New Original Tune: Everything Always (Alternative Rock Guitar Synth Pop Love Song)

[Flyguitarfish]

Definitely a different direction for me. I generally stick with “real” instruments but I added synth and electronic drums to the guitars on this one.

Everything Always: at first glance the lyrics sound a little crazy until you realize that when we give our hearts to someone we really are promising to give them everything and hoping to receive everything in return.

Any mixing feedback (and feedback to help the arrangement add impact) is definitely appreciated!
Thanks for listening and for your help!

Lyrics:

Everything Always

I don’t ask for much
Just your heart
Just your everything
It’s just a start
And when you’re ready
All of your time
All of your soul
And all of your mind
I don’t ask for much
Just your heart

One last try…
Say your goodbyes…

One last try…as sure as the moon falls out of the sky
Say your goodbyes…standing so still, drying your eyes

I don’t ask for much
Just your heart
Just your everything
It’s just a start
And when you’re ready
All of your time
All of your soul
And all of your mind
I don’t ask for much
Just your heart

Neat song - wanted a little more range on the vocals - to differentiate them - BTW nothing to do with the song but you spelled “Your" wrong on the first ‘All of You Mind’.

Thanks for the feedback!
You —> Your…fixed!

I basically have a 1.5 octave range…so I’m pretty limited with my vocal offerings. My daughter on the other hand is amazing. Maybe I’ll see what she can add. Hmmm.

A little top end in places would work wonders.

As far as Eq?
I did pull out some top end because it was getting a little too airy…but maybe I should put a little back in.

I’m thinking I should adjust volume levels a bit too. The vocals seem a little too loud in the intro. And one of the vocals is a little too loud on the back end of the song.

Also, thoughts on having the drums cut out so early? I kind of like it but not totally sure.

No on the vocals - like with your daughter.
