Party's Over

[baltik007kitty]

Great, so special! Listening to this I regret that on MTV you never see music like this,

only prototypes. You are so individual, and your music makes people thinking...

lov it

[baltik007kitty]

Wonderful music, here in your channel, I sub. :-D

bravo

[RonIrelandmusic]

I know a young songwriter from Oswego, NY. He's a very bright and passionate man. He once asked another musician a question that stuck with me: "Dude, why aren't you famous?" Karl, I'm asking. In a world that truly valued creativity and originality, you would be playing at Albert Hall.

[marycigarettes]

aha....actual talent

[RIchardEPfeifer]

LOL...dig it!

[netguider]

I don't know where to begin...first...I think I'd better sit back and digest what I just saw... this was so creative...and such an interesting video... I don't think I could ever do it justice in describing it. FANTASTIC.. . AWESOME... INCREDIBLE... all the accolades apply here...

The green screen work was outstanding... thinking all of this up...writing...singing...produ­cing...and the keyboard playing....leaves me speechless. Let's just say... It just couldn't get any better!

Randy

[Jaymel77]

there is so much good in this I'm not even sure what to say! You good sir left my mind blown!!

Jay

[MrsCatification]

Wow, this is a amazing tune! I havn´t been listening to this one before. I love that theatrical approach to the music. It creates a lot of pictures in my head. Superb performance, Karl. Great keyboard!!!!

Viveca

[karlmahlmann]

@MrsCatification Thanks Viveca. A very uplifting comment -much appreciated. and I'm really glad you enjoyed this. All the best to you my friend, Karl

[cluelocker]

karl, you will no doubt be a huge hit at the coffee tree with this live :)

[karlmahlmann]

@cluelocker Hey Larry, thanks. It was very cool to see that gathering of songwriters / performers. Seems like everyone there was very laid-back and friendly. Some really fine music -and you're a terrific performer. I need to bring my wife next time; she'd love it. I'm not sure Part's Over is a good choice for a live performance – needs too many dryers and refrigerators :-) but I'll think of something. All the best, my friend Karl.

[paxukulele]

Your songs and music are unique and wonderful! Love the video production, too!

[karlmahlmann]

@paxukulele Hey John, Thanks for the kind words. I really love your music also. All the best best from the US to Japan. - Karl

[PatrickGMoran]

This was amazing....you play the keyboard like a clairvoyant....the creative thought that are the lyrics are mind blowing....set to a new age jazz genre....now let's talk about video....either you do this for a living or you have been schooled by professionals...rather amazing and I am in awe of your expertise and talent. So very well put together....crazy good Karl..crazy good...

[karlmahlmann]

@PatrickGMoran Hey Thanks Pat. Appreciate the kind words. This was my 1st shot at trying to create a complex visual to go with the music. I have to admit It was a ton of fun playing with the green-screen and all. I'll probably do some more like this sometime.  I guess I've lost any sense of myself as a music purist :-) Anyway, thanks again, really, for such a thoughtful comment, Karl

[ThePatheticClub]

Very good tune sir!

[karlmahlmann]

@ThePatheticClub Thanks Jason. really glad you liked it. - Karl

[perapera60]

Very nice!!! (and different)

[karlmahlmann]

@perapera60 Thanks, my friend, for the nice feedback.

[goreedy]

It's not that easy to come up with something different and it's very hard to come up with something different that is also good. You have achieved this with flying colours Karl. You should be proud. Simon.

[karlmahlmann]

@goreedy Hey Simon. Thanks for the kind words -really glad you liked this. All the best, Karl

[mussie302]

This is excellent Karl, from the originality to the musicianship, to the vocals, the video production.. 1st class! I'm a big fan of Beefheart, Bonzo Dog, a bit of Tom Waits and a bit of Zappa, and there are elements of all somewhere in this number. Great stuff, well done :)

John

[karlmahlmann]

@mussie302 Hey John, thanks for the kind words. Really appreciate your perspective and feedback. I've been enjoying your channel also, a nice mix of good music and amazing robotics- very cool. All the best, Karl.

cheers

[karlmahlmann]

@JerimiahBullfrog1 Thanks, my friend, for the kind words. Have a great weekend, Karl.

[waverleywaters]

Dear Karl,

This poem speaks of somthing strange happening....:) The pictures are rather unusual and the music accompanying the lines is in perfect tune with the situation. A strange combination of Cohen's "Dance me to the end of love" and Eliot' "Cocktail Party." Maybe you could try your hand at some of T.S Eliot's poetry.

I like your original very much. Thank you for sharing. :)

Regards,

Dimple.

