Description:
A new song.. I worked on track automation on this song. Still.. I would rather perform than mix. But Im learning, I used the archtop electric guitar and the jazz bass. It has a small bass solo. What Do It Mean??? I just made up the words as I went along.

Lyrics:
what do you mean

Hardware:
Shure KSM27, Fender Jazz Bass, Harmoney archtop.

Nice song ---- &mdash 03/17/07 - 12:20:12 PM
but "what do you mean"? I look at mixing as part of the process so I enjoy it as much as actually playing. It's all fun or work - ah - more fun.

I like your song dude - Thanks for sharing,

mvh : )

from the breath &mdash 03/18/07 - 06:44:32 AM
loved the breath opening up the track.. so glued to backing track
guitar parts sounds really swanky :):)
the humming in the background was very teen-spirited!
i like your approach to lyrics more and more. you can dig up various different moods from a theme sentence so spontaneously !

groovy &mdash 03/18/07 - 01:24:03 PM
This song has a nice groove, steve. And I especially like the delayed effect on the voice. Nice arrangement as well. A good one...

Can ya dig it .... &mdash 03/18/07 - 01:27:01 PM
... almost had a little early "beatles" vibe to it .... I enjoyed the little harmonies ... (oh yeah and the deep breathing .. haha).. nice track - came through a little "air-heavy" but that just gave it that "live" sound. I'm glad to hear you singing more on your tunes and your voice is coming through very nicely.

Thanks &mdash 03/18/07 - 04:59:07 PM
Thanks.. Im working on a lot of stuff now..Logic Express features like automation mix. Im hoping it helps me sing better!!!

I mean that the Cubbies are gonna rock this year! &mdash 03/20/07 - 04:51:42 PM
How's that?
Real sweet, spontaneous sound.. And I like the way you play with the reverb. Subtle touch that gives the piece more depth.
I'm a newbie on the GB front, myself. Nice work, musichead. Cool bass solo. Didn't know you played those fat strings.

[ Reply to This ]
some what &mdash 03/20/07 - 06:02:00 PM
I play Bass somewhat..haha
I need to boost the solo and lower the archtop guitar..I think that will help..thanks for listening

Nice free-floating fun &mdash 03/20/07 - 08:19:17 PM
Has a very laid back, spontaneous sound. Love the jazz bass. Has such a great sound.

I mean... &mdash 03/23/07 - 11:19:54 AM
I like it... Nice groove man... Maybe if you sincronize a little bit more the drums it soundz better... Just a thought!!! Overall a great song!!

[ Reply to This ]
I agree &mdash 03/23/07 - 05:18:32 PM
I also need to bring the bass solo up a bit and lower the guitar on the bridge


[ Reply to This ]
Groovy dude &mdash 03/24/07 - 09:41:06 PM
I love the opening vocal and chords. Diggin the bass, yeah it could be louder, but hey, it's sounds cool. Mixing can be both fun and frustrating. the more I do it, the more I learn. You just keep working to get that sound you're after; I'll keep diggin' your tunes. It's a good working relationship;-)
Keep 'em comin'

do-dodoole &mdash 03/28/07 - 06:44:24 PM
Dave, what's "track automation"?

Your spontaneous lyrics are ace! "The dog is crying - what does that mean?" Brilliant!

I also really the do-dodoole backing vocals (sorry, I really don't know how to spell that!!)

:O)

track automation &mdash 03/29/07 - 05:48:06 AM
Track automation is a feature on LE
It allows pan,and volume adjustments across the board.
Thanks for listening!!

Nice! &mdash 03/29/07 - 05:56:44 AM
Steve, you're branching out into some different tunes - sounds like you've overcome your hassles with lyrics. This is a good tune. Maybe it could do with a slightly more mellow treatment - in the production area. The beat seems almost too strong for the tune itself. But hey that's just my opinion :) Sounds like you've made some big steps since we were talking last year. A good post.
Cheers,
Neil

so glad &mdash 03/29/07 - 03:54:13 PM
So glad you noticed. I still have a lot of production learning.
But I feel better about my songs. I still have tons to learn..Thanks for listening Neil.

Hey! Way cool! &mdash 03/31/07 - 05:38:19 PM
Nice tuneage all around Steve. I really like the lyrics. Your vocal delivery is quite nice and you managed to pull off the "doo-doo-doodle-doo" sections really well. Color me impressed!

