An upbeat rock song

Vocals-Skylar Grossman

Lyrics:
Its hard to see the most wonderful things
When were chasing after an impossible dream
You try your best when your put to the test
Even when our heart feels like its under arrest

At first it seems rough, but you gotta be tough
But we all have to make it through that stupid stuff
And one day it comes true, and you will know through and through
That the something special is waiting for you

We just need to keep on moving on
Or else we live like something is always wrong
Your life will never be undone
Your journey has only begun

One day I decided to walk a hundred miles
Though I figured it might take a while
But I wiped off my grin and shouted lets begin
Because we are in it just for the win

We just need to keep on moving on
Or else we live like something is always wrong
Your life will never be undone
Your journey has only begun

To sail in the wrong direction
And always seek that mere perfection
And to please ourselves in a way
We are the ones who aren’t gonna say

Why do I agonize over making a name
And its worth while I tell you its possible that

We just need to keep on moving on
Or else we live like something is always wrong
Your life will never be undone
Your journey has only begun

Like it a lot &mdash 06/18/07 - 06:08:18 PM
Dig the lyrics, Production sounds pretty digital and fake, but I like the song a lot. Cool part on the keys. Cool backing vox

My kind of song &mdash 06/18/07 - 06:10:15 PM
Id like to hear a box guitar on this.. I think it will give you what you are looking for in the breaks. I think it would add smoothness. I wish I could
write lyrics like this. Do i hear a bit of Kansas in this???

VERY NICE &mdash 06/19/07 - 09:36:43 AM
You have a nice vocal ..
The piano in the intro sounds great ..
i liked the whole thing about this song .. specially in the part when you said "To sail in the wrong direction ..." the music changed into the minor .. it's great ..
Very nice my friend .. (i don't think it's right in ROCK genre .. i think it's in ACOUSTIC)
Thanks for posting .. i enjoyed it a lot

nice rock song &mdash 06/19/07 - 09:51:49 AM
Nice vocals. The song progresses nicely.

My nit-pick: The lyrics remind me of the same way I write prose; not always a good thing - because my lyrics are almost always too 'wordy' and sometimes it makes them too hard to sing and phrase without crowding up the melody line.

Keep up the good work.

i like it.. &mdash 06/19/07 - 12:15:09 PM
middle of the road rock and roll... who can complian about that?
i do agree it is a little wordy.. being a vocalist by design, i find less can be more if less is sung with more conviction. i try to make lyrics like solos with the guitar..
try and use the rhythm section as your guide to work around the melody and enhance the parts of it you want to stand out by singing them into the front of the song...
do not get me wrong... this song is fine as is... just a friendly word of encouragement, and maybe a different direction for you to explore...

Good stuff &mdash 06/19/07 - 12:17:34 PM
Good song construction. Instrumentation is full and has good attack. Voice is a little boxy sounding. And what's that warble in your voice? Must be artifacts of compression, or a silly filter. I'd like to hear your pure voice. You have nice phrasing and good pitch.

Nice chord prog change-up at "To sail in the wrong direction..."

More harmonies, maybe? Ending is a bit abrupt. Why not hold out that last note of "only begun"?

Great job.

Thanx &mdash 06/19/07 - 12:23:25 PM
thanks for the comments. Yea I actually did add some filters to the voice. can anyone recommend me some vocal effects in garageband that could aid in the vocals.

nice &mdash 06/19/07 - 02:17:27 PM
song. all i would add to your vocals would be a touch of reverb (they don't need help at all).

ADVICE &mdash 06/20/07 - 04:30:18 AM
I'd take everything off and just add reverb(middle level not too much or too little) And then maybe double it on the sides.
Hope this is useful.
Later

Good song &mdash 06/20/07 - 04:27:04 AM
Nicely structured song. Have to much effects on the vox(Take that effect off of the voice that keeps the voice in key)It's better to be out of key than to sound like Cher.
But I do like the lyrics and the song in general boys.
Keep it up.
LL
