Description

My first rock song arrangement & performance. This song was a challenge I placed on myself -- to write a happy song. So my dear friend, MG, played a bass line and told me to add the next track, and so on. And this is the result of some really fun experimentation, laughter, good beer, and a person I really connect with. Don't ask about the title. A girlfriend said it sounded like something from the "Friends" tv show -- and this was the first thing that popped in my head. Funny concept.

Song Credits:
MG: Bass, Clavinet, Arrangement expertise, Saying "yay" to the tamborine, and Chord structure.

Miss Chaos: Acoustic Guitar, Organ, Electric Guitar, Some bass, Percussion arrangement, Final Mastering

Oh yeah, and I should mention that every single track in this song is synthesized!!! Go easy on us... this is our first attempt at being rockers. (!!!)

where's the vocals?
You've created a nice, upbeat bed of music here, but it's
crying out for vocals, in my humble opinion. Seems like
this track needs an additional "something".

I'm wondering what you could do to punch this up
somehow; the track sounds a bit flat. The choice of
software instruments and the balance between them is
good, but this track sounds a little homogenized and
"level". (Don't know how to explain it....)

It's great that you are experimenting with different styles,
and expressing different "feels" and emotions in your
music. Keep going!!!

Mi(da)s Chaos strikes again
Sheesh, sounds like you can do quite well here too... it has
that lush longing MissChaos signature to the tune, makes
you want it to keep going. It is simple, breaks just at the
right time into a bouncy B-tune, you have enough
interesting embellishments going on to keep it fresh... the
only (minor) nit pick is the drums, which are almost
perfect, too perfect and too uniform... I can hear the
pattern changes here and there but there's not quite
enough variation, and there are a couple of places where
the snare does a rat-a-tat-a-tat that is too perfectly
exact. Definitely calls for a real drummer :-) Drums are
complicated to write for and baffle me. The music is
beautifully bittersweet, great instrument choice, nice
panning/EQ... sweet 8s across, DL/Faved! This is another
MC hit for me, Brava!
ttfn,
Drakonis

Entertaining and Definitely Happy
It's fun, pleasant to hear, and you hit the target for sure. I'd
like to hear more attack on the guitar as it sounded too
much like it was being played on a keyboard. There wasn't a
lot differentiating it from the lead on keys. That's a relatively
minor thing as the tune as a whole was quite nice. Thanks!

give-and-take me away
Fantastic feedback. Thank you to everyone who commented! I agonized over
whether to post a song like this since it's a genre which I know very little about. I
can say one thing for certain: this was awfully refreshing to write and play such
happy music. Now back to my regularly angst-infested programming. ;) I'm
really a happy person... honest!

I wish that I could do this
What an interesting sound MissChaos. I really like this one two. Now
I'm curious part of the world you live in. I like the lightness of this. I'm
trying to be lighter in what I do, but I just can't make it work like this. I
like the transisions and you chord work here. Very xc'lnt!

The grahpics are perfect for this too.

Nice job!

Starting from the bottom of your song list ....
I find myself STOPPED on this one !!!! Because Now I suddenly want to SING all over it !!!! I was inspired by _nerscore's comment about "you can run but you can't hide" ... and thought to myself .. hmmmmm now there is a line to write some lyrics around .... one day you might just receive an email from me saying .. hey I sang on top of this .. you wanna hear it ???? I shall continue on my Miss Chaos Listening Journey .... and let's see if I can remember tomorrow .... how inspired I suddenly was tonight .....
