Then, I'm really glad I went ahead and responded to your song, even though I was late getting to it! I always feel a little insecure about my posts because you guys are all so much more knowledgeable and talented than myself - but then I find out it was useful, helpful, or meaningful to someone...

I finally got to listen to this today, right before starting my dinner. All the while preparing the chicken, etc. all I could hear was the chorus in my head! Going back, when I first started listening, I was a bit dumbfounded, because the music was so beautiful, and I couldn't understand how it...

My first impression was that there is something of a mask over the whole sound. Not sure what the cause is, but, as Joey said, it has a muddy sound. I agree with Atom Bomb - this does not sound emo. I really like it, and can see the comparison to social distortion (once the vocals get brought...

I didn't read everyone's replies to know if this was already said, so forgive, if it was: Listening again, while I write. Music is very polished, very smooth. The heavy breath intakes distract from the overall feel of the song. I found myself hearing that more than the words, which were hard to...

I guess I'm quite late at giving you my 2 cents, but I couldn't help wanting to add a couple of things. First, I was glad I listened before reading all the other comments. I loved the bass, up front, and carrying the song. I listened to it a couple of times, and wondered where the title came...

I think my laptop was bugging out. I'm responding from my **********. I'll try back later, and give you my impression. Sorry to trouble you - I'm sure it was something with my puter, because the same thing happened with another thread, right afterward. Shutting down for now.

Sorry to report that I tried to hear what you posted, but there was no sound. It looked like it was playing, but I couldn't get anything. Did you try to play your link? Is it just me?

OK-I'm back! Thanks, Bushmaster. Yes, I need to learn the song better. That's one reason I made this rough recording. I'll sing along with it, and maybe make some changes. I'm hoping for some feedback on the overall feeling of this version (melody/cadence, etc) before I learn it too well...

oops I uploaded the song just before walking out the door, only to discover that I goofed! The vocal drops off during the 2nd verse, but I think it's still enough to get a general idea. I'll have to re-post when I get home, but I'll be grateful for your comments in the mean time.

Please feel free to suggest whatever strikes you. This is a very rough first draft of my newest song. I'm hoping for some ideas on arrangement. How does it make you feel? etc. http://soundclick.com/share?songid=8096820 Anxiously awaiting your thoughts!

Hi Deb, Welcome to the site. It is a great resource for learning, and even entertainment! If you go back to the very first message on this thread, K-dub posted his link to "Final Daze". Click on it, and you should have a new tab pop up, with "final_daze.mp3" ready to play. You can pop back over...

I was totally surprised with the whole feel of the song, once set to music. Not to detract from the kudos already given - just my first impression. The mix seems pretty right on, thought the vocals could be a bit more in front, for me. I still felt like there were too many words for the...

Thanks, outerspacezoo, for your comments! Sorry it took me so long to respond, I had some trouble with password/unable to be here for a few days! I see that you're new to the site. Welcome.

That's a great way to explain what people have been saying in their "let it write itself" comments.

fun frame. You may want to cut out some of the superfluous words, like, but, then, and, as. It may move better with music that way, and it's amazing what our brains fill in, when the right words are emphasized. Just a thought. Looking forward to the music bringing this one to life!

..way over my head. But, what happened to your cute, Inspector Clouseau-style picture, dross? I liked that one. Did it not represent you properly? ...

"As opposed to the mp3 clinic, this is where discuss your project, before you post a somewhat finished product for critique." (this would clear up the confusion I experienced when first soliciting feedback/posting songs!)

Thanks so much for the feedback, guys! I think I'm gonna have to take some time to wrap my head around the frequency advice, Ray. Thank you for trying to explain, and opening my mind to some new things. It'll take me a bit, but I'll go read more about the frequencies, and play around with my...

hmmm... the only processing I did was very light reverb, since I record in a very flat room. Oh, and I did run ever so slight compression on the lead vox, since every time she sang, "Five things..." it got too large. I think I'd like to have her try again, only with the input turned down, or...

The guitar part is pretty and melodic. I had the sense that the melody of the lyrics wasn't sung to the chords of the song, somehow. Sometimes (though I know it was sung) it almost seemed spoken. I don't have good monitors, just cheap stereo headphones for my laptop, but, right at the outro, I...
