Hello Dewey
Really good song
The verse and bridge are excellent
For the chorus I would add a distorted rhythm guitar
But that's a matter of taste
In any case I liked your song very much
Many greetings
Andi ;-)

Good narrative and the vocal performance is cool.
There does need to be some arrangement switch to lift the chorus...whether it be a pulled back pre chorus, a surprise instrument or a key change.


Cheers

thanks Ray, that seems to be the consensus! I'll for sure experiment with some "chorus" lifting techniques/instruments. Love the constructive criticism because i want to get better!!

Nice write! Catchy song, solid chorus.

I'm with [b]rayc[/i] - it would be nice of the instrumentation changed a bit more one the chorus, to frame it a bit more.

I enjoyed the listen.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Dynamic, powerful, well delivered.

That sums up just about everything you produced with this song.

Hi Dewey,

A very nice song, good performance and strong lyrics and vocals!
But I can agree with Ray. I think your song can use some 'surprises', although I also enjoyed it the way it is.
So, to use the title of Marty Straubs' song; now you have 'mixed signals'

A very clever response, Hans, by including Marty's latest effort! Definitely plan to revisit the production in the chorus to see what I can do. Thanks for the feedback!!

Love the vocal, and this is a well written song, Dewey. I agree with What It Needs is a bit more dynamics, although your vocal shines with dynamics. Love the hook. Lyrics are excellent.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Good song, Dewey.

I really liked the prechorus, and I was surprised it only appeared once. Not only it a good lead in to the chorus, but it puts in a slight change of feel. Nice work!
