Description
I am uploading this again with some very minor but very important changes (important to me, anyway). This is my newest song, about modernism, the future, the past, Platonism, materialism, graphic design, and other things. I guess that sounds kind of pretentious? Named after the font. I really would like some feedback, as I have got none so far. I am still working on this so all thoughts are helpful.
Thanks.

Lyrics
As I sit and learn geometry in my cold sparse living room,
just outside the figures loom, trading information,
O O O Neoplasticism.
And they say that ideas are real, like the numbers in the sky,
like all those unspoken lies that we tell each other,
O O O Neoplatonism.
She lives in Sunset Junction, says she's an artist.
Lots of pretty colors, but I'm not impressed by her.
Life in the future is streamlined,
simple words and sleek, bold designs.
I'm sick of saying what I don't mean,
speak your mind after all we're all machines.
And I know I'll be a happy man, if I find I'm still alive,
in nineteen-hundred twenty-five. I hope I can make it.
O O O Neoplasticism.
She just got back from China, now she's a Buddhist.
I just called to remind her that I'm not impressed by her.
Life in the future is unkind,
but at least I know I'll find
balanced proportion and harmony,
complicated simplicity.
I write my letters in Futura.
I write my letters in Futura.
I write my letters in Futura.

Best font tune since Helvetica Neue BoldCondensed!
:)

Nice tune. Like the jangally, acoustic feel. Cool lyrics. The mix sounds pretty good. Maybe a little more bass to it, but otherwise I like it.

Ah, I feel so much better...I enjoy your tune.
Copy the bass track, pan the two against each other. Timing issues appear as the tune grows, cut and paste can be a problem at a global view, maybe it needs tightening?

Bass
Thanks guys, I upped the bass a bit per your suggestions. I think it's improved. As for the timing issues, I think you're right, but I don't have the time to rerecord from scrach. Thanks for the help!

Yes I like it
Love the sound on the guitar and the song is excellent. I think in the chorus the harmonies could be a bit more up front, just my own opinion.

I joined this site in 2004, and most of what I posted was...not so hot. Most of it somehow got deleted from the system over the years, thankfully. In 2006, I went to grad school, and I didn't record much music. I only got back into recording and per... [see more]
