| This Will Be Our Year (Zombies cover) by michael2 | 1 year ago |
 The Zombies... enter now the way-back-machine... yes. They struck gold on a number of tunes. Archies?... not at all. Actually, this is - in my esteemed humble opinion, one of those occasions when the cover exceeds the original. I must say your vocal has a bit of a David Bowie feel to it, which can't be a bad thing. Excellent recording... you have my vote. D |

| Ukulele Dreams... by Dadai | 2 years ago |
| Thanks KennediKing and Mungo... I appreciate that you checked this out. Bill, I'll fiddle with the mix... I think you may be right; I had the same thought a couple times after posting it over at that other place  cheers... |

| She's Out of My Life (Michael Jackson Cover) by hiphopmoses | 2 years ago |
| A really fine tribute Moses... A tender vocal, heartfelt. I sense some pathos in your vocal... not just at his passing, but maybe at what could have been... the sadness of the last number of years for MJ. Kudos and thanks. D |

| When Is The Day? by Dadai | 3 years ago |
| Barretok, cool picture of Richie Havens. He gave a great performance that day at Woodstock. My fictitious scenario was based on what happened to him that day, as he was asked to go on stage early to start the concert (he was supposed to be the sixth performer). And then they kept asking him to go back out on stage and sing more, as the other performers weren't there. He had already performed for 2 hours and 45 minutes when he went back out and gave us "Freedom." The long intro was him stalling as he figured out what he was going to sing. Incredible! | |
| Lonely Nights, Lonely Songs by Dadai | 3 years ago |
| Much thanks to Sloparts (Ed Wemmerus) for giving me some helpful feedback on the first version of this song and then enthusiastically jumping in with his bass guitar and adding a real pro sounding drum track. D |

| Heartfelt song. Beautiful piano and tasteful guitar,KC. Best regards. | |

| Tenor Sax Reflections (35 years later) by Dadai | 3 years ago |
| pharmakeus... The suave bass and and nicely accented keys are loops. I don't want any undue credit. Of course I claim the tenor as my own D |

| Tenor Sax Reflections (35 years later) by Dadai | 3 years ago |

| Much thanks Bob... and Mark and Nuute. Sometimes simple and straight forward works best. I'm glad you all like this one. Jack |

| Last Sail (The Goodwillys) by Dadai | 4 years ago |
| I guess I should have added some more info... I was sailing a Cheoy Lee Robb 35... a full keel 10 ton sloop. A severe summer storm hit us in the Gulf Stream sailing north off the coast of Georgia and lasted for about 2-3 hours. We knew it was coming from marine radio reports. The Yanmar diesel and a steady tiller kept us going directly into the wind and waves as we hobby horsed for most of that exhausting, seemingly endless time. One of our biggest fears was that the fiberglass dingy would break loose and come crashing through the dodger. The picture above with the song is my boat a day and a half later, after we safely docked at Cape Fear. The song title is true. I was delivering the boat to a new owner in Long Island, NY. That two week cruise was my last sail on her. Thanks so much for listening and commenting! |

| Belief inside by Nuuute | 5 years ago |
Inspired you were.... lovely orchestral composition. As if it is an interlude in a larger work. I liked this. Kudos. |

Much appreciated, emanuel! Johnny Cash... hmmm.  |
|
| Dreamers Like Me - 2007 by Dadai | 5 years ago |
| Thank you Barretok! I very much appreciate that you took the time to give this song a listen and to leave your comments. So... you like the blues, eh? Cool. |

| A Final Moment - Video by drakonis | 5 years ago |
It doesn't get much better than this. I enjoyed the final moments of that day at the beach. Fine production all the way around Drak. And you can't go wrong with Patrick's music. I think I'll head down to the beach a little later with my wife and catch the sunset... Jack |

| For All The Many Things by Dadai | 5 years ago |
| Thanks Tobz... Yeah, I don't get much action here at iComp, though I don't participate much by way of commenting on other songs. Still it is nice to read your words. Take care. cheers, Jack |

| Drawn Into The Light (remix) by Dadai | 5 years ago |
| Well macmusicain, thank you very much for your comments... I am glad you like this song. cheers, Jack |
|
| Keep On Running by Dadai | 5 years ago |
| Pete, thanks for your comments. It is distressing how the same old story keeps getting replayed century upon century. Will man learn... can he... does he really want to? The problem seems to be that man himself is the problem. Any way, this song is just a small attempt to touch on that enigma. And thanks for the positive rating... it's always nice. cheers! |

| Drawn Into The Light by Dadai | 5 years ago |
| My, my, my... another visit and comment from DB. Thanks for stopping by and lending some support... cheers! | |

