Another preview of my Album. "Alone". Music, Lyrics, Piano, Vocals, Synth, Drum Programming and Mixing by me. The amazing Sean Johnson on Guitar and Live Drums, and Kevin McKee on Bass.

Lyrics:

"Darkness is all that need,
To cloak me from cruelty and greed,
I think that I'm safer unseen,
I'm tired of this sort of thing,

Oh when I'm hidden in the shadows,
Prying eyes can't see,
They can't look on me,
Oh please don't look at me,
Reality.

I want to go through life alone,
Though it means I'll be on my own,
They'll never find me if I stay unknown.

Far in the shadows I hide,
Within them protected inside,
I try to blend in with the crowd,
The others become my shroud.

It's my choice and mine alone,
To go through life anonymously,
They won't find me,
But still I'm lonely,
Reality.

I want to go through life alone,
Though it means I'll be on my own,
They'll never find me if I stay; stay unknown.

Alone."

Amazing. The guitar sounds epic in the bridge. I don't see anything wrong with the chorus. Depp. It reminds me of something my friend Landon would write.

"It's real good, but..."

I'm afraid I must agree with many of the comments here. The vocals in the chorus just don't fit the music. Maybe add some electro or something to it. It's a bit too plain compared to the music. Otherwise, nice job. This is the first of yours I've heard. Hope the others are just as good, or even better.

I wish I had a growl to my voice like David Grohl or Chad Kroeger, but I just don't so I make due with what I've got. My other songs fit my voice better, but what can I say, I love to rock even if nature didn't give me the gravelly pipes for it. ^_^

"WOW"

I really like this. Though theres something missing in the chorus, maybe do something with your voice or something? Your verse vocals are awesome though. Very deep.

I loved it, but the chorus seemed funny to me.
The verses fit nicely.

I wrote a chord progression I've never heard before for the choruses. Thanks for the review.
