Description:
Just looking for some feedback on this song. The original track is done by one of my buddies on icomp (doddster73). I'm on the vocals and the lyrics are mine ;-)

Lyrics:

Get on your knees boy
It will all be over soon
If you get scared just look into the sky
Our sky
Eclipsing the moon

Sugar and spice and everything nice
That's what good girls are made of

She'll never love you like I will
So wipe those tears of your face

She'll never love you like I will

Things happen for a reason
Time to embrace our fate

Don't you leave me boy
Don't you leave me boy (blah blah blah)
Please believe me boy
You belong to me.

This is a well produced track. i listened to it through headphones and
all the levels sounded great, the instruments are placed well and the
vocals are really good. You have a very nice voice and it definitely
complimented the spooky vibe. Well done!

Hi there. Just wanted to say thank you for the comment on this song. It is a
well produced track and that credit goes all to Eddie. I hate production!! Gives
me a headache :-)

Thank you again! I really appreciate it.

WOW &mdash 09/20/06 - 11:09:21 AM
Welcome Linda. Great song. Sounds hot and seductive. Where you in the closet on this one? I love your voice. This track is nice and dark and reminds me a little of PJ Harvey. Major Plus.

Great phrasing and harmonies. There's one part in the song where you hit the high notes that has a cool Egyptian/ Eastern feel.

The only thing i wasn't to fond of was the spoken word part. I think if you sang that in a nursery rhyme type fashion it might be more effective. Although it was kind of cool hearing your speaking voice i think this could help the song immensly.

Sounds like voice lessons are paying off.

You have a very SeXXXy voice.

Doddster made a wonderful track, and I think your addition makes it even greater. Very nice vocal harmonies. But I also agree with Dr B on the spoken part. Bring it up a bit in the mix, and this will just be perfect. Hey, welcome to MJ. I hope you stay with us for a long time...

Cool track &mdash 09/20/06 - 01:55:47 PM
Welcome. Love the eastern qualities in the music and excellent singing.
Good mix with the agreement to the small niggle already
mentioned above.

I took it apon myself to figure out the songs theme and best I could come
up with was: the eastern spicey goody two-shoes woman is no match
for the apocalyptic one - hell hath no fury ..and we open with
execution of afore-mentioned spice girl: but I'm no good at this.

Dandy.

It seems we all get lost when we try to figure out eachother's songs. For this
song, picture some psycho ex-g/f having an uninhibited moment with the boy
she's still in love with. That's the vibe I got while creating it :-)

Welcome to MJ Linda - you don't just sneak in and stay low do you : )
Shades of Grace Slick as well as more recent influences - excellent
track. Spoken part definitely needs to be lifted a little. You have a
great voice, but I especially like your slightly out there sense for
harmony. Doddster's backing track works really well. Radio ready,
genre crossing and plain excellent! What a voice!

Super nice vox on this! &mdash 09/20/06 - 05:29:34 PM
Very enjoyable tune, but the vocals caught my attention the most - strong, confident and right on target. Great job, thanks for sharing!

it's always nice to hear that my voice draws people in. For a while people
believed that I had a hard time emoting. It's still something I'm working on and I
thank you for taking the time to give me some reassurance that I can do it!

One comment deserves another .... &mdash 09/20/06 - 07:39:20 PM
Another way to meet new people on here ... have a listen to a tune or two of everyone's who comments on one of your songs .. hey I like the fact that I found someone that essentially did on this tune what I do on ALL of mine .... create lyrics .. melody and sing all over someone else's instrumental ! You did a great job ... it isn't always as easy as it looks to interpret someone elses music and add your own personal touch to it .... I especially like the multiple vocal layerings and harmonies on this one. the lyrics are GREAT ... nothing like a good old fashioned ex gf stalker to make the hairs on all the guys necks stand out ! hahahahaha Keep the tunes coming .. I look forward to hearing more.

Lovely vox &mdash 09/21/06 - 03:33:55 PM
You really have a terrific voice and you sing this so well, the
interpretion of the lyrics is really spot-on.

I have to say I dig that opening line.. ;-)

[ Reply to This ]
yes!!! &mdash 09/23/06 - 09:52:05 AM
I am so glad you like the opening line! There was something about singing that
opening line that I really enjoyed hahaha. I don't even know how I came up with
those words. Talk about getting into character :-)

Great Job &mdash 09/21/06 - 08:24:27 PM
Love your voice and harmonies great production. I agree that the spoken
part should be higher in the mix. This song is very captivating. I believe
clb redy here on south beach. Look forward to more of your work.

Thank you for the kind words. I feel very welcomed over here at MJ :-) I'm

Another beautiful voice on macjams! &mdash 09/23/06 - 02:10:36 PM
Great addition to macjams. You have a very nice voice and I like the way
you layered them. The mix is well done. I like this techno/indie vibe it
has. Thanks for sharing and welcome to macjams!

[ Reply to This ]
thanks! &mdash 09/26/06 - 07:42:02 AM
Texas, thank you very much. I saw you on icomp a while back and was
impressed w/ your work as well. On an honest note, I don't touch production all
that much. It's a process that I don't really enjoy. I LOVE layering and
harmonizing my vocals tho! So....it required a nice partnership for whom ever i
collab with.

Thanks for taking the time to comment.

Oh dear no I am def. not mixing this stuff. I mean I do it a little...but once I add
my layers and harmonies, I send it to Eddie or Neil (basically whoever I collabed
w/) so they can fix the production. I'm quite the sped at it. :-)

Elastic... &mdash 12/21/06 - 01:42:42 AM
I can imagine it was fun to sing this song. Getting into that particular middle east vibe.
"Don't you leave me boy..." sounds more like a threat than a plea.
Way to get deep into this.

very cool &mdash 01/08/07 - 11:01:58 PM
I like the feel of the song and your darker intentions with it. As someone else said, I also didnt care for the spoken word the way it was done. In keeping with your theme I'd like it better if you had made the spoken area eerier. But a great job overall.
