I love how flowy and free your vocals are; they're such a good fit for your instruments, which always strike me with the same quality.

Thanks!  I guess it makes sense that one might approach vocals and instruments from a similar place.  Vocals are just built in instruments after all.

My dear CC. I knew the word before you found it out. It was something I learned from weeklybeats, when minaret_kid made a track from elements of my music and named it petrichor. Since then I stumbled over several other tracks with this name. But your song is the only real tribute to petrichor and really is beautiful.

Ha ha!  That's funny.  Here I was thinking I had found some obscure word to write a song about, but it figures the Weekly Beats crew is all over it already.  I suppose there are only so many song titles out there and there are bound to be duplicates.  I'll have to check out some of these other petrichors, since you were so kind to provide the links.

Awesome man, cool tune.  Love that you did the vocal double thing again where the takes are hard panned to the sides.  Gives it a really cool effect and really grabs your attention.  Nice use of the bird too, fits well with the track.

very laidback and soothing... the birdsound is a nice touch. Well done

Ha nice I didn't realize the meaning behind the word.  I first heard of it from the comic "Saga" which I highly recommend.  It's like Star Wars with a bit of an R rating.
Nice guitar chord progression throughout and cool lyrics too.  Another cool guitar solo too.  Nice work!

Thanks!  I do like playing around with double tracking and panning.  Especially on vocals.  I feel like it makes them feel a bit more "filled out."

Thanks!  It's kind of fun to get links to older Weekly Beats tracks actually.

The bird was a happy accident.  A couple days before I recorded the track I was making several trips in and out of the house to bring in groceries and the whole time I kept hearing this bird just chattering away in the tree.  So I pulled out my phone and got like a minute and a half long sample of him.  I could have gotten an even longer one, he was really talkative, but my arm started getting tired since I was holding it up over my head to get it as close to the bird as possible.  Then when I was recording this song a couple days later it occurred to me I had this cool bird sample and this might be a good time to use it.

I've read several of the trade paperbacks of Saga (someone recommended it to me a few years ago) and I liked it quite a bit.  But you've reminded me, I don't think I finished it.  I read up to what was released at the time, but I bet there's been more since then.  So thanks!  I need to figure out where I was and get back into it.  (I don't remember petrichor being in it, but it wouldn't surprise me.  It would actually be a really cool name for a sci-fi character or a planet or something.)

There's a very nice smell to this song too.

Oh yeah.  That's all the axe body spray I drenched it in during the mixing process.

Could be, the level of high school is definitely there.

Yeah Petrichor seems a trendy title on Weekly beats.

The vocals always remind me of Billy Corgan. I like the atmosphere of this track, it sounds like Autumn.

Good feeling track, like how it shuffles along. The bird is nice. A fitting autumn track. Glad I learned that word. I knew the character from Saga as memtioned above, but didn't know meaning of word until today really. Cheers to good tunes and learning things!

It would actually be kind of interesting if everyone intentionally did a track with the same title sometime.  It would be fun to see how many different ways it could be interpreted.

I had to look up the character in Saga and I think I remember her from the picture, but I also think my memory is kind of bad.  Actually I know my memory is pretty bad when it comes to stuff like that.  Maybe I need to re-read it from the start.  I do remember that I liked it.

Never heard the word before but makes for a good song theme. Awesome bird accompaniment is on point. I can picture the bird enjoying the sun after the rain has passed.

I like the idea of everyone working with the same song title.  You could assign us all a title and see how many different takes on the same word is produced across WB.

It might be difficult to coordinate, but it would definitely be fun.  I bet there would be a lot of really different stuff.
