Another song by me. ℗ 1993 Condom Records; A Newgrounds Music Group release.


Lyrics:


Society of the future

It's not here

Make it come sooner

I can't wait

For there to be

Flying cars

That we will see

Will my life

Become greater?

I won't leave

But see you later

When I'm gone

Things will not change

I just think

That things will be the same


Society of the future

It will come

Just not right now

Flying cars

Will be in air

These cars might

Destroy our hair

But I might

Get a girlfriend

If I do

She won't fight me

I know it

And I know

She'll love me very much


Summer's here

Time to kick

Kicking it back

Have root beer

And just relax

My girlfriend

Lays by my side

I sure hope

Summer doesn't end

But it will

That's a damn shame

Things will not

Remain the same

High school years

Don't look back

High school years

Don't look back on them


Society of the future

It will come

Make it come sooner

Flying cars

That we will see

Flying cars

Will be in air

We all dream

Of tomorrow

But our lives

Have been borrowed

In this life

Nothing is free

Take my hand

And you will see

BeepBox for the instrumental, Soundtrap to add vocals

I like the chords at the beginning. The drums could stand to be a bit louder and more up-front in the mix, but otherwise I’m not going to nitpick the mixing. The vocals seem rather uninspired - the tone of them lacks a sense of passion, and often they’re flat and off-beat. In fact, at 1:01, I can tell you’re intentionally holding out some of the notes towards the end of the phrase so that you can get back on the beat. It’s probably better to re-record the vocals entirely then come up with Band-Aid solutions like that. That said, the lyrics themselves are pretty good - you’ve got a decent rhyme scheme and meter laid out, and the subject matter is relatable.

The instrumental track is a bit bland and repetitive. At some point, it would’ve been nice to break up the verse/post-chorus structure of the song with a solo or bridge. That said, I like how the piece ends abruptly, especially after the lines “take my hand, and you will see,” which foreshadow that there’s more to come.

Overall, I’d encourage you to work more on the vocal editing, timing, and inflection, and also flesh out the structural elements of your piece more. When you feel like you’ve done so, feel free to send me a PM, and I’ll give you some more feedback. Until then, keep at it, Diamondman! :)

Made me laugh, but the voice ruins the song

Diamondmanpixel76 responds:

Yeah... if I ever redo this song, I'll try to improve the vocals

the voice ruins it im sorry

Pretty nice, but the voice feels a bit boring.

Diamondmanpixel76 responds:

Thanks for the feedback
