| Days to Forget by WordHerder | 5 years ago |
Yikes--I haven't been playing (on my guitar or on iComp) for a while due to work responsibilities. I did submit this song, but it wasn't chosen  I did make the rookie mistake of sending the CD via registered mail, though. Anyway, I need to rework the lyrics and make them my own, then rerecord. I really tried hard on the production of this song, and so far it's the closest I've gotten to my "sound." Thanks for the nice comments--it helps soften the rejection  |

| Need Vocal ideas by ttucker512 | 8 years ago |
| I like this--it seems like a nice canvas to work on (I'll reserve a rating for a finished version). Do you just want general ideas, or are you looking at more of a collaboration? If it's a collaboration, then knowing the exact tempo and key you're using would make it easier to play around with some melodies and lyrics. | |
| Someday we'll know by ttucker512 | 8 years ago |
| This is a really cool song. I agree that it doesn't quite "gel" yet, but all the parts are there. The chorus doesn't take things up a notch yet--setting it off somehow with a stronger rhythmic or harmonic hook that builds a bit on what's there would be great. I keep hearing the word "we'll" in the chorus drawn out a beat more so that it syncopates with the drums and doesn't just follow them--I think getting a little groovy with the phrasing throughout would really set off your vocal. As for drums, I don't know if you've looked at the Drums on Demand website yet, but their drum loops are great in GB. BTW, I'm going on and on like this because I like what you're doing in this song, not the opposite. Great work! | |

| You have a great voice, and you sing with a subtle and understated confidence that is very effective. | |

| You Will Hear My Lullaby by Keith | 8 years ago |
| Very nicely done! This is a pretty song with touching lyrics. The piano is wonderful. I like the sound of your voice and the melody line--I do think the style of the singing might work better if it was a softer, more intimate approach (more in keeping with the lullaby theme?). Lyrically, I liked the personal images a lot (sparkling wine in a Dixie cup); references to "the promised land" and "the muse" seemed like they might be there for the rhyme. I'd like to see more of those personal images b/c they fit the lullaby theme so well. I'd love to hear a version with softened vocals (maybe a bit less emphatic in the drums and bass line, too). The piano really holds its own. Great work! |

| Everything U Want by ryo | 8 years ago |
| Very tight and skillful song--I like how you quote from the Beatles but also make it your own. Some of the verse vocals struck me as a bit nasal--I wanted to hear you sing more from the back of your throat. I love the falsettos and harmonies. Very impressive--thanks for sharing. | |

| A Song That Went Like this by atrox | 8 years ago |
| Great tone--did you say this was a Strat plugged directly into the computer? I haven't been able to find that kind of tone with the amp models, so congrats if you have. The timing changes were interesting. A couple of the fill licks were a bit bare in comparison with your ornate style--I wanted something a little more twiddly at times. Great job. | |
| No Regrets by liquidg3 | 8 years ago |
| This is an exciting song because even though it's still in it's sketch stage, its creativity and potential is obvious. I like how the loops became the building blocks for some cool vocal ideas. Lyrically, it hangs together well--especially the hooky chorus section. I do wince a bit at lyrics like "world of confusion," not because it's bad, just a bit overused in pop culture. Maybe if it was more personal--"I've known days of confusion" or something. Or not--I tend to overanalyze sometimes. Thanks--this was fun to hear! | |
| Monkey House by RicP | 8 years ago |
| I like the funked up dance groove--that bubbly synth sound about a third of the way through didn't work for me, but maybe it's just because I've used that loop in a song and have gotten possessive Good job. |
