Description
this one's rather dark.

i just got a new amp today. a traynor custom valve 80... it's loud.

so i used it to record this. there are some production issues and my voice is a little shaky on the low notes, but here it is anyway.

oh, and neil - the guitars may be a little sloppy, but i did use a bpm

Lyrics
he drowned in his breakfast
made love with his life
got lost in his breakfast
it went down like a knife

now he's just talking
in words he don't know
the pen and the paper
like a field of fresh snow

if murder is progress
and laughter is done
then how do i stop this
before i am gone

he swallowed his tv
his love's down the tube
why bother to see me
why bother to move

it's easy to sit there
get high and ignore
the world as it turns on
its channel four war

if murder is progress
and laughter is done
then how do i stop this
before i am gone

they'll kill you for oil
they'll kill you for money
they'll kill you for god
they'll kill you dead

they'll kill you for oil
they'll kill you for money
they'll kill you for god
they'll kill you dead, honey

so how do i get this
out of my head
when most of the world
is threatened or dead

A cool sound...
you have in this song. It especially is strong when you are singing out. You should be more "out there" with your voice. Nice guitar work throughout, the lede guit is nice and mellow and you make it almost cry in places... I am no production guru, but some tweaking on this (less reverb maybe on the vox) along with some other refinements are probably in order. Kudos for this tune...

hey dadai -

thanks for the comment. yeah, i normally do sing out, but usually am better at it when playing and singing simultaneously. this song was an attempt at a more relaxed singing style, especially the low parts.

also, i was more interested in playing with my new amp than doing another vocal take. but i've remixed it - you were right about the verb.

thanks again!

I can agree ..
.. overall cool sound, strong vocals, nice tone for quite spontaneous sounding "solo" that kept going until the end .. a bit of refining perhaps on production (touch too much reverb on vox IMO in places for example). Fore-boding, dark and lamenting . That flanged, valve amped guitar is paced well making fine backing to what came across to me as an anti-killing song but also about the added downer thinking about this, has on this already pretty down on his luck chap- there being some switch in direction between the first 4 verses and the last 4, although a smooth/linked reference transition in verse 5. I seldom comment on lyrics but I really liked these, in particular the line "he swallowed his tv" and not for any comical value either ..but I did think the "honey" was a bit out of place, it kind-of threw me in context.. also it is perhaps more in keeping to stick with "he" and "his" instead of "I" and "my" in places.
I like the way it sounds at least as if the rhythm guitar and vocals are recorded at the same time. On
arrangement: I'd make a more definite vocal build to the solo and let the solo fade out as the vocals return. Just my thoughts .. hmmm, maybe I should have sent a Note instead .. bit long huh? lol

a bit long, maybe - but nothing wrong with that.

glad you liked the lyrics, etc. i wish i had more to say. i have remixed the vocals. may take out the guitar in the final verse.

:)

Boss Flanger
Yeah , the Boss Flanger is a nice toy. Mostly this effects go to be too extreme, but here it fits perfect in the track. i also like your singing a lot. Ha,ha...honnestly its out of tune sometimes, but somehow i like especially that.Nice track!

BPM at last : )
Always like to get a personal message in the song description Darren :)
Some nice playing and some excellent high notes Darren! This really reminded me of someone at first - towards the end I realised that it reminded me of you - a very distinctive style which is still improving. Once you get your head around the new gear - watch out! Some really tasty little lead breaks in there - I wouldn't call the guitars sloppy at all, they fit the song really well. Maybe some production tweaking would make a difference, but I suspect over production on this would spoil what you've done here - good post!

hey neil - thanks for the comment.

yeah, i agree it could use some production tweaking. i've altered it a bit already. may redo some of the vocals. going to maybe add some fun stuff, too.

of course, don't want to over do it. that's not my style. :)

I would like to hear ....
.. more serious volume on the VOX ..... I like your falsetto notes ..... I think the issues might be with the mixing ..... you got a good thing going here ... I liked it a lot !!!! If I could download .... I could hear myself offering up some echoey female weirdness to it ...... I am a fan of reverb so I have no problem with that ... I just think a little "more in your face" with the vocal would catch my attention ....

yo
hey alannah -

took me a while to notice your comment. duh.

thanks - yeah, i know the vocals need work somehow. i'm bad a mixing. maybe it's that - maybe i need to sing better. maybe both!

i'm not good at talking about myself! i will say that you may be in for some varying qualities of recording. some bad, some not so bad. i'm getting better at the 'engineering' side of things, so it should be continuously improving. also - if ... [see more]
