exellent I agree with MG... I'd like to read the lyrics.. I think you may get some R.E.M. comparisons... that's a good thing... this is wonderfully sparce and minimal... If this is your first attempt, then I'm surprised... you have put together a very musical post... almost always someones maiden voyage into this software music world, ends up sounding like an experiment with sound... this sounds like a song... as if you have something to share, and music is just the vehicle... that's one reason I'd like to see the lyrics... the song really starts there for me great job; Scott Check out my latest song called Good Morning

Lyrics... Thanks for the responses. I've been recording for a while now--on a zip disk digital 8-track. Really limited. Garageband's really opened things up. Songs like this were on hold because I couldn't record it like I wanted, especially the second half. Now I can record piano and everything else. Garageband just rules. I'll think about getting the lyrics up here, but I'm not 100% sold on these lyrics. Lyrics are always the thing that come last for me. Check out my latest song called So Long

eh squier? The guitars have a really nice tone. That's a Squier for ya. I like the choice of putting the drums 75% into the right channel. Was listening to some Beatles the other day. They did that all the time. Creates a great tonal separation. Great first effort. You production values are great for just getting into the computer. Nice harmonies.

Beatles Definitely took my cue from the Beatles on left/right balance. Thanks for that. Listening to any Beatles record in one speaker is an amazing experience. Still don't understand how they recorded Sgt. Pepper on a 4-track. Check out my latest song called So Long

Song good, intro bad. Well, bad..... This is a pretty solid song. Good writing, good production. It's a bit strange that that piano comes in at the end, and as pianos go it's not a particularly good sounding one: your guitars are much better as instruments. Personally I would have tried doing something with a diffreent guitar sound there. No, my only real complaint with this song is the intro. It's way too long. Pull out your favourite records and see how long a typical intro is. Some of the biggest hits of all time (Hard Day's Night foremost) had intros that were over and done with in 5 seconds or so.

Really Good for a first posting I like it. I agree with Vic though, the piano part seems out of place somehow. It's almost sounds like a different song at that point. Having said that, welcome to MacJams. Looking forward to more. Check out my latest song called Loop It Oldfieldlian

great track Love the guitar and drum box - really reminds me of early Cure (seventeen seconds). Great vocal harmonies as well, and a great chorus refrain .. again. The piano idea, and the drop-out in general, work really well, but i agree the piano sounds a bit brash ... the end sounds a little bit Nirvana-ish, but with better harmonies. Another stonkin' track!

Hi Ash This sounds good too, I like the guitar sound and the melody, arrangemrnt etc, especially when the piano comes in. I'm not too qualified technically but I would have liked the vocals to be a little bit more upfront (but that is only my opinion others more qualified may disagree). I can tell you have a good voice and the harmonies are great. Thanks for posting. Best Regards Steve Check out my latest song called schooldays

More great power pop/alt/indie rock stuff hits MacJams.... I'm loving that Squier Strat of yours, and you're doing some nice recording with Doctor Rhythm... Were you using a BR-8, by any chance? Very Beatles-ish trip into the bright piano sound with the celloish synth over it... Nice nod to Michael Stipe in the vocals, in a territory that also could included Michael Penn and Matthew Sweet... Bet you'd really love the M-Tron mellotron software that Bubowski clued me into... These first two tunes are really great... Welcome to MacJams!

thanks Thanks for the welcome. It was a BR-8 (The Berate). It served me well for a while. Recorded a CD with it. But I definitely outgrew it. I'd love to get some other way to record drums, like the Yamaha DD55. It's got some bad reviews, but I want to actually be able to hit something with sticks rather than poke at little pads with my fingers...that Squier strat has served me well. Got it in the 80s, I think they were making them better then. Check out my latest song called So Long

I totally agree .... ... with the R.E.M. reference ... it was my first thought when I started listening ... and then as I was listening ... I read the comments below ... I am also someone who likes to read the lyrics as I listen ... makes it easier to reference a certain part of the song if you are pointing something out .... I also really enjoyed the harmonies in here .... nice tune. Check out my latest song called I'm Drownin' - Smokey VW (feat Alannah) + Outtaorbit

R.E.M. I've gotten the R.E.M. comment a lot with this song. Which is weird to me because they're not the hugest influence. When I wrote this song, I thought I was ripping off Lou Barlow and Sebadoh. Thanks for the comment. Check out my latest song called So Long

Guitars, they are great. This song has such a great feel to it. I really like the vocals as well, especially the harmonies. You should post the lyrics, I like reading along as I listen.
Great job and welcome to MacJams with your first tune!
