innocence any song that contains a major scale run (at 1:39) is A-OK by me! you sure caught that sense of innocence thanks |

I Can't believe those are MIDI drums. It's depressing, really. Inspiring, also. I want to go home and see if I can improve my drums. But the song crafting here is top notch. I've got no criticisms, just accolades this time. |

This was really sweet! And could easily have been found on one of those "odd" Beatles albums (White?!). Enjoyed this with a happy smile on my face... Thanks, Henke |

So uplifting without being cynical. And the instrumentation is very sweet, liked that flute very much. There is no way for me to compress my musical ideas in so little time and only for this I would admire this song. Congratulations, my good friend. |

top notch! Of course. It's an interesting nasally way you've got to singing that isn't quite Dylan at all as the harmonies always smooth things out. The drums really do sound live and the mix is just about perfect. The kick is especially nice. I sort of wish there was a little electric guitar to give this a little more oomph. Maybe an instrumental bridge with a solo in it? I guess the bridge is the ending "verse:, which is something I like to do myself. It starts out with the piano sounding like an old Cat Stephens song, and the flute touches are pretty nice. All sort of comfortable references here to make it nice and familiar and yet not. There's some sort of odd crackles in the ending with the "oo" but maybe that's intentional. |

harkens... ... to a amalgamation of quite a few of the late 60's pop bands. cool to see you try out the midi drum approach. I found they take up less sonic space. I think they turned out really good here. Mix is really good as well. The choir of backing vocals is ideal and turned out great. You always have a great knack on how to harmonize the vocals. excellent! |

Hi Michael.... This is another one of your great songs. All aspects of the tune, arrangement, sound and singing fit together so well. Take care. Paul |

All your tunes are bound to be excellent. The thing that strikes me about this one is the super clean production. Droney but not dirty. Another hit from the hit factory. |

I cry on myself when I hear your music. I like the way the organs sound on this, it has an street organ/roundabout feel which I find really great. |

Right on Your vox is top-notch on this. Does have that 60's feel. On the other hand, you remind me of Kurt Cobain on this believe it or not. You know I would love this. My wife was listening to you yesterday. She wanted to check out other artist and she thought you were really good. (I recommended you as a good example of MJ) Very nicely done. Loved it. Dave |

Aren't midi drums the best? Apart from a real drummer of course ;) Lovely song Michael - short and sweet and beautifully written. Love the way you use harmony. Top post! Neil |

I Laugh at Myself ah, what am exquite example of beatle-based pop! i HAD to download this one, of course. :) cheerz, -=ez |

Ah yes! This is just what I needed to hear! Thanks for such a catchy, pop-inspired song. Grat use of backup vox and synth. The message is what I really needed most! (I live in Hollywood, where everyone takes themselves REALLY seriously, and sometimes it rubs off on me.) :-) Cheers, John |

I laugh at my owner he has to pick up my crap everyday. Lol. |
genius. 60s pop revisited. bg vox sound very nice and I like the 'live' drums. I like to tap them out once in a while too when I have time, but they never sound this good. the synths are a real nice, subtle touch and everything sits really well in the mix. Top post!
