Sweet vocal harmonies, uplifting guitars and a funky bassline.  The tones you get at the end reminded me of Hendrix wailing   nice work!

Dig the doubled and panned piano that accents the vocal melody. The synth bridge/break at 1:36 is super cool! Very hendrix guitar outro. Cool lyrics and story, great work!

An Amaranth really has a pretty exotic appearance. A wonderful world you are leading me into. Who did the the drums and how?

great again!  The track really grows as it goes on. I also like those dramatic interlude sounds and rather radical ideas you put here and there and especially the descending thing in the end. They take this song to a new heights´...Fantastic!

Great song. You really paint a soundscape.  You really do a good job of creating one large feeling with both the music and the lyrics.  I really like the extended part at the end with the "solo" guitar and all music to end it.

Oh I really like the guitar (?) melodies that appear to be hard panned. They are both magical and nostalgic. This track has really a lot of soul. That ending was magic as well! Loved that sound and raw playing!

Thanks!  At the end I used a setting on my Boss effects pedal called something like "spirit of 69" that I imagine is designed to imitate the Hendrix sound.  I just thought it sounded cool here.

Thanks!  Sometimes I just feel like breaking up the flow for a second and that synth bridge seemed like a good way to do it.

Thank you kindly!

Drums are from a sample pack.  I looped and spliced to fit my needs.

The descending thing was a bit of a spur of the moment idea, but I liked the way it turned out.

Thanks!  Sometimes it's nice to just shut up and play some music.

Thanks!  I think the panned parts you're referring to start off as synths, but then I replace them with a guitar on the second go around.  Then there's lots of guitars at the end with a little bit of synth accompaniment.

Aw, thanks, you're too kind.  I would have to figure some stuff out to do this justice at a live show, but maybe someday!
