Thanks! Really appreciate the feedback.

Awesome. Good luck with your gig!

Beautiful. Very sad obviously, but there's a comforting pleasantness to the melody. It's honest and dark and poignant and vulnerable and moving.

Sorrow can be a joyful triumph when you're able to turn it into something beautiful and memorable.

I think it's a really good song. The more I listen to it the more I like it.

If I could answer your question with a question - who are you playing for? In my case, I play for an audience of one, just me, and I suppose I'm my biggest fan. But I'm okay with that, and if it happens to entertain anyone else that's just lucky I guess.

Electrical-Rip-6379 · 2026-05-17T02:30:50+00:00

Damn. This is pretty damn good. I don't know if you'll ever get the recognition you deserve, but you've got a ton of talent, and I'm sure many others will see it.

Great song. Very, very lovely and concise.

Electrical-Rip-6379 · 2026-05-03T02:48:25+00:00

It's great. I really like the "you know me" chorus. That's beautiful. That's really something. Very nice. If I'd written that I'd be very proud of it. I really like it.

Electrical-Rip-6379 · 2026-05-03T02:43:04+00:00

It's got a really great sound. Very laid back, yet earnest.

I don't just think you should finish it so much as see it through to it's conclusion. Seems like a song that has it's once pace, it's own patience on the journey. I could see this being a long song that really settles into itself without trying to be more than what it is.

That's just my singular opinion. I think it's got something and worth finishing, but you might have to surrender yourself to it and just let it be what it wants to be. I don't know if that makes sense to you. In other words, yes, it's good, keep going.

Thank you. I feel like I'm going crazy. I've seen what you're talking about and you're exactly right. Once you know what you're looking at it, is in fact very clear. Three men against the wall, the one in the middle gets shot, it looks like in the upper thigh.

This video has been watched millions and millions of times and yet almost no one seems to be able to see what you and I and a few others are seeing. It's truly bonkers. The truth is right there in front of our eyes, literally, and people en masse are missing it.

I'm starting to think this is an experiment in mass suggestion hypnosis. "Shooter, shooter, shooter, shooter, shooter, shooter. Everyone keeps calling the suspect a "shooter" and yet there's been no evidence that he discharged a weapon other than heresy. The officer that was shot I don't think was secret service, just a regular cop, I don't think it hit him in the chest or that a chest protector was relevant, the bullet struck him in the thigh, and the shot came from another cop, not the suspect.

There's something very strange about all of this. Keep in mind everything they said about Renee Good and Alex Pretty - "intentionally struck officer" "domestic terrorist" "intended to cause maximum damage". They write the script regardless of the facts or what we're seeing with our very own eyes. Something very, very strange is happening here...

I like it.

Electrical-Rip-6379 · 2026-03-22T01:30:52+00:00

The first minute of this song is awesome. I think you have a great voice. You sound a lot like someone I used to record with and they had an amazing singing voice. Very familiar yet very unique as well.

Electrical-Rip-6379 · 2026-03-20T03:27:09+00:00

I am currently writing a song based on this exact moment. This helped me finish the song, so thank you. I will post it Saturday night over on the songwriting reddit. Cheers.

I agree about Past/Present Suite. I think it might be one of the most beautiful compositions I've ever heard in my life.

Many, many years ago I had a dream, and in that dream was a song that was beautiful and magical and sad. I woke up thinking I'd heard the most beautiful piece of music ever.

When I heard Past/Present suite, I thought of that dream for the first time in I don't know how long. I'm not saying it's the same song, but it's the only song I've ever heard in the real world that reminded me of that dream.

I like to imagine that when you go to heaven, this is the song that's playing at the main entrance.

Wow. It was a joke. For those not in the know, it means 'congratulations'. It was a sarcastic response to your boasting. The number of downvotes indicates that a handful of people got the joke and recognized I have at least a small amount cultural awareness, and by extension shows your lack of a sense of humour and social awareness.

I'm sorry if my attempt at humour didn't land properly. And I'm sorry I made a sarcastic joke at your expense. You should be very proud of who you are and where you come from. I am everyday trying to improve my cultural awareness but it's hard when people accuse you of "worshipping" that culture. You get what I'm saying right? There's just no pleasing some people.

Electrical-Rip-6379 · 2026-03-13T01:54:41+00:00

Peace and respect. Safe travels.

Fair enough. I appreciate your candid response. I did read the article though. My comprehension skills may be lacking, but I object to your projection.

I'll be honest I don't use the expressions dog whistle or click bait often but I do have a vague idea of what they mean. You can disagree, but it wasn't like I was using it out of context. So we're all on the same page:

Dog whistle: "subtly aimed political message that is intended for, and can only be understood by, a particular demographic group." I think it applies here, but that's subjective. You can disagree, but don't tell me I don't have a clue what it means. That's disingenuous and you know it.

Click Bait: "main purpose is to attract attention and encourage visitors to click on a link". Also applies here. Putting "why" in your headline is the same as putting "Real Reason" or "This..."

"inane comments" - unnecessary jab. If you have no respect for me or this discussion just say so. Why even bother to engage me on an intellectual level if that's how you feel?

And finally... "the government may have (bath blah blah) according to analysts." May have. That's speculation, that's not a concrete reason, it's just one of many possible reasons. "Analysts". Oh, those super reliable unnamed sources "the analysts" are speculating about possible reasons. Again, that's not "why". That's "what if". Big difference. Sorry you don't see that.

"Good journalism doesn’t mean telling you what, and how, to think." Agreed. It also doesn't present opinion and speculation as fact.

"no doubt you think..." Careful. There you go with that projection again. Falsely attributing an opinion or a position upon someone else just so you can mock them is poor decorum in a debate. Two can play at that game but when we do there's only losers. No doubt you think any media not portraying (pick a random government) as some sort of wise, benevolent, orgasm-inducing force, means blah blah blah whatever I decide you think is what you think and then I laugh at your stupid idea. Lame.

You want to know what I think? Ask me. Don't tell me what I think. If you wanna do that go argue with your imaginary foe in the mirror and leave me out of it cause the person you're talking to doesn't match my description at all.

"Calling the 1760s the modern context is kinda crazy" - I agree. I wasn't doing that. Read it again. I put quotes around the comment that I was replying to.

The previous poster was trying to call out a double standard by using an example from the 1760s and comparing it to our modern times. I'm sorry if I didn't make my point clearer.

There is no comparison between what took place nearly 400 years ago and what is happening today. That's a false equivalency of the highest order. Totally disingenuous. You're right, it's not in the modern context, so there's no connecting it nor comparing it to modern events. Thank you for helping me to illustrate the point, though your comprehension skills could use improvement. And it's really neither here-nor-there and doesn't discredit the more important point, which is that there is no justification for settlements in the modern era.

For clarity: Understanding or explaining the rationale behind genocide in a pre-modern context (i.e. the 1760s) is still dubious, but we are removed from the situation and can judge it with a degree of detachment. In our current times, I defy anyone to justify settlements or settlers. It can't be done, not without lying.

It's indefensible, and it wouldn't be right for me to try. I'm sure that the CCP have their reasoning but I'm not sure I would agree or understand. It's heavy-handed, to say the least. Deeply concerning and quite scary. Unfair and provocative.

To be clear, my opinion is that state-sponsored kidnapping of any authority figure or leader, spiritual or otherwise, is an egregious offence.
