What She Did

Author Comments

A song about WHAT SHE DID. Heavily influenced by Japandroids. Hope you guys like it.

Lyrics:

I clothe her
With my sincerest love
I loan her
The sincerest trust

And yet all my words fall into the abyss
And yet all my time is rendered meaningless
And yet all my words fall into the abyss
And yet all my time is rendered meaningless

EDIT: 5/25 I remixed it. Made it more err "full sounding" or something.

Review

-While reading the author comments beforehand it made me honestly chuckle at the EDIT part. It's not necessarily funny but it's serious and then takes a dramatic turn at that part.

-It seems like someone was influenced by an obscure band. It's not usual to see a song with lyrics structured in this way. It makes it seem almost like a 2000-2003 emo band with the slow-fast-slow-fast style but it's a rock song for the most part.

-This could definitely use some more variety in the instumentals and have the vocals a little louder since they get drowned out by the instruments in the beginning.

0:00-Nice opening set of chords, sets the song up well
0:19-Vocals are drowned out by the instruments in the verses. If you didn't have the lyrics typed I'd have had a trying time working out what you were saying. It also sounds like you stray from the intended pitch a lot; while at points this feels like simple vocal fall-offs which work well, at other points it sounds like you're having trouble holding the melody, so definitely keep that in check.
0:49-Nice chorus, you can hear the vocals a lot better (though the timing seems a little off at 1:03), but now it's the guitar which seems muddied and lost; you can't really hear much definition in it at all.
1:27-Same opening chords again, to the point where it sounds like you just copy/pasted it from the into; could have done with a little more instrumental variation as the vocals are saying the exact same thing. That being said, the drums change up which is nice to see and definitely a needed variation, but changing the guitars a little as well wouldn't have gone amiss.
2:17-Chorus again. I didn't notice last time, but here the vocal rhythm of the chorus feels forced, especially at the 4th line at the "all my time"; like you're trying to squish all the words into the one line.
2:38-Niiiice break, feels very different from what came before. No complaints at all, save for the one that it didn't come earlier in the track, because it does work well.
2:54-Transition back into the chorus felt way too abrupt, could have definitely had a longer break.

In general, you've got a good set of chords, good premise...could use more lyrics, as the same 7 lines repeated three times gets a little tiresome...and definitely think about extending that break, because it was an instrumental highlight of the track.

Thanks man! Glad you didn't find it terrible!

I'm actually just trying out the style of this band called Japandroids, which is like this 2 guy band and they sound MASSIVE, and their lyrics are most of the time always like a couple lines repeated over and over.
