  Hearin' that, too ... nice piece to watch snowflakes drift across a grey sky ... {#Meditate}

I'm sure anyone's seven year-old daughter could play this. If coached by an American-Idol mom/dad.  Let your kids grow up normally, okay? Don't push them to be something they might not want to be. {#Doh}

Having said that, I like this song. I'll probably hate it if it shows up on some reality show with children who should be playing with kids their own age instead of griping about the color of their eye shadow.

I fear for humanity.

This is a really rough version of this song. The remix on iTunes is faster and much more polished.

You're right..."Surrendered" is a different song by the same artist: https://www.amazon.com/Surrendered/dp/B0011U06RA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1249679251&sr=8-1

It sounds like music you would here on the menu screen of a video game....something that could loop indefinitely as you pass out at 3:00 AM...
Posted 17 years ago by stickers11    [ Reply ]
Although meandering at points, losing all the momentum it builds up with over-synth, there are some really moving moments to this. Definately some Moby in there, as well as Conjure One / Rhys Fulber type breaks. The echo on the piano is just plain cool. How did I let this one slide by? Bill, I'm buying this one right now. I'll send your regards. Outstanding artistry.

A bit 'lite' and manufactured, the sort of thing you'd hear in upmarket furniture stores as background muzak. Reminds me of Jean Michel Jarre but without even the tiny edge that his work had. Inoffensive stuff which goes in one ear and out the other.

I just prefer music done on stage - or at least by hand. I'm sorry, folks. 4pt
Posted 17 years ago by nu-GFX    [ Reply ]
Very nice. Good production on the piano--some homages to Moby, New Wave, and a Robert Miles-ish use of melody and tone. Not overplayed.

This sounds like a slowed-down version of the background to Finley Quaye's "Dice." Fortunately, I like that song, too.
Posted 18 years ago by natural_tools    [ Reply ]
I like the movie-end feel of the last few tracks. Sometimes it's just nice to hear some evocative instrumentals. Thanks for the build-up and wind-down!
Posted 18 years ago by SinBlossom    [ Reply ]
Dude, its an indy recording from Milwaukee. If anything deserves to be overplayed, this is it. Its not like this is U2 or something. Very nice song, and not at all overplayed. stickers11 wrote:

Hunh. I just came on to say that I needed this after that Kronos. Just goes to show ya, one man's poison is another's pleasure. By the way, Kronos tends to be a little...strident, but Lux Aeterna was a bit over the top even for them. Must be the movie influence...?

I'm puzzled by the large amount of airplay this song has received in the past year. Seems to be the default selection whenever the RP mix needs to wind down a little. I'd personally prefer to see other subdued songs get a chance.

There's something about songs like this with no words that says so much more than 'traditional' music. Music is already great with associations, but songs like this the associations are that much more meaningful and stronger. Mama Cries would probably be just another pretty song if it didn't cause me to think of someone I really care about every time it comes on.
