thanks! yeah, the production... i originally did some of the guitar tracks on old teac four track and then "digitized" and imported into GB. hence, the noise... very lo-fi - hopefully in a cool way. need to do a retake on the vocals, but at this point the song file is so large with so many real instruments it creates a memory/playback problem and hard to make edits to this version... hence how it kinda falls apart at the end. anyway, thanks for the kind words on the lyrics and structure... thinking about starting over and skipping the first chorus - so that the first two verses run together and makes the song a bit shorter.

thanks! Just a couple of quick points. You know about bouncing combined tracks to iTunes, to make more space, right? Secondly, I had no problem with the length of the tune and the first few words were what hooked me, for what that's worth. cheers snow --- When philosophy and reality collide, reality wins Check out my latest song called The Wolf 7

Great full guitar sound I like it...but yeah I agree that the 'hum' at the beginning is a bit offputting. Classy production otherwise though! S Check out my latest song called Electricity

Vocal Buried I agree that it is a cool song and nice guitar playing but you need better production and mix. Check out my latest song called Strange Feeling

pls redo the vocals man... the vocals could use a little more practice and a redo, and then wham! love the lyrics - don't want them to be buried. but my favorite part is how yoo come out of the bridge/solo part ... love the guitar spaciness craziness on the last chorus. cool track! cooler if you redo the vocals!!!!!!! |

thoughts from the bull... musically, this tune really kicked my tail. seriously, for me it's just rocking out and keeps grooving right to the end. GREAT music... polished and heavy, but not overdone. but something happened with the vocals. they just sit behind the landscape and never come forward the way they could. those vocals (and i think you really only need one track on them, myself) need you to lift them off the landscape and make them the most prominent character on the stage. this has the potential to be a really kickarse song, but those vocals need ownership and power behind them. once you nail that, this tune is going to bust out. just my obnoxious thoughts, anyway. thank you for sharing this.

Is there a bass in this thing? Lots of bass drum, and somewhere in the back I think something is playing the fundamental. This mix sounds too mid-rangey for my taste. The guitars and vocals are too much in each other's way. Check out my latest song called Tecmo Superbowl 2009 w/ Dead End (MJRF 2004)

Cool sound Maybe it's the low-fi elements, but it has a cool sound. I think actually it could work keeping the vocals buried in the mix, but up a little from where they are no. Some very cool textures in the song. Reminds me a lot of early Psychedelic Furs. Enjoyed it ver much. Check out my latest song called Bourbon Street Dawn

Thanks! Appreciate all the feedback -- this recording is rather lo-fi for a few reasons: I wanted it to be; I recorded most of the instruments with a 4track; and it was probably my first mixing effort in GB. However, I tried to a bit of a remix to address some of the concerns and now have posted that version on MJ -- Old Wounds V2... check it out please, and see if you like it better. Thanks again!!!!!!!

I didn't like is the production on this one. I don't think the
line hum is doing you any favours and when you've got
words as good as these, shouldn't they be out front a bit
more?
I really liked the subtle way the story comes out in
metaphor and allusion. A very creative approach to the
lost love theme.
