ok been workin on this for a few weeks now, and although theres still some issues still present im gettin tired of workin on it, so i figured that id just upload what i have and hopefully i'll pick this project up again sometime soon.
all writen and recorded by myself using a line 6 dx-1 and audacity sound recorder, all guitar and vocal parts performed by myself with piano and synth parts made in fruity loops and exported into the recording.
hopefully a future version will be better quality, some alterations to the lyrics, and possibly some drums in the secod section....im still undecided on weather to add some or not.
anywho enjoy!!

lyrics:
i see what is wrong
but i know its hopeless

you left this scene
i kew it was ending

i drank till i fell
and my mind was empty

you told me to leave
but the door wontopen

sing me a song
that wont remind me

the stars in your eyes
are there when i close mine

i wrote with my blood
all these letters unopened

now i sit here alone
and im sorry

i just cant see this through

Nice :)

I liked the song man, pretty well executed, nice riff, nice concept, nice lyrics, everything is fine.

I just found a little slip in the very begin of the song, it's in the 0:12 to 0:13, the timing was wrong, i don't know if it was on purpose, but if it was, sounded very strange.

Also, your voice was trembling a bit, and you sung a bit out of the guitar's rhythm, I could notice that in the harder part. The guitar was very cool, but it was soooo lonely, the piano was nice together, but in the end, I think you could add a drum, just like in "Sairway to Heaven", it would sound cooler and give more life to your voice!

Anyway, I liked the song, very well done, but it was a bit rough on the edges, you can make do an even better job if you add drums. It'll look soooo bad-ass... Keep it up man!

yeah not sure if that slip was me or if it was my recording programme skipping. it does do it again later, but its hidden by other things going on.
And yeah definatly gonna add drums, so far everyones commented on it.

cheers for the review dude!

Not bad

It's not really my favorite genre anymore, but I think you did a great job with this. In other words, I totally see what you were going for and I think you executed it rather well.

The song does have rather depressing feel to it, and the lyrics support that. The soft beginning worked pretty well, in my opinion. It set the mood perfectly. When the song picked up later on I didn't like it so much...it almost sounded like it wasn't mixed very well...or I was listening to a low quality song.

It was still okay, but I just don't think it was as good as it could have been. The vocals are good throughout the song though, especially in the beginning.

I agree about the drum criticism for the heavy part 100%. I think that would make it sound much better.

Keep at it.

horsebugger responds:

thanks for the review. yeah its defo the end section that i need to work on, and to be honest ive only done some basic panning and levels, so thats why it seems a bit low quality. hopefully iron these issues when i finish it.

thanks again

Soft Rock feel

To be honest even though it starts with just a guitar and chorus feel it has more of a soft indie rock feel to it, it seems. The lyrics somewhat make you feel down but that seems to be the purpose of most blues songs right?

The guitar seems to follow a soft rhythm with a more electric feel to it every once in awhile during the song. The riff seems to play off as real soft which sounds decently nice anyways, nice work there. Liked it when it got dark and heavy a bit later in the song which was great!

The chorus sounds kind of like a mix of wind and an angelic voice simply humming the tune all along, nice work o the chorus.

The lyrics were nice and delivering as well, awesome, nice work on it.

Overall it turned out great but I think when you started the heavy part that you could have possibly added a drum riff to it to make it sound a bit better, aside from that this actually turned out quite good.

thank you very much, the review is much appreciated.

yeah i like the heavy part as it is, but i agree that drums may make it sound fuller, when i pick the project up again i may try adding some.
