Nice entry into the forum song posting thing!

We enjoyed the grunge feel to the vocals -- fascinating how many places this lyric has been taken.

The mix sounds good on our monitors. Nice build and super cool outro.

Thanks for posting the info on how you produced it. Few do this but we always enjoying the tech backstory.

More!

Thanks for the compliments Torrey! I kept the vocals low on the verse parts since my voice had a hard time hitting those low notes sounding like a moan. I didn't want to boost that! smile

Thanks Robert! I will do what I can to get something out in the future.

Good call, with each passing of the chorus phrase I stacked more instruments and vocal layers until the last chorus at the end.

Thanks Shigeki! I thought maybe a key of F or G would have been better than the C Major I chose. I will make sure to use a higher key on the next song I do!

Janne, you are very good in that description! I actually modelled the Tonal Balance in Ozone 8 Mastering to the Weezer song, "Say It Isn't So". Good call!

Thanks for the compliment Tommy! I won't be cranking out songs near as often as most folks but will do what I can.

A great start on your first song. I thought it was very smooth and moved along well. The vocals seemed fine to me. Love hearing everyone's take on this song, very interesting. And now that you've done your first one???? We'll be waiting.

Despite saying that you don't feel like you're much of a musician compared to some of the others in this forum, I definitely think you held your own and gave us something truly unique. wink Also, that picture attachment made me laugh out loud!

Thanks Ember, much appreciated! Mongo was just the first thing that came to mind on those low notes since he did a line or two on the songs at the end of that movie. At least I know where my bottom is now! smile

Put the video up last night.

I have references in it for my friends Joanne, MarioD (Painting), and of course Eddie (Drones!)

Really well done, sslechta! The backing tracks here are great. The arrangement is superb, and super professional sounding. Someone else mentioned it too - but it really shows a proper grasp of mixing methodology. It makes it sound really clean and professional. And of course, all around it's just a catchy tune.

Great job, and thanks so much for sharing smile


Cheers,
Deryk
