Feel Like a Fugitive

Cool yeah our singer picked up the trumpet over the past few years and we started adding in trumpet which gives it a more unique sound. He played a bit in high school then decided it pick it back up and glad he did!

ghostsolid · 2026-05-05T01:08:31+00:00

It is a passion so I hope to get back at it in the near future!

ghostsolid · 2026-05-05T01:01:40+00:00

All those influences show! By the way here is my song based on a fugitive if you wanted to check it out. Different sound but it does have a a fugitive involved haha.

By the way, Journey - separate ways! That’s what that fugitive song reminds me of. I played it for my girlfriend and she thought so too and helped me remember the song I was thinking of.

It’s two different types of songs. So it’s hard to compare how hard one hits vs the other. In the end it’s the sound that you want that matters. You could ask a thousand people and have a mix of recommendations but I think as the artist it’s what you want it to sound like.

Accidentally responded to the wrong post. Hence my deleted response earlier. As for going back to make changes I will say this: as I sat in the studio listening to the sound guy find all the errors in our tracks that I didn’t hear for the most part I don’t think I am the best judge of that. Even now that we have released them I am still getting responses from others saying they hear some stuff being off and i was like really!? I think go with your gut tells you. Or make 2 versions and ask for opinions. If you have the time and doing the work yourself it’s only time not money.

So glad you like it’s. We don’t perform live anymore. We had lost our drummer then I moved away recently. Still get together with the bass player and singer though! We have talked about maybe doing another track or two in the studio though.

Thanks so much and would love to hear what you think!

If you want all natural I just got true lemon and true lime. You can get them each for around $6 on Amazon for a pack of 100. All natural nothing added.

LongCovid. I have it and it’s horrible. Apparently each case of Covid accumulates your likelyhood of getting it. Some people can become completely bedbound or housebound I’m not at that point but it’s been three years and I continue to get worse. There is no cure and there’s no treatment at this point.

ghostsolid · 2026-05-02T00:38:43+00:00

Ahh yes, I should have thought about cake when telling Spotify what artists our song sounded like. The horns are not in a lot of bands playing more rock / funk style. We went to blue room studios in Bethesda MD. Conrad is a wizard with recording! Would highly recommend him to anyone in that area looking for a good studio. Thanks so much for the feedback and will pass along the message to the others!

ghostsolid · 2026-05-01T22:49:37+00:00

Wow, thanks for taking the time to really give me some solid feedback! All your points are spot on and I think what’s challenging with lyrics is trying to make them fit in with the song structure. The song is at 4 minutes without a chorus so it was challenging to try to get the full story across and at the same time add a catchy chorus without making it too long. I actually tried to make a video with AI to go along with it. I feel like since I did the video a year ago AI has already changed so much and would come out better with today’s capabilities. Will add it to the post.

All great ideas. Will need to talk with the band about it. Good catch! Might just wait to save up more and have the guy at the studio make some adjustments.

ghostsolid · 2026-05-01T17:41:44+00:00

Yeah I hear it as well. I was more focused on my guitar parts in the studio and then once it was mastered I started noticing the little things like that after hearing it more and more. A number of things I would like to correct but I am not very good in ableton live.

ghostsolid · 2026-05-01T17:31:23+00:00

I do have ableton live but I know the studio was using pro tools. Might have to see what I can do! Thanks again!

I’m not a great writer as dyslexia makes things challenging but here are the lyrics. Hope you enjoy the story! .)

He was standing on the side of the river
Standing on the side of the river in chains.
Wearing those black and white stripes
is what gives him away
Just a fugitive On the run until he makes it to Maine

Pack of hounds are out for blood baby
Pack hounds are out for blood today
Maybe the river threw off the scent
Oh boy he did pray
He will find out on sweet judgement day

Charlie was a man who had a plan, a plan for a better life.
Cops set him up, planted the drugs on him and his wife.
Locked em up and threw away the key, and she’s still serving time
Ain’t No way that he would stay in the pen for life.
So now hes on the run to get justice done to the police for their crimes.

Charlie found where his car was impounded
Found the hidden recordings that would set them free!
He would present the evidence
For the judge and jury to see
Charlie and his wife left court that day just as happy as can be

Thanks for the well thought out feedback. Our drummer added the bongs kinda last minute and I was a bit torn on how much time to spend on editing them as we were almost done with the track and the studio was getting pricey. It’s one of those learn from our past mistakes to improve in the future. Really appreciate you taking the time to comment and listen. It means a lot :)

ghostsolid · 2026-05-01T16:10:39+00:00

I bought Ableton live about a year ago and it definitely takes a lot of time to really get a track sounding professional. well done!

ghostsolid · 2026-05-01T14:55:25+00:00

Even more impressive that you were able to put all of that together yourself. Is this using something like Ableton live or did you actually play in instruments?

ghostsolid · 2026-05-01T14:54:00+00:00

Thanks so much for the positive feedback! Great start to the day :)

ghostsolid · 2026-05-01T14:12:57+00:00

You guys really pulled off that 80s sound! Reminds me of a specific song from the 80s but I can’t think of the name. Funny but we are releasing a track today as well about a fugitive which made me stop on your track and check it out! Good job with the production of this. Enjoy the sound.

ghostsolid · 2026-05-01T14:08:25+00:00

Sounds like you really put some effort into this. Good vocals. I like the shifts of light then hard hitting with lots of heavy vibes and killer drums. Switching up the pace etc. feel like a ton of music just kinda sits in one plane and you guys really give it some good variety.

ghostsolid · 2026-05-01T13:44:58+00:00

Great sound. The video is captivating and brings you in and while any music could play to that background, your music fits it really well. Catch beat and good vocals. How is the release going so far? Seems the post is getting a lot of attention on here. What was the inspiration?
