    great job & hopefully you continue posting up...ill keep on watching lol

  • dude this rocks

  • hey this is good. great feeling, both musically and lyrically.

  • i miss listening to this...

    *M*

  • This is great!!5 for sure! Thought it fit together perfect! I just love the guitar too - beautiful. jane

  • how did i miss this for so long, cool song my friend!!!! 5 stars ain't enough !!!

  • WOW! Isodig... I've been off YT for a month, that's why I've not been around - Hell bro, I can't tell you good it is to come back to this! This is AWESOME - that voice is sounding even better... 5 stars and fav'd. Hope all is well with you and yours. PW

  • Well, welcome back around bud. I am not having much time these days to get on here myself. Glad you like the song.. When I was making it I was thinking about your setup there and how you like to digitally record and mix, since I know pretty much nothing about it.. lol... Thanks :-)

  • Love this one Bro..really super

    Rocket

  • Hey Rob, thanks bro. :-)

  • Got my headphones on and the sound is just kickin'! What were Mary's helpful hints? Care to share? Great great song Iso!!

  • Hey Mike, thanks man :-) Glad to share... She basically said that she uses a condenser mic and digitally records and then loads into ProTools, adds touch of delay and reverb, and boosts high end EQ to make up for the loss of presence due to YT processing. At least that's what she told me about one song. I basically did the same thing here, but I also added crossfeed to simulate stereo.

  • Just had to hear it again, and again and...

    Love it!!

  • love it! Is this a Takamine you play? And what amp/record settings do you use?? Cheers& keep on rocking!

  • Hey Floh, yep that's my trusty Tak... I am running it into a Fostex MR-18 (recorder) through an LR Baggs Para DI (which is amazing).. It's the EQing that gives the best sound I think. It was my first time using all that stuff and I don't remember the settings, but I was trying to keep it minimal.

  • you got some great pipes on ya man guitar sounds as clearas a bell*****

  • Thanks bro. I got a new pickup for it (LR Baggs M1), which I am digging.

  • Love your sultry, soulful voice. I like the way you structured the song too. Good job!! :)

  • i must say this is an awsome song u earned a new fan RoxOn brother

  • Thank bro, I appreciate and it and roxon yourself :-)

  • Wow man that is one great tune! 5 stars

  • Thanks a bunch Manny, I am very glad you like it.. I am honored by the vlog too bro... Appreciate it.

  • It's always really pleasant to listen to you play and sing. Keep on enchanting our ears. 5 stars my friend.

  • Bonjour, mon ami! I am very glad you like it! Your comments always put a smile on my face and make me feel great. Like your music. Thanks so much. :-)

  • Interesting... how that effect makes it sound as crisp as stereo... It;s getting near the end game... all the best. New 5*****

  • Thanks so much Emmanuel. You sir, rock. :-)

  • Hey love this song! You really took it up a notch. Listening so many times now.

    Pat :o)

  • Thanks a bunch Pat. I am very glad you like it. I put up the mp3 for you. :-)

  • another 5 bro!this song and your performance is terrific!the sound quality is studio professional grade wow!!

  • Thanks Dan, I really appreciate it. It's been fun learning this stuff, though I would rather just play, lol.. But comments like that make it worth it.

  • Wow Isodig! You sound excellent in this one! And also, very very nice composition! Especially "Till you took you away" which was great!!

    Cheers!

  • Hey VB :-) I am always glad when you comment on my vids, and even more when you like them... Thanks so much.

  • Great work Isodig, excellent production on this track. It obviously took awhile... now I know why things have been a bit quiet over your way for a while! Fantastic stuff! *****

  • Thank bunches bro. The audio recording didn't take very long, though I had been messing around with the arrangement for many days, which was a lot of fun. I used a digital recorder for this one and putting that back to the video was really hard for me, lol...

  • very very nice :)

  • Thank you Sarah. And so you are too. :-)

  • There was some tastey licks in there...good stuff.

  • Thanks man, I am glad you like it. The memory of what I did is already fading, lol.. Grrr at my brain. But at least I can learn it again from this.

  • Awesome!!! you have great voice!!! 5stars☆

  • Hey rocker girl, thanks so much. You are awesome yourself.

  • I just listen to this for the 3rd time and just wished I had an mp3 of this song.

    Pat :o)

  • I'll put it up on myspace and link it here in the description.

  • Pat called me over to hear this. You really are a fine talent! Love the music.

    Nichole ;o)

  • Hey Nichole :-) Thanks so much, I am flattered. You guys are so cool.

  • Wow you really out did yourself! This is so well done.

    Patrick :o)

  • Thanks Patman, I am very glad you like it.

  • Hi Isodig, great rendition!! Way to bring out the dark side of these lyrics with your awesome tone. Cheers, ~Mary 5* of course!

  • Thanks Mary, I did the mixing according to your advice, though with different software. And even used a condenser mic :-) I really like how it came out, so you were right and thanks :-)

  • Wow, technical advice on recording from Mary Win = Helpful?

