[Original song] Twisting the knife

[Jean-Marc Boulier]

Hi fellow musicians,

I usually play and record more covers than originals, but I came up with this one, wonder if you like it?

 

[JabSTAR]

Very Nice. But i like your cover of "Torn" better ... Cheers!

ps.. you sounds a little like Barry Manilow

 

[The Shah]

I just listened to the song again, to the end this time, and it's amazing. It's chill, it's funky, it's smooth, and there are subtle elements that help create the atmosphere. Very much in love with the synth/rhodes part at the 3:36 mark. And JabSTAR is right, you do sound a little like Barry Manilow, with a touch of Robbie Williams. Did you write and play all the instruments on this one?

Thanks to you two, it is always pleasant to have a positive feedback on an original. I didn't know Barry Manilow, this is also interesting because we never hear our own voice the same way the others do, so that gives me an insight.

Yes The Shah, I wrote and played all parts. Drums/percussions and one of the synths are vst, all the other sounds come from my Nord Stage 2 keyboard except for the real acoustic guitars (one 6 strings and one 12 strings). I wish I had a real bass too (and knew how to play it!)
