Description:
This is a remixed and re-recorded version of my song Sun Stroke i uploaded last year. The vocals are a lot clearer than the earlier version and the mixing is better overall. Hope you like it.

(Update) - Ive added the lyrics now - i forgot the last time

Lyrics:
Ive Lost my place
Whats the point of it all?
You Try and Try
There are no answers

This life is a waste
Ive decided to leave this place
they're are no goodbyes
Theres Noone to leave behind
noone to grieve

I feel the warmth, the sun is burning
I try to hide
There is no shade
Nothing Changes anymore
even breathings too much like a chore

There is no shade
there is no shade

Hardware:
PowerMac G4 1Ghz, 768Mb Ram, Keystation 49

Software:
Garageband 2.0, Amplitube, T-Racks

Airy high vocals work perfectly &mdash 04/06/05 - 08:23:02 AM
You have a wonderful voice, light and airy yet compelling,
with a wonderful smooth sense. The track cuts off in a
strange and seemingly unintended way, tho. (I'd like to
read your lyrics, too.) Good mix. Glad you let your vocals
be the centerpiece.

About the ending... &mdash 04/06/05 - 08:40:43 AM
...it is cut short suddenly on purpose? Kinda fitting
for the content of the song - contemplating suicide...
Anyway, I think you have a great voice and the lyrics
really cut to the heart. The guitar at the end was a
nice touch. The music elsewhere was just a little
plodding for me. Keep working on this one... you've
got a good song here.

About the ending... &mdash 04/06/05 - 03:17:29 PM
The song wasn't quite spossed to end so abrupt. well it was, but it wasnt (makes no sense lol). i was gonna have it end and u'd just hear the reverb from the instruments for a second and that was it. but i uploaded it without thinking lol.

Thanks for your comments.

sound for MJs. You have a great song here. Very well
written. Deducted slightly for not including lyrics. I
enjoyed this one. Thx for sharing.

Song without hope &mdash 04/06/05 - 04:41:37 PM
This is a lovely tune, but why write a song about suicide?
(Not a rhetorical question.)

Well produced, but like Holiday of Fools, I have trouble
connecting with the empty lyrics. Just me.

Both performance and production are excellent (minus
abrupt ending).
You have an very good, expressive singing voice.

Tom makes a good point &mdash 04/07/05 - 03:20:42 PM
I really like Tom's comment.
I really like this tune, I think it has great melody with the
music and voice. Good voice, but lets hear some hope?
Your music to good to waste it on hopelessness.

It's just a matter of tweaking a few words here and there.

But I know when I was younger I got into kind of helpless
words, then I started writing fun novelty tunes just so I
wouldn't be so unhappy.
It is very easy to get into without questions.

Good luck with your well crafted talent!

Well. I thought that the creative process was being "creative" and writing something that came from inside. Your saying that you like the song but you dislike the lack of hope - fine comment but the lack of hope is the song. thats what its about. its meant to lack hope. thats the purpose, the lyric. the reason.

Thanks for taking the time to comment.
