Another Song

Hey Greg, is has a catchy chorus.  Only a couple thoughts-
1) If you could get Neil Young to sing this it would be a complete winner! (Very Neil Young sounding)
2) The breaks are a tad too long of empty space...the first one made it unpredictable but the other two were like awkward silence on your first date when the conversation was going great!

Of course, these are my lowly opinions, take them or leave them.  Nice job on the song I dug'ged it

good song.  Vocals fit the tune.  Neil Young is a great songwriter but not my favorite vocalist!  Of course I find myself singing along with his tunes.  It works because I'm not my favorite vocalist either!  The vocals seem a little "mushy" in the mix but the vocal quality ,IMHO, fits this song to a tee. 

Hey Greg- Cool tune... I liked it.  I'm with Warren's Neil Young comments.  I think the song definitely has some potential, and the vocals were not so bad.  Maybe if you keyed this down a few steps you'd have an easier time with it.  Add some compression and a little verb on the vox, and you'll be good to go I think.

Big ol' guitar sound you have here Greg, I like it. Catchy song too, I kind of agree with Phil, if you took it down a step you might strain a little less, although that 'worried' vocal does suit the song.

Nice rocker.  Great guitar-based song - had me toe-tapping for sure.  Nice solid drum work and fits the song to a T.

I liked the second break, too - tho the talkover in the 3rd didn't do it for me.

Also the backing vox - I'd just sing them myself (or have you sing them, you really don't want to hear me sing).  The high register seemed a little out of place.  And/or put them back farther.

Everything else exellent. 

+ + 1  Neil Young meets The Stones

SMB, thanks for listening. I started this song without any words or lyrics, just a chord progression. When It came time to sing it, I realized that it was out of my range. I posted it here, asking if anyone wanted to sing it, but no one wanted to take it on.
So I changed the melody to a lower register, but it's still a little high. I was worried my voice would crack!
Thanks, Duane. The black silence is now filled. Glad you liked it.
AT, I appreciate your kind words.
The drums... my first song using MIDI patterns, from SD 1, played through SD 2. Funny, the info on SD 1 says that the patterns were created by real drummers. They must have been 3-armed drummers because there are several places where the snare hits during a tom roll.
I bought Vocaloid Miriam so I wouldn't have to sing any more than necessary.
geeare1, thanks again. Being compared to Neil, one of my favorites, is great.
"Neil Young meets The Stones". BIABdude, thanks. An earlier song of mine, Waiting For The Light To Change was likened to Neil Young meets Pink Floyd by a listener. I'll try Neil Young meets The Beatles next.
Thanks for listening, Kev. Glad you like it. "Chunky" and "catchy", two words that should go together.

Thanks, Mark. Unfortunately, I don't growl or scream very well, either.
 
I'm Lost

I like it, Greg!  :-)

I reckon BIABDude had it right with a mix of Neil young and the stones. 

This does sound quite a lot like him and your vocal style is a bit similar.

I'd like to hear the vocals dryer with just a hint of reverb as i think they would fit in the mix better.

Overall it's a good classic rocker that had my head bobbing.

Greg,
It sounds a lot better.  More drive, more blend too.  Nice job!

Neil Young, Kinks, Stones...
"Performance-driven pomp" (pop?).
Jeez. I'm blushing. See?>
Thanks for listening.
I was glad to get it finished considering I started it many months ago. But they're never really finished, are they?
