Do you ever make songs and you just feel that they are so not UPLIFTING? Anyway, this is an attempt to make a happy tune...

If you tap your foot just a little, I`ll be happy. If you want to smash something, bugger.

I just couldn`t get a good sound today and the gutar and vocals sounds like a tin can but I think it kinda beats on? Oh yeh and the people upstairs, you can actually hear them thumping around! anyway.....

Erland, I was farting around on nowhere radio (bored here at work) and noticed that you had a new song up. You must have just put it up. Very nice tune, I like the echo part on the chorus and the fade out. The guitar was a little tinny as you said, some more bass would have helped me tap my feet. The melody was real smooth and upbeat though. Have you played with fruityloops much yet? I think this tune would be perfect to try out a little backbeat drum part.
 
hi

Hi JohnWaynesTeeth, just slapped it on, recorded it this afternoon. Thanks for the first ever listen! I was going to actually try out out on Fruity loops but well I just fancied a wee jam. Perhaps I`ll give it a go.

Cheers, bye
 
Hi Cooper,

I just feel like I'm repeating myself, always telling you how great your tunes are, but they are. I listened to it, and it just doesn't leave my head, which is a good thing (For now. By tomorrow morning I'll get sick of it :D ). It's really catchi and reminded me, from some reason, of Peter, Paul & Mary (Also - a good thing by my standards. That's what my dad played me over and over again when I was a kid.).
On the recording aspect - I know what you mean about the tin can. The vocals (especially the backing vox on the chorus) just sound over-compressed, or recorded with an exceptionally bad mic. If you're not sick of the song yet, I'd re-record the vocals, becasue then you have a total winner here.

My thoughts

Nice song. Was it my cheap headphones, or was the guitar volume in the intro low? Once the vocals came in it seemed to get louder.

A couple things I might offer... How about introducing a high harmony part in the second verse? Or perhaps make it a 3 part. I think with your voice it would sound quite nice.

The outro features the chorus with the melody and echo parts that you used throughout the song. You could fit a third part in there and make it a round. Might add a nice touch.

I've listened to a couple of your songs. You have a nice sounding, stripped down style.

Keep up the good work.
 
Cool tune. I would have liked to hear a band kick in somewhere. Great performance. Catchy song.
 
I agree...with the band concept.. this gets a tad repetive at the end, without such. Nice performance/singing as usual, but this one comes off sounding more like one you would play for the rest of the guys, to show them the new song, you want the band to learn. In context of a complete CD of your stuff...this would make a good "filler" song, and keep the quality up at the same time.
 
Hey Erland, nice song. You really have a sort of 60's or early 70's retroish sound about you, fits the smiley face perfect :) !

P.S. Thanks for those messages from before, really appreciate it!
 
Cool stuff...

Foot tapping for sure!

Whats with all the good stuff in the MP3 forum lately?:cool:

You have so much talent that I have a hard time concentrating on the recording! Great voice and great tunes. You seem to have a natural knack for making melodies that stay interesting. Drop me a line when you get your inevitable record deal and you are coming to tour the States. I'd like to see you play! If I was an A&R man, I'd be knockin' on your door ASAP.

The recordings sound like home rather than a top dollar studio (they aren't bad at all), but its a testament to your writing and singing that the recordings almost don't matter. You are blessed with a charismatic gift, my friend. Keep using it! Never analyze what youre doing either cause its magic right now.
 
hey thanks!

Aren. Alright mate? I downloaded the new version of your song. Is sounds great, don`t be so hard on your self. I rechon this tune sounds tinny becasue I also did a capo on like the 11 fret or something, kind of like a banjo. Later and best of luck with the tune.

TripleM. It was lower at the beguinning. Made you listen though? I did think about a harmony but I never tried it. The upstairs neighbours got a bit annoyed, i had to finish off pronto. Cheers man thanks for the listen

TexRoadkill. I would like to hear a band too, didn`t have one lying around though. Glad you liked it though. Are you the chap tat sounds like Eric Clapton? great stuff

mixmkr. Hey, great advice cheers. I agree, it does get repetitive, I should have faded earlier perhaps too.

macle. alright chum, cheers. I wanted that feel to the song, perhaps they made happy tunes back then. Any new stuff on the way? I hope so, this guy is brilliant by the way!


heylow. Excellent, cheers ever so much.

crawdad. Wow, thanks ever so much fro that. Made me feel good all day. I`ll keep slapping tunes up, I don`t have loads of time. thankyou.

bye
