Description:
Follow-up-in-progress to "Just Not Right".

Not quite happy with it, and i think it needs bass, and something more like the chimes on the other song... making this is a "first draft" eh?

Lyrics:
I listened far too long
to warrant caution signs
Don't worry about this song -
I haven't lost my mind.

Suppose I really am
an angel after all.
All the good I've done,
I could have let you fall!

I've created worlds alone
brought them to their feet
I would give them all to you
but there is not enough to see.

There are signs I will not read,
roads I can not choose.
Bones that I can't break
Powers not affordable to use.

Hardware:
macbook pro, alesis multimix 8, sound booth, griffin imic, 2000's Audio mic

Software:
LE7, some demo plugins

Nice tune &mdash 10/17/07 - 01:42:33 PM
good singing - I like the contrast with the dry and slightly more processed vox - and the melody is catchy.

And I know what you mean, people always call me angel as well ;-) Not yet, I tell them - but maybe I am an angel after all...

Looking forward to the next mix.

Good Tune &mdash 10/17/07 - 03:36:14 PM
You may want to look up old Tom Tom Club recordings. They feature Tina Weymouth from the Talking heads. She is a great bass player and the music is close to the style you have here.

Well done!

Haven't heard the other versions but I love the chorus where all the harmonies come in - is really unusual and original.What a sweet voice you have! Unusual chords - quite a fascinating creation.Sounds like it might benefit from a guitar somewhere,but hmm I'm gonna listen again,such was your delivery and deep but simple lyrics

Cheers - RG

I didn't know that MJ had 'Pop (alternative)' category until now but with its pop/dance beat, infectious chorus and quirky sweetly perturbing lyrics this song fits it perfectly! Highly original and imaginative work - and it's great to hear you singing again.

Cool &mdash 10/25/07 - 11:55:04 AM
tune. The vox sound really good. It will be intersting to hear what the bass will sound like.

i was just listening to JUST NOT RIGHT at home, and realized I haven't stopped by in a while.

for me, this is a real treat - what a great follow up to NJR.

this is a venture in a different direction, but with that comes the satisfaction of your vocal arrangement.

well done! and thank you!
