ric, i tried to access some of your stuff and i wasn't able to. you might want to check your link.

hey ric. i forgot i even added this post and just came back, so haven't your stuff or anybody else's. i'll try to tonight (parents are staying with me this week). i appreciate your time going through both songs so thouroghly. at this point i am basically writing and recording my songs for me, so while i know that songs that are too long don't get played on the radio, i'm not really shooting for that. i have edited stuff in the past for radio, and have no problem in doing that. the end of "unsafe" i think of as a coda, like the end of layla. it was meant to be shorter but ideas started flowing and the lead guitarist and i started building this new melodic idea,and what can i say.....i'm a sucker for operatic solos. "you already are" . the long intro is something i had noted and almost cut, but everytime i was preparing to do so i was wrapped up in the mood that it creates (you know, self stroking) and kept it. i felt that the song needed to stay restrained, kind of like bubbling under the surface, even in the instrumental portion, where i feel i did manage to build the tension with different layers, but no real "solo". thanks, conincidentally you did choose the 2 slowest songs on the site, but they are 2 of my favorites. i'll give you feedback on your stuff as soon as i get a chance.

hey, just landed on this thread. my work computer blocks everything music related at work so i can't listen to anything until i get home. i'll give it a whirl this weekend. in the meantime feel free to listen to my stuff at www.vicpichardo.com and bash/praise me
