I'm impressed! Sounds kind of like a mix between Smiths, XTC, and Radiohead...all good bands to sound like. I wish I could find musicians like you in my town, that's the kind of music I wanna play!
I seriously could listen to this song all day long. It's so unusual, but in a really, really great and cool way. The music is fantastic, and I love the vocals, as well. I think this is my favorite song of yours so far.
Man, you are an excellent musician and songwriter! Your music just blew my mind!!! You definitely have a new fan here in Chicago, Illinois. Keep it up, you will not be unsigned for long.
Apologies to 'gasopdielolly', I accidentally deleted your message: "i think pete murray stole your song with 'pick me up'....sew him" - I don't think he did. Doesn't sound similar to me, just roughly the same speed.
cheers mate, well done. Just a small question for ya. How can you afford that gear of yours! It's bloody unbelievable, you got all guitars I can only see in my dreams, have to say though that I'm only 18 and doesn't earn any money. But you have to be rich or something mate! it's so nice.
By the time the second chorus came around, I felt like I'd known this song for years already. Ridiculously impressive...I can't believe you're unsigned. Big fan.
I love the bass sound on this song. Looking for someone who can count to infinity? What a great line. I'm digging it. Nice job, Daniel. Cheers from Cleveland, OH.
If I could cover any of your songs this would have to be it. Love it to bits now all I need to do is develop that crazy musical ear you have Dan and I will be on my way hah.
It actually is a 1992 guitar, spooky. Bought it last year already configured this way. On this track I think I was using a Nomad Factory plugin to emulate a tube amp, just playing with the settings until it sounded good and rough. All put together in Pro Tools on a Mac with the ProjectMix I/O desk. Thanks very much for the comments here and on other videos.
If anyone who ever went on or attempted to go on the X-Factor/Pop Idol (or any show of that artificial crap) watched any of Daniels videos they would never again have the confidence to put themselves forward as musical talent.
This is musical talent. Shame I have to search the undergraound areas to find this stuff. Excellent work Dan lad.
Hey there mate,great song, really great smithsy guitar,so dark and emotional,check out our myspace, we are heavily influenced by the smiths, especially johnny marr,we are just finishing our first album ,we will be doing a few gigs in the coming future,I really respect your work,
i love the song and think instrumentally it's beautiful and i like the lyrics but i think for this type of music especially u might want to get a singer but that's just my opinion other than that it's wonderful
this is my favorite song yet, i loved the ric bass for some reason. great sound. i love how talented you are with every instrument, including your voice. keep up the good work, the world needs more songs like this one.
Thank you for these comments, glad you like it. It's ironic people hear it as Johnny-ish when I thought the original riff sounded more like the Durutti Column. The end result has some George Harrison '65 in it also - can't help that when you're playing a Gretsch. And the Ric bass gives it a very early REM sound. NB. Ferrell I am not technically a time traveller, I just have a hairstyle from the past.
Great song born from a great marresque influenced riff you posted a while back.You really should be putting a band together and get out there gigging cause you got real talent there.
This is my first post on one of your videos, as a guitarist and a smiths fan i love your work and your Rickenbackers. You sound to me like a mix of Johnny Marr and Graham Coxon.
Seeing as how I am the first to watch and comment, I'll start with a few surerlatives. Absolutelty brilliant. Fantastic in every way. Why aren't you famous ????
good stuff I am off to get the free download, check out my mates music you might like it..
