Lyrics
I step into the world
wind gusts, feel the wind rush
brush against my face
sending chills from my nape
down my spine
from another time and place
wonder why
it got so cold outside
and so I
zip my jacket to my collar
shove my hands into my pockets
feel the crumpled dollar
from the other day
when I was
on the train
just roaming aimlessly
hoping to erase the image
of a face so strange to me
were the familiar street signs
eyes that just couldn't see right
I grab the iPod and rewind
but that song is long gone
the cold wind is so strong
I cup my hands and blow on them
just to feel something
but I believe in memories
been staring at too many screens
the lights make me squint
but the thought makes my eyes glint
and so I smile for a minute
and wonder where the time went
where the time went...

winter wind like an omen
cold like cash
reminding me that summer is golden
but it don't last
reminding me that summer is golden
but it don't last
reminding me that summer is golden

nice rappin
cool sounding track. lyrics and delivery very good, music suits it well.
Only nitpick is that Vocal is a bit "out front" and dry-sounding... maybe could use a bit of reverb or compression or something? I'm not an expert in recording vocals but perhaps someone else could weigh in...
However, the talent is there! that's the important thing...

thanks
i agree, the vocal is a bit up front. ill bring it back some. maybe add some more reverb although I tend to dislike smearing the voice too much. also, I think i'll be doing another vocal track to accent specific parts of the song. this one will be reposted sometime in the near future.

thanks for the feedback! its those kinds of suggestions that really help me achieve the sound I want. nice tunes by the way. peace.

Lovely
I can imagine the windy city can get really cold and cutting. The music is really nice esp the strings as they give a dreamy texture to the track which matches the lyrics which is about memories.
I like the way you sing some lyrics and rap others, that works. Feedback, well I agree with Relic about the vocal, however compression would be best and the hollow beat needs a bit of compression as well as it hisses at the ends of the sound. Thats it really, not much feedback as the track has been done really well. Well done El, really liked this track.

very nice, loved the intro bars. I like your versatility..This is different than what ive heard from you.. hybrid spoken word/hip hop meets blues..deep beat and deep flow, you did a good job vocally on this..delivery and emotion was right on..very cool shit, look forward to our track dude.

Fresh
I like those chord changes, definitely not just another hip hop mix.
Mix very well too . . .

thanks scaustrita!
i really appreciate you checking it out! I can't really take credit for the chord changes, other than that I selected the loop out of GB's loop library. I'm never confident about my mixes, so to hear that I'm doing something right means alot. ill be checking out some of yours!

P.S. you might like my latest one if you dig this.
