Description:
this guy was all about being with me, but he never wanted to BE WITH ME... as in "i want a relationship, but not to spend any time IN the relationship"... come to find out, the word on the street is he is just "too cool for school" ...so i got this idea of SOLO... a superhero whose powers involve being aloof and ignoring people around you... and eventually he just flies to a distant planet and sits alone, reveling in his superiority.... very lonely. in the mean time, his lady friend develops the power to turn him invisible... at least to her.

Lyrics:
hero
manchild
i'll let you go
that's the power that i have
yeah, that's what i can do
i'll never be the best like you
i'll just be like the rest like you
it wasn't worth my while
i could never make you smile
i could only tell the truth
only tell the truth

so long, solo
you are invisible now
invisible now
you are invisible now.... to me.

Hardware:
snowball usb mic
voice

I don't even know what to say ... &mdash 10/20/06 - 10:55:28 AM
.. when I hear one of your songs ... just makes me green with envy .... I especially like your use of layering the vocals on this one ... you have a great knack for putting the harmonies in the right place - and that range !!! and those high notes ! ACK ... I'll be leaving now ...

mostly great &mdash 10/20/06 - 11:46:14 AM
For some reason, this reminds me a bit of the amazing artist Jason Mraz (check out his "Mr. A-Z" album!) Really tasty songwriting, delightful lyrics, and beautiful singing and harmonizing ideas. I admit that although I liked the choice of backing instruments, I didn't like them sounding distorted/overdriven throughout, it was somewhat distracting to the music. I think if the backing is cleaned up a little, this would be a stunning track!

clarifications... &mdash 10/20/06 - 11:49:49 AM
By "delightful lyrics", I meant "Delightfully piercing", well-written and fresh, not "happy" :-)

And I realize that you might have _wanted_ for the backing instruments to be grating/gritty, so I just want to clarify that its just my little opinion that it detracts *to Me*... not that you need to change it of course!

ttfn,
Drakonis

I like the lyrics, esp.

"i'll let you go
that's the power that i have"

and more!

Great 'moving on' stuff!

Again, sweet voice.

even invisible superheroes &mdash 10/20/06 - 10:39:12 PM
can become ghosts. ver nice vocals and harmonies. do have to agree the
keyboard distortion does distract a bit should be as smooth as your vocal.
besides superhero susually wear capes, that can't be that cool.
