Hello everyone! For the past couple of years, As some of you know, I have been working very hard at composing some music for what I hope to be my debut album. Today, I would like to share a piece with you. Click on the link below, Read, Download, and listen! And if you DO download it, Please leave me some feedback! I hope you like it! This one is my baby... Enjoy! link |

Now, I'm not a music critic of any kind, so I really don't know what I'm talking about when I say this, but... ...what an amazing talent you have. This composition (I refuse to call it a song because it transcends that generalization and is much more realized than your typical three-chord wonder) will be stuck in my head for quite some time. Really good keyboard and drum work. You should be proud. |

Lester said it perfectly, but this piece is amazing. I downloaded it and I'll definitely be listening to it again. It just brings me back somewhere and that's kind of how I judge music. It's got a great tone, and it's one of those pieces of music where you can really tell how much feeling went into it. I wish I had your talent! |

This is fantastic Dan. It's got a great moody feel and I echo what others have said.. When I hear this, I picture a California beach, late in the evening. A young girl is swimming alone, bumps her head on something and begins to drown. On the beach, an off-duty lifeguard is having a casual stroll with his latest girlfriend when suddenly he notices the distress in the water. Quickly, he strips off his shirt and runs in slow-motion to her rescue... And this brave lifegaurd is none other than David Hasselhoff.... |

Ah, Jeff! I was HOPING for a 'Baywatch' comment! I'm on AIM at the moment, Drop me a line! And thank you Lester and Gunpowder Gelatine for taking the time to listen to the track and give me some feedback. I'm very happy that you like it! To everyone else, LISTEN! |
| Penis - Vagina 04.08.2005 08:21 |
Yeah I couldn't resist :) It really is a very, very nice track! I just got back from the store but I'm on now... hope I have your name right. (danlikesqueen)? |
| Lisser 04.08.2005 12:07 |
I love it. I'm at work and I've got it looped!!! |
| Mr Mercury 04.08.2005 13:27 |
Not bad at all, Dan. Quite cinematic if you like. The first 40 seconds put me in mind of the movie "The Warriors" as it has that kind of style - not that I am accusing you of a direct rip off (I'm not!!) Cheers, Dave. |
| Daburcor? 04.08.2005 17:01 |
I'm glad that those that have commented have liked the track! If I ever get a chance to record the vocal (and find someone to do some guitar work) I will come back to the track and polish it. Until then, This is as done as it will be. Thanks again for the kind words! There's no sense in making music if people don't listen to it. |
| Daburcor? 06.08.2005 06:50 |
Back to the top! |
| Daburcor? 14.08.2005 20:38 |
To all those interested (the VERY few of you), I have added some guitar bits (just long chords) to the chorus parts of the song. To listen to it, follow the same link as above. I hope you like it! It's not drastically different, It's just a TAD more complete. I can't wait to get the chance to record the vocal... |
| Victoria 15.08.2005 02:07 |
My computer doesn't want to download it. :( Could someone who has help me out, I'd love to hear it. Sounds like it's a crowd pleaser ;) |

Cant wait for the vocals. Victoria, if I can get permission from Dan (it is his song after all) I will upload it to either Rapidshare or yousendit for you, ok? |

i enjoyed listening to the piece of music too. there seem to be alot of people in bands here, maybe there should be somewhere set aside for their original music [or is there and i haven't seen it???????] |
| Daburcor? 15.08.2005 13:40 |
Okay, Here's a link to it on rapid share (I won't be keeping this up for long): link |
| Daburcor? 15.08.2005 14:01 |
The vocals will come as soon as I can get the equipment that I need. Sometime soon, I will post the lyrics though, As they're the best part of this particular song. They came from a very haunting dream I had a few months back. |
| Janet 15.08.2005 14:12 |
Sounding terrific Dan. I save all the little bits and pieces that you mail to me, so that I can sell them on ebay when you become rich and famous! ;-) edit* okay...maybe NOT on ebay ;-) |
| Daburcor? 15.08.2005 14:19 |
E-bay... I hope you have a good lawyer, Janet. ;) |
| Janet 15.08.2005 14:21 |
Yikes! *shiver* ;-) |
| Victoria 15.08.2005 16:51 |
Thank you so much for helping me out! :) It's downloading at this very moment ... *excitied* |
| Daburcor? 15.08.2005 17:25 |
No problem! I hope you enjoy it! :D |
| Victoria 15.08.2005 17:49 |
Good song, Dan. :) I like it, too. You like crash cymbals, don't you? Does your program have suspended ones? I think they might add something to it if you place some in the beginning, rather than the crashes. Just my thoughts on that. I really like what you do with them the rest of the time. Hope to be hearing more from you. |
| Daburcor? 15.08.2005 17:59 |
I know what you mean, And have thought of that quite a bit. Unfortunately, I don't THINK I have what I need. Not that I've sussed out yet, Anyhow. |
| Mr Mercury 16.08.2005 17:18 |
Still waiting for the vocals Dan. How you doing with that so far? |
| Erin 16.08.2005 18:20 |
Good work, Dan..:-) He composes music, he's an artist...what can't this guy do? |
| deleted user 17.08.2005 08:51 |
you are very talented. that was amazing. but ummm about the title... were you thinking about the bowie song? :) |

I'm glad you like it! As for the title, I was not thinking of the Bowie song (as much as I adore it). When I post the lyrics (hopefully soon) It will all become clear. ;) I'm very happy that everyone seems to be enjoying my song thus far! Though, It is still far from perfect. |
| Penis - Vagina 17.08.2005 13:15 |
I think it's good enough as an instrumental that you should definitely include it when you do your Greatest Karaoke Hits package.. but that's probably a few years down the line. |
| Daburcor? 17.08.2005 13:21 |
Yeah... I think it'll be quite some time yet. ;) |
| Wundzun 17.08.2005 16:55 |
I really like that piece! You are very talented songwriter Dan, that's for sure :) I wonder what software did you use to record/mix it? And are there (I mean, in your song)some "real" instruments, or programmed samples only? |
| Daburcor? 17.08.2005 17:18 |
I use quite a few different programs for my music. Two of the main ones are Cubase SX and Adobe Audition. Most of the piano is real (I have a digital piano, So I didn't need a microphone to record it. I can plug it right into the computer). But, There ARE little bits of it that are programed. For the instruments that I don't have/don't know how to play (and that is all but piano) I mainly use VSTi. |
| Mr Mercury 18.08.2005 17:25 |
Dan, heres something you might wanna check out. Its probably the best sounding "guitar" keyboards sound I've heard yet - and I am a guitar player!! It might help when you are looking for some different guitar sounds for any songs you do. Its at link If you click on downloads - Listen , you should find some video demo's there to show you what can be achieved Dave |
| Daburcor? 19.08.2005 03:57 |
Ah yes, Real Guitar. I LOVE that program. I use it quite a bit! Here's a sample of a song I used it on: link *By the way, You have to right click and "Save as..." to be able to download it. |
