A new song...your thoughts

[cello_pudding]

Does the second post chorus need something more? i think it just ends too quickly...

i'm thinking make it twice as long..and put more parts in..and make it actually end instead of just stop...

anyways...

its the first thing that place at www.myspace.com/johnmarkh

Nice sounds again.

I had a lot of trouble determining the song structure, so I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "second post-chorus." But if that's the end of the song, then yeah I agree it could go on a bit more. I feel as though I didn't really have time to latch onto anything.

I think this is because of your penchant for shifting time signatures often. In "Friend," which I really like, I find myself wanting to sing along, but the shifting time signatures through me off. I think you're fighting an uphill battle with those, because I don't think people's attention spans are long enough.

I dunno, just my opinion. I thought that my music was hard to classify, but you've certainly got me beat in that department.

Anyway, I think you've got a unique sound (I really LOVE the way the chimes or vibes accent the melody in "Friends" when it goes to the b2 note), and I wish the best for you. Think you've got a good thing going.

Super. Great combination of sonorities, and odd turns of melody. Change the damn gtr strings though.

When the strings come in at around 1 min it's striking. I liked the ending.

The overall effect reminds me a little of Villa-Lobos' chamber music, and his combination of popular music's rhythmic style, rich sonorities, chromaticism and unpredictability in the lines.

change my guitar strings?

you don't like the sound of my guitar? is something out of tune?

the strings were put on yesterday and are well tuned.

They sound to me like old strings. Not out of tune. A little muffled on the low notes. Oh well, so much for my string-newness-discerning ability.
