Hey all, I'm looking for some input on a new song. I'm not quite sure what to think of this one - I'm hardly a prolific songwriter, so it would be funny to say that I have a "method"... but if I did, I guess it would be that I generally spend a lot of time with a song, so by the time I'm done I have a good idea of whether I like it or not.
This one was different... It was basically a situation of, "Write whatever, sing whatever, play whatever, and see what comes out". And by the time I was done, I actually kind of liked what I had.
I'm really looking for input on the song, not the recording. In the interest of getting the recording down as quickly as possible, I left in all kinds of noise and hiss (it's really not as bad as I'm making it sound). I thought I was just fooling around - I didn't really expect to like the final product.
Let me know what your thoughts are, whatever they might be - but here are my primary questions. One, is the song any good? And two, should I add to it or keep it as is? I wouldn't want the song to be too terribly much longer, because the other pieces I'm working on right now are all five to six minutes. But I could easily do another verse and chorus, giving the song an A-B-A-B pattern. I could also write a new melodic line for the next verse, making the song A-B-C-B.
So, let me know what you think. Thanks, everyone!
The song is called "How To Acheive Your Goals Without Actually Trying". The file is 2.61 megabytes.
