Lyrics:

Mi Veneno
---------------

Tú me pides corazón
Pero lo tengo deshecho
Lo maté con el alcohol
De las noches sin tu techo

No digas que
No me arrastré

Supiste cómo retorcer
Lo que por tí no pude hacer
Y ahora pretendes que te vea como ayer
Siempre supiste manejar
Como quisiste la verdad
Eras veneno en sangre pero me curé

Si recuerdo bien fui yo
El que estaba equivocado
Era una triste impresión
Que estuviera yo a tu lado

Tú eras la luz
Y yo una cruz

Supiste cómo retorcer
Lo que por tí no pude hacer
Y ahora pretendes que te vea como ayer
Siempre supiste manejar
Como quisiste la verdad
Eras veneno en sangre pero me curé

Te despiertas dulcemente
Me sonríes sin maldad
Finalmente lo has logrado
He vuelto a capitular
Pero a veces me sorprendo
De mi propia reacción
Pues te miro y ya no veo
A la que me devoró
Sin embargo lo perdido
Quizá fue lo que yo amé
Ha sido un placer tenerte
Pero al fin ya te solté
Si me quieres no me importa
No te has dado cuenta aún
Que las cosas nunca salen
Cuando sólo quieres tú

Supiste cómo retorcer
Lo que por tí no pude hacer
Y ahora pretendes que te vea como ayer
Siempre supiste manejar
Como quisiste la verdad
Eras veneno en sangre pero me curé

Nice bouncy tune &mdash 11/15/05 - 08:23:31 PM
Over all a good sound. I like they lyrics (the translation, my Spanish
comprehension is almost non-existant). You carry off the vocals well,
though, they are sometimes buried a little too much in the mix for my
taste. Good solid tune.

Very Nice but... &mdash 11/16/05 - 03:09:10 AM
If you improved the vocals, mostly just bring up their volume, this would
be so much better. The instruments themselves are wonderfully recorded
and sound very crisp. Let me know if you do anything to fix this. The tune
is very catchy.

Very Nice but... &mdash 11/16/05 - 09:55:08 AM
Thanks for your kind comments... :)

It's good to see that you find it catchy... that's what I intended... that's why I say it's a pop tune... :)

Regarding the vocals... &mdash 11/16/05 - 10:12:36 AM
... and the global mixing process...

I mix it with headphones... good headphones, but headphones anyway. So I find that when I play my songs in a proper stereo Hi-Fi equipment the voice usually sounds drowned under the guitars, although I hear them clearly on headphones.
Now, I try to considerate this factor when I'm mixing, but somehow... I like that drowned vocals... they feel more part of the song this way, rather than feeling the music is just make-up for the voice... think about My Bloody Valentine, Sonic Youth, Los Planetas (great, great spanish band) or The Jesus And Mary Chain...

And there's the fact I don't particullary like my voice...

Anyway, I try to think about the song and the sound as a whole, instead of a music than backgrounds the voice...

BUT, I'll try to improve the definition of the voice, and I'll post the fixed tracks...

Thanks all for your commentaries... it's the best way to improve... keep on writing... :)

muy bueno &mdash 11/16/05 - 11:08:11 AM
Really good tune. Nice overall sound. I think you have a great voice but I
agree with the others that the vocals are mixed too low (and I'm listening
on headphones). Other than that issue everything sounds very well
produced and performed. For me, it's always refreshing to hear
something sung in another language.

Nice....! &mdash 11/17/05 - 01:16:02 PM
Ivan%u2026another great tune! I like the mix in this one(just raise your vocals)%u2026it has a solid rock beat and great intensity.
Still, I wish I knew Spanish%u2026but, melodically your vocals flow very well%u2026
Again, great great tune!

What a great find.. heh heh,
Good pop song here avian. Catchy melody and backing music.
I do agree that your vocals could be a bit higher on this. You have a nice
voice and I would like to hear it more..
Good arrangement and with a little more work, the production will be
awesome.

I heard this song a while ago and didn't comment or anything... but I've
come back again. This is a really nicely done song, well structured and
always interesting, well sung and played and very nicely produced. Its
nice and catchy and you've done extreemly well.

The drums were well done... using nice samples with enough variation
in them to sound like it was a real drummer... however during the
noise twist in the middle when the drums were by themselves doing
the same loop... it attracted a little too much attention to the
repetitiveness and tipped me off to them not being 'real'. A nice small
drum solo during this bit would be sweet... just something simple
using some toms a little... just to stop the drums being mechanical in
that section.

As I said, singing was really well done... though (I'm not sure if you
could) it would have made the perfect pop song if during the last
chorus you had upped the energy in your singing... taken the vocals up
an octave or yelled them a little more. Since during the rest of the
song the vocals were always around the same level, it would've helped
to make an awesome climax to the song.

Incidently... love the Spanish!

Thanks a LOT for those commentaries!!!

I love constructive advices... :)
About the drums... YES... it's very noticeable it's a drum machine when there's nothing else sounding... I gotta work on that...

Again, thanks a lot!!!
