"EMOTIONAL CORE" Mikayla & the FOG (original song)

[abc123jjz]

For once? Is Mikayla a lazy Chika?

Hello Bestest Buddy Dan!

[ThePatheticClub]

Heh, it had been a while since I heard this. :)

Groovy!

[dmio2]

@ThePatheticClub Hey, thanks for stopping by.

[ThePatheticClub]

@dmio2

I wanted to also say I like how each verse flows into the same chorus. That's a classic, tested technique used by many blues songwriters but it's not so easy to pull off.

Great job!

[dmio2]

@ThePatheticClub Thanks for the comment. Lyrics usually come difficult for me, but this tune seemed to have a clear vision from the outset. Plus Mikayla actually helped me with it for once.

[TheAelfymade]

Hello, here is the song that I am listening again and again. I love this video.

You are great. Thanks for sharing your talent.

[TheAelfymade]

Hello, here is the song that I am listening again and again. When I was Milkywayspot on YouTube, and also now. Indeed I love it. You are great and I subscribe. I am just beginning my new account, for now I've got time enough ;-)

Greetings from France. You are the best one, oh ! yes ...

Vous êtes les meilleurs, oh ! oui ... Bravo !

[dmio2]

@TheAelfymade Merci de l'écoute. Nous regarderons votre nouveau soong de canal. (I hope that is correct)

[welkflingers]

Have to agree, this is quite an awesome song. Clip's pretty cool too.

[dmio2]

@welkflingers Thanks for stopping by & commenting!

[ROCKBANDVonAmp]

This song is so freakin' cool - and wow - Mikayla's voice sounds amazing!!!! I like the subdued vibe - it's totally bad ass. Great guitar melodies too. Thanks for your comment on Hoodo - it's really appreciated. Still working out recording/sound issues and it's frustrating to get our live performances to record without buzz or boxiness (and sound like they do live)...You've got it down - this is awesome!!! -Tony

[dmio2]

@ROCKBANDVonAmp Yeah, I haven't figured out live recording either. Obviously camcorder mics aren't what one would hope for. Thanks for listening to our stuff! I'm pretty fond of this particular tune. I dig your band btw. I was an 80s rocker and I feel right at home with your sound.

[ROCKBANDVonAmp]

@dmio2 Thank you so much - it means a lot to us. We feel the same way about your music - we can't wait to hear what you do next! -Tony

[TxOutlaw13]

This just became one of my favorite songs...the lyrics are excellent...your daughter can sing..Janis Joplin would be proud...and we all know ya can jam!

[dmio2]

Thanks for checking out our tunes, Tx. I like the way this one turned out myself. Mikayla has a great voice for bluesy tunes... I wish I could talk her into recording more with me.

[experimentalrock]

Looks like daughter and daddy o has got it going on! Cool blues song with something to say indeed. Soulful voice. Groovy sax! 5*****

[dmio2]

Thanks for listening, experiment. and thanks for the cool comment.

[dmio2]

Hi 7lizet, yeah, Mikayla was born singing the blues... no one knows why :)

[SriCassiopeia]

This is your daughter? She sings fantastic!

And your guitar is fantastic too of course!

[dmio2]

Hi Sri. Thanks for listening! Yeah, the kid was built to sing the blues, no one knows why.

Another piece of art!! True life in the form of a song... Great song and great job Mikayla:) jackie

[dmio2]

Hi Jackie, thanks for listening :)

[jgottlied]

Excellent song and video!!!!! Love that alto sax. I want to get myself another one. Haven't played one for about ten years now. I just love Mikayla's voice and it is so great that you two can do this together. I love everything I've heard on your channel for the past year, but I have to admit that your songs with Mikayla are my favorites.

John

[dmio2]

Hi John, yeah, I like the stuff with Mikayla too, but it seems that teenagers sometimes have better things to do then work on their dad's music projects lol. I hadn't played sax since high school until I started making these videos. Thanks for listening!

[curiousgeorge555]

Have you decided which path to take? How many roads must...

(-;

~cg5

[dmio2]

Hi Curious. I'm not sure about Mikayla, but I think for me the meaning of life is lying on the couch sleeping through sporting events on TV lol

[babeokelly]

the music you guys make together is real cool.you can blow that saxs like no bodies busy.and the voice .girl you were meant to do just what you are doing.look forward to more

[dmio2]

Thanks for listening & the cool comment, babeokelly. You're pretty creative yourself, I'm sure you'll have a lot of cool things coming soon as well.

[freeoriginalsongs]

Very Black Key-ish - with a dash of morphine.

Thanks for Sharing :)

[dmio2]

Thanks for listening, freeoriginalsongs. You know, I don't think anyone has described it that way before :)

[CrystallampProd]

Very comfortable music..

Have a nice day :)

[dmio2]

Thanks of listening & commenting, Crystallamp.

[szabo23]

Yeah! I like this one! 'Emotional core' is a great hook and it makes an excellent refrain!

[dmio2]

Thanks for listening, Puddleman. Now back to my favorite chair.

[billybluesrock]

Excellent  *****

[dmio2]

Thanks for listening, billyblues

[spidersonic]

Another great song... do you guys record the video and audio tracks at the same time, or separately? As in, do you guys first establish the song in MP3 form or whatever, then take videos of you playing/singing?