[karlmahlmann]

@waverleywaters Hey Dimple, Thanks for the kind words and thoughtful comment. All the best, Karl

[sixstrings2650]

Karl this is a masterpiece,musically and visually.

[karlmahlmann]

@sixstrings2650 Hey Joe, Thanks for the kind words. All the best, Karl

[Maysey1]

For some reason I feel my song Ward B fits here very well as a video response, hope you don't mind. This is very good!

[karlmahlmann]

@Maysey1 Hey Mark. I love that song. Fits nicely.

[PatrickGMoran]

A creative masterpiece that is like no other. Captivating and amazing. Almost like going to a musical matinee. I really loved this. thank you Karl.

[karlmahlmann]

@PatrickGMoran Hey Pat. Thanks for the wonderful comment. And I just heard your latest, Running Behind - beautiful, my friend. Take care, Karl

[karlmahlmann]

@CharmedQuarkZ99 Thanks Richard. So I'm thinking "What could be more appealing than 60's chicks groovin around some refrigerators?" I couldn't think of anything to top that. So voila, there they are :-). Take care, Karl

[BeatnikManfred]

Hi Karl.....this really magnificent..yes indeed ,really magnificent...Kudos!!!!!!great achievement...Best wishes...Manni

[karlmahlmann]

@BeatnikManfred Thanks Manni, I'm really glad you enjoyed. Very best regards, Karl

[TanteA]

Hallo Karl, I am totally impressed by this one... oh my goodness, it is so good. Musically interesting like always, but the vid... it is really artful. I love it very much how you perform your song, in fact you seem more like an actor on a stage than a singer...

My full respect, - Anette

[karlmahlmann]

@TanteA Hey Anette. Thanks for this nice comment and I am so glad you liked the vid. It was actually a lot of fun to make, although a bit time consuming Very best regards to you and Deutschland, Karl

[SpellCasterOne]

Hey I really loved this piece, very colorful.

[karlmahlmann]

@SpellCasterOne Hey, Thanks Greg. I appreciate the comment. - Karl

[OsvaldoPaese]

sounds great. i love the interplay between all the instruments.

"The planarian worm, he's got no eyes

But he can feel it in his soul" Can't think of too many songs with those kinds of lyrics. ha

[karlmahlmann]

@OsvaldoPaese Thanks Osvaldo - I appreciate the listen and nice comment. And yes, I think planarian worms are under-represented in song lyrics today :-)

Take care, Karl

[PhilDeeferSite]

Karl! A great bom!! Your own style is unique! This theatralic wonderful

songs are something really extra! A real storyteller!

Hands up, all thumbs up, my friend.

The organ is so bloody Great! Sounds a bit of Ken Hensley!

Thanks for sharing this amazing great song!!

Best

Michael

[karlmahlmann]

@PhilDeeferSite Hey Michael. I really appreciate this kind comment. - and thanks for complementing my keyboard chops - I'm workin on them. Very best, Karl

[christoff555]

Hi Karl, this is truly very interesting. I really enjoyed listening to you!

[karlmahlmann]

@christoff555 Hey Chris, Thanks for the nice feedback. Take care, Karl

[Sissiaraujo]

Great performance, very nice style!!!

[karlmahlmann]

@Sissiaraujo thanks Sissi I really appreciate the comment.

[onelastbreath7777777]

Awesome Karl ....very well performed...like something from a off beat movie :)

[karlmahlmann]

@onelastbreath7777777 Hey thanks Duane.  My life is an off beat movie :-). Take care, Karl

[chuxtrux]

Hi Karl, i think this might be your best original yet. i like that you use spoken word for the first half or more, then when you introduce the vocal it is a welcome change up of style. you also have several good lyric lines "it's time to go nowhere" for example. as always your keyboard break is interesting and satisfying and your visual production values are very good. very nicely done on every level. and the beat goes on, chuck.

[karlmahlmann]

@chuxtrux Hey Chuck This is great feedback. A lot of these things you mention, I was wondering how others would perceive, so I really appreciate your insight. -And really am glad you liked it. Very best, Karl

[SunnyDeLynn]

WOW:)) This is really good and very original. You have a very original sound!!

I love it.

[karlmahlmann]

@SunnyDeLynn Thanks Sunny. I really enjoy your music too. You have a beautiful voice. Karl

[Leodorus]

Wow, this is really amazing!!

Great song and wonderful video!

You did a great job Karl!

Thanks for posting this masterpiece!

[karlmahlmann]

@Leodorus Hey Leo. Thanks for the nice complement. I really appreciate it. very best, Karl

[teteroom]

Great job my friend! Thanks for sharing!

