I hear some out-of-sync here and there between keys and drums but, this aside, this is one of the most original things I've listened to, lately.
Harmonically the track is very interesting and i liked the voice, too.

Fear of Happiness by fromano 1 year ago
Thanks a lot Babs, Boss, and all the other friends who spent 5 minutes of their time to give this lil' song a listen.
This tune is (guess what?) auto-biographic, and tells about the very moment when, after the worst months of my life (a divorce is never an easy experience to cope with), I've found the courage to "open my door to hope", and start living and loving once again.
Ok, I know that songs-with-a-message are somewhat out of fashion, but this song has one, and the message is: however life has beaten you, whatever pain you suffered for, never be afraid of happiness.
Perhaps it won't last long, and maybe you'll suffer again, but those moments of joy will be worth all the pain.
Long live and prosper, my friends.
I love you all.

Riemergo dalla confusione delle mie cose sparse (molto, ma molto sparse) per ascoltare questa splendida canzone, e fare a tutti e due i miei complimenti.
Inutile dilungarmi troppo, Anto suona da Dio e Fausto canta e scrive come pochi: siete un'accoppiata di talenti fuori del comune, e anche un sordo se ne accorgerebbe. Grandi!

THIS FEELS RIGHT by SISTERS 1 year ago

I'm so very glad I came here and found this song, it's one of the best things I've listened to in a while. A simple yet convincing melody, floating over a sophisticated (very Floyd-ish) soundbed (loved the reverbered piano chords, they sound like an upright piano played in a wide, empty hall), and a GREAT, expressive, warm vocal interpretation... all these things conjure to let me love this tune.
My sincere congrats to both of you.

Not So Kind (draft) by crissew 2 years ago
I listened carefully and here's my humble response:
- structure & harmony: nuthin' to complain, it works well. I'd add space for a guitar solo before the end, but it's not compulsory.
- Lyrics : very good job. like it all the way around.
- arrangement: I'd change the drums pattern to something simpler. Let the bass do its part in varying the beat, so...er... you need a bass, and a piano and an electric guitar with a moderately crunchy tone. Not much more than that... maybe just some "aaaah"s in the chorus section.
- Voice: you have a good vox, so please don't use that vocoder-like effect!

in short: I really like the song, and I'm convinced that with a few touches here and there, and a proper arrangement, it would work damn well.
Cheers

Excellent to say the least!
ooohhh, that tremolo strat in the background is sweeet.
Superb strat tone and soulful playing.
there are 2 ways to play a guitar: 1) trying to play as many notes as you can in a measure 2) putting as much heart as you can in every single note.
You, thanks the Almighty Lord, belong to the second category of players which, by the way, is the one I prefer.
Thanks A LOT for sharing, Bing.

The monster eats thoughts by MusicLeft 3 years ago
Mi associo a Bernardo (cosa inquietante in se', hehe) nell'affermare che qua l'unico mostro (di sensibilita' e bravura) sei tu! Pezzo pazzesco, progressione armonica intricata eppur facile da seguire anche per chi, come me, alle armonie jazz non e' esageratamente avvezzo. Capacita' esecutiva indiscutibile, e una performance ai soliti, elevatissimi livelli.
Suoni splendidi e ottima produzione.

Rain Of Angels by gongcity 3 years ago
Una considerazione all'imperativo?
Vabbe', nessun problema. Lungi da me il voler innescare una sterile polemica.
Ribadisco, comunque, il mio punto di vista: i generi sono gabbie nelle quali e' comodo collocare le cose, ma non possono essere considerati come limiti invalicabili.
Cosa si può considerare Rock? Un pezzo contenente una chitarra distorta? dove non ci sono sintetizzatori? dove il tempo e' un 4/4 a 120 bpm? Potrei citare decine di autori (e relativi lavori) che, pur essendo considerati a furor di popolo come "classici del rock", non contengono nessuno dei summenzionati sacri crismi.
Lo stesso, ovviamente, vale per tutti gli altri generi.
In sintesi, quel che conta e' se un pezzo ti piace o no: se questo ti e' piaciuto sono contento, indipendentemente dal genere.

Immagina se tutti la pensassimo allo stesso modo, che noia.
Non ho idea di quali siano i sacri canoni che per te qualificano un pezzo come "Rock", ma posso garantirti che nel genere e' possibile comprendere cose diversissime fra loro, dai Byrds ai Metallica e oltre. Io credo di pormi nel mezzo, ma in fin dei conti non me ne frega una cippa.
Grazie, comunque, per il commento, anche se lo avrei preferito piu' costruttivo smiley

Rain Of Angels by gongcity 3 years ago
Aridaje! ma allora è un'ossessione...
Rock, Electronica, House... ma a chi interessa?
Mio caro amico, se tutto cio' che hai da dire su un pezzo e' in che categoria ricade, allora sei messo maluccio.
Un consiglio da amico: prendi in mano uno strumento qualsiasi, impara a suonarlo, studia un po' di armonia e composizione, inventati qualcosa che non sia un'accozzaglia di loops, e poi ne riparliamo, OK?
