What You Need to Know

By Matt Patrick on January 22, 2012 8:08 pm

My band was on tour all last week and our van broke down an hour outside of Chicago, prolonging my time out of town by a day and a half. This one was really thrown together last minute. However, I am quite happy with it. Nothing gets your blood pumping quite like a deadline...

Great track - very pretty.

I like it!

You did this in a week? "Thrown together"? I'm jealous of your talent, this is fantastic!

I agree with tiasu, very impressive and lovely song.

Beautiful sounds and vocals! This is wonderful bro.

Ahhh magic.

fab. everything's so smooth and silky. the JX-3P is used so well, too - definitely want to use mine next week!

Nice! Each week I find myself wanting a Kay Speed Demon, haha. Great tones.

Wow.  Magic.  Are you a full time musician by any chance?!

ok - just read your profile.  Your sense of production - especially sequencing is spot on!  Am looking forward to next week :-)

sounds great!

yes,very nice song!

Fantastic. Great sound, great writing. Love it heart

Reminds me of early day miners and all of that sort of stuff.

Like the vocal treatment and harmonies... and lyrics.  Really nice work.
