So...harpsichord. Feedback guitar. Rock vocals. Kpop influences. Lotsa synths. Sound effects. The lyrics warn an arrogant dude. Is this like the music I normally do? No, but then again, none of it is. Enjoy! (Oh right, it's YouTube... by law, I'm required to say "Click Like and Subscribe." There. I said it.)

Dude! This is really cool! Kinda reminds me of something Peter Gabriel might have done back in his 80s hey day. Bizarre, yet catchy. Very cool. Also, love your use of Vegas for the lyric video. I'd recognize those text transitions anywhere. (I use it for all of mine too).
 
Nice production - sounds great thru my PS8s (y)
 
Outstanding Craig. Thanks so much for posting the references to your S1 Tips and Tricks book. Very helpful. Ever the teacher. Cheers!
