Into The Dirt - by Voda La Void

Listening to your own songs is a bit like laughing at your own jokes, right?  You can get away with it if no one is watching, ha.  Well, I've been listening to this one for days now and I can't help it, I just like it.  The mood, the melodies, the instruments, the mixing, the structure, it pretty much is the best thing I've done since Letter To God.  
 
This is my first attempt at live acoustic drums.  I've always played electronic drum sets, which I just despise now.  The sound is not a deep pro drum sound - rather it's perfect for the mood and space of this tune, I think.  All I have is a KSM27 condenser and a SM57 in an echo chamber for a room.  But it works.  
 
I really hope you guys dig this one.  I think it needs to be loud to hear everything.    Into The Dirt

Well done music.. I liked the tune and vocals. sounds good

Other than the vocals and guitar FX being a little narrow (as the furry one mentioned) it sounds good here!  The dreamy feel reminds me of someone, but I can't think who...    I like the "screamed" vocal parts too, nice contrast. 
 

Hey Tim,
 
Very Filter-ish (but not mastered as loud). Nice work.
 
Regards,
Dan
 

I like the laid back feeling. It reminds me of something but I can't put my finger on it. I may push the yelled vox a bit harder, and maybe put a little dirt on them with a saturation tool. Oh now I know! Sounds kind of like a Beatles tune when they were in to LSD! :-)
 
H-

Lynn - thanks a bunch, man.  That's always been a problem with my music for people, I think.  I don't like standard cookie cutter song structures.  I want to be surprised.  When I listen to the radio and I know *exactly* what is going to happen next.  It's too predictable for long term enjoyment.  I want to not know what is going to happen next.  I want to be wrong.  So that's what I typically shoot for in my music - and it doesn't work very well because I'm a nobody so there's no reason to give it a chance and deviate from the norm, for people.  
 
Jablowmi19 - (No I won't, ha ha).  Hey thanks man, that's the highest comparison I could ever ask for.  Even a slight resemblance to Beatles on LSD is a confidence fix.  Thanks for that.  
 
bjornpdx - I appreciate the listen and I'm sorry you didn't get the closure you needed.  You're not the first to be disappointed the song didn't return.  I just like it.  To me, the first part was only good enough for a couple verses and breaks - I didn't feel it was strong enough to earn a return.  I think people largely find this song boring.
 
Dan - thank you for the ear.  
 
 
 
Oddly enough I've noticed that I've had 120 views on this post, while the Youtube file only show 33 views.  I wonder what gives with that?  

Pretty cool stuff. I like the dreamy arrangement, lots of interesting textures swirling around. Acoustic guitar sounds very nice. The coda at around 4:15 was odd, but nice...