    I'm astonished hehe ^^ Cheers, ~Mary :o)

  • Haha, it's totally true. It's definitely cool to find out you know more than you think you know instead of the other way around which is usually embarrassing and can lead to emergency room visits. Cheers back atcha Mary :-)

  • nice bro

  • Hey LastHuman :-) Thanks man. I don't know if you can hear the Marillion influence on it... probably not lol..

  • Man!... the stereo sound just jumps into 3D after going through the mono entries...

  • Thanks bro :-)

  • WhooHoo! Awesome! On the short list! The last time I checked there was 18 great entry! It's going a tremendous pressure for AleishaR.... ******

  • Thanks Jon.

  • Man you are just so SOULFUL and peaceful and tranquil. I can't imagine you having a bad bone! It all comes through in your music. Really nice lead adds in there too!

  • Hey Jerry thanks man. I didn't really ever consider myself a soul type until people told me that on here, lol. It makes me really happy when people I respect so much like what I do.

  • Thats a great version! And your comment on (Mike) is a good idea. Id like to try that. Open softly & bring it all to a violent end!

  • Thanks bro and right on.. I just couldn't figure out how to make it work but I think it could be awesome.

  • Isodig you the man......good luck in the comp.......We want to hear more from you....

  • Thanks so much to Reg for those kind words. I am glad you like my version of it. I've been kicking around the song a few weeks I guess now and it's been a fun little project.

  • great tune, performed very nicely! the rasp in your voice is, the borrow IvoniceAstrid's word, "atmospheric." awesome stuff, brotha

  • Thanks bro, wasn't sure if you would like it.. Glad you do.

  • I can fell this bud...very nice job ... got room for a solo too.. a little more than a tich of distortion... but .. not to heavey...

  • Thanks Mike.. :-) I was actually thinking to do a much more full version, starting out small and finishing with drums and full arrangement but I chickened out lol.

  • Just super!..great song

    Rocket

  • Hey Rocket, thank ya bro.. Low4Life. :-)

  • Your arrangement really does justice to my friend Aleisha's song - awesome 5 stars!

  • Dude, that is F'ing excellent, your vocals really grabbed me, some nice licks in there too, very sweet job, man!

  • Hiya Dave. Thank you sir - I appreciate it a lot man and I am glad you like it.

  • Awesome isodig! Wanted to do this tune as well.

  • Hey Shawn bro you definitely should - and thanks man.

  • Hi Isodig, until now Ralph(conkling) was my favorite, but now he sure has some serious competition.... I LOVE IT!!!

    I'm happy you made this contribution :-)

  • Ah Kristina, well I am just happy you like it. :-) I really wasn't competing, and I there are others I definitely think are better than this, but I wanted to do something good because it's Aleisha.

  • I'm sure you make her proud with your music :-)

  • Thanks so much Kristina. I really appreciate the nice things you say.

  • this is great, so atmospheric, and i love your voice x Ivonice

  • Thanks so much! :-)

  • hey man, I was immediately drawn in to this song by your voice. You have an incredibly unique voice. (the change with the descending major chords worked really well to)

    right on!

  • Thanks Ralph.. Your version of this blew me away.. It's fantastic. I think my voice is unique only because most people that sound like me would never sing, lol.

  • I cant find Org Post , but I Know I liked this /5 :o)

  • It's cool Dave... Youtube traded the ability to see older comments with thumbs we can apparently sit and spin on.

  • and getting more posts is getting tougher for the impaired . lol :o)

  • Uploading you mean? I had some issues myself.. but I always have.

  • Seems its getting better for me on the uploading but I think its something to do with the new cameras .

Singing and playing TOP NOTCH! AWSOME sound! 5 and fav main! I wish I could hook you up with money main, But Im poor! LMAO!

  • Hey Jerry.. Just trying to be like you a bit more man. The editing did take forever but that's because I don't know what I am doing. I am not even sure those overlays are from the right part of the recording, lol..

  • Looked right to me!! I think youve accomplished a great deal in sound quality! If I Pushed you in that direction well, all I can say is thanks and this Kicks ass man! Love the earthy quality of the vid too!!

    Great job. :D

    Love this version so much. Smokey babe! :D

  • Hey Aleisha! Ohhh... Honors are so yummy, hehe. But really, you digging it is better.

  • Love it - the two guitars (or are there more?) work really well together.. almost as one. It's been too long since you're last post isodig.. I LOVE the playout bit -- "never wanted to say goodbye" Top class. Peace

  • zzzzzzzzap! Your user name really needs and exclamation point at the end, imvho. It's just two guitars, I think my strange sense of timing makes it sound that way. I could say the same thing to you (it's been too long since your last post) even though it was only a few days ago. Your music is really amazing. Which makes your comment that much more awesome. Thanks.

  • Isodig, you are too kind. The next post goes out as a dedication to you.. just have to write something new first :P

  • See, there's an example of why I am actually not too kind.. I was a bit stunned when I read it, lol. A dedication by one of the best musicians on youtube is.. humbling. Thanks man.

  • split chords -> the bass is in the end. for example D/F# is a D chord with a F# bass

    Wonderful sound isodig! Very beautiful

    Kris

  • Ah, Thanks Kris.. I got it right them this time! Though I did have a 1 in 2 chance haha.. Thanks for the nice words to man, I appreciate it a lot.

