Hey thanks for the comments, they are really appreciated. As far as the interpretation of the dream, I can't remember exactly what kind of hat I had on, only that he took it. He didn't hand me his top hat. pharmakeus - your explanation kind of freaked me out a little. I need to read up more on dream interpretations.

Thanks again all.

Ballad of Julian Assange by pharmakeus 6 months ago
Well a secret is not a secret if someone tells, right? So what is expected? He's is just telling it like it is. Other people are to blame for giving up the information. They are trying to shut him up anyway they can, with other possible crimes he may or may not have committed. Although I think a journalist should weigh what they divulge in information, you can't blame the guy for bringing to light the way our governments work. Great vocals and lyrics.

Ah yes, I couldn't sleep...made some coffee and started listening to this song. Absolutely love it. Nice chord changes. Great percussion track and synth work. The song really picks up in the middle with a very compelling string section. It's amazing how much you get out of very solid synth bass line with percussion...very effective with just a few sounds. Nice mix, very fine job. Thanks for the great listen to start my day.

Words For Christmas N°2 by telo12 6 months ago

Very nice and haunting melody.

For me it paints a picture of 1900's street in Europe during the night with snow on the ground and gas lights on the sidewalks to light the way. People getting in doors away from the cold to their fireplaces to keep warm....I should stop before I write a book here.

I think this song is fine without lyrics. Very nice.
"A Day In The Park" by abzwork 6 months ago

Very interesting listen. I like the use of the piano stabs about a third of the way in and the piano licks that follow the chord structure of the stabs. Nice guitar work both acoustic and electric. Excellent track.
