veeeerryy psychedelic Dan....works for me....

[danielearwicker]

@timbo241162 Thanks, glad to hear it!

[5Beatle]

Definitely one of your best songs! Very inspiring... especially the chorus. Great style!

[danielearwicker]

@5Beatle - Thank you!

[Matbro]

so cool it gives me goosebumps.. hehe... great track!

[jazu40]

Syd Barret somehow bring me to your music. Your music is great. You are a major label material. I'd like to learn more about your band (members, equipment), but on your website there are not many information. Keep on great job.

[OfficialNeilGard]

JFK said that :-) Sounds Great!

[TheDigitalMafia]

Yeah, Ok I'm hooked.. lol.. Love your Music man, its really great.

TDM

[bmesiasbmesias]

Wow, this a great song, love the intro and great lyrics. I do think the vocals could be louder.  Keep up the great work.

[muzicul]

I love this song: vocals remind me a bit of Duncan Sheik. Did you have flat monitors when mixing? Sounds fine on my KRK's but on other speakers it's boomy: Waves shows a 10db increase from 25hz, peaking at 70hz, on through 92hz. Pulling this down 7db helped. Your vocals are way too good to be tucked so far down in the mix and could use a +4db boost :-)

[lurchileb]

is my favourite, and i´m going to make it my ringtone, if you don´t mind. :-)

[yugosake]

Re: the low vocals: I've heard a lot of songs where having the vox lower in the mix works, and in my (humble) opinion, it works here, for sure. It brings the music out more, and since the music is so complex, that's a good move. I like.

[clemzzz]

I'm a big fan of your stuff , and think it'll be criminal if you don't get at least 1 CD release... maybe you could finance your own release , you seem to have some cash (judging by all the gear ) my only constructive critisism would be: VOCALS , bring them up in the mix( R U SHY?) these songs do deserve a good vocalist who could give it that little bit extra that may get you a recording deal ... well done though... you have more talent than 95% of youtube amatures

[danielearwicker]

Thanks. I can't see the point of CDs nowadays - all my tracks are already available for download - if anyone really wants to make a CD (why?) they can do so. Also I prefer my own vocals to anyone else's - not because I think I'm a singer, I just want to sing my own songs. I don't want them to sound like someone else.

I do wonder sometimes about cutting some vinyl for nostalgic reasons.

[clemzzz]

I understand ! , i have this thing about my own vocals too , i do similar things to you , but so many unfinished tracks.... my voice is a bit like matt johnsons ... but i really struggle with some registers. this song is really really growing on my and i'm getting more used to your vocal BUT like i said , remix it... bring the vocals up abit

[clemzzz]

on about my 10th listen today , now... the chorus is fcuking amazing !!! very addictive tune.... stay in touch , maybe i'll do a couple of vids for my stuff and i'd appreciate your comments

[nijtram74]

dude i don't want to be rude,but it sounds a bit out of sync on some parts.

good job playing.

[CroTube5000]

Excellent job, very interesting song!

[Trence1967]

Daniel,

You have a fan here. I like all the production as well as your drum patches. Good use of syncopation.

[ZeMariaSP]

Hey Daniel! Greetings from Brazil. I´ve just discovered your work as I was browsing through Smiths stuff and must say: Wonderful Job!!! Really nice songs and lyrics, all carefully produced, mastered and mixed. I hope you achieve the billboard's soon. GL

[lurchileb]

i really like this song. great intro!

[liveforever222]

wow your a very good guitarist and it must of cost a fortune to get all that equipment.

[artistfood]

Sweet sound :)

[crosstowntattoo]

ok,here you got a spanish fan.....sound great,regards

[joshuacrime]

Bloody hell, Daniel. This is just amazing. I love your chord progressions; very non-linear. Never really heard you do much with effected 12's either. I am really digging the sound (I am starting to do it too). Thanks a lot!

[Alvarotheking]

This is great music. Thanks!

[damienmetalwind]

It's like Elliott Smith came back from the dead and formed a band with Johnny Marr.

[fiscornioman]

Sounded something like Morrissey for me.

[nbwatki]

I really dig the drum patches you used for that particular tune - much more presence and the snare sounds great.

What sound bank are you using anyway?

[chilly22]

hah i watched "the dish" tonight... this song sprung to mind a few times ;)

[dhowellbassist]

very nice song. well played--- video reminded me of bowie's space oddity vid.

[spaceyfacecakes]

I think this track heads off on a nice fluffy tangent from your stuff to date. You and it are wonderful.

[illinc]

Excellent song, mate. Gotta be my favourite yet. Keep it up

[Zebonka]

You must be some kind of tax lawyer to have all of this gear.

[Toph7444]

Wonderful feel and melody. I absolutely love this track.

Keep them coming!

[orchardhill]

Ambitious. Wonderful. GRIFFY in CANADA

[jjpalomino]

Is this a new tune? It's great. I love the JFK chorus.

[secretshine]

soundes good to me

100 stars as well

[kidcorporeal]

It was really good until the drums kicked in. The toms and high hat are off by quite a bit.

Sucks too--you're a great guitarist. Redo that drum track homeboy!

[danielearwicker]

I totally disagree. The drums all sound exactly how I want them.

[kidcorporeal]

Dude, seriously. Something is off. Everything is fine up until the :49 mark and then it sounds like a sloppy metronome kicked in.

[danielearwicker]

You're watching the wrong channel. Go and search for "Boring films of perfectly accurate metronomes pointlessly ticking away for hours".

[lara9764]

some people, say like yourself, cant here everything. you exclude yourself from whats possible. it sounds terrrrific

[chilly22]

eh.. check your ears.

[fffffcccckkkk]

@kidcorporeal get a sense of rhythm man, it works.

[siipris]

Damn, that's a great song... really different. Nice drumming.

[Chr0nict0wn]

I like it. Not as good as the others on your debut album, but it's pretty solid. Still waiting for your "Untitled Backing Track" to have lyrics and a title to it though. :)

Keep up the good work Daniel!

[danielearwicker]

Glad people like it :)

[chilly22]

simply beautiful

100 stars

[IrishBog]

The guitar at 2:00 is totally sublime... love it.... the Podcast version is so much better to listen to....

[danielearwicker]

That's the 660/12 with AIR TalkBox. Didn't video it because it was a spur-of-the-moment thing when I was trying to come up with the vocals for the chorus. I was listening to it on an endless loop and started hearing those notes in my head.

[NightChariot]

it sounds very unique, great job

[Parmesello]

Year! That's fantastic, love the feeling.

[AshmanGT]

JFK for life!

[ednaplate]

Excellent.

[ttto]

HEEEAAAAAAAAAAAVYYYYYYYYYYYYYY­YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY­ Nice1 LostDubs

[Freckled713]

great song! i really like the falsetto in the chorus, it sounds super groovy!

[Dejital]

The shaker was a little too loud on my headphones, but otherwise great song! Post some more originals in the future

[unclealbert72]

Beautiful Daniel.

Is this one of yours?

[IggSterMF]

Very nice job!
