mellow matter right here.

Q ~~

shiiiet son!

i like that low freq, mangled horn sound.

it would sound so much better, in my opinon, if you added some kind of background noise, like a swaying breeze, or maybe something like waves crashing against rocks, or maybe a slight hum from a fridge/microwave, or perhaps pencils scritch scratching on paper, or a ruffled flapping of bird wings.

I agree, it could use a tad bit more in the atmosphere department.

how magnificent it is, that human beings can adapt to the toughest situations, and not only adapt but also shine.

yo, speak that! on this side, i felt the immense power of soul, many things youve said within this piece left me feeling awestruck, respect, empathy, admiration, and also temporarily captivated by the essence of your being.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

one thing i feel that you couldve worked on a bit more was the mixing of your vocals, and perhaps even a step back, to the actual recording process of your vocals. in some areas, when you speed through the words, it does hit the rhythm, but it gets drowned out by the high frequencies of the melody.

another note to keep in mind, is the energy you are feeling at that particular moment when youre in the booth. youre prolly familiar with this notion. it felt like you were not feeling the words as much, maybe previously to get through such drastic events in your lifetime, maybe you had the wall up a bit to feel more emotionally/psychologically secure/stable, but its like you had dammed up a river within you, and only some of that good water gets across.

your words are powerful, not to mention the way you interpret things are brilliant, though it seems that you are not feeling your own words as much and the meanings behind them. it could be because you are re-recording the same parts over and over again, till the focus of expression is shrouded by the concentration of articulation patterns, or it could be that you are only doing one-take recordings and you get distracted by external matters or just get tired a bit halfway through.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

these kinds of things happen a lot, especially in the martial arts of linguistics and logical bombardment interacting with emotions and im definitely no expert, just things that i have been through myself. sometimes, i observe these systems of processing (the stages of creating something our of nothing, translating complex feelings) and see the similarities between it and society by large. the way society moves through life shits and even our own species altogether through existence, is really reflective of our expressions within artistic boundaries and also the actual way the common man of the era thinks and feels.

alright, im getting a bit off topic now.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

one of the most outstanding quotes that i felt from this piece were (random order that i just picked out):

"im addicted to pain, i cant stop making the same mistakes"
"everyone i love burns me up, and everything i touch turns to dust"
"but hey truthfully if could i wouldnt change too many things"
"a shell of the hell of a guy that i always thought i would be"
"i got 2 girls i love to death, i just hate the world that created me"
" im accumulating a massive amount of wisdom too rapidly, and i have to breathe i dont think that the path im traveling, magically ends with the me and the girls of my dreams and happy"
"i tried to shine too many times and i oxidized and i rust"
"then play the victim in an existence which isnt fair to me"

----------------------------------------------------------------------

all of these quotes are genuine, heartfelt, and it is some of the things that i personally feel too.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

sometimes i wonder about getting older, and my dance with these imperfections, the same imperfections that make me who i am, but they do not define me, though people use them to try to define me.

sometimes i wonder if this dance will only get faster and faster until ***pop***, thats it, or maybe i will learn how to dance better with such a shitty dance partner that kicks me and punches the wind outta my gut every 30 seconds. not to mention the chokeslams, lol. but i think everything ive been through, you have been through.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

you know, sometimes its a lot better to just not look inside pandora's box. cause sometimes, theres things in there that scare the shit outta me. its like, my mind is a haunted house or something, but home is where the heart is. my bad for the essay, lmao.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

push on brutha, dont let it get the best of you.

i like to refer to music as one of my good entity friends, she always helps me fight demons (neg energy), but at the price of individualism and consumerism here are some songs id like to share with you, i hope they help you in life:

peace thru pieces

Q ~~

Teqneek responds:

Hey I'll most likely edit this later (edit: okay it's edited. also thanks for the links, I'm checking them out), to give a proper response to this- but I just wanted to say HOLY SHIT man this is by far the longest review I've ever received!

I appreciate the time you put in to writing it, and I agree with you on a lot of points.

I need to inject more feeling into my songs, I've always known this too. A few factors play into it, the main one being the lack of self-confidence I touched on in this song actually. I second guess myself, feel like people who aren't within earshot are like RIGHT next to me, and I bottle my emotion. I always feel like I'm being scrutinized by people, even if they aren't really there. Or even real...

Man I used to be so fucking outgoing; I remember running on stage, grabbing the mic out of the singer's hand, and proceeding to rap mah classics while the band just kept on jamming.

That actually happened. And yes it was fueled by alcohol but my point is this... nowadays I could never do something even remotely like that, no matter how intoxicated I may be...

Plus- grabbing the mic out of someone's hands is pretty dickish, and grounds for an ass-beating, although I do recall seizing some window of opportunity, where I knew I could pull something like that off without relentlessly being pummeled by a reggae band... I think... Honestly though lol I have no recollection... of any special moment which inspired me to take over a live show and think the band would be cool with it- but I did just that. And that's the type of confidence I had.

Then sooooo much bad shit happened in my life. Just awful event after awful event, nonstop, and for years. And it hasn't slowed down- if anything it's increasing in frequency. This song covers only a fraction of it really.

Anyway... Bad events and bad human beings have seriously killed my confidence, and now I have phobias of being criticized by both real and nonexistent people- and it causes me to bottle my emotions, including when I'm recording. And it certainly contributed to the nearly 2-year disappearing act I did from this music thing.

I have supreme confidence in my written word; but in order for it to reach out and impact someone, I have to use a part of me that is pretty fucking damaged.

Basically, I completely agree with your feedback about the vocal tone. And honestly I hope this song also provides an explanation as to why that is. Thanks for the thought-out review Qwaint. You da man.

this is rather phat, my friend.

those keyboards at the end were a funky choice. swell production like it always is. its a cool treat to be able to experience these things.

those crusty hi hats bring me much joy, and you dope snares fit it well. a good blending and panning of all frequencies, i like how you know the perfect amount of low freq, not too overpowering and not too runty.

a subtle combination is the best way, i feel.

just wondering, is the instrument of the main melody a flute that you EQd or a synth note that has been EQd?

i will now commence an electronic excretion of untold formation.

all in all, i liked it brosis. the imagery that im feelin is a sensation of swirly textures and squirrels scavenging for food during an interlude of the 4 different seasons, lots of abrupt twists in the entire visualization frame. i could also imagine a detective dude in a 1950's office, sitting in a leather chair that is not too poofy like the chairs of 2016. it was a vintage, beige color, of quality comfort. he was leaning backwards in the chair, his suit jacket hanging off the back end of the chair. and he was sipping some coffee that had cream and sugar in it out of a musty mug that appeared to be aged. the man was a bit of the chunky side, he had a bit of scruff on his face, a bit tired but he did not look exhausted. he was in relaxation mode, not experiencing extreme stress and pressure, though he was at work just relaxing a bit. its too much too describe everything so ill just stop here lol. ill end up writing a short story or something if i get into such details.

Q ~~

Libby-Shimmz responds:

I want to say it is a flute, but I'm not entirely sure.

Please, I hope you plan on fleshing out that story. Sounds as if it would be awesome!

Teqneek responds:

and thats the way the cookie crumbles.
