Description:
A moody ballad...sounds a bit Jarvis Cocker to me...but I could be wrong
Lyrics:
Are you tryin' to break my heart?
Or are you just killing time?
Do I need to play a part?
In your 'emotional pantomime'
Fade Away
Fade Away
The dreams aren't real
Fade Away
Fade Away
These tears aren't real
Did you need a helping hand?
Or just a convenient touch
Now I'm drowning in the quicksand
that you told me was safe
safe to play
Repeat chorus
Histrionic guitar bit
Hardware:
LE7
Software:
Strat, foghorn etc etc

Nice Groove &mdash 04/22/06 - 01:11:50 PM
Steve. I really like the drums and groove on this one and the way your
vocal flows with it and around it. Sounds really good together. Is that
tambourine also or some other kind of shaker? Nice! And of course
when your guitar comes flowing in like electric silk it puts the Steve
stamp on it! [ Reply to This ]
murky-ish... but... &mdash 04/22/06 - 01:26:52 PM
Really like the way it flows - lyrics I can't understand fully, but it's not
necessary. The sound of your guitar and vocals is mesmerising.
The only thing is the drums - seem a little strong, or stiff. [ Reply to This ]
Cool vox... &mdash 04/22/06 - 08:00:07 PM
I love the vocal on this. I'm glad you didn't bury it in the mix. Overall the
song is beautiful. Just beautiful. Nicely done!
Be well! [ Reply to This ]

Well, where have I been... &mdash 04/23/06 - 01:14:44 PM
And thank you for not overloading your voice with FX - Like it - The
delivery was perfect for the lyrics - and the accompanying
instrumentation was right on - I hope that I'm not sounding like I'm
just saying nice things - As my words do express what I feel, I just get
to say them, and just like that - Maybe it's because I don't know you
well enough to be more personable, but I shall work on this - I hope
that I made at least some sense above - Thanks for sharing Steve -
This is a really nice piece - Dion [ Reply to This ]

I actually really like... &mdash 04/23/06 - 06:34:22 PM
...the drum bit here...
The whole track, to me, comes across kind of like John Cale meets the
hip hop-ish remix...
Your voice really suits this one, Steve...
And thank you for a very lovely "histrionic guitar bit"... just to my
liking...
I'll download this the minute that option returns...

Nice! &mdash 04/25/06 - 12:57:59 PM
This is an impressive song. Your voice sounds very good, it sounds so deep. The guitars and the recording in general sounds great. Allthough, the most impressive thing about this song is the songwriting. It is such a beautiful and soothing melody.Your voice and instruments complement the sound of the beautiful melody. This was my first comment here at macjams, Gotta listen to more of your stuff now! I wish i could download your song... [ Reply to This ]
Nice! &mdash 04/25/06 - 01:18:09 PM
Hey thanks... and welcome to MJ too!

this tune, maybe the drums are a tad too loud in the mix, but
that could be just my fried ears.
Does have a Jarvis Cocker vibe, which ain't a bad thang.

Nice blend .. &mdash 05/01/06 - 11:12:10 AM
.. a touch of Jarvis and a bit of Divine Comedy in the vocal sound ...
nice deep voice.
what about: ti-i-ime (going up in the middle and your doing a Divine
Comedy)
I also felt the chorus could have warranted a harmony part that had the
same nice washy 'fade' effect (very appropriate that, atmospheric touch
bye-the-way) but a bit higher up and dinstinctly seperate notes. Any
good at harmonies? Don't ask me .. I'd take too long!
Lovely guitar licks dude, you can rock!
PS. Thx for your kind words on my dodgy vocals. [ Reply to This ]
fade away isn't real &mdash 05/05/06 - 12:20:42 AM
what does Histrionic guitar bit mean?
i like this ballad... i'm torn on the drums. something about them not
sounding quite real is cool. [ Reply to This ]
fade away isn't real &mdash 05/05/06 - 12:22:24 AM
oh now that i hear the Histrionic guitar bit, maybe i know what you mean... ha.
classic sound - nice solo.

Good One &mdash 05/05/06 - 11:36:58 PM
The melody has a unique path. The vocal has a calming quality. The guitar
lead was pleasing. I had no urge whatever to change the dial, And I even
suffer that urge listening to my own songs. I can't really comment on the
lyrics because perhaps I don't pay enough attention to words either when
listening or writing. I can tell you, I liked the sound of this. Cheers. [ Reply to This ]
