops yet so I appreciated you choices.
My wife has friends in Boulder so we did Pearl street for a
weekend w/o the kids. Being from Taos,nm, it was great
to see other peoples tourists!

	9/10 Simple, but powerful lyrics. I think knew who you were talking about for each 'one voice'... and then the sound samples helped confirm that. Nice mixing- Good stuff, keep it up. Check out my latest song called Glass Spider
