[SashkaBlack]

Dear Karl, your music is so refreshing and innovative, that it's impossible not to enjoy it! Your incredible voice gives it a note of mistery which is hard to find in music nowadays.

[karlmahlmann]

@SashkaBlack Hi Sashka. I really appreciate your kind words and knowing that you enjoy the music. All the best to you, my friend - Karl

[TanteA]

Hallo Karl, I wanted to hear this song again. It is really great.

Nice greetings from Anette

[karlmahlmann]

@TanteA Thanks Anette. I'll tell you, this is a song I wrote and performed with my group many decades ago. We had some good gigs and were well-reviewed. So I've had it in my head all this time that I needed to find my groove again. And I'm glad i recorded this. But, you know, that was then and this is now. There is so much I never learned about music and the world has changed. I really enjoy discovering new things and experimenting now. Again, I really appreciate the nice comment - Karl

[mgturn99]

Your transitions and your keyboard/organ playing in this is amazing! Great vocals as well! So well put together! I got my girlfriend into your music too, her favorite is "Wait Outside". Keep up the great work!

-Anthony

[karlmahlmann]

[nessyvt]

Wow..very intricate, with lots of ebb and flow for sure...an entertaining listen!

[karlmahlmann]

@nessyvt thanks Vanessa, really glad you liked it.

[Sietesegundosgroup]

Master Karl, your work is beautiful and amazing. You know seamlessly blend various musical styles and give life to a single work, personal and extremely original. There are reminiscences of the great psychedelic bands of the early seventies, the magic of a wonderful classic organ sound with contemporary music. A masterpiece.

Congratulations!

Ruffo

[onthemoveagain]

A nice little journey.

[karlmahlmann]

@onthemoveagain Thanks my friend. Glad you enjoyed.

[TheResonatorGhost]

Karl,

I love it. You've written a great composition here, and I dig your treatment of it. You, sir, have chops.

ron

[karlmahlmann]

@TheResonatorGhost Thanks Ron. I've had this rattling around in my head for years - wasn't sure anyone would dig it - really appreciate your comment.

[SunnyDeLynn]

You are amazing. Thanks for sending this to me. I love it.

[karlmahlmann]

@SunnyDeLynn Thanks Sunny.  I kind of think you're pretty amazing too.

[SunnyDeLynn]

@SunnyDeLynn Well thank you. That means alot to me.

[JeremiahStarling]

Great and interesting stuff, man! Yet again, your music is an experience.

[karlmahlmann]

@JeremiahStarling Thanks Jeremiah -really appreciate the kind words.

[pseudosun]

ahh haaa. how bout that, a slow mo video. I like the 3:19 part where you turn your eyes at the camera, and then the 5:19 end where you almost look scared when hearing those spooky chords.

[karlmahlmann]

@pseudosun I can actually see you at 3:19 - like Sauron in lord of the rings. - just kidding - kind of.

[ThePatheticClub]

This is trippy and all that!

[karlmahlmann]

@ThePatheticClub Thanks my friend. What a long strange trip it's been.

[brucewbowser]

Very cool song Karl, your playing and vocals are pretty darn awesome here. Love the King Crimson, Yes, ELP, Peter Gabriel flavors in this. You freek'd me out a little at 3:18 when you looked at the camera, thought you were doing some kind of mind control with the thought bending music :-) Took me a few seconds to shake myself loose, ha ha!

Excellent work man !

[karlmahlmann]

@brucewbowser Thanks Bruce. Really like the superlatives : )  And those are the influences, alright. The song is actually 40 years old. We had a rockin band back in 1970 and played it pretty much as it sounds here - except for the pipe organ, of course. Thanks again.

[Sissiaraujo]

Very cool!!!

[karlmahlmann]

@Sissiaraujo Glad you liked it. Thanks for stopping by.

[onewomanandsomesongs]

Karl, absolutely fantastic, but then again, all your works are. The production on this is such a cut above.....I always love those lyrics of yours too. Just great work! :) Janet

[karlmahlmann]

@onewomanandsomesongs Thanks Janet. Really kind words. - and much appreciated. Like I say, I think the YT compression issue has improved in the last few weeks because my initial test post of this came out really distorted. But this actually isn't too bad. Thanks again, my friend.

[B1N4RYGH0ST]

I like it... keep up the good work Karl

[karlmahlmann]

@B1N4RYGH0ST Thanks my friend. Glad you enjoyed.

[frankieloveband]

Interesting song structure- Enjoyed the song- 5 stars - God Bless

[karlmahlmann]

@frankieloveband Thanks my friend. Thanks for the listen. God bless you as well.

[TanteA]

OMG! This is a terrific tune! I have just favorited and playlisted it. The combination of of the church organ and the drumset is phantastic. It reminds me on the best of the 70s. Very very good.

Very nice greetings from Anette

[karlmahlmann]

@TanteA Hi Anette. Your compliment is especially meaningful coming from a musician of your high caliber. I very much appreciate your kind encouragement. I always loved the progressive rock era and never understood how disco happened. And I always thought the pipe organ sound could be integrated with drums / rock music instrumentation. Again, I really appreciate your feedback. Take care, Karl

[rbheiss]

Karl, this is fantastic!!! Thumbs up and favorited my friend!

Take care,

Rolland

[karlmahlmann]

@rbheiss Thanks Rolland. Really appreciate the kind words. best regards, Karl

@drnorris56 Thanks , my friend for the listen.

[FreeNeverSaid]

hi thx for sharing

great job*****

d-_-b

[karlmahlmann]

@FreeNeverSaid Thanks my friend for the listen.

[CurtisMateer]

This sounds as though hours of work has gone into creating it Karl. It is mind boggling, as though rock and classical music has been combined in one trippy piece. It would be great live too. I can imagine hearing a crowd cheering at the end like on some live album...

[karlmahlmann]

@CurtisMateer Thanks Pete. Appreciate the feedback, You’ve done some innovative work yourself lately with ancient texts. It’s been a while but I really enjoyed playing this live I’d love to go on the road again someday, all I need are a few thousand fans .. in every town : )

[coolanddark]

Very creative original composition Karl!

[karlmahlmann]

@coolanddark Always appreciate your feedback. Thank you very much for the listen.

[cadwalladee]

Epic piece - a feast for the mind and ears! This is really amazingly well put together, Karl! GREAT! (It took me a while to notice that the "video" is actually moving!) The organ is something else!

[karlmahlmann]

@cadwalladee Thanks Scott. I really value your comments. You and I have both been using mostly single images, but this time i thought I'd try something fancy and actually have the image move, albeit slowly :)

[cogermax91]

bravo !your song is very good !

[karlmahlmann]

@cogermax91 Thank you so much my friend. - and I've always been a fan of popular music there in France..

[BeatnikManfred]

Hi Karl...what a wonderful song...Kudos!!!!!...as always..thumb up..

Best wishes..Manni

[karlmahlmann]

@BeatnikManfred Thanks Manni, always good to hear from you. Thanks for the kind words.

[rhopen]

Hi Karl, this is a very impressive song and recording, bringing to mine King Crimson and Yes from days gone by, but it is certainly not dated at all. I think this may be your very best effort so far, which is saying a lot due to the high quality of your other creations. My compliments on a great piece of work. -Ron

[karlmahlmann]

@rhopen Thanks Ron. I always appreciate your perspective. This was a number my band was playing 40 years ago in the heyday of progressive rock. – never really had a decent recording of it, until now. Thanks again for your thoughtful comment.

[BeautifulGirlByDana]
