I started dreaming, it was getting late.
I met Saint Peter at the pearly gates,
He smiled at me and he said with a grin,
Don’t even try you, you’re not getting in.

... I burst out laughing at the end of line four. Such a brilliant way to set the tone for the whole song! Very, very clever writing. These lyrics played as images in my mind while you sang and I could so easily see St Peter standing in front of the pearly gates, shaking his upright index finger like window wipers on a car and saying... "no way buddy".

For me, this was pure enjoyment from top to bottom! Loved it. The sound and style is what we'd call a 'bush band' here in Australia - it's kind of folk meets sea-shanties meets Irish jigs and reels smile

I'm really looking forward to what you'll come up with next.

All the best,
Noel





Thanks Noel glad it gave you a laugh, I always appreciate your take on song, and the help that you gave doing those pdf's on how you construct your own songs.

Thanks for the info too on the "bush band" does gave a new meaning to the old expression "to beat around the bush"

Thanks again.

I like that it is unpretentious and the idea we will meet all our mates in hell. Cheers.


Hey thanks a lot for having a listen Rich, glad you enjoyed having a listen and maybe gave you a laugh.

A very enjoyable song. The song has a nice sound to it, not too bright or too much bass. I can envision the beer mugs swinging in the air while this is sung in a pub. smile


Thanks Jim for taking the time to have a listen, we do love our Guinness too much here in Ireland and having a sing along to go with it.

I enjoyed that and it reminded me of the hangovers from the fun nights I spent in pubs in Cricklewood and Kilburn many decades ago.

All my mates are in Hell also!

Wonderful song.

Good video to go with it

Enjoyed

Alyn thanks a lot, like yourself I too spent quite a while in London around Cricklewood Kilburn and Fulham, Fun times, I still go on google street view to have a look around even though its 20 years since I was there.

Thnaks a lot Janice and Bud, still learning and trying to improve the recording skills, and quite a way to go yet.

My only comment is that your vocal seems a bit soft to me, but it might just be your voice, and not the mix. In any event, I'd take floyd's advice any day before listening to me. wink


Thanks David for having a listen, will take your advice when doing the next song to see how it turns out, I got an inexpensive condenser mic so will try that next time to see how things go, maybe try a bit of EQ or something to gave vocal more bite.

That was a fun listen. I think floyd is right a little slowdown might work well. Tom


Thanks Tommy for taking a listen and the advice about timing, to be honest when recording that I couldn't do the vocal in one take as I would have ran out of breath, for some reason or other over here the country groups that play at open air concerts seem to speed everything up, don't really know if they do it because people are sometimes jiving and they want to give them a good quick beat to dance to.

Thanks a lot everybody for all the advice, I prefer that people are straight talking and tell me where they think I could improve, really that is the only way I can learn for the future.

Really appreciated everyone taking the time to listen.
