My Sweet Muse - Original Song by RHopen

[CurtisMateer]

I still enjoy this and Not Embracing These Times as they are two of your most catchy songs. It's a funny ole world isn't it...

[cbrb40]

I love it very clever songwriting writing to a muse like that. lol I dig that! :)) We all get that problem right? Cool great old time rocker feel like pure 60's,I love the music the great drum beat, Your guitars are excellent as well as your bass playing. You remind me a lot of McCartney in his recent years the look,the songs and the way you can play all the instruments so great. Love your melodic pleasant vocals too. Ron my bro you really are a fabulous artistic talent with rare gifts. :)))

[carolsmusic2]

Hi Ron! I like the beat to this song alot! Congratulations to your songs that you're writing....I think I am becoming a fan. :) Really like this! Lynn :)

[McPanchi]

you´re right, your songs are ORIGINALS. The solo it´s exelent.

[CurtisMateer]

One person's limitations is another's aspirations...the sky's the limit with this one...a You Tube single of sorts Ron, one I'll return to again no doubt.

[joh4072]

VERY GODD

[FrankRMusic]

Great song Ron, you have the right feel for those tunes. Very good!!!

Frank

[keonepax]

No writer's block problem here! Great song... sort of has a late 60's, early 70's feel to me. I like it!

[cogermax91]

[musicfamily]

Awesome, especially you did all parts on your own!

[Libelle1963]

Das ist so süß! Danke, Ron!

Ich liebe es!

[talesandtunes]

Hi Ron, you're alone a whole band. And again one can see, where your roots are. This could be written by Ron Haselden or the famous John&Paul songwriters. It is fun to hear you great sounding. It's always a pleasure to hear your postings.

All the best from germany

Michael

[MartinRaetzJr]

A great song Ron! The guitar parts are perfectly. I did really enjoy it. Martin

Anette

[rhopen]

@TanteA Thanks again Anette. -Ron

[dholeton]

Well done Ron

Sometimes just chasing the muse presents great results.

Dave

[rhopen]

@dholeton Hi Dave, thanks very much and yes the chase is what makes it interesting. I just wish she'd slow down a bit nowadays haha. -Ron

[BluegrassForte]

All thumbs up!  Enjoyed the music and the smile and bow at the end too!

[rhopen]

[BoeckmannLudwig]

Bernd

[rhopen]

@BoeckmannLudwig Thank you Brend. Sorry for the late reply but I've been tied up with work the past couple of weeks. Greetings to you from USA. -Ron

[trevorm1]

This is very Beatlesque. I love it. Quite poppy and really show's your versatility.

Bravo!

[rhopen]

@trevorm1 Hi Trevor, and thanks very much. -Ron

[trevorm1]

@rhopen No problem. I liked what you did so much I tried to do it myself. With my own stuff. I love to hear what you had to say about it. Constructive criticism is the only way to get better. It's that old tune All Along the Watchtower.

[MrECLECTICIAN]

like I said on the last version..I love it... can relate to the subject...and my favorite part is that driving beat of "Send me something like a sweet dream..." YES!

[rhopen]

@MrECLECTICIAN Much thanks, I appreciate you stopping by. -Ron

[IamHelenKeller]

Hi Ron,

Nice work....as usual, my friend.

5***** : ))

@IamHelenKeller Hi Helen. Thank you very much for you kind comment. -Ron

[fngrpkn06]

I like your song. Has a little surf 60's thing goin on with a modern techno back drop.

[rhopen]

@fngrpkn06 Thank you Randy. -Ron

[chuxtrux]

Oh You Kid! what a treat. this sounds really good under the head phones. this works on every level, writing, performance, production. really one of your best. peace and love, chuck.

[rhopen]

@nllleonard Hi Nancy, and thank you very much. Sorry for the late response, been working in da coal mine :o) -Ron

[geetarxist]

good

[Oswlek]

Drums are definitely more prominant this time around. Where did you get them?

[Johnfern99]

Sounds great, Ron!

[rhopen]

@Johnfern99 Hi John, and thanks a lot for stopping by. -Ron

[CousinSusie]

What a great song this is Ron!! Wow I never thought of that but I guess there are times when you get into a slump called writers block!! Ohhh I can give you lots of material if I told you some stories! ; ) Great song Ron and great vocals and guitar playing!!

Ditto,

Susie

[rhopen]

@CousinSusie Hi Susie, sorry for the delay in replying but I have been tied up with work a lot lately. Thank you very much for your kind comment, and you should put some of your stories on a vid sometimes. People will love to hear them. -Ron

[scratchingcat]

She has definitely not turned away from you.

[lovegermanshepherds]

Wonderful!

[rhopen]

@lovegermanshepherds Hi and thank you very much. -Ron

[rhopen]

@lovegermanshepherds Hi Ute, thank you very much for your kind comment. -Ron

[TanteA]

Hi Ron, first I thought my headphones would be kaputt.... But now it sounds double good. I already told you have cool this song is, but I will do it again now. Hehe... you thought your Muse would leave you, but she must have kissed you secretly. Because you wrote a hit again. Just great.

Your German friend, - Anette

[rhopen]

@TanteA Hi Anette, Yes I don't really know what happened to the right channel but ok it is fixed :o) Thank you for your very kind comment and I hear you might have a new instrument for people to hear soon? :0) Greetings to you from your USA friend and fan. -Ron

[1catbob]

A marvelous production from you, Ron. The multi-track mix is put together very, very well and, yes, I listened through my cans :-) The video production has it's own "wow" factor, too ( except for the ad that pops up :) ). Putting the technical quality aside, I think your song is just great. You are a very talented and skillful musician. Thanks for sharing. ~cb

[rhopen]

@1catbob Hi Bob, and I am sorry for such a late response but I've been tied up at work for a while. I'm also sorry about the ad pop ups haha...they are an evil thing I know but I must allow them.... for now anyway. Thanks for for you great comments, I always appreciate them. I hope you are doing well and I'll talk with you again soon. -Ron

[sinawava42]

Great song. I love the double lead.

