Description:
I finally finished "Unfinished"! A pretty produced song for me since most of my work is basically acoustic and simple. I used alot of loops along with playing my acoustic guitar. It was alot of fun to make hope you have fun listening!

Lyrics:
There's an unfinished painting, an unread book and an unfinished song
Here in my life.
Everywhere unfinished thoughts, unsaid words and unclaimed hearts,
Here in my life

And everyday, the unmade plans, my undone hair and my untied shoes,
Its here in my life,
Its an unfinished race and an unfinished fight,
without any winners and an unclaimed prize,
Its here in my life

Give me a minute, cause I'm not really sure how to make the change.
How to finish my words, how to finish my dreams how to finish the game.
I'm not really sure how to make the change can you give me some time
To sort it all out in my mind.

Where did all the time go? Can I have a chance just to catch my breath?
Oh where did all the time go? God, I could of sworn we just met!

Here is sit with unfinished work, my unkept life, and my unclean soul.
Its here in my life
there's and unfinished quiet and an unkept secret and an unfinished kiss on my lips

Its here in my life..

Its here in my life

Give me a minute, cause I'm not really sure how to make the change.
How to finish my words, how to finish my dreams how to finish the game.
I'm not really sure how to make the change can you give me some time
To sort it all out in my mind.

I'm struggling with the key... &mdash 02/01/07 - 08:57:58 AM
To start with I couldn't tie the bassline to the vocal & figure out what key it was in. Once the acoustic came in it all then made sense & is quite a sweet little tune.

I'd certainly consider adding something in a higher register early on, so the first-time listener can get a grasp of how the melody relates to the bass.

And why the fade? - it sounds like it's going to end right at the fade point. The guitar against the percussion gets a little raggy at that point, but I'd let the vocal finish & then just do a quick fade on the instrumental only. It would give the listener the feeling that they'd heard it all.

Yes.. &mdash 02/01/07 - 05:19:25 PM
I wanted the beginning to be sort of a mystery. I guess with it being my own song, its hard to seperate and imagine hearing it for the first time. In my head I aready know how it relates. I suppose I can see what your saying.

As for the fade, I just like the way it sounded - that way the listener might want more! :)

Anyway, thank you for listening and for the critique. I really appreciate the feedback.
