Well - I made it to the end. I like it, the vocals have a real soulful feel. She's a good singer. The overall mix is pretty basic, like it needs something to break it up. I'm thinking a sax or clean guitar lead here and there.
 
beautiful Sjoko.. I don't care much for her voice, but the sound is great...
 
Great tracking. I must admit, she can wail over two chords, like nobody else. Awfully reminessant of "Do You Believe"...the same style two chord pattern, and unfortunately thru the whole song. You need a bridge, a B section, some interludes, seques...whatever. Add a couple more musical sections, I'm sure Uru will wail with what ever is presented to her, and the song goes up a couple notches instantly. Btw...couldn't you get a "name" drummer on "Do You Believe"?:p
 
please sir!! forgive me! Its only a demo, I'll put some music with it honestly!:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o

a name drummer? I dunno. see, this guy really wanted to be in Uru's band, and then he moved to Santa Barbara as well, so I just don't have the heart to kick him out. He's on the wrong side of 50 and he says he's been trying hard all his life... I know, I know, sometimes having a heart puts you on the wrong side of success:confused:

Ha!....I knew a guy who did that religous stuff....said words like "prick"...everyone told him he was a hyprocrite for saying such things, he wanted a heart, like the feline in the "Wizard of Oz"...but instead, only owned a bunch of guitars.:( His success was telling extremely talanted people his opinions, and actually getting replies. Can you imagine that?;)
 
that explains why I've never owned a guitar then - thanks.
I'm all depressed now. Does all this mean I have to learn another chord? That sucks. I always thought twowilldo:mad:
 
hhmmm.... haven't heard of the three chord song, have we??..

G- L- O- R- I- A...........

hmm,

sounds too similar to Do You Believe. that was my first thoughts.

sounds good, although i dont like the arrangments of the stereo backing vocals, and uru is quite off key on them (allthough i know it doesn't matter for demo purposes).

those drums sound very yamaha-rey.i say that because im sure i recognise that snare.

i dont really care for the parts where uru impros on her own. it's great for her, but the adlibs need to be arranged a little more in my opinion. that adlib at 4:14 really annoyed me, im not sure about anyone else. ive noticed a lot of uru's stuff has a particular fashion, one section, wide backing vocals, another section, then the rest of the song is Uru improvising. i think it just needs a fresh approach in some way.

just my opinino. never the less, a nice song.

ps.

when are you going to record the final versions to these tracks? that's what im interested in hearing!
 
listen to the BV on the right especially. for definite.

i didin't mean it in a nasty way, just pointing it out.
 
sorry, i guess i must have given off the wrong idea. when i said quite off key, i wasn't talking major tones or anything. but it IS out. listen at about 1:40.

oh, was it a yamaha kit?
 
LOL No - not a Yamaha kit, an Aynsley hit
And no - its definately not out of tune. I'm afraid you are talking to someone cursed with perfect pitch here :) don't believe me? put an autotune on a sampl and you'll see
 
are we talking about the snare drum? cus ive heard that exact snare on a thousand yamaha keyboards. fair enough if its not.

i too have perfect pitch.

it sounds out compared with the other harmonies.
 
sjoko, sorry man, it's not the actaul snare hit im talking about, it's that other snare sorta rolling int he background.