| Drawn Into The Light by Dadai | 5 years ago |
| Thank you Jerome, glad you like this song. I am pleased at how it turned out (knowing it can always be better). Thanks for listening and commenting! Jack |

| Like As The Waves by Dadai | 6 years ago |
| Hey Dave... thanks for the kudos. We are just two middle aged guys hitting and missing... (learners mostly falling short of the mark of true quality) as we attempt to marry the Bard to contemporary music.But I must say I appreciate you taking the time to listen and chime in. | |
| When? by Dadai | 6 years ago |
| I inadvertently clicked "no loops" on this song. Obviously there is one loop... the drums. For some reason when I try to update the song info I get an error message, and "mixed" re: loops doesn't appear. cheers... D |
|
| Reasons To Get Weary by Dadai | 6 years ago |
| Glad you like this one, pooey. I was going for a bit of the Tex-Mex thing, thus the synth trumpet. If I had a real trumpet player I would have gone that route. Anyway, I appreciated your comments. Is there a trumpet player in the house?? : ) |
|
| It Won't Last by Dadai | 6 years ago |
| Much thanks to the both of you. This was a hoot to record. It's summertime..... the blues. | |
| Thou Art More Lovely by Dadai | 7 years ago |
| Thanks for you comments. Updating the language of Shakespeare would be a tricky proposition. One question that would have to be addressed is: Would it still be Shakespeare? What we are trying to do is take the Bard's words as he wrote them and put them in a modern musical context. That presents problems of its own, for sure. But it does at least acoomplish the first goal. The second is to to marry those wonderful words with music that approaches in its own right the beauty and quality of the sonnets. Hopefully we are moving in that direction. That being said, you hit on the main thing I am concerned with and that is accessibility. Who knows? Maybe with the "right" updating of words one could have the best of both worlds. Thanks again for your input! Jack |

| Talk by thoddi | 7 years ago |
One of the best blues performances I have heard on this site, or any other. A 'large' tip of the hat to you. This is classic blues. Jack |
|
| Love Alters Not (collab.) by Dadai | 7 years ago |
| On behalf of the three of us, thank you for your comments. We thoroughly enjoyed doing this piece and working together. More sonnets are in the works. Again, we are glad you enjoyed this song. Jack |
|
| Rainstorm Final Mix with IGstudio by Dadai | 7 years ago |
| Daddio, Actually the horn section are produced by my hand through software instruments on GBand. There are a lot of good ideas like yours that can be done on this. Right now I am pretty happy with it. Get a few of us together in a live jam and then a lot more could happen. Thanks for your comments. Jack |
|
| THIS UGLY NEWS by j_twang | 7 years ago |
You deserve staight fives on this solid, rocking, driving, relentless well done instrumental. I hope others take a good listen and find this this nugget of gold. I don't record this genre myself, but know and love a good solid rock tune when I hear it. |
|
| Love Alters Not/Demo by Dadai | 7 years ago |
| Thanks for the comments. It is an idea/experiment I wanted to try to explicitly put the actual sonnet to music. As the title states, it's a demo. The idea is to bring Shakespeare to an updated musical form. | |
| Breezin' Along (revised) by Dadai | 7 years ago |
| I have gone a little back and forth on which I like better. But, I have come down to the same as you. I think this is an emprovement. Thanks again. | |
| Breezin' Along by Dadai | 7 years ago |
| Thanks, Ian, for your comments. I'm glad you like it. | |
| Home by thoddi | 7 years ago |
Just wanted to add my 2 cents. As I said before, Home hearkens back to the classic blues/rock songs of the 60's and 70's. Great song. Jack |
|
| Breezin' Along by Dadai | 7 years ago |
| Glad you like it Daddio. It's just a light breezy song. You may be right about the flange. I don't know. I'm so new at this mixing thing. I'm like a kid with a new toy---I can be dangerous with my ignorance re: GB. But, that's why I'm putting up songs. I enjoy it and I learn from the input. Now, about that new blues tune...... Jack |
|
| My Love (Barb's Song) by Dadai | 7 years ago |
| I am glad finally for some feedback on this. It has been received well on some other sites. The vocal harmonies are on a second and third track (sung separately). I never new I could do this kind of music until the last cople of years. Your are very encouraging. By the way, if you do send me a sax, could you make it a tenor Selmer Mark VI?? LOL. As I said it is on my list. Need to get the $ together. And I am sure I will be settling for something short of the Selmer (what I originally had). Thanks again. Jack |
|
| Dreamers Like Me by Dadai | 7 years ago |
| Good ear. It is a "tin flute" or penny whistle. I think that qualifies as a flute. Not all flutes have padded keys. | |
| How I Love You So by Dadai | 7 years ago |
| Again, you are most generous in your remarks. Jack | |
| Don't Let It Slip Away by Dadai | 7 years ago |
| Daddio, I am in the proccess of almost completely reworking it. It is way over "effected" and not structured right. Thanks for you comment on liking my stuff stripped down. I find that I am moving in that direction as I get more confidence in my vocals and guitar. Jack |
|
| Come on Over, Girl !! by Daddio | 7 years ago |
Daddio, You definitely hit it on this number. This has the energy and spontenaity of those artist you were inspired by. You "got da blues!" Jack |
|
| Rainstorm by Dadai | 7 years ago |
| jeepo-- thanks for your enthusiastic compliments on this song. It continues to get good responses. Whoa! Daddio--You know, you are an encouragement. I don't presently have a sax, but it is at the top of my "to get" list. And, though this song was not the genre I usually compose, I enjoy it (my roots after all) and I plan on more. Jack |
|
| Breezin' Along by Dadai | 7 years ago |
| Thanks for the input re: flange. I have uploaded a revised version. Jack |
|
| Breezin' Along by Dadai | 7 years ago |
| Thanks for you comments. Glad you lik it. I think your advice is right on. Is it possible to replace a the current version with a revised (less flanged) version? Or do I have to upload it as a new composition? Jack |
|
| She's Like The Wind by Dadai | 7 years ago |
| Daddio, Thanks for you gracious compliments on this song and also on Rainstorm. They are very much appreciated. Jack |

