Progressive Rock Song.
This is the re-make of Progressive ( Demo). Now it has lyrics.

I mixed many styles and influences to make it interesting to listen. You will find all kind rock styles, plus some samba and jazz and some ballad part.

The song is long, but I PROMISE you WON'T get BORED.

Really worked hard to make a good sound quality, considering my sources are just my electric guitar with a multi-effect, my $3 mic and my PC.

Wanna thank to PuppetXeno, Sworfish and TritonKeyboarder who gave some advices to improve the sound of this.

Guess the lyrics and vocals are not my strongest point but I did was I was able to.

Please, listen it till the end. You won't get bored. And use headphones if you have, sounds better that way.

PS: Here goes lyrics:

 Let me take you to a place
Where nothing can harm you
No lines between pain and love

Forget about the fear your feel
Clear your mind and then enjoy
Have the time of your life

Music is the blood that
Runs thru’ your veins
Feel it spreading all over you

Warm rushing in
Overtaking your senses
Your soul comes alive!

Run away
Quickly
Rush away
And don’t return

Life is now
As it was then
But you are alone
You have no friend

When you feel a knife
Is stabbed in your back,
Just relax cause it’s me

Don’t try to run  or to hide
Cause you have fallen
Into my mental trap


DON'T FORGET TO VOTE!

WOW, I'm really impressed to see how the quality has improved!

your vocals sound really great, considering the fact that they were done with a $3 mic, it's amazing! I'm glad to find those suggestions worked out so well!

Awesome, really! it's a great mix, a very well constructed piece of work indeed!

you probably did as good a job as ever possible with the current equipment you have, it's really great!

I'm pretty much writing this as I'm listening to the song. The begginnig has me interested right away with the deep moody keyboard sound and then the guitar solo comes in and sounds very sweet. The solo continues and changes feel a little to become more complex - seems to have become slightly detached from the original mood.

The keyboard has faded out - I expected the song to kick in with the same power. The contrast of going from all that bass power to no bass at all was a bit of a suprise, but now the bass guitar starts playing and fattens the sound up again.

Now I'm listening to some reall cool tight heavy riffs. The singing is ok - everything is in tune. Theres a very nice picked riff over the verses now - liking that sound a lot.

The diveristy of styles I'm hearing is making this song into an epic track - the mix here is remarkable - the way it steps into and out of styles.

Just love the swinging part around 8:00

All the playing on this is excellent, the sound has turned out really well - you must have had some good advice. I'm suprised at the quality of the vocals considering the mic you were using.

A very well thought out piece, nicely put together and produced - it's obvious that you worked hard on this. Well done!

Ok here is what I think while listening to the song for the first time, I'm not bored it's a fact ! But you must experiment a lot more with your effects and trying to get a warmer sound with the guitar wich will give more sensibility to the playing. And as I said before, you still have to perfect your ear to be more precise but I can hear progress and very good ones.
Your skills for composing are good too in anyway you're on the way man. Nice job I really enjoy listening to it.

Thanks for Feedback!
Like when you appreciate a hard work.
For Lucky: Well, I have a very bad sound card so the guitar won't ever sound good, no matter which f¿effect I use on it... May be the fact of using a of Chorus made it sound like that, but I wanted a more progressive sound ( Alex Lifeson uses a lot of Chorus, so I tried with that).
But thanks again for all your feedback. Gonna keep working on more songs, some acoustic and some rockers... and some International Collaborations.
