Experience with a band led me to here...Not that it was successful, but it mad me push myself lyrically and musically. Got me to learn how to rock more but am trying to recover back to my "folk rock" tradition mixing with british influences in between the more obscure and unheard of...Hope you like :) Love to learn more from other muscians. http://D34N3.bandamp.com/ admin@bandamp.com http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/6207.html Long long long flippin time. This is basically how I've been feeling. The stress and despair is felt and heard in my strained vocals. I'm not defending it, being poor quality as it is noted anyway, or what have you. This is just how sometimes people make me feel these days. Nothing personal to anyone here. Just venting... :scream: :mad: :sleep: Tue, 18 Mar 2008 01:38:29 -0400 http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/5734.html This is a work in progress. It is Very Very raw at best. My voice is still recovery as you can tell as I strain the words towards the beginning of the phrasing "supposed to live next door." OVerall, it takes me back to the simple naivete I once possessed when learning the guitar on my own for the first time. For two years, I've just been a passive listener studying various styles and then going back to my own style in a basic way. There is room for improvement I know, but I have stayed away from the usual now. I no longer drink coffee nor have whip cream with my hot chocolate (yes it's come down to cocoa-expensive though, since I decompress after work at Starbucks-hey an artist has to get some inspiration some where).... Anyway, the song is simple in the words that follow. I'm still needing to expand the lyrics. There not as creative as I'd like them to be. I'm no Ben Gibbard, though i aspire to be someday :) PEOPLE THINK THEY KNOW WHAT I'M ABOUT BUT I'M ABOUT TO PLANT THE SEEDS OF THEIR DOUBT WHO KNOWS WHAT THE FUTURE WILL BRING WHO KNOWS WHICH WAY THEIR HEART WILL SWING I LAY IN MY BED CARRYING MY HEAD IN MY HANDS COZ THE BOY WHO WAS SUPPOSED TO LIVE NEXT DOOR HAS YET TO MOVE IN AND SWEEP ME OFF MY FEET. SOMEBODY TELL ME LOVE GETS EASY AS THE DAYS GET LONGER OH, WHERE IS MY BOY NEXT DOOR.... abrupt stop sorry.... So yes, this isn't my usual or favorite kind of theme. Girl waiting for boy to come and rescue her lonely heart, but it speaks of what i feel most people have misconceptions about my love life. I just haven't met that special someone. Yeah, I know, you can't just wait around for the "guy to move in", but maybe this song will speak to someone else's dilemma that echoes in this song?...I don't know. The one thrill I got about writing songs in the beginning is how my friends who I mailed tapes to would say that most of my songs would become relevant, if not immediately when I gave it to them but perhaps later in life which help them understand and get through their situations in life....It's moments like these that makes me want to be a songwriter again :).... Please leave feedback and tell me what you think I sound like :) Mon, 19 Nov 2007 09:46:58 -0500 http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/2470.html Don't throw stones. I'm new. The drum intro is long and the mixing is unbalanced. I know it. You know it. Room for improvement :) Haha...Anyways, be gentle with your comments and criticisms. Wed, 17 May 2006 10:07:36 -0400 http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/2759.html The lyrics pretty are straight forward, at least in the beginning. It's a bit melancholy for days gone by, and friends that have come and gone but wish they have stayed...Let me know what ya think ;) Wed, 14 Jun 2006 21:06:24 -0400 http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/3387.html Came from a long vacation overseas and brought back a bad cold and cough...Just showing my "face" so to speak to let you know I haven't died. It's been awhile since I've updated. The quality of recording I know isn't the greatest, but it is from my back catalog of analog cassette recording (you know, prehistoric era-smile). Anyways, I hope you enjoys it :) Fri, 29 Sep 2006 23:30:39 -0400 http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/2757.html Okay, it's been a loooonggggg while. Since I couldn't perfect my last song due to time constraints, I have this raw song to share with you folks. I mean it's soooo raw I have just my voice and guitar for accompaniment...So go ahead and throw your stones or flowers, whatever you prefer ;) (Forgive the background noise. My heater started to act up...I was in the basement after all) Wed, 14 Jun 2006 20:42:09 -0400 http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/2758.html This was an adventure. This was performed during a local open mic. Since then, I've been wanting to capture it in MP3 format for uploading to get feedback on what others think about this song. For example, what artists do you hear when you hear this song. Yes, I know my mix of songs are diverse, so bear with my musical schizophrenia ;P...Plus, would love to hear what it makes YOU feel in general. Look forward to your thoughts....
