very nice haunting song. but it scared me a wee bit. Still liked it, Cheery
Great song. I know I love a song when I can picture what the Video would look like in my head. It's a Beautiful Sunday Afternoon song.
Really great track!...Love the vocals, and the organ sounds great just behind. excellent bass sound, and the acoustic is perfect too!..Top production,,,top song!..Well done!...Great stuff!
I don't think there's a track on here that i don't like.So refreshing to hear something like this.Only thing to compare it with would be Crash test dummies! My profile is Jay if you are interested! cheers!!
:-) Nothing more to say.
Ker-ching!
Really really nice This is the first track I listened to, and I'm hooked. Look forward to your CD release. I am also walking wounded in Japan. I live in Sagamihara. You? Any gigs comming up? (Need an opening act?) I'd really like to get into the local "gaijin" music scene. You can check out some of my bad recordings of I feel decent songs on my page sometime of you like here: http://www.mp3unsigned.com/Showband.asp?id=14099 Hope to meet you sometime.
Back for a download!
Jon, faaantastic! (To draw attention to the fan in faaantastic) Well, please make this the last track in your next album - to lift it into the sunset, like 'Tide is turning' on 'Radio KAOS' and put a fade finish on it. What great production it has, I'm with LJ on the 'more is more' approach. One day I will buy all this music I've been intending to. Really.
Hey, nice song. Agreeing, the drums lift the overall mood, but I always did hear a dance in it. The tambourine is placed in spots that say 'hey, wake-up !' ...I like that. Glad for Doug's contribution. And good to see you around, Jon.
love that lonesome tambourine as well, the lyrics whoo match that guitar xx
Great stuff - I like the 'more is more' approach!
Nice to have you back mate! YOu can't beat live drums can you. Mind you, a great song is a great song, come what may but this does sound rather more complete now. Graham
It's true it has a positive lift to it. Very sweet, youre flying there dear friend, big smile on my face, and the grungey guitar is wonderful. This could be the first track its terrific. peace Virginia xx
Nice mellow tune,Easy on the ears.You have a powerfull voice,I dont recall listening to any of your stuff before so glad I tripped over this.Nice job.
Love the vocal delivery - suits the sentiments of the song very nicely - the song has a good emotional pull. Another fine job.
Great new version. The drums actually lift the mood a bit too. You could even slow dance to this now. Aww, where a bird when you need one.
WOW! Absolutely awesome! I loved the original version to bits, but the change with the drums, and extra tweaking has taking it even further! Can you tell I love your stuff ;o) Yet again a winner, can't fault it at all. ONAGER
UPDATE: Album is now available from my store page (red button at the top).
Thanks for taking the time to check out my page – I hope you weren’t too disappointed. I thought it was about time I updated this bio as it’s now so out of date, and the excuse that ‘I’m still new to all this’ is no longer mine to use. If it’s c**p it's because I’m c**p.
One reviewer said: "Awesome, beautiful, smooth, soothing, relaxing, emotional and very real - like a real person placing themselves into the music and not trying to do it for some hidden purpose like money or fame - just someone being themself in their music. Absolutely refreshing." (Micheal Frazier, Soundclick boards)
I guess none of us can be right all of the time ;-)
A shot of the 'artist' in his vest:
Pretty sexy, eh. That should put you all off nicely.
Cheers anyway J
If you look up “self-effacing” in the dictionary, none of the synonyms offered really cut the mustard. Timid, shy, modest, coy. Well, yes, sort of but no, it’s none of those things, either. Self-effacing is something rather more, psychologically, than modest. It’s a very definite down-playing of one’s ability whereas modesty, at least to me, is simply an absence of promoting oneself.Now, on MP3Uns
Butterfly by The Foreboding Back in 1963 an unknown author called John Fowles published his first book called “The Collector”. It is about a man called Frederick Clegg (the butterfly collector of the title) who decides to “collect” the object of his fantasy, Miranda Grey. Miranda (an art student) is imprisoned in Frederick’s basement where, although she is a prisoner, she is tr
The Foreboding (one guy called Jon actually) describe themselves thus on Soundclick 'sort of Leonard Cohen/Nick Drake but without the lyrical brilliance or the musical virtuosity' Partly true I'd say. The part that would be true is the musical references to Cohen and Nick Drake. Lyrically and musically, The Foreboding so obviously displays those influences it would be ridiculous
I’ve been a fan of The Foreboding’s music since I first heard it. However, I’ll try to be objective :-) As is typical with Jon’s material, his gorgeous guitar picking and strumming dominates the track. Without a clearly defined verse – chorus format, the track ambles along very pleasantly, picking you up and taking you along with it, before setting you down again gently at the
From the very first time I heard this track to everytime I play it, which is often, I'm enchanted and taken to a greater understanding of the human soul. Open and exposed, yet so willingly to share something as deep as a love personal between 2 souls. Poignant yet enough mystery to be cryptic. Stylish, yet not cliched. Soft, yet deeply wounding. All that remains is to just lis
Us big city folk over at Soundclick think we have it good, don't we? Here we are on a site that is BURSTING at the seams with truly incredible talent, and we are part of that. Well, guess what? Soundclick is but a bigger 'burb is all; there are loads of sites around where you can find talent equally as good, equally as inventive as anything you will find on Soundclick. Whil
‘Come Rest Your Head’ – a few wordies from Spyda If this song doesn’t prove to everyone who hears it that MP3Unsigned has got a future star in it’s midst then there’s absolutely no hope for anyone!!! John of The Foreboding has produced what I consider to be his best song ever with ‘Come Rest Your Head’. A song that seems to me to be about a mans emotions & the deep feel
The Foreboding - Wasted Wings Musings Before anything else is written - yes! The Foreboding's vocal style does resemble Lou Reid to a certain extent (perhaps with echoes of Nick Cave and Edwyn Collins). It's a voice that is seldom heard in this modern, plastic-fantastic age of throw-away boy band minipops! where vocals styles are conditioned, trained, and digitally altered to resemble
Here's an artist who - like me - divides his time between several forums, although in this particular case I picked this track up over at MP3 Unsigned.com. Other than knowing that The Foreboding is a guy called Jon who just happens to live in Japan I know nothing else about him. I did have the good fortune to review his Counting The Beats track in August of last year and liked it very much, even
The Foreboding, Jon. I came across 'You Should Know' by chance. Just recently joining MP3unsigned.com, I was browsing the artists. Listening to artists whose name caught my fancy. Such is how I found The Foreboding, and noticed 12 comments and the 9.5 rating and thought I'd give it a listen. Since then, I have listened to 'You Should Know' around 30 times. I know with the new review syste