[karlmahlmann]

@teteroom thanks Tete. I appreciate the listen.  Karl

[experimentalrock]

Well done on the "spoken word" man! Well performed and conception mate! Great video edit! Excellent work!

[karlmahlmann]

@experimentalrock Thanks my friend, You have a very cool workshop out there in Hawaii. I really enjoy the music that transpires Very best, Karl

[namnoiz]

Thanks for sharing. Thumbs up ^^

[karlmahlmann]

@namnoiz Thanks John. I appreciate it.

[rbheiss]

Karl, you have given me yet another adventure into the refreshing and soul satisfying sound that is yours alone, untainted by rampant commercialism. In the midst of predominantly rubber stamped music you have managed to keep your individuality without attempting to sell out. By remaining steadfast you open up new worlds to this listener.

Thank you for the journey my friend... EXCELLENT!

Rolland

[karlmahlmann]

@rbheiss Hey Rolland, I really appreciate that. It's really easy not to imitate the commercial garbage when you hate it as much as I do. Maybe it's just because it's all directed at 13 year olds, maybe that's why I can't relate to it. I'd like to see the time come when all music is indie music; we'll see.. Thanks again for this great comment. Karl

[paolitas7]

wow!!!!!! this video is really amazing, you are very inteligent, awesome music, this is gold, Gold Stars for this excellent performance!!************

[karlmahlmann]

@paolitas7 Hey Paola, That's a very nice compliment. Thanks much, Karl

[CurtisMateer]

Very well made Karl - you obviously waited until you could make a high quality video/had time to make one, before doing this and it's really clever and a pleasure to watch too. Great elaboration on your theme.

[karlmahlmann]

@CurtisMateer Hey Pete. Thanks much. Yeah, I'm trying to get smart on video-making - as opposed to just making music. It's new territory for me, but it really is a lot of fun. Very best, Karl.

[Maysey1]

Hi Karl, this is very very creative and right up my alley of things I enjoy. The video was very cool as well dig those folks dancing around the appliances. A pleasure meeting you. Thanks for sending it my way. Mark

[karlmahlmann]

@Maysey1 Hey Mark, I've been enjoying your work as well. Yeah, I thought I could put those appliance dancers to good use. They were so elegant. I bet they made the drudgery of housework in the 50's seem like being a princess at a royal ball. Take care, Karl

[rhopen]

HI Karl,

This is fantastic! This shows your considerable talent in a whole new light now... musically and my goodness what a great video. Your best effort thus far Karl, great. -Ron

[karlmahlmann]

@rhopen Thanks Ron. I really value your feedback -and also thanks for sharing the video. - Greatly appreciated and I think I've found some new friends and discovered some new music. Take care, Karl

JC Singing Fingers

[karlmahlmann]

@jac151956 Hey James. Thanks for the nice feedback. I'm just recently getting into the visual production side of music. The video was a lot of fun to make and I'm really glad you liked it. -Karl

[onewomanandsomesongs]

How cool is this, Karl! Love your delivery here! This is so universal. All of us fall short of what's expected of us sometimes, but we still keep trying. Some great playing there too, excellent work, man! :) Faved this one. Janet

[karlmahlmann]

@onewomanandsomesongs Hey Janet. So true. We all just keep on keeping on; that's all we can do. Thanks for the kind words. Karl

[brucewbowser]

Karl... dude ! !

This is really good !

You are an original talent my friend, the keyboard work is exceptional. Love the way the song builds to a very cool ending !

The video is very clever too, I might add... More please !

[karlmahlmann]

@brucewbowser Hey Bruce. Thanks, my friend. And I'm glad you could dig the keyboard playing -your standards are pretty darn high. Take care, Karl 

[ljped]

Wonderfully produced video! Your lyrics are superb and I love the jazzy keybord part.

Well done Karl.

[karlmahlmann]

@ljped Hi Jack. Thanks for the kind words. Really glad you liked it. Best regards, Karl.

[cadwalladee]

Wow, Karl! FANTASTIC!!! (if I could make the letters bigger, i would.) I am really into your ouvre... and this is really sweet! The video is perfect. (Planarian worm... that's me!)

[karlmahlmann]

@cadwalladee Hey Scott. Thanks. I just figured there weren't enough songs about the Planarian worm. I found some real good planarian footage I thought I might use. I wrote the science video place and they told me $1,200 but since you're a starving musician, we'll let it go for $600. So I opted for some refrigerator artwork. Thank goodness I married an artist. Take care, Karl
