[TheycallhimHafer]

Sing about candies!

yeah, something happy and silly...

I'd love to see that :P

[einAstronaut]

@kartiv2 awww that's really... sweet! ;-) maybe we should do that together?! let me know!

[ClassicAntiZero]

I think you should sing about mankinds ever lasting pursuit and courting of Truth, and its elusive nature.

[rejectofsoul24]

I think you should try more with strings or longer notes.

[trentonfawcettmusic]

Blues!

[ChikenNuggetSoup]

Sing about the truth.

Make it a rock song.

Reach out to it.

:D

[scorpianguitar]

Sing about ... music

[beastjr666]

I appreciate your music so fucking much. You sort of inspired me and my friends to write our own music and I can't thank you enough

[marszgee]

ok.. hi again. i found myself repeating this song... i love this song. XD

[einAstronaut]

@marszgee awww thanks!

[FrankThePidgeon]

GET AN EIGENHARP!

[KutasusWielgus]

plz write something about the universe!!!universe!universe universe!

[einAstronaut]

@KutasusWielgus done ;-)

[KutasusWielgus]

@einAstronaut ohh god!thank you,you are just a genius!

[marszgee]

Beautiful. Really.

I love it so much.

You should write about a nostalgic place. Or... not.

But i like Xylophone or anything sounds like that.

And i like the sound that ondes martenot made.

[einAstronaut]

@marszgee oh yes the martenot... whish i could find one of these somewhere... they're soooo rare.

[officialravenzoe]

Gorgeous video.

[SmootheTank]

You should pick up a Ukulele sometime, they're really fun :)

[einAstronaut]

@SmootheTank you're right. i will.

[SmootheTank]

@einAstronaut Really?? :DDDD

I'd love to see it in a new song!

[rikuxion123]

make a song of pink fluffy unicorns dancing on rainbows :3

[einAstronaut]

@rikuxion123 yeah never heard of that one before ;-)

[spacerpg]

Write a song about anger. You're always really mellow, and I'd like to see a different side of you :P

[einAstronaut]

@spacerpg tried.... sort of ;-)

[TheHybiscusJournals]

Nicely done, Eike. I always enjoy a good song about heartbreak. I'm also a sucker for the use of vintage keybaords (mellotron, rhodes, etc.)

[einAstronaut]

@TheHybiscusJournals thanks, i know, dude ;-)

[nichiryas]

weird instrument? your CAT! :)

but not by abusing her to make the sound out.

[einAstronaut]

@nichiryas yeah i've been thinking about that already, too! thanks! gonna happen sometime!

[fleebness]

Well, if you want a suggestion (and you like something odd):

Using a theremin and kazoo, perform a 5/4 metered song about unrequited love.

[einAstronaut]

@fleebness aww i'd love to have a theremin

[fleebness]

@einAstronaut Awww... I wish you had a theremin. They're fun to play, if a tad difficult.

[feeblemunchies]

This is awesome eike, You even used the toy piano! I just loved it. the rhythm, (I guess thats your awesome monome skills) and everything else. way cool

[einAstronaut]

@feeblemunchies thank you!

[BrighamHB]

Write a song about the life of a tree squirrel who faces an existentialist crisis while looking for food in the dumpsters of a New York City alleyway, and resolves to find his true identity by traveling the world, which he does by jumping in the cargo bay of a plane heading for Europe with his friend the ice-cream truck driver. You should play it on banjo, trumpet, kalimba, with the percussion done by baseball bats (or any large stick) hitting household appliances.

[einAstronaut]

@BrighamHB heh thank you! that's a sweet story!

[webspid]

Hi, great video man.

You should write a song about important people in your life drifting away. And all the powerful memories you share start fading away to a more and more tiny place in your mind.

[einAstronaut]

@webspid thanks so much... but i already have done that!

[notagerbil]

leaf blower?

[einAstronaut]

@notagerbil aww yeah thanks!

[PartYetiMusic]

Really enjoyed this. Are you planning any more big collaborations soon? I'd love to be involved.

[einAstronaut]

@PartYetiMusic still have to finish one. and then... yes I think so!

[Pittsisamazing]

This reminds me of radiohead. I like it.

[ImJustSlime]

Banjo! Sing about drugs

[amozoness6]

Subdued organ, glassware, and... sousaphone... yeah! (I'm kind of serious, ein.. xD)

[andymarkantonatos]

is that your son? anyway really beautiful song

[einAstronaut]

@andymarkantonatos yes, thanks very much!

[davidleduc85]

nice!!!

[Satanos777]

@einAstronaut A song about Occupy Wall Street w/ bagpipes, mellotron, didgeridoo and rap elements.

[HastursHatred]

A song about the baroque concept "vanitas"(for further info see wikipedia "Vanitas" ) applied to the atrocities of Pol Pot in Cambodia.

[NOSFERATUalu]

oh and the song is absolutely amazing... i love the vocals and drums and the video and EVERYTHING :D

[NOSFERATUalu]

love.

