Hello all!
Okay. I like music, I love listening to it. I thought...it can't be that hard to do! Right? A professional musician friend of mind encourages me, for some reason, to get into it...
"Can't be that hard"....I was wrong. Very wrong. Between trying to navigate unfamiliar territory of Cubase, fiddling with untrained fingers on my midi controller, coming up with lyrics that are not cliche (well, I threw that out the window! as you will see), forming some semblance of song structure, not to mention I can't tell you how many times I've tried to tweak different parts so that they sit at least "alright" in the mix...I am going crazy. However, I am quite pleased that at least, I feel, I am learning. Months ago I couldn't get past a quarter section of a loop as far as composition, yikes!
This is the closest to an original song that I have ever made alllll by my lonesome.
So. I am quite aware of my tendency to kind of ramble on incessantly, in writing, which translates to my lyrical speech. I am curious if for this particular song I have attempted, do you feel there needs to be more air to breathe vocally, or, is it okay?
I am open to all criticism. Also, on the vox, too, even though I know that fits into a different thread. But maybe I'll repost there at a later time.
Now, on to the theme of the song, I think it is pretty obvious but I will clarify just for the heck of it. The song is titled "sex sells" and the vocal character has the persona of some type of sex worker, be it a stripper, escort, etc, etc. The lyrics are available in the description area of the track in SoundCloud, here https://soundcloud.com/besthellbunny/sex-sells-v-4.
Thanks for reading/listening/being open minded and helping me out with your feedback. ^__^