I like your stuff and this is a wonderful walk through an Arabian desert. Jack |

| Rainstorm by Dadai | 7 years ago |
| Thanks much for your comments. This was fun to write and record. Glad you like it. Jack |
|
| In The Dark by kilgore1 | 7 years ago |
Good song! The guitar work I especially liked, as well as your vocals. Jack |
|
| Ride Forth by LordAndret | 7 years ago |
 This is definitely a different sound. I like it and wanted to add other counter musical lines to certain parts. Mellow, background instrument voice to draw the song together more. I look forwar to hearing it in its next form. Jack |
|
| Sometimes I Want to Go Home by Dadai | 7 years ago |
| Thanks for the email, Ken. Glad you liked it. | |
| Making up the Weather by jobu | 7 years ago |
A beautiful song. Great harmonies on the vocals. The lyrics paint a picture. That's what you want. Jack |
|
| Where it ends by kencow | 7 years ago |
 A cool little tune. You may not play an instrument but you have a sense of what sounds good. It is amazing what one can do with the loops. Your vocal is good. Try some vocal harmonies. Jack |
|
| Homeless Road by Sobes | 7 years ago |
Hey guys, a really good guitar riff. I wish I was there with my tenor sax following up the guitar. Let's here some more. Jack |
|
| Beautiful So by myopic | 7 years ago |
Your voice reminds me of the sixties British singer, Donovan, without the English accent. Very cool sound. Jack |
|
| Drunk Girl Crying by Blacklilyorchard | 7 years ago |
This is both sad and sweet. I especially like the free association ad-lib flow. Sometimes it's difficult to keep the magic of the moment's inspiration when going back to re-do. Part of its appeal to me is the un-varnished sound and flow of the music. Jack |
|
| Who am I? by jibes | 7 years ago |
I really like the easy country rock sound in this song (great voice for this style). I think it is a great first shot. I know the feeling of being too anxious to upload a new song. I am already planning to re-record a couple of mine. I've downloaded some of your other stuff and after posting this I will grab this one too. Jack |

| My Love (Barb's Song) by Dadai | 7 years ago |
| When mixing and adding effects, I discovered flanger and went a little overboard. Ah, the learning process. | |
| I Can't Help but Wonder What is New by jobu | 7 years ago |
I just started on this site and already you are one of my favorites, as is BlackLiily above. You've got a really good sound and it shows; something of yourself comes through in the vocals/music. Jack |
|
| Dreamers Like Me by Dadai | 7 years ago |
| Thanks. Now that is flattery. But I'll accept the comparison. Kind of like an electric light bulb reminds one of the sun. Dadai |
|
| Dreamers Like Me by Dadai | 7 years ago |
| My daughter mentioned Roy Orbison also. I am somewhat new to the vocal thing, not having what I call a good voice. | |
| Disillussionmentitus by Blacklilyorchard | 7 years ago |
| I like your song. The sound is infectious (a bit reminiscent of the Cranberries). I know what you mean about reverb and voice! | |
