My 1st *Catholic* song

[thestickman]

Here’s my very 1st Catholic song. There’s always been a lot of religious themes in my music through the years but this is the 1st one I’ve written since deciding to convert to Catholicism. It’s rock and roll in a Pink Floyd kinda way style-wise.

Here’s the link. It’s an MP3 and I hope folks will share their thoughts,please.

I thinkt it’s awsome! If you redo it, make the words a little clearer and better able to hear them… the guitars were a litle overpowering. Other than that, I enjoyed it. The words were very good too!

I am a C C R and ZZ TOP fan, but I liked your song. A little “mellow” is sometimes good. Had a good story line and a smooth beat to follow.

VERY cool! Good tune and lyrics. I’ve been listening to music that is a little less “heavy” sounding lately, but your song takes me back to a lot of what I listened to in the late 80’s/90’s. I think Gomer Tree also had a song. Maybe the musicians should get together and compile a CA greatest hits album.

I think kramerbaby is looking for an “Unplugged” version. Actually, that would fit my current listening habits too.

Are you doing all the instruments? Or are you just the stick man?

Keep it up and keep us posted!

I am not a music buff, so i don’t really know what “unplugged” is. IS it when you unplug the Electric guitars and play acoustic? I am confused. I am a huge classic rock fan, but when the instruments are soo over powering that I can hardly understand the words, I turn it off. Stickman’s wasn’t that bad, though. I could understand most of it. (though I wasn’t paying complete attention… )

Thanks to you, John and everyone else who’s listened and taken the time to let me know what they think.

I am playing all the instruments, singing all the vocals, did all the engineering and mastering. Which means if no one ever likes it I have no one else to blame

I could probably work up an unplugged version. Might be a good exercise and produce a better product, instead of just a different one.

Thanks to everyone for listening and responding.

GBU!

Unplugged is generally, drums, acoustic guitar and I’ve seen a bass guitar before (which, okay, is technically plugged in). Most of the time the tune gets slowed down a bit and is “lighter”. There are some really nice acoustic versions of songs out there. I like some of them better than the originals, but then I play acoustic guitar (although not as well as I want yet).

Thanks. Words and “story” excellent. But since it is such an important song - enunciate the words a little better. Cut volume on guitars a bit when you are singing, please. Thanks:clapping: :dancing: :tiphat:
