Sorry to be out of the loop for so long. Here is a new one I just wrote this week. Its rough but actually may work better that way.

Sounds like a drop-D tuning ... ?? The droning bass string and unplugged style is very reminscent of Nick Drake. Great lyrics!! Tells a real story and conveys a very strong emotional connection with the listener. I think this stands on its own very well; anything else would be icing on the cake. Excellent song Matt!!

I think this is a great composition., I agree with above very Nick Drake like. Really liked this one ...awesome song...:woot:

Thanks for the responses guys. I'll take a Nick Drake comparison anyday. And yes it is drop D tuning. I think the sinus infection I had while recording may have lended to a more folk sound on the lyrics...although I am out of tune a few times :)

Way to go, Matt. It's really great to see you get back in the game of recording. Now, if I could only follow suit. :rolleyes: Your "acoustic folk meets Michael Hedges" style is unique around here and a welcome balance to the mix of great musicians on this site. I really like the bassline melody in this tune. I think that's what pulls the listener in and hold the attention, where-as the higher end string kind of color it up a bit. But that bassline is really cool. Your original tunes are always interesting and creative. Keep this up, and you'll have your year-end CD full of home recordings just in time for the Christmas season. :)

Oh, I almost forgot...great utilization of a sinus infection!

Great to hear you again! I always loved the sound of both your guitar and your vocals. Very nice tune too! This one's a keeper! :thumb:

great stuff!! this is a nice tune man, wish i had song writing skills. love the acoustic and your vox are great.

This was very lovely hun..I love it!:D
5***** nominated

You are all to kind considering I have not been out here on this site very much lately. I am sure I have missed a lot of great music...to my defense I have been traveling way too much for my job....Don't you all wish we could just work on music all the time?

Thanks Naifuzan and yzerman for checking this out....if you got recent post I will be looking for them. And of course the ever so kind Rain....always good to hear from you :)

Pure class!!!!! Exlnt vocals, guitar work and song writing!!!!!:thumb:

Beautiful. One punch right at the liver zone. I´ve been counting windmills for a long time, one of these days I´m ona fight them like Don Quixote did. Awesong song dude, both guitars and lyrics. 5 here and nomination as well, this one really touched me.

Thanks for checking this out and posting SG Std.

And thanks for the kind words and nom Ukelele...you are too kind man. I really appreciate that.

Go Koo!! Great job! Really shows talent! :thumb: :thumb:

I also think 5's for the tune are in order!!

Sweet song mate. Lovely vocal tone and acoustic guitars. This would be a good song for listening in the car while passing country miles as the sun's setting. Thanks for posting

gutted I missed this when it was posted and apologies on being late with my reply. This is very, very impressive. Rough? I don't think so mate. This is definately worth 5 stars. The fact I am currently in awe of Ray LaMontagne (I mean seriously!!) this fits the vibe and introspective feel of his best stuff.

Superb work - 5 stars and a nomination from me.

Thanks for the support guys. I have recently found my way to some of Ray LaMontagne's stuff as well...I am really digging it. Also been listening to a Scottish guy by the name of Alexi Murdoch. He is very Nick Drake like on a few of his songs...very cool.

I am not to familiar with Nick Drake but I have heard Dave Alvin (the Blasters) and this reminded me of him right away
Great tune Dude!

Man that was really nice. Great to hear you recording again. :thumb:

Splendid tune and performance!
Hehe two cool acoustic tracks today...must be my lucky day?
