Hey buddy, that was excellent! Really a great song and I admire your lyrics (so important to have good lyrics imo). Now I want to follow more of the story so tell me which song came next in the series ok? *****

[Resonantforce]

Thanks Elliott, I really appreciate that!

The second in the series is "The Empty Chair". My aim was to post them in the order in which they were written.

Talk to you soon my friend!

~Rich

[zerobio]

Okay Rich, I'm off to watch "The Empty Chair" later tonight. Thanks! :)

[zerobio]

Very cool story...made for an excellent tune. I know you play guitar and keys do you also play the bass and drums? because it's an excellent mix....5*

[Resonantforce]

Hey Dennis! Thanks for the comment man, I really appreciate it!

Yes, I also play the bass, but the drums are programmed using my keyboard. I have a lot of respect for drummers and what they do!

Thanks again!

[elan01]

Wow! Now we non-song writers know how a song is born..and may i say a star is born! Well done Resonantforce ...peace and best wishes all the way from DownUnder.

[Resonantforce]

Thank you very much elan01 for your nice comment! Who needs a record deal when you can reach people on the other side of the world through the magic of youtube, very cool indeed!

(I guess a record deal would be nice too!! :0) )

Thanks again!

~Rich

[Resonantforce]

Thanks for the comment Taylor! I'm glad you liked it.

[tayloreh]

Wow! What a great story. Some nights I hope that things that awesome really happen... its so nice to really hear one. Coming across something like this once in a while (I'm ususally pretty compulsive on youtube, I'll just watch half of something sometimes), makes youtube worthwhile :)

And thanks for your enthusiasm for my page too. All the best, T.A(eh)

[Erphilfarry]

Your song is awesome.. and so the story behind it. I always wondered why inspiration appears so sudenly..

You sure got to keep guitar & sheet close of a pretty smile :))

Great job Rich, cheers!

Phil

[Resonantforce]

Thanks for the kind words Phil, I really appreciate it!

Yes, inspiration is a powerful thing that you have to yield to until it's satisfied. And in our case, that satisfaction comes in the form of songs. For me, there is no greater high than that!

Take care my friend!

~Rich

[maylett19]

Wow great! I'm not usually into this type of music, but my buddy Alex showed this to me and I think it's awesome! Great Job!

[aliciagrant]

Great story, beautiful song. I love an inspirational moment.  5*s

[Resonantforce]

Hey thanks Alicia!

[raeindigo]

very sweet. yeah!!!

[Resonantforce]

Cool! Thanks for taking the time to listen and comment, I really appreciate it Rae!

[glausterball]

yes! thats an awesome story Rich. im glad im not the only one who is susceptible to writing songs based on seemingly trivial moments. but thats what its about, right? simple, but it makes us smile. so we got to write about it, right? love the story, love the song. good to hear from you rich.

joey.

[Resonantforce]

Hey Joey! Good to hear from you as well. Yes, simple, and from the heart! We can never go wrong with that! Thanks for the comment my friend!

~Rich

[ItsDanBoy]

Very awesome story and song. Thanks again to Alex here for me finding this. I'm truly impressed - more youtube videos need to be mixed like this. I'm assuming you played all of the instruments in the backup track?

[Resonantforce]

Hey thanks for the great comment Dan! And thanks to Alex for sharing this with you.

Your assumption is correct regarding the backing track. The drums are the only part that I used my keyboard/controller to arrange the rhythm track.

[alexpaviamusic]

wow it's been a while! i was wondering where you were! the lyrics are sick and flow well together! i wish i could perform in vegas sometime....psh...lol

[Resonantforce]

Alex! How are you my friend? Thanks for the comment.

Hope all is well with you!
