Exciting Exciting ... when two of my musical heros join to make something together ... will it work? This did! Splendidly! A strong testimony of an existential trauma for many in civilised world right now. You have depicted so well feelings also I have here in northern Europe ... for example of being nervous of turning the radio on in the morning. And Zitis masterly illustrations makes it even stronger! Great job alltogether! It can impossible be passed-by unnoticeable. |

Thanks for listening! I really appreciate the kind words above, but just don't have time to respond to each individually - I'm "flat out like a lizard drinking"(as we say) at work at the moment! : ) I'd really like to thank Fran for his work on this - I've played with some very good guitarists, but his musical response to this song just blew me away (whoops, there's that metaphor again!). And, he was so easy to work with. I forgot to mention that in the process of reworking the song, I removed four of my own guitar tracks and redid the vox - on my AUSTRALIAN made Rode NT3 mic Ed (a wonderful piece of equipment)! Also added some cymbal crashes and lifted the drums generally. Thanks again for having a listen - its hard not to get paranoid these days, but we do still have control of how we personally deal with those around us, and that can make a difference! Peace!! Neil |

great musical texture super lyrics, nice singing, awesome song structure/chords & idea, keeps everything off-kilter, super orchestration & guitar playing. Id like more anxiety in the voice of the refrain to match the mood, it was just read lines. This sounds much like something Pink Floyd would do, with the mix of guitar, song, ambient sounds, and spoken word... though not their style of message. Love the poingancy of happy-kid sounds at the end to drive home the urgency of your point. The mix sounds a little funny to me, like the bass & treble need boosting, sounds a little like its played through a telephone. But those are minor... overall this sounds like the makings for a BLOCKBUSTER song, this has major hit written all over it... at least in my brain. Great stuff here! ttfn, Drakonis |

Pink Floyd Lyrics me thinks%u2026 Some people would say they like the Eric Clapton Guitar but I think its a little more Phil Manzanera from Roxy music and don%u2019t mistake it with Dire Straits. Pink Floyd Lyrics me thinks%u2026 There was a little Eno in there also, right? Rock on Mr. J |

progressive The words are very compelling, I'm very moved by them. This is a great song! Your singing is wonderful! Ziti's guitar is very lyrical. Less blues licky and more melodic, but never losing intensity. Great job! |

Belew me away Shades of Bowie and Belew here. It made me want to go out and buy an electric guitar and an Australian mike! |

This song's time up on the little chart is coming to a close....I want to say Thanks to all those who listened and commented. 25 downloads as I type this...that's a wonderful compliment. Neil's song struck a deep chord within me and these guitar parts came very naturally. It's a different style for me...Neil's oddball chord voicings are sooo cool...and I am as proud of this song as i am of any I have been on. Thank you Neil for this little treasure I will have forever. |

Afraid to turn on the TV Yeah its getting like that for me too... but I do anyway and find out that John Howards passed the VSU (volluntary student unionism, means that only students that can afford university services are allowed to use them) and once again rejected the Kyoto Protocall. I'm not paranoid yet... I'm just having a growing desire to live somewhere else unless the govt changes to someone thats actually trying to look after the people that need the most help. But yeah, struck a chord with me this song did. Also something about the sound of the vocals (and of course the accent) just helps me hear an Australian sound about the song as a whole. I really like the mix and the nice and simple song structure. Ziti's playing is also pretty damn cool. The childrens voices were interesting in the coda. When you said detention center I expected to hear clips from that nighttime footage of Woomera Detention Center or something... but instead you had children going "nah nah nahnah nah" which does sound pretty sinister in this context which is cool. Didn't know what to think when they just started laughing... didn't quite fit for me... didn't have the same feel or something... Anyway, fantastic work... its just a shame theres so much material to work with these days... |

most excellent! awesome prog-ish number here! i love it! i find myself more and more impressed with your creations as i work my way through your library. you are truly a talented man! age |
Everything I said about the origonal version stilll stands. This is a
powerful song no matter how it's done. Ziti has given it a wonderfully new
spin. Well done to you both Neil and Ziti.
