INCREDIBLE! Absolutely terrific! And so intricate. You are not only talented, but you're a poet. :) Your love for the music shines magnificently through. Marry me. <3
@discrepancy09 If you're going to be bold enough to add real lyrics to Pogo material--which most believe should be untouched (in terms of lyrics, at least)--then it's gotta be original, unique, and most importantly, VERY VERY GOOD.
@discrepancy09 DUUUDE!!! Your rapping is friggin' BOMB!! Daaaaang you good, man! I'd think about perfecting the part where you sing the melody along with her, and at the very beginning, re-do the effect where you have multiple tracks of you rapping. Other than that, I'd TOTALLY BUY THIS!! I love the mellow vibe and cool lyrics. Your voice is perfect for rap.
@gorillazhead I thought that's what you were thinking. If you would take another look at my comment, I was replying to someone. They posted an mp3 of them rapping to Pogo's "Alice." I was just complimenting them so the aspiring artist has some motivation! They honestly are a pretty good rapper.
Talent like this, and yet the Justin Beibers of this world get the recording contracts (and the undeserved adulation). There is no justice in this world.
Alvin I just have to say you and Nick, are my life. I listen to you all the time, whenver possible! Thank you for your contribution to my everyday life, and I hope you go on to make your own music, and POGO covers in the future, you have true amazing musical talent. :)
@jako023 - Thank you Jako! I am definitely working on more music at the moment, both my own stuff, as well as Pogo covers. Bangarang will be the next cover I release. Not sure exactly when I'll be able to get it out, but progress is well underway :)
Hi Alvin, i just discovered pogo mixes 1 hour ago and immediately fell in love ...somhow got to you and i was amazed again...you add another level of beauty to these mixes, your mix is amazing and also the video editing in HD.
Crud, I missed when this first came out! Serves me right for not subbing.
Consider yourself subbed. You have, like, outrageous talent and all of my respect points today!! The piano just gave me intense chills all over...Oh man I can't wait to start my day after this. <3 Thanks!
I have chills and completely relate to the people who have commented about "inner being" and happiness being addressed by this song. I am so impressed. Live shows - where are these at ?
This is so incredibly amazing. I am a pretty avid listener of pogo and have been for several years now. I really enjoy this cover a lot. This song represents a link between the construction of life's songs, and songs created by instruments and the minds of people. This is really cool. Absolutely stunning. I downloaded it right away. New favorite song.
@insanewondurland - Wow, thanks so much for the kind words! I appreciate it :-). As for your comment re: live shows, I think I have to make more music (and non-covers! haha) before I can pull off a live show. Speaking of which, going to see Pogo in San Francisco on the 11th. Pretty pumped up for that :D
@AlvinPing Ah! too bad I won't be able to meet up with you there; I am planning on going to the LA one since I am from san diego! Yes, work on your own stuff and start doing live performances. Your dedication is amazing. You really did well to recreate the spirit of pogo. I showed it to friends on facebook, and they wrote back to me that it was what would be playing when they went to their happy place lol. I listened to it on the way to class today. Cover upular? :) Thanks for the reply!
@AlvinPing I am seeing pogo saturday in Lol Angeles. Bummer that I won't have the opportunity to meet you. I listen to this song every day, made it my ringtone, show it to everyone. You've done such a good job with it, it's incredible. Make more music! There's definitely something special here. If you're going to do another remix of pogo's work, I vote upular!
The guitar doing the voice segments is perfect. Everything sounds just as good as your other cover. This one seems to be part remix of the original. Pretty awesome!
@jeesh123 - Thanks Josh! The NanoKey is alright. I use it mainly to trigger a drum VSTi (granted, I really should be using the Pad for that, but hey, this gets the job done :P). The touch/velocity sensitivity is surprisingly good, but since the key travel is so small it's hard to get it to sound exactly how you want. I've heard a lot of people having build quality issues with it as well, but so far I haven't broken mine (yet! *knock on wood*).
@AFGiant - Thanks man! Yeah Pogo asked me to send this as a video response to his original Wishery remix, which was an honor-- unfortunately, something glitched out in the land of YouTube and it never went through :(
of the many things, I enjoy the full focus on the instruments and not the perform and the lightness and brightness.... and also the clean sounds, always sharp and not pushing away other sounds... great balance of low, mid & hi. =)
I am thoroughly impressed! Nice cover bro and especially at the ending part!
