I posted this song in the mixing/mastering conference, but I'm posting the "new working remix" here for feedback.

The song was written and recorded in one night, and I just remixed it today. (Actually, written and recorded on New Year's Eve, and it's a pretty depressing song, so you can tell I had a crappy holiday. lol) Kind of more of my Pink Floyd wannabe crap. ;)

Anyway... Here ya go. Feedback and particularly mixing/eq/mastering suggestions are very welcome.



Oh yeah... even though the tune is pretty mellow, there's profanity in it, if you're opposed to that kind of thing.
 
Not bad for a quick mix.
The straight forwardness is kinda refreshing.
The PinkFloyd comes out, but I also picked up a whiff of John Lennon.
I liked it.
 
Sorry

I couldn't get past the 1st line. No doubt I swear like a sailor when I take a notion. I am not some holyroller. However, the last thing I would ever wanna do is swear unnexcessarily in a song I've written. I'd hope I would be more articulate and capable of expressing the emotion I wanted to convey without the 1st line in ANY song being:"Everyone is so fuc**n cold" That ruins the whole thing for me right there.

Just my 2 cents. Ditch that "fuc**n" and I will be happy to give it another listen.

best of luck to you:)

Well... a couple of things. First off, by reading

A: The title of this thread
B: The comments about the song listed in the message

it shouldn't have been a great shock to hear that word.

Secondly, while I understand your assumption that I must not be "articulate" enough to express something without using profanity, it is quite possible that I recognized the lyrics as the most articulate expression of the emotion I wanted to convey.

Truthfully, I tend to pride myself on a lot of the lyrics that I write. As mentioned in that first message, this song was written quickly, but it is a perfectly clear representation of a particular state of mind I was in at a particular moment. I don't think another phrase would have expressed the disillusionment of the moment as well as the one I used.

Sometimes "fuck" is a perfect choice. :)

Sorry you don't want to listen, but don't make assumptions about how inarticulate I am because I chose a word you don't like. :rolleyes:
 
you misunderstood, sorry

The word fuck IS a perfect choice for so many things. I wasn't offended. I use the word every day of my life just not in my songwriting.

I never suggested you are inarticulate. I stated clearly "I'd hope I would be more articulate and capable of expressing the emotion I wanted to convey without the 1st line in ANY song..."meaning I am never gonna use nor would I suggest ANYONE else do otherwise.

Believe me if I thought you were inarticulate...I'd say so:)
I DO want to listen to your song. If I didn't I wouldn't have taken the time to write these msg's.

Again, I look forward to hearing it in the future (hopefully)
in any case...keep rockin'
