This song was recorded a while ago, maybe 6 months or so. I play everything on this one, it was intended to be a rough demo, but i went overboard and did a whole production number on it...i think it suits the song though. What do you think of the arrangement? I like the song, though i am a bit bored with it now, as its always the one people ask me to play, i dont know why but people seem to like that song. I am going to re-record it for my new album, there are definetly things in there that i want to change and things i want to keep. Any thoughts as always are very welcome!

This sounds pretty cool, I like the vibe.

I would suggest pulling out of the "telephone" effect at some point. The AM radio sound ( ummm, I am assuming its intentional) cant hold the whole song, I was expecting :Wish you were here where the real voices come in at some point. Definitely a cool song.
 
I think the vox need something.....bring them up, or make them full at some point. All sounds good, but the tune could use more in the voc department. At 1:30, or so, would be a good time to transition.

Other than that, it is a cool song. Nice vibe, and just my opinion. If the thin vox is what you really had in mind, keep it, but I think fuller vox would have a bigger impact.
 
yeah, i am gonna change the vox to a fuller sound in the second section of the song when i re-record it. Its odd thats two original songs i have posted here so far and both have had Floyd references to them. Its gotta be a good thing. Thanks.
 
I lke the effected vox throughout.
There are a couple of grammatical errors that clang with me though..."there's hands" which should there're hands. In fact there's is substituted for there're throughout. It's a matter of plural agreement.
Maybe you should use that vox effect on the instruments at some stage to bring verything back & then, possibly, everything up to a fuller sound incl vox.
The song is very good indeed as is the recording & performance.
There're some sssing probs here & there.

Click to expand...

In fact it should read "And There's no hands that hold you, that wont pull you down"
Cheers for the comments, like i say im gonna rework this when i can be bothered getting it out again.
 
Gummble,
Don't worry about me & grammar. Even the Govt owned TV station down here doesn't bother with tense, verb & plural agreement anymore.
I also know just how difficult it is to write a gammatically correct rock song. I have written a specifically non gender specific love song that even avoid B A B Y babeee though.
Cheers

Hahaha, at first I misread the thread title as Bloo Driver, instead of Blood River. :D "Blue driver, take me home." :rolleyes:

No, seriously, this is a very nice song.

I like the sound of the voice, but I also see the necessity to change the character of the sounds somewhat to give the song more impact. But I wouldn't change the vocals, but the effected piano on the left hand side in the second part of the song to give an overall fuller sound. That way, the very nice sounding guitar solo would stick out more. The way it is now, it has just the same character as the vocals and the piano. The drums could use a tiny little more weight, too, IMO.

And maybe a background vocal doubling the bloodriver-parts an octave higher? But maybe that's already too much.
 
I misread too (Blood driver) but I do it all the time.
Like the song. Vox is special but it fits nicely the song vibe. I love it.
I wouldn’t change anything.
Thank you for sharing it with us.
 
yeah cheers lads. Bloo Driver is my pet name for the song. I will post the new version when i get round to finishing it.
