Noted. Thanks for the tip. I actually knew that the volume was a bit low, but I didn't bother EQ'ing it.

"A good one, one of your better ones :)"

I was going to shoot you in the foot since you started it, but I discovered that if I used headphones instead of my speakers, then the vocals volume was audible.

Just so you know, after I've downloaded your songs, when I hear them come up in my playlist I almost always actually listen to them instead of skipping them like I do with many other songs:) And I often think "wow, this guy's good" *smirk* And then I realize it's your song, and then I think "Ahh, that's why."

Good solo, surprising to hear it like that in this song. I like your riff pattern with your vocals melody in this song.

I'd call this one of your better ones, but reserve from calling it one of your best ones :) But that's still a compliment:) Actually I will note though the lyrics were very good in this song -- and I think the song is the way it's supposed to be.

If you really wanna hear the vocals, go visit http://www.naitzmic.com/music.html
There's a clearer version of this song, and many others, on that page.

I'm quite proud to be on your private playlist at all,
and the fact that you don't just "skip" me makes it all the better.

Glad you liked the melody.
The solo is interesting, at least...

Thanks alot for the review.
Appreciate it lots!

"I liked it. Its a great song."

date: August 14, 2007

The title of the review really sums up how i feel about it. Its a great song... excellent in many ways. The one problem i really have with it is the mixing. You've got a fantastic song, but surely you can tell that the vocals are too quiet? Its not a huge problem by any means, but i think the song would be better improved if they were prominent, otherwise it sounds more like a live recording.
However, as a song (recording aside), i loved it. I loved how you stretched your voice to the max on parts, and the chord progressions were ace. 4 minutes in was a nice surpise. Normally i would push something like that aside as annoying, but it worked almost perfectly with the song. And after this, i feel like the song really kicked off. The high pitched ?soloing? was great, giving a kind of Guns N Roses feel to it. Great stuff man :)

Author's Response:

Yeah, I *completely* agree with you about the sound.
I didn't bother adjusting the volumes at all, in this one actually.
For no other appearent reason than wanting to shoot myself in the foot,
I decided to just skip the mastering process... =\

Glad you didn't turn it off at the 4-minute mark. Hehe.
It's "kind of" unusal even for a solo, in the way that
it's not so much melodic, and instead just "almost-in-key"-tapping,
with a long bend at the end.
As with 90% of my solos, it was improvised rather than
written down note-by-note in advance, and
it was an interesting approach to it - or at least I thought so,
at the time I played it.

The chord progression/melody at large was
the result of two insirational sources.
The first being the band "Manic Street Preachers (which I don't
even particularly like myself), and the second one was - and this
is going to sound ridiculous - Kathrina and the Waves with "Love Shine a Light".
Of course, their infuence was only inspirational and you
can't really tell since the song sounds very little like any of them.

Anyways, thanks alot for the review.
I deeply appreciate it.
