Lyrics

i knew a man who claimed to follow the snow
i thought our love would mean he would never go
but soon march turned into browns and grays
and he knew it was time to go away
oh, julian.

the last i saw of him he was getting on the train
and there i knew id never see him again
he threw a note out the window pane
and he whispered to me,
i have to get on this train
oh julian

heavy hands opened it while dark eyes of mine
read the note ive read at least a hundred more times
my eyes read greedily, eating up every last work
who knew these words could cause so much hurt?
oh, julian.

and the note said

dear katherine im no longer a burden
i couldnt stand to see you hurting
i hope you understand
no, i know you will.
my heart is as cold as a shadow,
which is the reason that i should go
i care too much to see you hurt again
love, julian.

	Very somber mood you have created, really enjoyed the lyrics as they really fit well with the overall tone of the music. The instruments are sort of muffled and mix the needs some work. But overall good start welcome to MacJams. Check out my latest song called blues shuffle

I'd agree with hacked
The mix is muffled. I blame Audacity, but it is a free program, after all,
and you get what you pay for. There's some odd sounding stuff in the
background, and a little less gimmicky arrangement might work better,
but the bones are good. Watch out for peaking and pops a little more
carefully and it could be improved a lot.

	I think there is something good here although it's a little hard to hear past the production issues. It seems as if you have some equipment needs. A mic, preamp, and Garageband, of course, would help raise the fidelity. But your voice is super and haunting. I will check out your other tunes. Check out my latest song called Vainglorious

Production needs...song great...
Hello and welcome to macjams.

The song itself is fantastic and shows so much promise.
Your ideas are really great too and your voice is superb.

This does need work on the production and didn't play well here soundwise.

Try burning your track to cd and previewing it through many didn't systems, you know car stereo, headphones, hi fi, etc.

You'll be able to judge your mix better.

I gotta say though as a concept, your voice and the overall feeling are all great.

Really, really look forward to hearing this when done and if you need any further prompters or help feel free to mail through the site.

Thanks for posting :-)

Well if you have Cakewalk I would suggest learning how to use it, as you well
a least have access to EQ and compression, effects , etc. However wether you
use a Mac or a PC is irrelevant, as the principles of recording are the same
regardless of platform or software used. Granted some programs are easier
than others but until you get a Mac, download a few tutorials on Cakewalk if
you spend a few solid hours you can figure out enough to get you started.

Nice song
The vocals were really hard to pick up. It was almost as if they weren't there. I thought the song itself was a solid effort and, if produced properly, could be a very good piece. GarageBand provides pretty good support for recording vocals, provided you had a way of getting them in. Even without a good mic, it is possible to get some decent results, as some people have used only their Mac's built-in Mic. I think this might be more of a post-production issue. Good luck!

	Nice Darkness. Nice composition. Beyond production issues, it has a deep felt sound to it. Check out my latest song called Capitalist's Drag

	Excellent Song Slightly reminiscent at points of the Rolling Stone's Angie (it made me thing I'd hear Mick Jagger's voice come in :)), but very much your own creation. As noted elsewhere, the production needs work. It's my opinion that the hardest part for most people is the song part - you've got that well in hand here in my opinion.

sounds great
I happen to love the rawness of the recording quality. It feels much more personal to me. And as you previously stated, it is the content that counts. The world doesn't need anymore perfectly recorded music, it just needs people that aren't afraid to experiment with what they have and make something amazing with tools that aren't so amazing.
