These Fifty States- Free Single

[FatherOfTheMan Sr101]

I've been working very hard after my last album "Take a Break" on three projects.

-The first is a soundtrack for a game called "The Bulletromancer" a great new Shoot 'em up coming out later this year.
-The second is a new album, the concept and ideas are in place, but don't expect anything soon haha...

And finally, I was working on a single, I had several tracks as contenders, but these two certainly warranted release.

Now I present, These Fifty States/Copley Square

These Fifty States is an Americana Love song, it really feels very Brian/Van Dyke styled. I worked very hard on the lyrics, that seemed to be a major point of feedback after Take a Break.
I really love the instrumentation on this track, and I hope you do as well!

Copley Square is a tribute song focused on the obvious event in the place it's named after. Again, the lyrics are a major focus point here, as well as mixing the vocals higher. Speaking of vocals, you may notice I'm singing more of my "best" range now, rather then writing outside of it and trying to match it. So hopefully you enjoy! This track has more of a jam feeling, with basically two chords, something I'd really love to capture, as most of my tracks feel very "written" (which isn't necessarily bad haha, just need to mix it up a bit!)

I really really hope you guys enjoy these tracks, I'm really getting better with every song, thanks to feedback from everyone here and everywhere!

Oh, and I'm making this one free I love the tracks, enough to want as many people as possible to hear them, so grab a download, free!

...Just leave me some feedback, that stuff is priceless to me!

Hello, Mike! I checked your site & turns out the single cannot be downloaded for free, despite you clearly wrote that it CAN. Instead, the system requires to buy it. Maybe I see the wrong link? Anyway, I liked Copley Square, nice song with tasteful blues guitar licks and good vocals. Though tbh, it's not usually my type of music, am not into moody melodies. You've gathered enough stack of material so I'm sure you have some songs in major. The question is - what will you recommend to me from that collection, examples of such (upbeat) songs? Thanks in advance.

One addition: thematically, These Fifty States is excellent, great dedication to your land! I myself don't live in The USA, but I really love the country. And New York is in my Top-3 of American states. So you are lucky!

Clever trick, didn't know that it can be done like that. Every time I see those words, I think I need to buy it. Thanks for the tip. And thanks for the song suggestions, will check them.

On "Copley Square," I noticed a reference to Now and Then by John Lennon. Intentional?

Oh wow! I just noticed that! That's actually pretty cool, unintended, but nice!
The melody came from the chord, haha, I haven't heard that song in years!
Nice catch!
