Isn't it funny that when you are in a really good mood and just jammin' with yourself that depressing words come out. Or is t just me?

funnily enough .... &mdash 06/09/07 - 02:30:10 PM
... depressing words put me in a good mood .... I'm always in a good mood when I'm making tunes .. but oddly enough I think about 95% of my own tunes have depressing lyrics .... dig the psychadelic wah wah on this one ...

Hey Len - this is a weird one - the music is pretty up tempo and rockin, whereas the vocals are quite restrained but intense - reminds me very much of Ian Curtis (joy Divisipn). This adds a really great tension to the track - your voice really grew on me as the track played. This does sound like a jam, but with a little work on the structure, you'll have one kickin' track. Would be nice to hear you sing an octave up towards the end to increase the intensity.

Nice work, man.

Thanks Steve... &mdash 06/10/07 - 07:35:46 AM
...Just been listening to Joy Division, see what you mean. I will try to sing an octave higher, not sure if I can. This is what I love about this site, really constructive and thought provoking. I cannot thank you enough for giving me the confidence to carry on and try harder.

Thanks again Steve.

For many years I have thought that my voice is absolutely awful. I still think it. But because of the encouragement I am beginning to wonder.

Your words made me do a new song this afternoon and I have just uploaded it. I would appreciate it if you had a listen http://www.macjams.com/song/32561.

Ugh, back to work tomorrow!

Nothing wrong with depressing words ... &mdash 06/16/07 - 08:11:19 AM
I really like the structure here with the wild wah guitar. The song has quite a kick to it.

Just reading your reply to Steve's comment ... I think it's the curse all singers face that we think our voices sound awful. I don't much like mine a lot of the time and I only ever hear the faults in it. Your voice has a dark and coolly deadpan quality to it (er ... that's meant to be a compliment) which suits the style of song that you write really well, so just have a little faith in it and remind yourself that others won't hear it as negatively as you do!

Just doing &mdash 06/26/07 - 03:54:59 PM
a return visit and glad I did. This is good stompin' stuff and I really like the voice. I kept wondering who you sound like and I think it's a bit Mick Jagger-ish but deeper, (maybe your pronunciations) what do you think? It sounds great whatever and the Wah guitar sounds great, M

[ Reply to This ]
Thanks Again... &mdash 06/27/07 - 07:42:29 AM
...Maurice, very nice of you to leave such nice comments. I actually think that I sound like total rubbish and I can't think of anyone famous that might be similar. I am starting to wonder though.... maybe it's not so bad... maybe it's people being polite... maybe... maybe... if I dream a little.
Cheers

Old School feel &mdash 06/28/07 - 12:56:11 PM
With the raw voice, wah, and up-front live sounding drums this has a very late 60s early 70s vibe. Still my favorite period in rock music (Maybe because I was back in high school then).

As for the depressing words, it's not me, but it's not just you either. It's Alannah also lol

Old School &mdash 06/28/07 - 05:20:22 PM
I think you might be correct Michael, that's way back when I was playing in bands. Probably just stuck in that period. Thank you very much for listening and commenting.
Cheers

That was &mdash 04/29/08 - 09:11:31 AM
a very nice surprise Chris - very pleased you liked it. It was very much just an improvised jam. I have recently re-mixed it and it sounds a bit beefier now. It's a shame that we can't just overwrite these songs with newer versions. It's not worth re-posting.
Will listen to yours' a bit later, after work. Thanks very much for taking the time to root out this old one - appreciated.
Cheers
