I like ryhming, and I like hearing it and I'll use whatever kind of ryhmes I can get away with. It does just go naturally with singing. I am delighted with hip-hop as I have heard the best and most imaginative rhyming ever from the most surprising artists. Masculine, feminine, allitiration...

It's a song that I consider one of my best. It's really old fashioned - no bridge, mostly a 3 chorder. The title phrase has been used at least 3 other times in songs in this century. The subject matter is well-trodden - a divorce/I have to leave you song. It is exactly v/c/v/c solo(!)c/v. The...

All different ways - Well, for me, most songs come from a guitar or piano riff - that sets the tempo and mood, and the sound of the song sets up the words. Usually a chorus, or a hooky verse. Something that defines the whole song. Sometimes, a general idea for a song comes, and then I do...

Allright... Pinecone: without the music, these words put me in mind of a 60's psychadelic song, Pink Floyd-y if you will - See Emily Play, etc. I imagine some swirly mellotron-type sound on the word 'PineCone', with flanger on the vocal. I assume that some music will explain the word pinecone...

I like the song And no, it's not too retro. I think the bass levels are just right for that style of song. The main comment I have is the sound of the main acoustic(?) anyway the main strumming guitar of the song. It sounds like an acoustic with a pick-up plugged directly into your mixer, or...

Excellent choice of cover! I've just been playing over and over again the Beach Boys of this era. Especially Don't Worry Baby. Anyway, I like the reverb - is that a plug-in? It might be the MP3 encoding, but some of the vocals sound a BIT (and I mean a tiny, tasteful bit) flanged or phased...

Yep, I had figured that out the hard way But I figured that was my soundblaster live screwing something up. At first I thought that the playback meters were 1 or 2 DB to low, then too high. I had some distorted mixes that resulted from the playback meters, and also the 'clip' indicator on the...

Yes Mr. Shaeffer, that is more what I had in mind! And I thank you for taking the time to listen to the song. I know it's pretty rough, especially the end bit, the riffing guitar at the end is a few measures out of place, and that's what you get for not editing carefully! The vocal phrasings...

As many people have mentioned, just looking at lyrics without the music can be difficult. I'll say outright that I don't want to judge people without knowing them, or hearing their music. I'm sure everybody here is doing their own thing, tyring to express themsleves in their own way. I'm...

I don't want to start a big long pointless discussion, BUT... I think I might have misspoke (written) about not being happy with the point of view. There are other issues that the song is trying to obliquely talk about. I was mostly worried about the words sounding too trite or forced. I...

Well, if i do count 'throwaways' It would be in the 200 or 300's category. I try and get one new song started a day, but with editing and refining, maybe 1 decent idea a week, maybe one REALLY top-notch (by my pathetic standards) song a month. 'Finished' songs is also a tough one - 50 maybe...

The city that Quesnell is closest to... Do you think that Prince George will help these americans any?:D Or 100 Mile House! Or Barkerville! Did some treeplanting in that area some 10 years ago. For the song, I'm imagining a finger-picking rambling type song, like a talking blues. Or more...

This song might have too much ideas in it, I don't know... But overall it says what I want to say. It makes a rather difficult point, about your youthful idealism getting tempered by reality... And it's specifically NOT supposed to be gloomy and dirge-ful. Here's a really rough idea of how the...

Yes, Netscape capable! Works just fine. By the way, I did check out your song in IE from before. To my mind, I think that the Kris Kristofferson song was different enough. I've heard closer similarities. I think you have to be at Beatles levels of popularity before you have to worry about...

I would think it's up to you - But I couldn't say, because I can't play your song! Winamp, Cool Edit, and the mp3 player from my CD burning software all can't read it! The programs either crash (Cool Edit) or give garbled weirdness (Winamp and Nero wave editor!)

As a non-Argentinian, I thought it was great! Perhaps as a fellow canadian, who also knows what the IMF is, I can sympathise more. I get the song, and the viewpoint, though viewing your profile helped. Political satire/commentary can be tricky. Also, with a similar recording setup (minus the...

Love The Cellos! They have a nice 'woody' sound, and you can hear the the 'gritty' sound of the bow. The guitar parts sometimes sound like little bits sampled and looped - sort of like the early 80's Brian Eno stuff - especially on My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts(?) with David Byrne. Overall...

It's sort of remixed... Took out some of those EQ bands you guys mentioned. An old version of Cool Edit Pro, good algorythms or not, it seemed to do the trick. And did a different second guitar track. And a new vocal. And with less distortion - digital zero seems quite variable in my computer...

Bruma - holy Pink Floyd! The drums sound good - but in the first minute I hear some static/white noise thing that I'm not sure is supposed to be there, it almost sounds like it has been reverbed heavily The lead guitar is very clear - direct from a pod-type thing - or miked? Sounds very good...

Who was Yello? I suppose you could do a search for them, it's probably worth it. Yello was, and still IS as far as I know, a duo of two german/swiss? noise experimenter guys. The met in the late 70's, as they both went to sample noises (on tape, in those days) from a car factory at the same...
