starting to get you... man when i first began browsing MJ I thought that your strength was in the arrangements - all those light as air beatlesque melodies and cool new folk type vocals. but the more i hear from you the more i think your unique genius lies more in your ability to marry really heavy themes to those light tunes - and not in an easy way - not in that lennon save the world type of way, which anybody can do, but in a much more difficult, "this is what the average guy has to do to get from one day to the next" type of way. If that makes sense. At any rate its admirable. Cool theme, cool classic structure, and really ncie guitar soling. Thanks for the dl! |

michael the lyrics resonate with me. not to mention your vocal performance is chillingly perfect. your musical sensibility is sharp. and you know, a lot of my favorite songs I learned and loved are also various combos of those three chords... *E |

I think this is one of the 'clearest' sounding things you have done it sounds like you are really getting to grips with logic audio its great innit??? :-) |

This sounds really good - lovely sound on the vocal, and great harmonies. The lyrics are really well done - evocative and resonant, and soulfully performed. I really like the little touches on the piano; they add a very nice layer. Love More, by the way, and that drum sound is perfect! Very cool. Nicely done. Peace. |

I'm thinking more along the lines of P.F.'s Echoes. you really captured the feel and sound. very nicely done! i like it all, especially the sparse guitar lines. getting old kinda sucks doesn't it, especially when you still feel like a kid inside. |

great tune and lyrics You are a phenomenon. As for aging, it may be unpleasant, but when you consider the alternative.... |

Yeah I totally see Roger Waters influence all over this one. But, that's a good thing. Great production. I like the beat you chose and the lyrics are stupendous. You often outdo yourself. Dave |

What an awesome song you've written Michael These are some very profound lyrics my friend. Now we know how it feels for a young "Rock Star" to get old and face the realities and ravages of time. The fire still burns bright, but it now warms the hearts of the ones you love as well. Great production my friend, even the "Drums". The reason I say that is that the drums keep it going along without distracting from the real message of the song. So do the rest of the back tracks. Great job here Mike, awesome song for sure it's gonna be a classic. Ed |

Very nice Micheal... Your experiments are often better than my best efforts it seems! |

Lately I've come to appreciate Gilmour more and more. Great tune you've put together here Michael. Love the way you do the line "it's not just me - it's me and you - and baby makes it three". Sweet solo and overall grand production. I'm so jealous you're getting logic down. |

Hey! Wow! Time marches on... Whatta great presentation! Pensive. Reflective to the present moment. Beautiful instrumentation. |

meddle2 it sounds of an early lost track from pink floyd. it is exquisite in musical construction. the singing voice is of a dream. the lyrics are scribbled on a napkin of a forgotten pink floyd dinner. the guitar is the center stone in a zen rock garden, perfectly placed. 0x0 |

Michael.... Age is really just a number. If you have your health and love, it doesn't have to even be considered. I'm 60 and I still am 19, inside. Life is beautiful. You are a really gifted artist. Blown away by your submissions. We are lucky to have you here. Thanks. |

Really nice love the beats and the music as well actually. Lol, agree with ic42 that its sounds like a pink floyd track, which is a complement and I know its not intentional but thats how your tracks seem to turn out like. Very good though. |

Yeah.. ...the "it's not just me it's me and you baby makes it three every single thing we do together til the end" section is straight outta the Pink Floyd book of vocal phrasing techniques (not many copies sold apparently!). I agree about the "More" references - very authentic. I sometimes think it's a good discipline to set yourself a guideline or template to work to - especially when learning software - it's amazing what can happen sometime - As for drums - as I mentioned on my reply to you the other day - I think EZ Drums might give you some MIDI bombast options. Phil p.s just getting to the very end of the guitar solo fade now - very Dave Gilmour!!!!!!! |

So much time? When I listen to this tune it's as if time never left the 70s! Very authentic sounding. The vocals, the organ, it all reminds of me stuff I thought I'd forgotten. I would have used a drum loop here if you don't feel up to the job of programming. These drums are a bit out of place. It mostly misses cymbals and such. |

Simply stunning! Phenomenal song - you ARE as good as Floyd here! Great arrangement, lyrics, sounds. Divine! |

TIme Nice, slow, melancholy mood. Time has been passing, but if you look for it, some of the simplicity is still out there. Nice, slow, melancholy mood. Thanks Bill |

You may have pain in your sacroiliac, perhaps a touch of rheumatism. But it seems to me you're in your prime musically.....Your guitar playing shows a touch of class, this makes me wanna hear more solos from you. |

I love the chord progression in the chorus. It takes the melody interesting places. The progression itself is lighter than the verse progression, but not all rainbows and cuddles. It's the subtle things about your songs that make them so delicious. The solo had traces of George Harrison in it. |

Rock 'n' Roll Dad Ouch. Your eloquent lyrics speak volumes to me. I saw grey chin hairs the other day and a single grey chest hair (on me). I'm freaking out. Ah, but your song has a tight grip on the nutsack of youth (excuse my language, ladies). You are younger than any young rocker I know!! Is that what all the aging men say of their rocking peers? M2 - thanks for another great song. This is a big one in my collection of favorites. Bob |

Dig it love this one. great lyrics and delivery - especially the BG vox. Love the held-back guitar work at the end. It gives the impression of someone who could really shred if he wanted to but is holding back because he thinks he's too old to get away with it. Kinda works with the theme of your song hehe |
