Nice. Nice mellow feel. Some interesting chord changes.
You mention that you're gonna retrack many parts. This song is definitely worth the attention! The melody and lyrics are good (I couldn't make out all the words on my pc speakers, but what I heard was good)
 
Welcome Tom!

Pretty cool song,really catchy acoustic hook.
Some jazz chording going on there,huh?

I can tell you have a really good voice,it's just really distorted here.
If you could get it cleaner,it would sound great.

How are you recording the vocals?

Definitly has potential,good writing!

Honestly didn't dig it. The vocal sounded like a broken radio shack mic. The chord progression was waaaay too slow. Sorry, I considered not responding but you wouldn't have posted the song if you didn't want feedback.
 
It's all good, jake - I appreciate all feedback, positive or otherwise; this one was an early recording (i'm still learning alot), and all the parts were pretty much one-takes (and the mic wasn't a good recording mic - i've finally got a large diaphram condenser to work with, so the next take should be better; although i did put some vinyl effect on the vox to make them sound more aged - just a vibe i was trying out). Please keep the feedback coming though - I'd love to hear some opinions on what I might try doing differently on the next take, and what works well in this first one.

Thanks everybody,
~ Mr. Tom
 
sounds like your headed into recording land dude. song has a nice theme to it. Sounds kinda like this was a scratchpad take, to see what your going to be able to do with the tune. I do that a lot. The guitar part could be worked with a little to show a little more authority. The singing is good, but It sounds like the mic is working you instead of you working the mic. I'd get it hot and work it at about 9" and turn it about 2 degrees off-axis. But if you got the condenser you can work away from it more. Good shot!
 
To be fair your singing sounded pretty good and nothing was wrong with the guitar playing, it just went on a little long on the first part. My suggestion would be to try more parts in your arrangement. Even an interesting break can help alot. But I wouldn't even bother responding if I didn't see some potential.

Also try getting things to sound good before adding dirt to the mix.

PM me if you want a drum track played live with a song.

ps. good attitude man!
 
review

I liked the acoustic guitar and voice,dump the other instruments(sounds like maybe keyboard and electric guitar playing off key),and maybe do a second acoustic guitar,and maybe harmony vocals.I don`t mean to be too critical,but you asked for opinions,you sound a little like Hootie(from Hootie and the blowfish) vocally
