December 2023 Challenge Response – Reinhard H

[Reinhard H]

At first: all the best wishes for a good year 2024 for the whole AM community.
Second: I have to apologize that I could not create a link from YT or others to my pepared video. My video had not the quality, for the whole world to see and judge it. So I decided to upload only a mp3-file with a song I wrote last year. When somebody asks me to play something, it is one of my favorites…

The guitar part is not complicated, it is all strumming. Key is Am with capo 2., so its real Bm. The challenge was to find the right chord progression for some sad and sorrowful lyrics. It is about strange people, that make trouble in your head – but that might be only a nightmare… however, you need some help by any remedy.
The title is: Give me any Remedy, recorded with 2 guitars & bass. You may find an advanced version on the music platforms under my artist name Ragged Jukebox. YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hF5_8vBwl3w
or some links in my website http://www.raggedjukebox.com

Please enjoy. Best Regards Reinhard

Hey Reinhard, that song is from the heart without a doubt. I think we all feel like that sometimes :). Did you do the artwork? Really creative submission and minor key fits well. Happy New Year and pleasant dreams in 2024. Pap

[Reinhard H]

Hey Pap, thank you. Happy New Year… I hope these nightmares will not occur so often.
The artwork did my daughter Carolina, she has an Instagram account blackthorn_art

If you’re interested: in my opinion the covers of the songs “Dance like Devils” and “Dust from the Stars” are her best artworks – for me.


Best Regards Reinhard

Way to go Richard! An original – well done! Dark and melodic – you nailed. Nice voice over the chord progression too.

Very nice composition and performance Reinhard. It’s very well recorded with a catchy melody, and I especially like how you matched your vocal phrasing with the music rhythm. Great work. Cheers, Tom

[Reinhard H]

Thank you Tom,
I hope the remedy in this case was not so much alcoholic… I’m glad that some people liked this piece of music. I’ve done my very best…Cheers!

[Martin W]

Nice work .

Very nice tune, singing, playing, harmonizing, etc. And you wrote it yourself! Very well done indeed.

An original and good one too! Really enjoyed that!

[Michael L]

Hi Reinhard, I always love hearing original music from our AM members. The creativity here is amazing, and your song is very well composed. I enjoyed it!

[Reinhard H]

Hey Michael,
thank you so much. Last year I published 11 original songs on the music platforms. I hope this year I can create a one, that many more people want to hear… I hope so…
Regards Reinhard
