Lovely song, really!
This collaboration worked really good. Your voices sounds awesome together and the sounds Taka did were great. And that violin is amazing.
This was pretty pretty good. Liked it a lot!

wowow, lovely it is indeed! those instrumentals are very well done... I love how it starts out with that analog drum machine and plain acoustic guitar, and then evolves into a complex texture of sounds and flavors and... very world-music like, with the violin and the spanish-type guitar.

great vocals... care to post the lyrics? I can't really decypher everything that well

but... as for voting... I guess it ends up being rather high

ah yes... listening now after taking a break from it for a bit...

heh.. I was having tech problems... one of them being my left and right speakers playing backwards during mixing.... so it all sounds backwards to me

anyway... getting on with it... I really like the song.

and now I must critique myself... the only big problem I think I should mention is my guitar... solo... thingy... it's out of tune.. a lot... but there wasn't really much I could do. it was my $15 silvertone tenor... I'm surprised it lasted through the entire 8 measures without disintegrating completely.

heh.. as for the rest... good work spoon!! it was a blast!!

...and here are the lyrics Puppet:

Verse 1

I often think about strange things
The twist that innovation brings
It’s a phase you say I’m going through
But a phase is change I’m warning you    mm mm mm

Chorus
Sometimes we think our thoughts are just a drop in the bucket
But Liza says just mend it dear just mend it dear, just mend it dear   mm mm mm

Verse 2
I often contemplate the rain
And how it makes people complain
And it seems a hassle getting wet
But who says dry is paying off our debt    mm mm mm

Chorus 2
Sometimes we think it all pours out and we can never mend it
But Liza says with a stone my dear, with a stone my dear, just get a stone my dear   mm mm mm

Verse 3
I often analyze the truth
And how the listener’s needing proof
It’s a game of words that’s often played
But a game’s not real it’s only what we’ve made   mm mm mm

Hey hey really good one I love it .... what can I say ....
A game's not real it's only what we've made  mm mm mm ..........

the building up at first is impressive! and what follows too, all very pro, and nice too

love the arrangement, vocals are awesome, maybe(!) Tak's voice could be treated better....not sure here, just trying to be helpfull, its lovely anyway

love the guitarsolo! fiddle too of course..

just getting better, 3th time now..,

playlist...!

okay....I love this! It is inventive, energetic, and absolutely unique. Love the lyric content, the vocal delivery. The instrumentation is excellent (I'm crazy about that acoustic guitar in the beginning and threaded throughout the song...whoever is playing that is doing a really fine job). Taka's influence is clearly seen in this piece (which is a delight) with the rich textures of sounds, the intricate counter-melodies...the "ebb and flow" qualities...pure Taka.  My only criticism would have something to do with the mix. In my opinion, the instruments may be a little too far up in the mix and competing with the vocals somewhat, and like Max said, Taka's voice could use a little tweaking in the mix (maybe a little compression....I'm not sure) as well. Also, I would be tempted to saturate that percussive sound at 2:45 (...when it's just the guitar and some percussive effect..) with reverb. This song makes me want to dance (like Greek people do at weddings, you know?)

totally cool.This is excellent, instrumentation ,noddle synth line acc git violin very impressive.infectious
Collaborations yeah, the instrumental section very global.
And spoon your vox is full of character warmth with those magic silver edges.
gifted .
"But a game’s not real it’s only what we’ve made   mm mm mm"
you've certainly made a good one here.

Let me say.....


   That I am very impressed..... This is cool... and works well.......


                               Collaborations are great aren't they...
If your like me, you'll be hooked...  I can't stop... must do more..
