I KILLED IT FOR NOW !

 
Hi everyone , this is the start of a new song project with lyrics and my own vocals . Its really an old song I did back in the mid 1996 using a QY300 I bought new and some old recording gear I also I using at the time .  
   
NO LINK !
 
Anyway I decided to take the song and completely overhaul it from the ground up , the lyrics I'm keeping but the music I have slightly change using my music software .
The lyrics is about drugs found on todays streets, pushers and streets girls and crime , its also a story of how one ends up if your mixed up in all that mess .
This new version has more of a heavy dark rock feel to it , right now this is where I'm at .
A week ago I had my seasonal flu shot and everytime I get the seasonal flu shot I end up feeling like I have a bad cold so I'm not moving too fast on this new song project .
 
My vocals are not the greatest , as most of you know I don't create alot of songs with lyrics and vocal in them but what the hell I'll give it another shot and see what happens .
This is the first verse , I'm still working on it right now . Maybe a synth guitar lead or something might help , the old version had horns in it so I'm sticking with that in some parts of each verse and chorus section .
 
Yes another WIP , its hard to swallow , a bit dark but in reality it really happens on the streets late at night I'm telling it like it is .
 
Cheers-James

    Thats weird , the day I posted this startup song project hoping for alittle feedback on the music and the vocal mix my SoundClick link worked fine.
    http://www.soundclick.com/player/single_player.cfm?songid=11889437&q=hi

    Today I see no one is commenting on what I started so i clicked on the Link and I get this ERROR message , now that hurt !

    Anyway its working now for those who might want to comment on my work so far on this WIP song project . 

    Thanks -James

    You're off to a good start, James.  If you see this through, I think it may find a place in "Easy Rider".

    All the best,

    Yes I agree, this is a great start and should be developed further... I will listen again as you progress... Vocal sounds really good... Great work so far...

    Thanks , I'm sort working with the old version I did back in 1996 trying to capture that groove . The old version had horns in it and this one has it too in part of the verse .
    Hopefully it will sound better then the old version when I finish it , today I started on the chorus section and so far it sounds good .
     
    Thanks for the listen and feedback -James

    Thanks Frank , working on the chorus section now trying to get it to sound right . So far I'm making some postive progress , going to stop now and take a afternoon break and get back to it late tonight or tommorrow .
    Thanks for the feeback on the music and with the vocal track , the mix is important in this song because it needs to sounds strong if that makes any sense .
    Its been months of no singing so this song is a good workout for my lungs , after I get most of the song completed I will post it again .
     
    Thanks again for the feedback and comments -James

    I agree good start.  I t might be my system but the low synth seems to be rumbling a bit in my monitor.  It could be that it's supposed to be that way.  Your voice seems to fit the song.  Keep workin!

    Thanks Warren , I'm half way finished with the chorus section now , worked on it for another two hours .
    This chest cold isn't helping me but atlease I'm working on it slowly , hope to have the chorus section wrapped up by the end of this week-end .
     
    Thanks again for the thumbs up - James

    Hi back again with an all new version , this time I took the first verse lyrics from my old 1996 song and sort of reworked the lyrics and changed the chorus lyrics from ( It make no Sense To Me ) to  ( Dirty Pushers , Pushing Drugs .

    Right now in this new version I have the first verse and now the chorus section . Today I start working on the second verse with new lyrics but for now this is where I'm at in this WIP song project of mine .

    NO LINK !

    Comments welcome on the new chorus section I just added to the song , thanks !

    James

    GREAT start James. Mix sounds good on my end. My only nit would be to push the vocals a smidge forward.  Looking forward to hearing your finished piece.

            Hi Kev , thanks for the feedback on this new updated version . You made a good
            point , I agree with the vocals not being up front more . Thanks again for the listen
            The second version is where I plan on twisting things around slightly , I'll have to
            completely come up with some new lyrics for that second verse .
     
            Cheers - James

    The worse thing you can do is sing when your not feeling good , I think I mess up on the second round .
    Still working on the music but this dam upper respiratory infection is getting the best of me , all started from that seasonal Flu Shot . I took the bullet now I'm paying for it , happens everytime with those flu shots .

    I repost it when its completely finished , see ya ! James
