Description:
Just me and my stratocaster and bongoes, no effects except at the first. Very rough demo, really just for artistic purposes... I didn't really care about mixing it right or whatever, just wanted to get the idea down while it was still in my head.
Lyrics:
Suddenly I'm very cold
And it feels strange not caring about you, old friend
All it took was for me to hear you speak
Word travels far on a starving man's feet
So I took some time away
New love turned some night into day
But the sun cracks the hardening clay
Till only pieces remain
Then all washed away
So I called you up then quickly changed my mind
Now I sit under the stars and think of when I was all right

Ok ... I'm gonna be honest here ..... &mdash 03/16/08 - 03:46:43 AM
... being a HUGE fan of this type of dark acoustic stuff .... I think you could turn this into something worthy ... but its all in the MIX .... the hiss was distracting .... the panning could use a little juicing up ..... very muffled vocals ..... I liked the song overall ... and wish it was mixed better .... would you consider talking to some of the MJers here who know more about this stuff and tweaking this out some ??? Cause the vibe and the mood was definitely there for me ..... I would almost be inclined to think that if you sent me your tracks I could attempt to give it an overhaul .... but ... I could likely improve on the mix ... but my skill level is so lacking I know I couldn;t do what some of the heavy hitters here do ! ya know ????? If I could be so bold ... I would also add that this could be made longer into a whole song and would likely hit the mark more... felt like a snippet .. to short ! [ Reply to This ]

Why is it ..... &mdash 03/17/08 - 08:14:00 PM
.. that despite saying that the song was liked in the first instance .... but then go on to suggest that with a little mixing it could be golden .... it is taken as an insult of some sort ... what happened to constructive helpful remarks .... [ Reply to This ]
well, &mdash 03/18/08 - 12:27:07 AM
no, it's not you really, it's like every song i put on here a bunch of people down it somehow... and then i go onto other people's sites and people give them lots of good comments because they're "famous" on macjams but their music is terrible. i've listened to very very few actually good songs on macjams the whole time i've used it but people get good feedback just because others want good feedback back. it's rediculous. i'd much rather produce a song that people will like and relate to than a song that is just tasteless and bland but has "good mixing". i could care less about mixing, you sit down and it takes about 30 minutes to mix a song, all my time is already taken up mixing the songs for my band Blood Soul so i don't really care about my personal music i put on here. that's all i'm sayin.

a worthy idea &mdash 03/22/08 - 09:18:24 AM
i agree with alannah's comment. it's my style and i'd be intrigued to hear a refined version if you ever finish the idea that sparked this. the dark quality of it is something that i love but seem to rarely find. definitely an idea worth continuing i rather liked the guitar part in it.

Stepping out &mdash 04/01/08 - 01:22:23 PM
I commend you for sharing this,being a rough demo and all.I too like the dark and disconnected feel of the piece,as it brings to mind thoughts and feelings many folks i beleive,can relate to.As with what Alannah said,I agree this could grow into a very solid tune with a little bit of overhauling in the mastering department.The foundation is certainly there lyically and musically.Take those seemingly negative comments and use them as stepping stones and not stumbling blocks.Glad I stopped by for a listen.
