Suddenly it isn't funny anymore... :(

Whoops, that comment came across way differently than I intended... :rolleyes: (I reckoned you'd understand my quirky sense of humour by now, especially after our intensive PM conversations)

Well, since I bashed you out in the open (although absolutely not meant as a bash) I might just apologize in here too.

I APOLOGIZE, MY FRIEND! I FEEL REALLY SORRY ABOUT THIS!

Final note to all people around here: please don't take me seriously, EVER...

Btw, Khomp....listened to the tune....yep, you're a fucking great guitarist. Thanks for the reminder (I'm not kiddin', I really mean this) :)
 
I love this chord progression and melody. Its very nice on the ear and keeps me interested. Vocals are rich and thick too. Great song! I WISH I knew your language so I could decipher the words as I listened. I thought the guitar solo was very aprapo except for one double stop thingy towards the end. You can rock, Ped! This one has a Paul McCartney sensibility to it the way its constructed.
 
Hey Sluice, I don't think you did anything wrong offering to solo on the track. I had the same idea, I heard it and immediately thought I could bring something more to the track. Originally he told me he wanted to try it himself in order to improve, it was just that he abandoned this approach when you offered.


Ok, Tjarko weighed in on this. Good to hear from you. Well at least saying it wasn't intentional I don't feel as bad.

Bygones.:p
 
Glad you've accepted my apologies, Khomp :) (you got me worrying man!)

I should learn to check my posts before posting...read them without my 'sick humour'-glasses... ;)

I'll try to do the solo myself... of course SLuiCE and you will hate it and laugh at me... :D

Powderfinger: hehe, stereo miced? Nope, direct...Korg AX1000G guitarprocessor and a Hamer shred-guitar.... :)

Kramer: wow, Steven Tyler. Personally I don't hear it, but that's a huuuuuge compliment. :)

dachay2tnr: you're right about those guitarparts. I'll redo them with my Pod. Thanks for your comments! Yes, there's a little room reverb on the Korg patches I used (I recorded it like that)....but I was 'allowed' to do that, right?

crawdad: yeah, that double stop thingy is cheesy isn't it? I know you're into lyrics, and this must be hard for you to listen to. Thanks for taking the time.
 
Nice one Ped!

I love the rythym guitar sounds.
Bass is sweet!
Great vocals for almost dry!:D

Cool eerie melody,fits the production perfectly.
Fine mix as always.

I know you don't like to post the lyrics,but give me a little hint.
At least,what does Spijt mean?:D

Very cool tune,I really enjoyed it,
Pete

BTW-I hoped you washed that finger before you put it in your mouth!:D
 
OK, Marco (who wrote the lyrics) will hate me for this terribly bad translation...but here it is:


verse
When it's getting late again, late enough for the sun to tap me on the shoulder
When the alarm clock wakes me up, I go to work with bloodfilled eyes

When the past seems so close, close enough to think you are laying beside me again
When I try to push my doubts away, but suffocate under their pressure (sorry Marco!)

bridge
I think about what I should have said or done
But it's too late now
My heart beats faster than I can think

chorus
Perhaps I'll survive,
but up to that time
I'll feel regret

Whenever I choose the wrong words again
I haven't even said these words when I feel:

fake gospel chorus
regret, regret, regret

When my heart and brain seem to have trouble getting along
And leave me in the mess I'm in...

fake gospel chorus
regret, regret, regret
 
Can't comment much on the mix cause I'm listening through a sondcard into a stolen pair of united airlines headphones.

But I like the song. I especially like the melody around 1:49.
 
You have incredible arranging abilities. I can feel the fun you must have when you do stuff like this.

The guitar solo is fine, even the double stop. Just turn it up! The dual leads during the song could come up a little.
 
Thanks guys...

Fprod: the dual leads? You mean the vocals, right? Yeah, I'm modest when I'm mixing dry ('ouch, these vocals are soooooo dry...it hurts to listen to it.....better mix them not too loud!')

*gets more and more scared of what Flat-9 might think of his silly 'no-knowledge-at-all-about-keyboardparts' organ voicings (and patch)*
 
Great feel to this one. Nice ambience. I love the progression of the keyboard/guitar. Nice harmonies. I liked the rhythmic vocals in the chorus.

I think the lead vocals could be doubled and it would sound real nice. They're just a bit low in the mix - particularly when they first come in. The backing vocals are just fine as they are. Oh I just forgot, this is a no-effects mix. Oh well. The singing is terrific.

A couple of spots where the harmonies could be tightened up - small syncing things.

No little pops anywhere. :)

Good job.
 
Ped, this sounds great! :) :) :) (Three of three smilies!)

I love the feeling of the song! The chords are great!


But just one thing (and that's just me): I didn't like the tone of the guitarsolo. I just felt like it didn't "fit", you know... ;)

Click to expand...

I am streeeeeetched so thin.. Gave it 3 listens so far. 7 or so tonite or tomorrow, then I'll feel I can post on it.

Man , am I late:eek: gotta fly!

Good bye for now you silly little Dutch boy;)
 
OK Pedullist, just when you tell me to rework my 6/8 Empty Spaces with an emphasis on the 4, you go ahead and post this baby. I actually reworked my song based on your advice and will post it soon. I don't really hear it as RnB but its very nice nonetheless. I also put in the distorted guitar "smash" on the 4. Damn, you beat me to it. I love the chord changes you've got going which distance it from RnB but make it original. Nice sounding dry mix.
 
I can't hear what's in your head, so I don't know what your thinking, but this sounds pretty cool as is. Background vocals sound excellent. Very nice bass tone. Definitely Pink Floyd (Sorry!)

the song went down well after a phatty.. very familiar sounding tune.. The beginning sounded just like Moonlight Sonata.. at first anyway.. very nice vocal sound and delivery.. good tunes ped.. (The language thing made it sound like you had a clam in your throat in a few parts!) :D

edit-- some nice bass at the end.. almost reminded me of Doug Wimbush
 
OK. Got to read the translation. Hey, it makes sense in English! I'm sure some of the subtleties of Dutch were lost in translation, but the idea fits the music very well.

Hey, do the Dutch rhyme their lines, or is that something peculiar to the English speaking tongues? Just curious. I heard that the French and Spanish do not rhyme. heck, Spanish is such a beautiful sounding language, it doesn;'t need it. Maybe thats why we rhyme stuff in English--to make it easier on the ear!
 
LOL...you might be on to something Al. Must be what's got Eminem so exalted. :)
