Reviews for "Rainy Sunday"

Okay, you are MUCH better than I was when I first started out. Good Job!
But this needs some work. You do not have a melodic line. This is crucial to your song's uniqueness. This also makes the song sound thin. The Bassline does have a quasi-melodic vibe to it. (See Brody Quest) But it does not carry on well. It also does not conform to the Chords at all through this.

The Drumline is excellently done, but keep in mind the crash symbol should normally strike on the measure of a new idea. (Such as adding an instruement) That is the one thing i'd change with the Drumline.

Keep up the good work, you seem very promising.

Far from perfect, however, it's a very good start.

First off, before anything, avoid putting out songs when they are at very early stage. People will usually prefer seeing a finished product than rough unfinished demo of the song you're working on. That said, let's move on to the actual review.

I found your drums very rough. The snare sounded louder than the kick, but that might be my laptop speakers playing a trick on me. The patterns alternated which is good, kept me a bit more interested than if you would have made a simple pattern.

The melody itself... well there wasn't much of a melody. I could only hear a bassline and chords playing. I found the bassline to be quite boring, it was just not very interesting. Maybe it was it's linear progression that simply didn't do it for me. :(

Now, the chords... the chords. I thought they were rather repetitive. I liked the twist at the end but the overall pitch progression is still the same. What I suggest is alternating chord patterns and adding a melody. Unless you did it on purpose, I suggest you have a melody to drive the song and have chords do the background work. In that case, then yes, you can have them repeat. A good example is Radiohead's "Everything in Its Right Place". Chords make up the whole song, and they're constantly changing, making the song very interesting to listen to.

I think this song lacks substance. It's very bland. To improve on that I suggest having more instruments and harmonies playing at the same time. Of course, you can go all minimalist and play very little but it only works out for some songs. ;)

That said, overall it's good but needs lots of work. It kind of reminded me the kind of stuff I made back when I started out. It's missing a hole that only experience will teach you how to fill. This has potential, it just needs more! Please, do continue to make music and get better at it :)

Scouted! :D
