Hi all,

Wrote and recorded this heavily Alice in Chains-influenced song today - feedback most welcome:

Swear To God by Jonathan Linton 4 | Free Listening on SoundCloud

SWEAR TO GOD
(Words by Jonathan Linton, Music by Jonathan Linton)
I hereby swear this oath
To protect and serve
My own interest
It’s what I deserve

Just give me half a chance
And I’ll prove it
I swear to god

My goon squad acts in your interest
I swear to god
Won’t know what happened
‘Till I’m finished
I swear to god

I’ll bow my head in prayer and worship
So you can see
How good I act and I can fake it, religiously

And when I sin
Use the scriptures
Thanks to god

My goon squad acts in your interest
I swear to god
Won’t know what happened
‘Till I’m finished
I swear to god

SOLO

My goon squad acts in your interest
I swear to god
Won’t know what happened
‘Till I’m finished
I swear to god

[Presidential inauguration]

I swear to god x 4
 
This all sounds pretty darn good to me! I really love the way you began the solo; it was awesome. Great tone.

All the performances sound great. Definitely an AIC influence, but I wouldn't call it a ripoff. Nice job!
 
Nice recording...particularly like the main guitar motif running through the verses. Interesting vocal effects used. Did you sing double or harmonise the same vocal?

Hi there,

Thank you for the feedback. All vocals are triple tracked - the main vocals was doubled twice and the harmony is three parallel tracks. It is a lot of work to do, but to me sounds better than artificial doubling.
