Well... If you got up on the wrong side of the bed John it sure wasn't musically! Man Mr. Feter called this right on! This is a power rock tune for sure! I like everything everything about it but personally I could see two small changes. Vocals at times tend to beat with the BG music. This could just be my ears... I wonder if a little EQ and less reverb on the vocal might bring it forward a bit. But simply put John this is a killer great tune! Thanks for sharing! |

Poor Charlie... You should listen to "I'll be sad when you're dead" http://www.macjams.com/song/46133 Sounds like you didn't like Charlie much. Cool song, very much "groovin' up slowly", and with that short reverb it's got a mid-seventies John Lennon vocal sound to boot. |

Just so people know, this has no autobiographical significance. I often just go outside of myself and try to assume a mood or character to write with. The ascerbic brutality of the image of someone actually attending a funeral just to confirm the death is just one of those noir moments in my mind, and we all have those dark moments, no? |

Good one! Lots to like here. Great vocal although I'd drop it back a tad. The rhythm section parts are very tight and generally interesting although the drums get a little repetitive (that open/close hihat on 3 seems to be there all the way through). I'd suggest having a shot at using a midi drum loop and making it your own with some interesting "drummer ideas". Using a midi drum loop gives you the basic groove pattern, but allows you to go in and modify (with the pencil tool) the notes so that you have almost total control of the detail in the track. Lots of potential for making the kit more interesting. The drums are the only thing that leaps out at me here. Great song. Neil |

very dark... this has got a very dark funk groove goin on. I think that dark quality adds to the honesty of the song. very intense lyrics, and mood. played with a lot of feeling. good job. |

Smooth Cool sound on this. I love that synth; wah is great, the whole thing very 70's (in the best possible meaning, of course). If it needs anything else at all, I'd say a female trio "oooh"ing and "ahhh"ing and picking up that final chorus on the way out. Fine job! |

If you can't say anything nice sometimes it feels good to let it all out. Some people deserve that. Very strong song. I enjoyed it. |

I love it Slinky music- kind of prowling... you know? Great lyrics... really appreciate that you took the direct approach with it. There was no doubting what you were trying to convey. And as much as I love the turn of a clever phrase sometimes you just gotta lay it out in black and white! |

double fantasy oh i see some others caught that as well. a cool tune that has the classic earmarks of a lennon album. I think you pulled it off marvelously and made all your own. excellent |

Ah yes, an Epitaph for an SOB Been there done that, felt the same way a time or too but didn't have the guts to say the words. Just stood in silence. Great lyrics, especially considering the subject matter. Like the Raggae feel of it John and the mix is spot on my friend. Nice guitar work to and your vocal hits the mark for the theme. Be well and be cool my friend, Ed |

Charlie is missing out... ...on not hearing this one. Haunting synths in the background that suit the subject matter perfectly. Very tasty instrumentation as well. It's all in the pocket! |

Ouch John tough stuff... a bit surreal... the whole time I'm listening, I'm hearing Donald Fagen... the lyric & phrasing somehow remind me of DAN... as always you are deft with the craft... and you have communicated more than what is on the surface.... now.... time to forgive peace; Scott |
