Description

Are we really living in a world where most people are concerned mostly about themselves?

Matthew 6:3

This started from the bass line and grew from there. I had no idea where this was going. The freesound voice samples finally made this snap into place.

Yep I guess so
Ego is a big problem in the world, and money is the evil tool, it makes us greedy... But that's not all true, cos for all the poor workers is about surviving, they are more like slaves so the rich man can be more rich... Sorry!! but that hove I see about it.

Nice song I had to listen twice as your question had my first attention, but maybe that was what you wanted?
As always I love what you do my friend.

Peace
Kenta

	1:36 is where it's at! Well timed; I like the choral voices there, too. Despite the 'rough; sounds, it's a very gentle song. Check out my latest song called LIOLI 9 (Interlude)

	Interesting build Starts "loud", then the break at 1.36 and then a slow build towards the end. Well done as usual! /Henke Check out my latest song called Heading for Alpha Centauri (mj space race 2009)

	Unfortunately, yes 2 Tim 3:1-3 really describes it well. Your sound stories leave room for interpretation, which is quite cool, and you find the perfect sound effects for them. Check out my latest song called Sweet Grace

I don't GET...
...the moocher business, but my hearing isn't all that good, either! I really liked each section of this intriguing number, esp. the bass lead about 1/2 way through. You have a very fine sense of what works orchestration-wise. The brass (?) interpolation about 3/4 is great and takes the piece so nicely into the final section. With actually very simple elements (a recurring, mantra-like chord pattern) you have created a piece that captures and keeps one's attention in somewhat of a trance-like fashion. I enjoyed this number.
Peace.

Had to listen... the title demands it.

And I am not disappointed. Smokey... you got a real cool tune going here. What a groove-beat. Really, this is infectious. And then such am abrupt and subtle change. The voices in the background... the horns. This thing is, did I say, infectious. And bringing home with that pad electric guitar thing (whatever it is, I don't know). But it seals the deal. Big kudos WV man... (my first granddaughter was born there, btw).

	okay you should have called this one 1:36 as there seem to be different takes on it's appearance. I for one LOOVE that part. i love stuff that comes completely out of left field. another great track Bill, you continue to amaze me with the quality you wring out of GB. Check out my latest song called Behind Enemy Lines (w/Bud and Particle Dots)
