Hi one.

I've got the cd and it's absolutely brilliant.

I sent you a pm about it one. 

[Marc JX8P]

Great stuff, very atmospheric and moody. Vocals remind me a bit of Bowie. Top notch!

[Laguna Rising]

Hi One
I know your style and your music so this is not a surprise to me...
But I must admit the sound quality (aka production) here is astounding. Very good.

Cheers

[Van Greco]

Nice familiar feel. I agree. The production values seem to be increasing with each new thing i hear of yours One. The drum sound stands out in particular. Enjoyed it! Thanks man 

 Dinner calls and so I must away...

[blipp]

Yes the production is mind blowing. It sounds better than some commercial cds i've heard.

[Martin E]

Very strong track, One. One of my favourites from the cd.

Cool job.

Hi Daniel

My pleasure

It never was

I want to know it will be okay
But it doesn't seem to look that way
I want to know peace and light
I want to do whats right

It never was and will not be
We never were as far as I can see
Time destroyed our only chance
Now it's too late to ever get it back

You can't miss what never was
You can't forget what you don't remember

I want to know some of the truth
Is getting through to me and you
I want to know it will be okay
I got to make it through the day

It never was more than a dream
We never were allowed to be
Time destroyed whats gone and past
Now it's too late to ever go back

You can't miss what never was
You can forget what you won't surrender

It never was and will not be
We never were as far as I can see
Time destroyed our only chance
Now it's too late to ever get it back

Hi One,

Real nice combination of melancholical vocals and electronica.
The lyrics are good too...

the only remark I can make is that you should pay attention not to sing under pitch... In some tiny spots you tend to 'hang' on to the right pitch... But hey, this is only a helping remark for future recordings, it's not that you're already really of pitch on this one ;-)

keep up the good work!
bye,

frederik

The Beatles go all glitchy...

Not really my thing, but nice vox, like the sitar sounds.  Well done sir!

[Fred S]

I think I've heard this before a few times Good stuff!

[magmavander]

Yeah, I know this one, a classical 
Very good re-working, nothing to criticize on the sound.

Thanks!!

THis is pretty tight.  I haven't heard the original, but I see that you've taken something and reshaped it with sounds that are not generic pop.  It combines the contemplative, and the alien sounds of electronica in a way that's so above me.  The electronic flavor of some of the drums has a warm analog character in it reflected in the noise types and placement in the mix.  Good work.
