A dark little ditty of a song and strangely compelling. I liked it.
Lodato
(note: being acknowledged by professional musicians certainly adds some salt)
spill blood
Good structure. Good rhyming pattern. I like the guitar solo.
Strong chorus...
Overall, good hard rock song.

Hi Bernd. I was really drawn in by the lyrics of this song as they are really strong and I related to them instantly. I also really like the sort of "spoken word" style that you employ here in singing the song. It's almost as if you're acting out the character and I found it to be a unique element. The guitar work was also solid and really added another level of enjoyment to the song. Nice job.
Bobby
I am hearing an edgy song...I like it.
The melody is quite attractive.
Stan
Hey, that's a nice guitar riff -- has that Jimi Hendrix feel to it...
Kevin
who I am
This song has a lot of potential. Some good lyrics and solid melodies. Like the music. Good work.
Michael
Good structure. Good melody. Good write.
Guy
what use are colors
What a cool track man! It has hints of so many things I like...
Your guitar was cool now just find the right vocalist to give this a crack, that will naturally strengthen the whole thing... You could mess with the timing here there to make it tighter but DO NOT do so if it loses the cool live vibe. Sometimes in between is hard, either be really tight or kinda loose.
All the best that was nice musical surprise. Could be made into a monster track for sure ...
Mike
glad that you're here
Yes, this is a pleasant song. A very refreshing sound, liked it all... GOOD JOB !
Calvin
This is neat, different and neat! Very intriguing, and I just love the feel of this one. Poetic and it works. Thanks for sharing.
Douglas
Bernd, at first I wasn't sure about it, then I listened to it again. Nice, very sweet, relaxing. I like the words a lot, very different. Good job. God Bless
Elaine
you were my dream
Hey good riffs are sometimes hard to come by -- that's a good riff.
Kevin
sense of recognition
I like the way you put this song together. Very tight production, the guitar answering every line, it just sounds great. Very good job all the way around.
Hello Bernd,
I like this song, man - got a dramatic feel to it. Sort of a Floyd meets Kraftwerk kind of thing. Nice one

Top of the morning, Bernd - I listened to this song several days ago and it’s stayed on my mind ever since, and that’s a pretty high compliment from me because I tend to bounce around like a ping-pong ball on a sugar rush lol I’ve actually had it on my mind to compliment you on it, I just haven’t been able to get back to the strand. The thematic vehicle that you’ve hatched here is brilliant and I love the way that you just hop in it and drive around...
Good work on this one, Bernd - I’m very glad that you shared it.
Ray
That was an interesting piece. It is a bit different from the norm. I’ll be listening to it again. Good job.
Hello Bernd,
I’ve just got around to listening to this and really liked it - it has something about it that I really like, but I can’t put my finger on it yet! I’ll have to have another listen when I’ve got a bit more time (things are a bit busy here at the moment).
Nice one
Cef.
Spartacus
warm voice , i like the vocal mastering it is original, guitar sing well too, outro is excellent but song is short
Samana
Ganymede
Hey Bernd, you translated the story to lyric very well, has a Greek epic
vibe going on but thankfully not the longevity, I was surprised how
well it worked as a folk song and I should not have been, folk has
been the vehicle for telling such stories for generations, in fact it's
how a lot of old stories have survived, very good, enjoyed it,
Tony.
Thanks for opening my eyes to the story of Ganymede. A friend of mine produced a play about Heracles & the Hydra a number of years back and it sparked in interest in these things. As Tony mentioned you did a really good job with conversion, and I’m thinking that folk was the perfect choice for this one. You are a really talented songwriter.
Donovan
I like what I'm hearing on this song. You seem to have a very good base on all of your songs - these tunes would be excellent if they were done with a full band of seasoned musicians. I am adding this one to my faves!
Eric
(note: he did...)
Cool story telling. Is this from a classic tale? It sounds a little familiar to me. Nice guitar work as well. I do believe the quality of your recordings should be better just for esthetic reason and for enjoyment purposes. You music derserves it.
Rich
(note: there is some criticism on my performance here, but then it's Lodato again - he's a professional, he's supposed to know)
no future - no past
Very nice. It reminds me of "Sgt. Pepper"'s songs a bit, like "When I'm 64". Very pleasant to listen to. The lyrics are very mature. One can see you've got some experience left behind.

you are the light
Cool guitar hook and I like the way you used it with and around the vocals. Some good lyrics too.
Michael
Gilgamesh
I absolutely love it, and the vocal are perfect for it, great stumming ... just a perfect folk song that will someday be part of the traditional genre I think .... Perfect !!!
Don
LOL, I feel like I've been to a history class -- but luckily the professor was exciting and fun and made the past come alive. I applaud your choice of topics and recording tunes like this -- it is mighty cool.
Kevin
rows in a row
It was a pleasant surprise to have such a "rock and roll" song. It sounds like you had a lot of fun putting this together. One of the trademarks of "Rolling Stones" types of songs (I am putting this one in that category) is the interplay between the guitars, or maybe better called: the multi-layering of guitars...
Fun stuff, with just a little work, it could sound really good...
Kevin
nice rock'n roll guitars. There are moments when they're not exactly on time, though, but that's no deal breaker as a pro production can take care of that. i quite like the style (Stones, yes)...
That's a good story. You already have most of the lines to tell it well. But you may want to give us the information in another order, so the story is clearer. Your song has potential...
Yann
Good morning, love
Hi Bernd,
Nice melody you have here. I really enjoyed your guitar break too. I wish there had been more of that, in fact.
Matt
listen to the river
Hi Bernd, thanks for doing something very different for on here and using other influences and inspirations for your songs...
As a piece of art music I quite like it, even though I don't like Yes or a lot of other prog rock groups. It has some decent melodies in a melancholy fashion, slightly reminiscent of Peter Hammil...
Yes very different ! -- I really enjoy your guitar playing and the small picking runs.... very pleasing work in that regard.
Joyce
Hello Bernd
The musical arrangement is great and Joice is right about those guitar runs.
Just an outstanding song.
Nelson
Bernd, Refreshing. I enjoyed listening to something different and original. I like the hook, "listen to the river". And the spiritual bent of the song.
Good job.
Dan
