Hi All,

Finally got time to wrap up this track that was inspired a little from the "Linkin Park" type composition/sound.

Let me know how it sits on your ears.

Save Your Life/The Fear

Cian

Hi Cian, I can't believe this is you because you seem to change hats very well.  I really like songwriters that are versatile, and I never know what to expect from you, which is a good thing.  This song has lots of energy going for it, and I like the message that no one can save you but you.  Oh, so true.  I'm hearing good low end in the bass drum, but the vocals and other instruments are very bright.  It's as if you have the low frequencies and upper mids well represented, but the area of the spectrum that I associate with warmth (low mids) is missing.  I'll let others chip in here that have better monitors, but that's how I hear it on my speakers and headphones.  Otherwise, this is a winner and a pleasure to hear.

Wow this is pretty good. Gave me an Eminem vibe.

Really Great Cian. Excellent.

Very Nice.

Bass could be more present, IMO.

great track dude. I'm thinking the drums, esp the snare, can come up substantially (maybe w/ more compression), to really drive this home. the transition at 2:08 is tasty. Most def has a LP oeuvre about it, and I dig that band a lot so this is a good thing.  The rap delivery has a good flow and internal rhythm.  very cool. 

Great song. I'll listen on a better system later, but it sounds like a good mix on this crappy laptop I'm on. I like the vox and piano parts a lot.

Cian,
 
Really good song.  You do sound just like Eminem in this song until you get to the Chorus, then you sound like Cian;)  As Lynn said, you can wear a lot of different hats, styles and that keeps it interesting for the listener.   Nothing worse than a CD full of songs that all sound the same...  Good one.
 
Regards

Thanks everybody for their comments on this.

I'm chuffed people dug the song, in particular especially the rapping, certainly my friends catergorise me in that melodic tuneful category and so its harder to make this type of track more believeable, but my friends too like it a lot.

As for the few changes suggested by Lynn, bapu and abeautifulvirus, I have altered the  eq curves subtly on the master bus, (just before clintmartin's comment), which should give a little more low-mid presence.

I guess since I don't rap that often, I probably subconsciously imitated that "american styled" twang automatically, which is why I sound a little eminemish on the verses but back to my usual sound on the choruses!lol

Thanks,

Cian

Rock on, rap on, it is all good!