Be well!

Smoothie &mdash 04/01/07 - 07:55:11 AM
Steve - this was working well, and then the brushes and doo-doos came in, and it took off! This is such a cool little tune, with a great live sound to it. Its a sunny Sunday here, and this has just tweaked my mood and made it better.

Thanks man!

Steve

just a start &mdash 04/02/07 - 05:28:04 AM
All my songs on MJ are demo's .
I work on them even after posting.
Some I take to the studio,some get throw aside.
Its too early to tell if Im keeping this
song or not. thanks for the listen

TIPS! &mdash 04/04/07 - 03:27:24 PM
The drums are way off time! Maybe just keep it acoustic and voice? The guitar track is a little rough at times. Maybe do another take and try to match up the effects on the vocals so they sound like they are coming from the same space. Lata

REAL LIVE &mdash 04/04/07 - 05:59:21 PM
Like the Life in this one; the "let it roll" lyric developments and twists, the "Doo-da-Doos and the Kit - the upfront brush hits - playful and adds space.

Nice Feel to the Capture - immediate and lively, with good Vocal color.

Like it lots,
Coop

[ Reply to This ]
thanks &mdash 04/04/07 - 08:45:38 PM
thanks coop!!! This was a song pretty much done in 4 hours.
Mostly 1st takes..some dubbing, But made up as I went along

Hello! &mdash 04/08/07 - 05:55:51 AM
You were the very first person to listen and comment on my very first song on MJ, so I figured I'd check your stuff out. This is a cool little bouncy tune, with a good melody and a chuggin' beat. I like it.

Without a doubt, I would listen to this song many times just to hear that unbelievably sexy bass solo!

Others have mentioned the drum timing thing, which I'm sure you noticed as well, but if you're cranked this out in just a few hours and made up the lyrics as you went along, then this is basically a demo. I'm sure if you wanted to put a hundred more hours into this you could tighten up the drums, and monkey with the mix, but I gather you like top just create spontaneously, which is very cool, too. You said that you like to write 3 songs per week- I am literally in slack-jawed awe of that kind of productivity!

Bottom line: cool bouncy little tune here, with some pretty intriguing lyrics despite - or perhaps because of - their improvised nature.

~Brian Weiland

PS- Have I mentioned that I LOVE the bass solo?!! Man you're good!

thanks a ton &mdash 04/08/07 - 09:58:40 AM
Thanks a ton...My guitar playing is average at best.
Bass is what I love and play live most of the time.
Thanks for the kind words,,But I dont think its the drums
that are off,, I think its my timing. I believe the drums
where the last thing I added.. All my songs at MJ are demos.
Thanks again

Nice way to freestyle &mdash 04/13/07 - 06:50:17 AM
Nice tempo and that drum coming in and out moves the jam along well. Very good playing as well.

doodley-doo-do-DO!!! &mdash 04/14/07 - 08:00:43 AM
I like things made up on the spot. Lovely bouncy melody and rhythm. The nut in me says "needs mixing!" but as it stands the visuals and thoughts brought forth from listening are a refreshing delight.

[ Reply to This ]
thanks &mdash 04/14/07 - 08:04:45 AM
thanks alot!!! I like 1st takes best!!!

shakespeare &mdash 05/16/07 - 04:29:55 PM
nice lyrics man. you know, this is the tune that makes me beer thirsty. i guess it's the cheerful, good vibe, that comes out of it. i also had little issue with drums, it seemed to me even off-beat in couple of places, but nothing major. keep it up ;)

[ Reply to This ]
Yes &mdash 05/16/07 - 04:34:24 PM
You are right drums are off.. and I lost the bass solo file.
But Im not sure If this song is going to go into the studio or not.


[ Reply to This ]
I love the fact .... &mdash 06/16/07 - 10:20:10 PM
...that you made up the words as you went along!

That's great :)
I'm a big fan of improvisation, and lyric improvisation sometimes turns out very well. This is certainly proof. Catchy tune; love the jangly feel of it.

Nice :D

in the real studio &mdash 06/17/07 - 09:19:01 AM
In the real studio with this song I had to come up with real lyrics.
But I used alot of the first takes lyrics. Thanks for the listen
