uncovered in your eyes
Hello Cakewalkers, This is my first post here. I've just finished recording a demo of a song I wrote, called "Uncovered in your eyes". I would love some feedback from you all - about the song itself, as well as production / peformance etc. I recorded using: Acoustic guitar, my voice and a shaker ADK mic Sonar 7 producer The piano sound is from Garritan Personal Orchestra The style is simnger-songwriter style. I listen to a lot of Paul Simon, Bread, Nick Drake, James Taylor.... Anyway - have a listen and let me know what you think. Cheers. http://www.soundclick.com/nequalsone I've posted the first 2 verses and a chorus on my site; and I promise to finish the song soon. The middle section is proving a little tricky...

Really nicely put together song, nice harmonies and a good quality sound overall.
A nice gentle trickling vibe to the tune I look forward to hearing the complete article, I understand the difficulty with the middle section its sometimes hard when you got a good thing going not to veer off into something that doesn't add to the original vibe, you sound a very talented lad though I'm sure you'll overcome it.
Nice one.

Man, I started it, and it was so good, it surprised me! I am stopping and re-listening.
You have that acoustic finger picking style down "cold". And it really sounds good, great tone, great technique!
I like when everything else comes on as well, but I would like to hear that acoustic guitar just a bit more in the mix with the bass and keys.
The vocals are spot on, you have a touch of early british rock in your voice to me.
This was really good, I wish it were the whole song.

The only disappointing thing about the song was that it ended! Loved it! The melody and lyrics were wonderful. I like your voice and the guitar was very good as well. You can't leave me hanging here mate!

So easy to listen to! I could hear every word. Nice voice, great playing--nice mix. Oh, no, it's ending! Wow- that was WAY too short! Very good job. I like the piano sound too. I didn't know GPO had that. I only have the Pocket version that came with SHS6XL. I'll have to consider GPO now...

That was great. I loved it. There is a perfect middle 8 floating around the I-hear-it-Songospheric-Tune-n-Lyric Land just waiting for you to have a quiet moment and write it down. Can't wait to hear it when you get the whole cake out of the oven. (Oh yeah man!!! I was a big fan of David Gates and Bread  ...some very nice songs.)

Thanks for all the generous comments. I have now finished the song...for now....!. I decided against a middle section (call me a maverick). I played around with it a lot, and I ended up just sticking to 3 verses and 2 choruses. It's short - about 2 minutes, but that's ok by me. Anyway - I also re-recorded the vox and guitar, and laid down another harmony line. Hope you like. Cheers. http://www.soundclick.com/nequalsone

The version I heard is about 2 minutes.... I really like it. I haven't heard that style in a long time. It sounds good...like JT for sure. The song writing is good, the harmonies are excellent.
There isn't much I could complain about except one major thing....it ended to soon.
Good job.
