Very Floydish sound to this one David. Very dark and expressive with lots of various textures. Very nice arrangement, instrumentation and a great mix. Great work.

Peace ad Blessings, John

Ah,dak nights,souls,abandonment and Gods...
Deep,deep stuff.
Don't start me of down metaphysical pathways LOL
I'll leave that speculation alone I think.

What we have here is a very cleverly crafted piece.
Mood,get it wrong and it all falls down,get it right and every word you sing will come to life.
Superb musicanship,that lead work is posativly crying.

I tend to listen to music as an empath I guess.
The sensations/emotions things suggest,often reveal the heart fo a song.

It is dark,it is lonely and it has a lot of questions it wants/needs answering,and so far,it only has the listening silence for company.

Beautiful work mate.

No talking about roots, cause everyone has one. What you create here is really outstanding. A song should be, for me it is, a journey, what you doing here is a trip to a beyond galaxy. Such a great vibe in this song, thanks for listen.....shine on...Chris

Wow! Wow ... Wow! Man David, this is truly the darkest, most mysterious song I've heard of your repertoire. I just read the info above, and it's intriguing! This song has a lot of power, let me tell you. That haunting, repetitive piano, the great percussion, the deep guitar sounds. And your voice - man! It reminds me of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. This definitely is one of my faves of yours David! Did I say 'Wow' already? :-) Incredible soundscape, loved it!!
Heinz.

hi Dave, man this had me startled for a moment. Very dark intro, I love it..You portrayed a pain and loneliness in this piece with your great sense of composition. I really like music that conveys deep feelings. I enjoy your keyboards to, piano and strings in perfect harmony. Your guests did a great job of adding drama to your song. The ending section I interpreted as a more harmonious feel. Excellent track Dave!!

Dave,
The words, music and emotion all gel together and really project the title of this song.. A voice crying out in the dark. Haunting. The percussion adds a lot of flavor to this. This is just excellent! Carried me right along..... The ending was an unexpected touch. Nice.

Have no clue how I missed this one Dave. Is that you singing?? Well whomever it is...I really like the voice. And the concept is very interesting along with how this thing builds...and builds patiently. The minimalistic piano notes, the infrequent guitar, and then the hand drums marking out an escalation of emotion. Excellent delivery and production here Dave...as always..something I can count on. ~Blake

hey david.. saw that title that appeals so strongly to me and remembered back to mixposure.com.. i liked it a lot then and i love it now.. love the piano lines.. cold as ice.. a long dark night indeed.. man you and Z (zefuldar) have those expressive sprechgesang vocals in common.. and I too thing the guitar was
beautifully expressive.. with all the notes flying around it's great to be reminded during my new tune that slow is also beautiful.. maybe moreso.. it sure is here.. awesome ambience..
nice to hear this favorite again here david.. cheers..
vocals in common

Brilliant number this, it's almost off the Animals album by Floyd. The guitar is almost Gilmour, great bit of work, really enjoyed this piece

I have to say, it's great to hear some piano based prog music. As much as I like piano, you'd think I'd use it more :-( just hard to find one aound...and I don't really play jeys well anyway. BUT HEY!! This is about YOU!! Great track....strange vox, but I enjoyed them. They really fit the mood. The piano theme was a bit haunting, almost horror movie styled. Guitar work...EXCELLENTO!! Great Track!

I like the artistry in this one.... pulls at you in very different ways... an aspect I like... its strong and delicate and of course a bit obtuse too... enjoyed it David!

pretty dark tune. piano gives it an ominous vibe. nice harmonics also. Guitar playing is pretty killer. at times I get a floyd vibe. nicely done.

I like abstract. This one is dark and Floyd like. Being a Floyd fan, I therefore love the track. The emotion is conveyed beautifully by the piano. Keep 'em coming mate. MD
