Description:
this was a jam i did a while ago when i really needed an emotional release. this is pretty much all i do when i'm not at work or sleeping. play randomly and sing to myself. i had to stop before i was done because my laptop had become unplugged and was about to shut off hence the beeping sound at the end of the track going hurry up before i die on you. i may disect this one to make a structured song.. there are certain parts of it that always really grab me.. especially a part somewhat near the end.

Lyrics:
too many to list.. i think the vocals are pretty clear on this one so they shouldn't be too hard to make out.

Hardware:
tone port ux2 condensor mic fender accoustic

Software:
cakewalk

thank you i was just jamming so it was all random and off the top of my head. i spend most of my days jamming and randomly singing to myself and i was in a very emotional state when i sang this i'm glad you enjoyed it.

I agree with Dee - great singing on this one. Maybe it has just the right amount of reverb to make it sparkle over the guitar. Your intakes of breath (before delivering the next line)in the latter part of the song were a good effect (like John Lennon's singing on Girl)
Nicely done!

nice &mdash 04/24/08 - 11:00:44 PM
This is a great jam especially considering you came up with it in the moment. My random jams don't sound nearly as structured as this.
I could hear the emotion in your vox and I think that is what makes the song shine.

Nice post Chance

thats one thing i've always wanted to put into my songs is the fact that if i can get in the right mood i can sing so differently. i'm glad you enjoyed it.

Your voice sounds &mdash 04/26/08 - 04:01:06 PM
great on this. There is terrific emotion and feeling in your singing. The fact that you are improvising this is quite astounding really. You may want to do something more structured with this, but if you do, I hope you don't lose the raw power that is evident in this performance. Nicely done. Peace.

improvising songs such as this seems to be the only thing im good at lol its been a long road getting the same feeling into structured things. a lot of my songs started off this way but always lose a lot once i structure them. fallen angel started this way.
