Been listening to quite a lot of Funkadelic, Bootsy Collins, Eddie Hazel. Started jamming. Played some piano. Some bass. Got funky. Sang some nonsense. Did a one take guitar solo.
If you wanna run when I walk
If you wanna listen when I talk
If you wanna fly when I fall
Understand I'm a man, I've got plans, I don't need you at all
If you wanna hate when I speak
If you wanna fight when I'm weak
If you wanna laugh when I cry
Understand I'm a man, I've got plans, I don't need to say why

This is so good.
Nice solo and building layers
@adforperu Mar 2022
Oh, you have brought the funk. Redbone vibes in that vocal! Love the jump into the falsetto especially. Killer guitar solo, and the swirling vocals are such a nice touch. Real Sly and the Family Stone vibes as well, which is always, always a good thing.
@kajati Feb 2022
Hey, I am sorry I couldn't get to listen to your stuff till today.
This is really good, love the voice, Nah, fuck it, love it all, cannot find fault here, The instrumentation is wonderful, and the vocals are superb..
will listen to the rest now too.
@srcoops Feb 2022
Really like the words. Nice work!
@jonmeta Feb 2022
Man, this grooves! The bass sounds amazing. Melody is hooky, especially with that soulful falsetto note on the third line. Reverb and echo (a too-easy cover-up for poor music) is spot on, just right for this style and sound and complements the groove. I'm impressed with how you make just bass, drums, piano, and guitar fill up the space so well. The lyrics make sense and hit home; don't seem like throwaways to me.
@chrisshepard Feb 2022
I really like your guitar and your singing is smooth on that falsetto. Nice solo and accompanying effects as well! And of course, when you invoke the name of Funkadelic, I expected a long guitar solo and I got it. It was giving me Maggot Brain feels near the end.
@majordanby Feb 2022
Wow! How have I not heard any of your tracks this year? This is superb. Your vocals are brilliant and all of the Parliament style treatment you’ve given to this is so spot on. I could listen to this on repeat. Respect for nailing that guitar solo in one take! Awesome,
@grayland Feb 2022
I love everything about this!!! I'd point out some of them but it looks like it's all been said.. so just let me say...wow!! Well played, well sung, outrageously creative and well mixed... and that guitar lead is perfect!!
@splittybooms Feb 2022
Oh yeah...this that stuff right here.
All around smooth and soulful vocal performance.
That guitar is sounding sooooooo good. Quite the slow bop to that bass, too.
Good grief that guitar solo is hitting all the right notes in my ears. Oohh bending them high notes!
That could've gone on for another few minutes. And it was a ONE TAKE?? Friggin awesome.
This was a very much needed spoonful of soul, love this track!
@seemanski Feb 2022
Damn, loved your vocals on this. Those high notes were to die for, so much funk and soul in this it's unreal. I'm inspired to try something similar and give rnb a go
@squeakmouse73 Feb 2022
Well, for having seemingly "thrown stuff together," as your description sounds, that was a good take.
@sunnymae Feb 2022
Oh yeah, you got some serious funk right here. Drums are so tight and in the pocket. Bass keepin' it down while your sing it out. Dig the guitar riffs midstream, back up vocals. It all works. Great job. I'm sitting here in the "funk nod" :0)
@scottlake Feb 2022
This could be Fine Young Cannibals after they have matured a bit and had some decades of life experience under their belts. Smooth!
@thesoundof Feb 2022
Oh I love it! So smooth, so smooth. I love the high note (fly) I love the faster part (understand i'm a ... need you at all) and I love the jamming in the end.
@beatsbycamel Feb 2022
This is so damn good! so funky!
@makers8 Feb 2022
It's all in the delivery and you delivered. This is excellent!
@boyatheart Feb 2022
Very nice melody and great harmonies. Nice job.
@nuchoyce Feb 2022
Bro this is a jam. So much funk and soul. Back ground layers creeping in smooth like butter. You have to perform this Live! Guitar Hero on this one.
@eas3637 Feb 2022
Love this! I struggle with keeping lyrics simple but powerful and you nailed it here. The falsetto jumps in the melody are great, and the background vocals are spot on.
@woolford Feb 2022
Hell yes! Gosh, I could really use skills like this. What a gorgeous production. Love the syncopated final line of the verses- so great. The things you've placed oppositionally "if you wanna x when I y" give such a rich picture. I can't praise this enough.
@davidtaro Feb 2022
This is just ludicrously good. It so totally sounds like the sort of groove a seasoned funk/soul band has got into after several hours jamming. The idea that it’s just you adding layers is slightly mind blowing. And then that solo comes in. Phwoar…
@neil Feb 2022
Woah, filthy groove. This is amazing fawming. I'm not at the solo yet but I'm eagerly anticipating it.
...
Ok I'm there now. So much feel. Hearing echoes (lol) of Gilmour. Great stuff.
@itoarazi Feb 2022
This, as the kids say these days, FUCKS. Well done, sir!!
@halfwayhome Feb 2022
That, sir, is a groove!
Love what the rhythm guitar is doing - that's what's making this thing fly for me!
Well, that and the ridiculously smooth backing vocals.
Well, all that, and that INSANE solo. There had better been some epic facial expressions happening during that performance!
@judypie Feb 2022
Yas kween! This is IT. Love the rhythm, this is smooooth and funky! Awesome job, especially love the backing vox, perfect!
@gm7 Feb 2022
Funk is the ROOM! Love that piano just keeping that beat, Funky solo....mic drop . Awesome.
@dragondreams Feb 2022
Funk is where I live. And I can feel the Bootsy (on the one) vibe as an influence here. Got me doing the head bop at my desk. Love everything about this. :-)
@andromedaann Feb 2022
What a good music to hear! I loved how you sang the "fly" part. and the instrumental is amazing!
