| GawgaBoy (State of Confusion) | Posted: Apr 08, 2011 - 19:56 I was surprised in the 6+ years that I have been hanging around RP this has never caught my ear to even be rated, but as I read thru the comments, it looks like it has been played very sparsely. I caught another Gooding tune the other day that made me do some research on him. Go to Artist Info, Wikipedia does not appear to have a page for him. A very interesting path for the young man and very enjoyable music. Thank you Bill and Rebecca, more Gooding in the rotation would be a good thing, IMHO. |

If you've worked hard enough at a craft to make a record and get broadcast on any media vehicle, and radioparadise.com is a pretty nice vehicle, then you deserve some credit and respect. If you blossom into a musician—and this will happen only after a lot of hard work and paying attention to other musicians, you will understand that musicians don't dump on other musicians. You get it, and you get that they get it. As for the fans, well, like it or not, they're the ones who are going to buy tickets to your gigs and your recordings. In our shared world, purchasing power evidently accords fans the privilege of calling musicians they don't "like" names and such. The heckler in the audience with a bag of rotten tomatoes has become a fact of the entertaining life. He may be one of your "lazy creeps," but he bought a ticket. Welcome to our world. I hope you succeed, denbear. Everyone's world needs more music and the folks who make it. |

How it got here I don't know. if everything that is broadcasted deserves respect, we are in a world where every effort deserves respect. Well, thats philosophy. In my opinion there is sometimes on air that really sucks. (maybe that also deserves respect). But this song: I like it - its pretty good, a 7. (and now give me some respect, guys  |

| kaz (mostly US) | Posted: Mar 28, 2008 - 21:40 Thought it was another Peter Gabriel tune from his selling out period... |
| smehan55 (Beneath a Carolina blue sky) | Posted: Feb 26, 2008 - 09:26 That's good for about 10 seconds. More than that and it starts to sound like "loopers delight." ZZZZZZZZ |

| fretman | Posted: Jan 30, 2007 - 20:31 Interesting slide guitar work here... very subtly textured in. Nice. |
| chirpie (olathe, kansas) | Posted: Nov 04, 2006 - 08:10 FREAKY! I was thinking of Digging in the Dirt by PG too! It's not just the baseline but the guitar goes there at times too. The drum pattern too! But I still like it. ^_^ davyjrshort wrote: Yes, I first thought that was what was coming a few seconds into this song, I still like it but I wonder did he do work with/for PG? |

"Something in me, dark and sticky All the time it's getting strong No way of dealing with this feeling Can't go on like this too long" Seems like a lot of others were as well. See what happens when you rip off PG? Yes, I first thought that was what was coming a few seconds into this song, I still like it but I wonder did he do work with/for PG? |

| olsaltybastard | Posted: Jan 01, 2006 - 00:58 I'm a sucker for slide guitar. |
| ideola | Posted: Nov 18, 2005 - 08:03 This is pretty good, but there are better Gooding songs out there that don't get airplay on RP (Harm's Way, Little America). |

| zborgerd (OH) | Posted: Nov 17, 2003 - 18:22 I really like Gooding, but this tune focuses a bit too much on the percussion, which itself sounds artificial. Normally, that's not a problem, because Gooding does a good job of blending synthesized backing to some sort of blues or world guitar, but this one doesn't work too well. I really like the slide guitar though. It's really the focal point of the song, but the percussion just drowns it out too much. |
| Monkeysdad (Chatsworth, CA) | Posted: Oct 07, 2003 - 15:54 Is this Peter Gabriel with the vocals scrubbed? |
| LEFTY6 (DOWN WELL TRODDEN CORRIDOR INTO THE VALLEY OF STEEL) | Posted: Sep 17, 2003 - 05:38 The drum track is killing me. Wouldn't be so bad if it didn't have such a processed/manufactured sound. |
| Brad_Eleven (Richmond, TX) | Posted: Jul 28, 2003 - 06:46 Amazing. Sounds like something from everyone that Eno produced in the Eighties with a Peter Gabriel worldbeat feel. Not that I mean to pigeonhole the work, it's pleasantly derivative, with extra textures. Someone else said s/he was waiting for a meaty guitar to show up (a la PG's Digging in the Dirt), but Gooding chose a crisply processed acoustic guitar. I like it. It's inspiring to hear the familiar elements arranged with the new, both for this song and for RP (since I started typing, a Bryan Ferry rendition of Goin' Down has started playing). |
| nielsen (Gothenburg) | Posted: Jul 28, 2003 - 06:43 It's pretty good, but a little too instrumental... =) |
| philarktos (Vancouver) | Posted: Jun 17, 2003 - 10:51 Been waiting to hear more from Gooding since being totally blown away by "First Lullabye" here on RP This doesn't have the same impact because it's not as focussed, but it's a brilliant tapestry of all kinds of musical styles and influences in unexpected juxtaposition. I see it was first played here some time ago, but it's new to me, and I tune in a lot. I'd say it's sufficiently unique to be worthy of quite a bit more play.   |
| 242glt (Jackson, MS) | Posted: Jun 17, 2003 - 10:40 Is this on Real World? Are Peter, Manu, Dave & Tony around there somewhere? Not that it sounds like a ripoff. I love it! Keep it coming , Bill. |
| (former member) (Shadow Valley Condos) | Posted: Apr 27, 2003 - 10:16 I keep waiting for the guitars to crunch in at the beginning and to hear "This time you've gone too far! I told ya, I told ya, I told ya!" :) |
