First original song

[codeman09]

It's called backporch at www.purevolume.com/codyweese
Let me know what you think. It is me and one of my friends. The singing is definitely bad at the end and the whole thing could be better if we took more time and did it again. I'm looking more for opinions on the song itself than the recording or mixing.

good arrangements. Stands on their own the way they are, but could be built into a large dynamic pieces with more instrumentation.

I dig it. I hear some room for this to grow into something a lot more though. Like you were saying, it could use some polishing up, but otherwise it's catchy and got my head a-bobbin'. I agree with Toki on the instrumentation. I think this could really be sweet with some more behind it. For instance, I hear the drums and bass kickin' in at around the 28 second mark and would lay down another verse then instead of hitting the chorus at around 0:30. With all the extra stuff in there, you can build up more and then kick into the chorus, which I can hear some backing keys and vocals just bringing up the sweetness level. Anyway, yeah, good stuff. Very interested to hear your final cut.

Thanks for the listen.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not slamming you. But, it sound like a lot of other stuff I've heard on Soundclick. Its performed well and recorded well, but it needs something. Maybe a kickin' bassline and some drums. But it needs a hook.
