Boogie

[Xeries]

I'm considering a remake of this tune. It's about a savant who lives in the woods and plays an old upright piano to the trees.

If anyone would like to collaborate on this one, I could use some keyboard.

Here's the progression: Am Em G Em G - Am Em G Em G = Verse

C F G C C F G = Chorus

Any comments would be helpful. Thanks in advance, Xeries

49 views and 1 reply now.... I dig the chorus, it really has a great groove to it. I like the difference between the verse and the chorus / chord wise. The mix is pretty full now - there were times when I could have sworn there was a keyboard but it was just the flute/guitar lol... Hope you find someone to play keys....great tune....

There are keys in there. Sounds cool. Vocals could be brought back down into the mix a little.

Really nice catchy song
Recording still sounds a bit rough though: vocal level doesn't sound even to me and the voice is too forward in the mix. Drums sound way far. Flute and voice are great as usual. Reminds of early Cat Stevens.
Do you really need more keys? I didn't get that impression....song's really nice and I think you can get more out of it.

Cheers

Yeah, it sounds a lot like Cat Stevens. I agree with the drum comment, they sound very distant.

Piano needs to be more prominent since the song is about pianny-playing. In general, I find that the background instruments can all come up, especially piano and flute. Excellent song, dig the lyrics.

Yeah this song doesn't need more stuff, just a better mix. Vox are too up front, drums are too far back. Even them out to the rest of the music and it'll sound way better. Nice song.

What they said, yeah -- very catchy song, Cat Stevens in a great way

No offense, Wig. But this is one of the reasons I don't post in your threads any more. That whiney line always comes up if the responses don't come up fast enough for you. Last time I posted in one of your threads, you never came back to respond to anyone that posted anyway. You just let the thread die after your original post.

Not to make a big issue out of it, and I have no problems with you. But, that "49 views and one response" whine that inevetably comes up is a little annoying. Just my opinion. Sorry.

Carry on without me.

Wig,
Having had the advantage of listening to this in full CD glory, (disk arrived and played 4 time so far), the drum thing remains the issue. I hear them as distant because of their tone - they are too bright and mechanical - esp the snare & tom rolls.
I think you could get away with this nicely without the drums & just sub some real hand percussion.
Cool song from a good CD.
I guess the comment about more Joanna to match the theme is fair too.
