***Update 6/25: No. 20 on top 30 tracks. HOLY SHIT! Thanks you guys! <3***

I know what you're thinking: "This isn't blues. Why is this under blues?" It's under blues because believe it or not, the structure of the song is based on the blues.

What I did was take the blues and "minored" it. To you non-musical people, it means it sounds much darker now. However, if you listen closely, you'll notice that there is still an essence of the stereotypical "blues sound" in the song.

"Amazing."

Iono what the dude down there is talking about not hearing the blues.
This IS the blues, and its beautiful. The flourish at 0:10 put a knowing smile on my face, heh. That was some song, man!

Long live minor blues! Try and get some really classic stuff in there:

ii7(b5) - V7(b9) - i(Ma7)

Its the classic minor 2-5-1, but use it when you are modulating between chords in minor blues, you will cry listening to it, lol. It's amazing. I ought to record some of my jazz stuff. :p

well. i love blues.. and it expresses a certain.. sadness.
your song just doesn't seem to give me that message.. I'm sorry.

yet still i'll give you a 7.. cause my old man plays music, and so i know its hard to create music from scratch.
this 7 is to show you my deepest respect for what you try.
keep it up man.. the world needs artists
