C'mon, that's obvious:rolleyes:

I decided those lyrics absolutely suck and I rewrote them almost completely. Tell me what you think.... FLYING TO JERUSALEM We must end this fight, there’s no turnin’ back Don’t care who’s to blame, I stopped keeping track You’re hating me, and I’m ignoring you So to survive, there’s one...

See? This is why I don't tell musicians that I'm lawyer!;)

I was naive, I know, thinking that this couldn't happen since we were both part of a community. And it seemed like a great opportunity and Sjoko seemed so trustworthy. I used to be a cynical bastard but I gave that up.

I am about to go totally ballistic about this and am asking for help. I responded to Sjoko's offer (on this forum) to master songs for a low price. I originally sent him my stuff more than six months ago. He promptly cashed my checks for more than $200. Since then, it has been one excuse...

Get thee to Jersey. Wash your feet in the swampland of your ancestors. Meditate for six hours on the Garden State Parkway. Then all will be clear.

Damned if I know. The song insists on being written. I have nothing to do with it. I guess..... Two people who can't get together because of their emotional baggage need to go back to where they came from and accept who they are. Which is good advice for all people in conflict. Jerusalem...

Interesting jimi, maybe you show say something like, after she tore my heart out of my chest and made me feel like the last ten years was a complete waste, she turned around and asked me if I was gonna be all right? Yeah, I told her, I'll be all right, as soon as I have a drink and find some...

Thanks Don. Good suggestions. I guess my main concern right now is that the song is trying to operate on two levels, the personal and the global, and I wonder if people will just wonder what the fuck I'm talking about.

Any response, advice, greatly appreciated. I'm leaving you today, but I'm coming back Don't know who's to blame, I'm not keeping track So I'll return, I'm not giving up on you And until then, there's one thing I have to do... [chorus:] I'm flyin' flyin' flyin', flyin' to Jerusalem (repeat...

Good lyrics. They get more natural as the song progresses. You might want to revise the first verse and chorus a bit. For example, "I gave her everything" and "now she don't want me" are kinda broad and come out a little clumsily. And I would get rid of "migration"; too Latiny. I have a...

I'm glad to see you have had time to work on your own stuff.

Sjoko e-mail me man....

It belongs in mixing. Or maybe recording techniques. But Ed is seeking to streamline his forum just like Dobro is seeking to streamline his song. Dobro, you should try importing those discarded tracks into another song;)

I'd like to hear it with kind of a country boogie, Commander Cody-ish beat I'd add or alter a lyric or two to describe more specific things that happened in the car, like, for example, the coffee stain was from the time you laid Mary Lou in the back seat after choir practice.

good thread I think Chris is right; most "middle class" (isn't that most of us?) people have dark, existential angst-ridden conversations with themselves just like you do. You shouldn't presume to know what is in another's heart. You don't need to be concerned with HOW your song will affect...

Thanks Doc and CJ. Same equipment. The differences, I think, besides just experience, are (1) My "studio" is a small office which adjoins a larger living room. I used to record facing out into the living room. This time I tried shutting the doors and recording in the small room. I think...

This reflects part of my journey in the aftermath of the Attack. And it has four instruments, a record (if you will excuse the expression) for me. Please listen and feed back! Sweet Uncertainty. www.artistlaunch.com/LarryKolker

I also try to get several good takes, during one session preferably. I try to choose one "main" take that I'm going to lean toward for most of the final track; I find that this gives the track a purer character. When I've found myself going back and forth repeatedly trying to mix together...

Good idea. I will try turning it down... I thought about using the line out but I wanted a stereo out. I suppose I can find an appropriate plug somewhere. Thanks.
