Taste of home
Hey. I just had to take the piss out of something and there's no better way than a song. The lyrics are somewhat repetitive but then so is Facebook.

All comments welcome, good or bad. Thanks for listening. :)

If Honda did social media, this would definitely be the song on their advert. :)
 
An idea, as you sing "Like it. Link it. Share it round." add more voices each time it is said to where it one big glob.

Cool song and this is what new music should be singing about. I don't think it is repetitive in a bad way as it gets the point across. Pleanty of room to expand this song. Good tracking, good mix from what I could hear.
 
I like it! :thumbs up:

Love the dreamy vocals but I feel they could be a little clearer. There's just a little muffled but maybe that's how you wanted them, if so, good job.

Good stuff :thumbs up:
 
Cute song, I really like the melody on the parts that change the lyrics: "Here's a pic of me sitting on some ground beside a tree" sweet melody, works good with your voice. Nice job. Enjoyed the listen.
 
It's not as repetitive sounding as I expected - I read the lyrics before listening. Only two minor things I would suggest - get the vocals up so they ride on top (right now I can't discern the words without the lyrics in front of me). Secondly, fade out the drummer with the vocals. This is, as mentioned above, good enough for a commercial as it has that appealing modern female vocal and simple lyrics that people will definitely remember.
 
Trish,
Classic YOU: commentary, satire and a sweet voice wrapped in a succinct song.
If it were on FB I'd like it.
Is that your bass in the back?
Your mic technique is much more confident - which mic are you using?
Just listened agin - very cool. Oh, I like the ending.
 
Second listen - Do you ever roll off the bass on your vocals? It doesn't sound like you do.

Maybe you could play around with a high pass filter, especially where vocals are layered.
I usually find that cutting the mud away allows me to push the vocals a bit higher without causing problems.

Just a thought. :)
 
Nice work, I link it. Er, I like it. Er, I think it's good...

Not sure if the verse vocal needs to come up, or if the chorus vocals should come down...it just seems like the verse vocals should be louder than they are compared to the chorus doubled/panned vocals. Could just be my goofy monitoring environment playing tricks on my ears though.

Maybe a bit more of the bass guitar, and kick as well.

It's a fun song, a unique little thing. Love the guitar. And the vocals are a good fit for the song, especially the choruses.
 
Hey FTG. I really like the melody on this one. It's probably gonna stick in my head for the rest of the night and that's exactly what you want!! Good performance on the vocals, too. Lyrically, it is spot on.

Mix-wise, I have some suggestions. Instead of cutting, pasting, panning wide and delay one track, I think it would sound nicer if you sang all the BGV tracks (bgv = background vox). It will also help glue the song together if the BGV's weren't the only thing panned way out to the sides. As it is now, they kind of are off on their own out there. :) I would suggest a little more instrumentation and pull the bgv's off the sides; set them at about 50% panned. Record some minor counter-melodies and place them way out there. Guitar licks, embellishments, a synth pad or something. IDK... Just so the bgv's aren't alone.

Lastly, I think the lead vocal can come up a bit. Lovely voice, don't hide it.

Nice to see you putting stuff up here again.
 
I like it! :D

This really catches the spirit (or lack of spirit) of Facebook. Great tune, reminds me almost a little of the antifolk scene (Moldy Peaches, Jeffrey Lewis etc) in New York, but still unique.

I might suggest some background vocals during the "Share it 'round" parts. I hear some oohing and aaahing there in the back of my mind. Just a suggestion.

Thanks for the listen. I tried to get what you said, plus a bit of what others mentioned about the vocals being buried a bit.

Thanks MR. Let's be Facebook friends so we can 'like' everything! I'm not sure you'll agree but I double tracked the vocals and took the reverb off a bit. I think it brings them out a bit?

Thanks PDP. It wasn't meant to be too cute, but I'll take sounding cute over crap any day. :D

Thanks for the ears Ido. I think I kind of brought the vocals out a bit more in the second mix. Turned down the drums a touch but also double tracked them. If you can be bothered having a listen, it'd be interesting to see if you think it's an improvement. The vocals were bass heavy.

Hi Ray.

Yes, still managing to sing sweetly about something I'm pissed off about. Can't help it. :D

That is my bass. Very tentative, but I think it's becoming more present each song.

Still using the AT4033. Using a bit more reverb and stuff now, but think having taken a break has honed me in bit. Maybe....

Cheers Ray, appreciate you checking it out.

And a brilliant thought I am sure! But no, I don't roll off the bass on my vocals. I kind of know what that means now, to roll off the highs and lows...I didn't execute it for the remix though, but hopefully addressed the heavy bass via other avenues.

I did try adjusting the bass in the vocals but the EQ window in Reaper still freaks me out. It seems so simple, high/low pass, but for me, I still can't handle it.