  • FANTASTIC!!!

    fav and five

  • Hey Pepi man, thanks - you rule bro.

  • Awesome Isodig !!...sounds great dude!..yer style...LOW voice..great music...great lyrix...cool !!

  • Hey Eddie, thanks bud - glad you dig it.

  • hey this is great bro hell yhea def low

  • Thanks for checking it bro. heh. The camera is sitting on the floor and still I had to point it down because I was so low.

  • Very fine performance!

  • Hey there Francesca, thanks!

  • top draw stuff mate just fanatasic and the fish is back your way my friend ;-)

    -Clint

  • Hey Clint, thanks my friend - I am very glad you like it.

  • Awesome song and sound, well done ! 5* A.D. :))

  • Thanks A.D. I appreciate the stars and nice words.

  • Good morning from the land of the midnight sun, i can hear u loud & clear here. excellent lyrics, & love the voice. dropped 5 crowns for my pleasure, tnx for sharing this to us 0:-.)*

    *M*

  • Good morning to you too M. And also thanks back at you. :-)

  • The Gang is on the run again . great work Bro 5/5 :o)

  • Thanks Dave - low4life :-)

  • good stuff man

  • Thanks bro.

  • i especially like the high guitar part and your raw voice of course,haha i had to comment twice.otherwise it wouldn't be symmetric!

  • Haha.. Perhaps, though, there is symmetry in oneness. Or a oneness of symmetry. In any case, I think there is a balance in the fact that your version inspired me to try adding in the dubbed guitar, thus adding symmetry to the entries. I think.

  • i inspired you,hows that possible?

    haha your version will inspire me to bro!

    btw,the word:Oneness-i like that one to for another song title maybe

  • Hey i really think you've done a great job man.

    im obsessed with symmetry to,lol.

    edited this to one of my fav's!!!!!

  • Hey Dave, thanks man and yeah.. we seem to have a lot of parallels.. It's way cool.

  • Really excellent job. Add a nice arrangement to it and you'll have a potential hit recording.Very good!!

  • Hey Ron, wow.. that's a high compliment - I thank you greatly.

  • Tons of soul man! awesome...5 starz!

  • Hey Dave, thanks man. I saw you have Marillion in your list (like me). Their song Incubus was sort of my guide for how I wanted this to turn out. I'm glad Joy hooked me up with your music.

  • steve rothery is such an awesome player...

    joy has hooked so many people up. i thank her as well...a real sweatheart!

  • I totally agree about Steve Rothery.. I really can't get into post Fish Marillion much (I've tried) but I still love the way he plays guitar. I met him once, he was a very down to earth cool guy and funny.

  • Not that I could ever come close to the vocals of Fish, lol.

  • YESSSS!! Another Isodig song! Goshh.. what a soulful performance! I know I'll never be disappointed when i come here! Awesome job man! Such conviction! I LOVED This!

    ♫ T☼M ♪

  • What a great compliment! Thanks Tom, I appreciate the thoughts man.

  • Excellent, just excellent!!

  • Thanks bro. I am glad you like it. :-)

  • Wow. This is absolutely awesome! I love what you did here, especially the pause in the last line of the verse... before you get to the 'chorus'....and the video itself is stunning. ***** ;)

  • Hey M. :-) I am glad you like it. I figured you might but you know how it is, you never know. The video is stunningly darker than it was before I uploaded, but maybe that's an improvement, lol...

  • Hay Hay Isodig! Another song to remember!!!! :D

  • Thanks Meg and Hay hay back to you. :-)

  • Great stuff. You're voice fits the dark lyrics perfectly. On a side note, you sound so much like Mark Lanegan, any chances of getting a Screaming Trees cover out of you?

  • Thanks a lot David. I don't actually know any Screaming Trees songs (I think). My quasi-inspiration on this was an old European band named Marillion. Any recommendations on songs from Screaming Trees?

  • There are so many good options. I would say "Nearly Lost You", "Dollar Bill", "Butterfly" or Shadow of the Season". I'll send you the 86 cents I have in loose change if you do "Dollar Bill". I think that all of these are accessible through YT.

  • Hehe.. oh, a chance to make money as a musician! Cool, thanks man... I will definitely check those songs out.

  • Ah... I actually do know Nearly Lost You.. and I dig that song. I think I would be a bit intimidated, that guys voice is awesome.

  • great job, love the guitar and video!!

  • Thanks Malvasio, I appreciate it man. I'm sure you know. :-)

  • very cool take on this awesome aleisha song, soulful delivery! Low4life ;o) *****

  • Thanks Strat... You know... I probably wouldn't have gone ahead and done it today without you bugging me, heh.. So thanks for that too.

  • Wow! I love it. Your voice (love the roughness on this one), the music, the video editing...all dynamite. :D Thanks!

  • That makes me very glad Aleisha. I wanted to actually do a more full version, but I am kind of clueless on how to do it. This is my first vid with overdubs, lol. Awesome lyrics, so thanks to you.

  • And thanks for saying Wow. Hehe.