[dmio2]

Hi spidersonic. Yeah, we record first then act or lip sync for the video. I can't get a good sound recording live... plus, I'm not that great at sax or lead guitar so its nice to have a few takes.

[Paranormal999]

Amazing voice and music a real talent indeed.

[dmio2]

I'm glad we appeal to the paranormal. Thanks for listening.

[LallaLOVES]

[dmio2]

Hi Lalla, thank you for listening!

[dmio2]

Thanks for listening oiooio000. In honor of your comment we are going to watch a Toshiro Mifune movie. (Mikayla is too young for sake)

[giantplanet]

Great tune ,nice guitar and sax,some nice Dali`s and some library you got.:)5/5 Top share Cap`n

[dmio2]

Hi giantplanet, thanks for listening. I think Dali was diggin' at that emotional core.

[andydudley1]

reviewers know jack shit anyway

[dmio2]

Thanks for listening andydudley. We weren't too distressed by the reviewer. In fact, it was fun to rip off his phase for this song.

[simonbath]

drippin long and loose with the magma of musical mad affliction...i'm licking the computer screen in thanks and appreciation. fun had? not 'alf.

[dmio2]

Well thanks for listening, simonbath. And thanks for licking up that magma!

This is truly outstanding.

Hey listen Mikayla... now that you've clearly found your emotional core ... can you toss me a smidgeon of it? There's a couple of tunes I could use that on. *grin*

Thanks for being SO way cool.

Thanks again, Liz. I'm fond of this one too... its kind of deep and kind of silly at the same time.

[kokoro86]

Very cool premise!

Hi kokoro. Thanks for listening & taking a moment to comment.

[cchhaanneeyy]

You two are amazing!!! She has a great voice and you my man, on that sax, you're a god!

[dmio2]

Thanks for listening & the compliments cchhanneeyy. I've noticed non-sax players think I'm cool, but real sax players not so much. I'm probably only assistant god. :)

[Vigilanz]

That's the sound I love to hear, coz if you close your eyes you got the feeling the music controls your mind and you are falling in a "everything is easy" - feeling

Nice work...

[dmio2]

Hey Vigilanz, What a great comment! Thanks a lot!

[stufish4040]

Fabulous! It's like the 70's never went away!

[dmio2]

funny you should say that, stufish. The FOG is off to his 30 yr high school reunion tonight. Ahhh, back to the 70s! Thanks for listening & commenting.

[dmio2]

Hi Wes, thanks for listening.

[Bass734]

Very cool song- I like the vibe. I really like your bass sound too.

[dmio2]

Thanks for listening Bass734. I haven't played louder then line level in a long time; I sometimes wonder what kind of sound I'd get if I did amp it up.

[Bass734]

Yeah me too- is been a while since I've done the amp thing too. I've tried doing both amp and line at the same time and it was cool but just took too much out of the mix. This recording thing is very tuff hehe. OOOO- I forgot- nice sax playing too. GL

[BishUTubeop]

Great song ! Great video !

[dmio2]

Thanks for listening & commenting, Bish. Rock on!

[eaglecrowowl]

[41Earth]

Great to hear some new, original blues! Keep it up.

[dmio2]

Thanks for listening & commenting 41Earth. Mikayla was born singing the blues. No one knows why.

[GrannyPanties30]

She has got an incredible voice!! I love that low sultry tone. She reminds me of Joss Stone just a bit! This is a great original song!! I would've given my right arm to have a dad that wrote and played for me! I have to bribe my brother with money just to play the accoustic for me once a year! You are awesome!

[dmio2]

Thanks for the great comment, Granny. Yeah, Mikayla has a unique voice & great pitch. It gives the FOG an excuse to play. Thanks for listening!

[macgyver2112]

i wish my dughter would sing for me. how did you do it.good song

[dmio2]

Thanks for listening, macgyver. It isn't easy. It turns out that teenagers have more interesting things to do then work on the old mans music projects.

[hueseph]

Cool song man. I connect. Everyone needs to spend more time searching these things. If this life is all there is then our insignificance is magnified. In a Universe millions of years old, our paltry few years in existance is lost. You're daughter is hillarious. My kids think I'm crazy too.

[dmio2]

Thanks for listening hueseph. Be careful, thinking on these things will drive you nuts... its best to distract yourself with video games & sporting events on TV :)

[skhughesband]

Cool video, you guys.

[dmio2]

Thanks for listening skhughesband. The FOG digs your stuff as well.

[GUTOROSSANA]

Great performance!!!

Hi smirenger. Thanks for the stars!

[SCMelissa]

Jack, thanks for e-mailing me this video. You're right...Jake would have been so into this..especially the sax too...all of it is great...I'm going to subscribe...

[dmio2]

Hi Melissa, thanks for listening and subscribing.

[MrJackGrayson]

I really wish my late nephew Jake could have been around to hear this. Both of us had lived together for sometime and we both appreciated all styles of music but this song in particular has such a funky sound to it that I'm rather positive he would have liked it. I have added this song to my AMAZING AMATEURS playlist. This places your song at number 69. When I reach 100 I am going to share the playlist with all my friends again. I really liked this song and video. Peace!

[dmio2]

Thanks for the support, Jack. It sounds like Jake was a very important person in you life. It's very difficult to fill those gaps. We wish you well.