[houseband239]

make a hard-rocking song: guitar, bass, and drums

[einAstronaut]

@houseband239 done ;-)

[rootvalue]

Hey, how is the collab-club video coming along?

[einAstronaut]

@rootvalue it's gonna be finished. promised.

[rootvalue]

@einAstronaut Great to hear, thank you, Eike! Just been a little busy lately?

[uchuujinmesu]

Nice!! I like the song. And Junior is with us again! : )

As for suggestions: I really like the sound of wind flowing through leaves. How about that sound? Or your cello, which wasen't used in one of your songs yet. (or was it?). Even though it might be a challenge. ; )

And well, what to write about...how about being stuck, not knowing it's yourself who keeps you from moving to the right direction. Don't know. ^^

[einAstronaut]

@uchuujinmesu wind and my cello (although it's broken and I can't play it) are great ideas. I'll keep those in mind, thank you!

[ModernApple]

I always think "there's no way he can top this one" but then you do!!! Much love :)

[einAstronaut]

@ModernApple awww thank you so much!

[nitro0555]

A real challenge, the Teremin

[16235]

Could you write a song about trying to have a long distance relationship? And, could you have alot of the focus on the bass?

[einAstronaut]

@16235 good idea. i love my new bass!

[kegs95]

me gusta!!!!

[SalohcinZerep]

try hurdy gurdy and steel drums

[mariahwester]

Seriously awesome. (:

[bobclagettmusic]

wow man, great melody there! And you're killing it with that drum machine, I'm getting jealous of that thing :)

Great job as always!

[Brofelscher]

Is he really your son? No or?

[einAstronaut]

@Brofelscher definitely.

[Snapshot3]

you should write about a youthful depression that blooms into a wild-eyed passion for life

[TheNiallpd]

i think you should write with a brass section, with tubas and trombones. You could also try writing about cold weather.

[einAstronaut]

@TheNiallpd yeah i'd love to do that!

[trudbol]

That anonymous little kid walking and playing in the tall grass was really hypnotizing, it worked great with the audio. Great work once again, Eike.

Song ideas: what's going on in my cat's head? words that start with the letter "Q", how to build a time machine with paper and scissors.

Instruments / sounds: walking on snow, your heartbeat, clipping a fingernail, blowing your nose, a cat's "meow"

Good luck!

[einAstronaut]

@trudbol thanks so much, julien! and sooo cool ideas. I'll definitely keep them in mind! as well as our collab. ;-)

[MotMot33ify]

Could you sing a song about lonelyness?

[einAstronaut]

@MotMot33ify thanks very much... although i guess lots of my songs deal with that topic...

[ItsSoulFlys]

a song 'Sick of daily routine'

[MarineDelta1]

First I didn't realize that was a question he posed and I thought everyone in the comments was being intrusive and childish, requesting music; then I told off Cody Weber; then I felt super dumb.

also, a song about song writing, perhaps, how it can move you emotionally and the catharsis it brings.

[Arkvooodle6]

Sing a song about coming out of depression. That could help a lot of sad people out there.

Also, for instrument combinations...how about the harp and the guitar. Harp calming, guitar very heavy.

[einAstronaut]

@Arkvooodle6 thanks... first part: done!

[faraoseth]

You should sing about dildos

[Magic99000]

@faraoseth You're retarded good sir.

[einAstronaut]

@faraoseth good point. :-)

[iBulgey]

What did you use for the percussion in this video? It's brilliant, very punchy and electro.

[pedro911212]

this is very like radical face but you still have a distinct sound. :)

[TheRHExperience]

This was a lovely video and a fantastic song! Really nice!

[AwesomeRants]

Barefoot running :) Maybe use the loud noise of running with shoes as a beat and the soft noise of running without shoes as another part of the percussion.

[einAstronaut]

@AwesomeRants that's a nice idea, thanks!

[thepurplepanic]

It was beautiful. Thanks! Made my day even more sunny! Did you do the cinematography in this video? Where is it?

[einAstronaut]

@thepurplepanic thanks very much! yes I did. It's in Hamburg, Germany.

[Peepholecircus]

very nice. I like the layering of vocals and the bass coming in.

[yesjonisme]

Write a song about the internal ticking of a body clock. Use a vocal delay and add another layer each time like in "the prophet song" by Queen? :)

[Saturninefilms]

First of all: Beautiful video and song. Your voice is golden and I love the shots of your son on his scooter. Thanks for the plug!

Second: You should write a song about being small in the universe.

[SittingOvations]

@Saturninefilms Being small in the universe is the most boring topic, you could ever choose for a song.

[uchuujinmesu]

@SittingOvations

Why do you think so? Isn't it something most people tend to forget?

[Babk0ck]

@Saturninefilms Hi Cody

[einAstronaut]

@Saturninefilms thanks so much... and: done!

[SacreligiousPorkchop]

I think this my favorite song of yours.

[ineedacoockie666]
