Description:
What i think about time... I think that it's not fair

Lyrics:
time time time
our life lines
time time time
what a
what a horrible thing
yet we are forced to bow down for it
you can feel the tension in the room
the minute they both sit down
you can tell by the look on her face
the look in his eyes
something is wrong
something went wrong
in time
oh time
can be so forgiving
though time
also your worst enemy
oh in time
oh that time
oh that time
oh time time
broken life lines
why can't
why can't he or whoever controls this deed
slow down when you it to
speed up when you need it to
no
no it lets time flow
like that time
like that time
you can feel the oy in the room
the moment they both sit down
you look you can see it in her face
you can see it in his eyes
it's because of time
ticking clock on the wall
tell me what
who has the fairest time
of all.

Not fair... &mdash 02/11/08 - 05:16:31 PM
...but still thair...

I like the way you use opposites, beginning and end, with the couple sitting in the room...

"...who has the fairest time of all..."

indeed...

Cool tune, Evangeline...

I'll tell you what's not fair... &mdash 02/11/08 - 07:18:07 PM
I get tipped off to your stuff by your dad, who is justifiably proud, and so I check it out as someone who likes and respects your father very much would do...and I really like it...

And what's more, it's three days later, and you're on your third or fourth song already, and I'm already genuinely interested in your songwriting depth and development...

This reminds me a little of Bowie's 'Time' from Aladdin Sane...and somewhat of Kate Bush... I think you have a very original approach to lyric writing and how to sing and phrase them across the chords/melody line...

I want to know if you are playing the piano yourself. I continue to appreciate your singing.

As to recording chops... what mic are you using? On this one, (but not the others, as far as I recall), there is a fair amount of sibilance, and I think that the reverb is accentuating it, making for too much 'sss' in the mix...It's probably at its worst over headphones. I can't guess where the sibilance is coming from, but it would be good to work on that in terms of chasing the better mix. A good mic, a pop filter, a gate and some messing around with positioning might help.

My other suggestion is that you check out ledebutant's songs, and maybe get a little mentoring from her, 'cause I think your approaches might not be so different... I think you'd appreciate each others' stuff a lot...

Okay, enough from me.

Ed
