Definitely my favourite overall so far. (Although still like the visuals of the Batman Asylum video...)

This song would work great in a self-aware romantic comedy parody. You know, during the scene where the girl is moping around about 3/4 into the movie just before someone tells her to "win him back" or she realizes that it's *this* guy who is her true love after all or whatever.

Kudos, Ms. Mayes. On the off-chance you're reading this, I'd just like to say that this particular song now holds a special place in my heart just above 'Hank Bodaire's Lament'. The upbeat melody and generally sunny (I hope that makes sense) feeling of the song really make it stay in the mind; and the midly accelerated beat (is that a 5:4?) make it the sort of tune people with ADHD thump out on their desks during work hours.

In short: I liked it. Thank you.
If your talking about 5/4 the time signature then i *think* its in common time not 5/4 time could be wrong however.
That's what I'm talking about-- but it just seems a bit faster than some of the other ones she's done in common time (compare this to, say, Overlord 2 or Arkham Asylum).

Great song :)

Very catchy and well produced.

Nice to see some video footage of the game too. I think all the videos should at least show a bit of the game.

Cheered my day up. Thanks Rebecca.

I have to say, I think ms. Mayes is one of the most talanted "non-famous" singers I know (and I actually know a few) And you really deserve a record deal : )
(if you want one that is...)

I just have one question: when are the mp3's for these songs coming out?! I feel my iPod is not complete without your fantastic songs! please! :D
[sub]also: "in love with my therapist" The look on your face makes me want to be a therapist so badly!^^[/sub]

EDIT: and the dress you wear is gorgeous!

Beautiful... the song too :)

Rebecca+My favorite series=Win

Edit:

I visited her blog, she has a video named The infurous case of Mr Kyle Hyde, or somehitng like that, is that a game or a person? if he's a person then im jealous xD. She appears more in that video than in any other, from begining to end (4 min), and she looks even more adorable and fun <3

Too bad you dont get the attention you deserve here on the escapist, this is the most talented show here.

I'm not really into this style of music (more of a stoner/metal-head kinda guy) but something brings me back here every week...

I have to agree with some of the above comments: I really liked this one better than the last few weeks. Very catchy. I like them all though; keep 'em coming!

After the first one, I lost interest in this program. Glad to see I was wrong and that you're still making good music. Mellow and uses the instruments well. My kind of music, which probably helps, but the quality shines through here. I like that you mix up the stuffy, boring old routine of line, line, refrain, refrain, line, line, refrain etc. You change it up, and that's the measure of a good musician in my book.

Does anyone else think the opening to that game, regardless of whether the rest of it is good, seems kind of pretentious and show-offish? "WARNING! This game will read your mind and the game will play you as much as you play it. Woooo! I'm scary!"

You know my only serious complaint is how much of the video is just her standing around doing nothing game related or making any actual reference to the game.

I'm not saying she's not attractive but for the purpose the song I'd prefer they just nix her from the video altogether and made a video story out of scenes from the game. If anything she's just detracting from the video content.
Yeah it might have some of that but not a lot really, the only parts where she's standing doing nothing related to the game, for what i can see are the parts where she standing/dancing by the mic and playing guitar on the bed and in the attic. I liked those parts anyway.

You have quite the talent, that was lovely. I still get the sense that you're ashamed to be making music about videogames.