[rhopen]

@sinawava42 Thanks Bill, I appreciate it. -Ron

[wooddragon45]

Excellent composition and professional sounding recording...well played and performed...

5/5* Fav

[shandy3791]

Hi Ron, your originals are definitely fantastic! I always enjoyed my listen... Two thumbs up for this >o<

[rhopen]

@shandy3791 Hi Yvonne, I am sorry I am so late it responding back but I have been tied up with my job for a bit. Thank you for you nice comments, I appreciate them very much. Greetings to you from USA. -Ron

[karlmahlmann]

I really can into this one, Ron (glad you fixed the right channel). I hear a lot of early Beatles but also elements of modern rock combined with some very smart lyrics. Really cool to see your creative efforts just keep expanding. All the best, Karl

[rhopen]

@karlmahlmann Hi Karl, sorry for the late reply. I've been out of town for over a week, but its good to be back now and it was treat o your your new song. Thanks for stopping by on this one. -Ron

[canajian]

NICE tune Ron!!

[rhopen]

@canajian Hi Gerry, much thanks to you my friend. -Ron

[ImOfTheWoods]

Ah, there it is! Even better! This is a really upbeat song with a wonderful melody. Very professional sound you've got here, Ron! 8o)

[rhopen]

@ImOfTheWoods Hi Sylvia, I'm just back from a long business trip, sorry for the delayed response. Thanks very much for stopping by. I loved your rendition of George Hamilton IV. -Ron

[ClaudioAlessandri]

Great song and perfect sounds now!

[rhopen]

@ClaudioAlessandri Hi Claudio, thanks you very much. Greetings to you from USA. -Ron

[Roselyne18]

Hello Ron, thank you very much for the sharing of your beautiful song,... the sound is better in this second video, congratulations :)

My best friendships and greettings from France, Rosy

[rhopen]

Roselyne18 Thank you very much Rosy, and sorry for such a later response. Greetings to you from USA. -Ron

[CurtisMateer]

A very Beatley bow at the end, fittingly Ron. I like the 2 chords you play straight after the major 7th. I might've lingered on that maj7 a while but where you went took me by surprise and was the less obvious and therefore better way to play it. And you do play each hand you are dealt (or dealing) very well of course.

[rhopen]

@CurtisMateer Hi Pete, sorry for such a late reply but I've been out of town for over a week now, but I'm glad to be back with the YT folks again. I wrote the basic chord formation for this song when I was a teenager, with really bad lyrics which is best left to obsurity. It's good when you can resurrect something useful from something that was otherwise bad. I hope you are well. Talk again soon. -Ron

[FrankRMusic]

Ron, what a great Beatlish song, very catchy chorus. Also modern style, simply a nice mix of the styles. And again, the solo sound is a bit of Nowhere Man, I like this new song you wrote.

See you

[rhopen]

@FrankRMusic Hi Frank, thanks for stopping by for this one and I agree it has a Beatle-ish tone to it. I have always guitars playing in harmony with each other, and for someone like myself who can't really solo it is a good way to fill up the space haha. Thanks a lot. -Ron

[WolfgangRaetz]

complete and ready to become the summer-hit of 2011!

[rhopen]

@WolfgangRaetz Hi Wolfgang, much thanks to you. -Ron

[Ottawarocket]

I can really identify with this song : ) Great song Ron

Rocket

[rhopen]

@Ottawarocket Hi Rob, greetings to you way up North and thanks a bunch for stopping in. -Ron

[onewomanandsomesongs]

or 'our' muse? :)

[GibsonAndVega]

Yeah, ditto the great sounds. I like when you're in your jazzy groove. Kind of Steely Dan-ish.

[rhopen]

@GibsonAndVega Hello Les, you know I didn't really think of Steely Dan until you mentioned them and I do hear that in the guitar break. I loved their music so I guess the influence sneaked in there. Thanks for stopping by. -Ron

[onewomanandsomesongs]

Love this song, Ron!  I can so identify with the lyrics too. Guess we all hit those dry spells sometimes. The good thing is that when lour muse finally does surface, some of our best tunes may come along! Like this tune for instance. I enjoyed the listen! :) Janet

[rhopen]

@onewomanandsomesongs Hi Janet, I picked up my old Squire strat for this one. You made me want to use it again after I heard yours a while back :o) I hope you are doing good. -Ron

[jugnutgut]

excellent Ron, I read the meaning as a person who was a muse and inspiration instead of writer's block, but they can be one and the same :) no block for you my friend, great job

[rhopen]

@jugnutgut Thanks Rob, The muse, or a muse, can be anything that inspires you. You always know when it's not there and the empty page just stares back at you :o) Thanks for stopping by. -Ron

[UncleQuinn]

I got a deal for you, Ron. Fire up the grill and invite me over.

[patgmoran]

Outstanding Ron...the different guitar sounds with the two different six strings and the bass.....so very original and yet quite poppy....you took a problem we all face and capitalized on it....excellent. Love the bow...one would think you were a Beatle...

[rhopen]

@patgmoran Hi Pat, yea I did do the Beatle bow there. I always loved when they did that. Thanks for stopping in and I really enjoyed your latest a lot. -Ron

[TUCKERZONE]

Oh I see what you meant Yes This is Still an Awesome Song Ron Thumbs Up my Friend!!!!

[rhopen]

@TUCKERZONE Thanks Nidge, I appreciate you taking time for this one. -Ron
