Think Charlton Heston.... https://www.soundclick.com/html5/v4/player.cfm?songID=13891836if we make the rules and we’re in control if all we can lose is an empty soul…..... 1-then why should I be loyal if none are greater than me what is there to obey but my own vanity 2-I’ll claim my own image, my name shall be adored and be equal to my pride, an idol for the world 3-I’ll assume authority by all that is divine disregarding ancient truth and claim all wisdom is mine 4-my desire will drive me on fortunes’ endless quest drunk on the wine of fame my greed will never rest 5-my parents I will blame, the elders I will scorn for holding me to task from the day I was born 6-I’ll be free to live my life, loving all who follow me hating all who criticize and all who came before me 7-I’ll marry whom I choose and love all whom I will I’ll command an army of flesh to march just for the thrill 8-I’ll tear down all the walls and open all the cages liars, thieves, and friends in need, loyal to freedoms’ wages 9-the lie will be the truth, the truth will be for sale I’ll revel in inequity and deny the fires of hell 10-all will serve my pleasure and covet what they see I’ll bear witness to every lust and keep them enthralled to me if we make the rules and we’re in control if all we can lose is an empty soul….....

Really enjoyed my listen. If I were producing... it might have a bit more of "schock factor" in the intro... but that is inconsequential compared to the song and it's prophetic message. Yeah, I can hear the sound of breaking tablets. Best wishes for success. ----Dave

Hi Japov,
Cool song. Reminds me of the Doors, without the organ.

Hey Tony. Nice to see you here. You know that you and I will never agree on life's big questions LOL, but I've always loved the passion you bring to your songs. I can feel that in the lyrics here, but to me the music seems to kind of wander without arriving at a destination. That may be what Dave is getting at. I think it could use a more dramatic drum roll and a bit of a step up in intensity after the "empty soul line" It has a great atmospheric feel to it, but I think maybe melodically you need to grab us by the lapels a bit more and make us listen to what you have to say. Them's some good lyrics, and you really have something to say

Hey y'all, thanks for the feedback! "Doors, without the organ" lol.... Everyone always says Jim Morrison or David Bowie Gav, hey buddy what’s up! I know you n Dave are right... I hypnotize myself with my guitar, that’s my problem! Then, of course, there’s my vocal range.... Which is why I’m always looking for a singer

Yo, Japov, this song is definitely a ten and then some some. Lots of rebellion spelled out but if you don't rebel in today's mad society you simply get repelled. hey if you need a vocalist I am always available. Just send me a version of your song with your interpetation of the vocals and timeing with the music and then just the music on Mp3's. I will add vocals with my digital recorders and then you can perfect it on your superior equipment. Just let me know. My turnaround time is one to two days unless i am swamped, and I work for the joy and the challenge of the collaboration with shared credits. No fees required.

Ha! Thanks Matt, I'll keep that in mind. On the other hand, don't hesitate to have a go at anything I post, I'm always interested in other’s styles and interpretations
