Subject: RE: Taking on the Big Boys? - classic big long ballads
Maryrrf, this works for me too. There's full honesty in Jim's vocals here. I also really like those thin tinny synth pipes adding strain and tension. I think musically it's a piece of fully engaging drama. The synth drums bring a driving inevitability to the drama (as I think does the rap somewhat. Though I agree that this element doesn't really click fully into place - though there's no reason IMO why it *couldn't*). Like the fade out at the end... ... ... ... as he rides off into the forever distance.
JimC will hate it!
Otherwise folks, so chuffed to see this thread still running well.
