Description:
I really don’t like to explain my lyrics because it sets up the situation in your head before you have even heard the song I would rather have you listen to the song and hear what you imagine the situation to be.
The most wonderful thing about music is that it can be a very personal and intimate thing.
The new CD by if is available from ifmusiconline.com you can buy it from CDbaby.com and at itunes.com listed under if. Left to Bleed or search by the CD name “Left to Bleed” thanks again for listening to the song.
Talk soon
Jhon

passionate vocal &mdash 02/12/07 - 06:56:28 PM
passionate vocal & euphoric, poetic instrumentation.. especially liked the moments where your vocal gets accented, with hint of paddy/string sound in the background.. was highly ecstatic moment i thought..
welcome to macjams :) and thank you for presenting your track! [ Reply to This ]
Thank you! &mdash 02/12/07 - 07:59:17 PM
Thank you!
There are two versions of this song on the CD one with the full band and the other is the acoustic version of the song we liked them both so there on the CD but this is the hidden track.
Take care

welcome back &mdash 02/12/07 - 07:00:03 PM
Sounds really nice! I like the guitars panned far left/right, they tickle my ears. The slow-phased synth was a little out of place for this style, but OK. Good singing, nice song structure... I like the acoustic nature of this.
ttfn,

Glad you liked it.

really good &mdash 02/12/07 - 09:46:52 PM
I know I raised your voting score. I was shocked that this song was at 5.25 when I listened. I love the acoustic version. I loved how you worked the chord progression backward to the root. Excellent work! [ Reply to This ]
Thank you so much! &mdash 02/12/07 - 10:11:59 PM
I posted the video to "You & Me" in the forms check it out and let us know what you think about it.
Take care

I dunno &mdash 02/12/07 - 11:06:58 PM
I really don't like giving these kinds of reviews. I wouldn't have even stopped by if it weren't for the 4 forum posts. So, I guess your endless plugging worked. Even if it was extraneous.
Average pop song at best. Nothing really different to make it stand out in the thousands of songs just like it. Like Drak stated before, the synth doesn't really work with this. There were parts of the vocal that drifted off key as well.
The guitar and piano parts were done well. Sounded good. I did think maybe the piano was to high in the mix and maybe didn't share the same "room" as the rest of the track. By that, I mean, it sounded as if it might have had too much reverb or something. The impression that gave me was that, the piano was an over-dub; an after thought. It probably was over-dubed, I don't really know. It just sounded like it wasn't a "part" of the rest of the band.
I hope you don't take my criticism the wrong way. By posting your music here you are asking for opinions. I gave mine honestly.

Thank you &mdash 02/12/07 - 11:43:15 PM
Thank you for being honest that is what I’m here for and the fact that ilounge.com takes all the names from macjams and posts them to the search engines making my exposure greater (for free).
The piano was an overdub all these tracks were recorded one at a time there is nothing programmed or midi on this track we are a real band so you were correct on that one.
And I must say nice guitar collection very impressive.
Take care

Production & Performance &mdash 02/13/07 - 07:14:24 PM
I gave you good scores on everything else. As Randy jackson would say, the vocal was "pitchy." It was all across the board but specifically off key on the "save me" hold outs.
Cool tune. [ Reply to This ]
Great stuff &mdash 02/13/07 - 07:31:01 PM
Really like the emotion in this song. Beautiful melody, guitar and piano are working well together on this... you have a nice voice. Thanks for sharing. [ Reply to This ]
Thank you &mdash 02/15/07 - 04:12:41 PM
I remember you from some time ago I liked your work I will have to check out your new stuff very soon.
Take care

I don't see.. &mdash 02/16/07 - 12:58:45 PM
why it was rated so badly. Probably bombed for some other reasons. I voted on this.

Good question.. &mdash 02/17/07 - 05:08:44 PM
Thanks for the vote I really appreciate it, but the reason the numbers are down is because I voiced my opinion of macjams and SOME of the people on it.
Go to the forms and look under check my video out.
There were some people with attitudes that didn’t feel it was up to par and told us to keep passing through and told us there is no place for people like us on Macjams.
I listened to there stuff and looked at the ratings of there songs and found macjams to be nothing more than a pat on the back from other people that you pat on the back, that’s nothing more than Bull shit! So instead of kissing ass to get high scores I told them what I thought, they didn’t like that at all SO I have low ratings, lol
We have been to macjams before and the experience was good but the atmosphere has changed here and it’s nothing more than a mutual blow job.
We sell in the real world and really just wanted macjams for the extra exposure (any exposure is good) (even bad) but when we see high ratings on songs that are a joke and they bag on our stuff it just doesn’t make sense to us.
If you want the real world to hear your stuff & get an honest opinion go to MySpace.com that’s where most of the people went that were here a year ago, I wonder why?
Thanks again

hehe, so right... &mdash 03/26/07 - 04:48:04 AM
i'm kind of new here, and i only entered
to hear this song because of the bad rating
actualy, i was curious to know how bad can
it be as i didn't seem to find anything
under 7. well, i was really surprised b4
i red the comments, cause this song may not
be the greatest song ever, but it's actualy
quiet good, and i'v heard much worst pieces
rated above 8 so... i guess you are right... [ Reply to This ]
cool &mdash 03/04/07 - 10:02:17 PM
I really enjoyed this. Me thinks you have a pinache for writng catchy tunes. Nice job on the mix and all the tech stuff. The vocal did waver a little (I thought it was an effect), but it didn't detract at all for me.
Good job [ Reply to This ]
