518 bass
365 guitar
362 guitar
363 pedal steel
Nashville drums

My rhythm guitar is a Martin
Lead guitar is a Taylor
There is some reverb used

I am Riverbear

I've been running, most of my life
Never time to settle down, and anyway there was never anyone who
wanted to stay around

But I know something, I believe is true
maybe I can get through to you... maybe I can get through to you

and the days, they run in hot and cold, and there's no in between
and friends talk around me, but I don't know what they mean
but I have something, that's in my head, maybe I shouldn't have said
maybe I shouldn't have said
and I'm runnin' away in my mind
hidin' in another place, another time
running from the past to a place in the sun
maybe when I get there, there will be someone for me forever
cause... I've been running, most of my life
Never time to settle down, and anyway there was never anyone who
wanted to stay around

Martins are good.

Taylors are good.

And your playing is good!

Enjoyed the production...might want to bump the vocals up a bit but perhaps that's my old ears smile

Welcome to the forums! A really solid first post as well - really liked the groove, and your vocals fit perfectly with everything. It has a really modern feel to it. I can imagine hearing it on an indie rock station.

Looking forward to hearing more from you - thanks for sharing smile

Welcome! You will find that this is a very friendly family here. We're sure glad to have you with us.

The guitars sound really sweet. Like Torrey said, you can't go wrong with Martins or Taylors. I like the reverb & slap on the vocals. Normally I don't prefer as much reverb on lead vox, but this really works for me. I agree, the lead vox could come up just a bit, though.

Really nice first submission! Looking forward to hearing a lot more from you.

Nice sounds. Loved the minor key slow and somewhat jammy feel. I didn't catch all the lyric, but words and music fit well together in both "mood" and rhythm. Much enjoyed.

Hi Riverbar,

Nice song you made.
You have the lyrics as well?
I agree with everyone that this is a friendly community.
I remembered when I entered this community about half a year ago, how how kindly they were. But they also gave me useful information about the song. As I will do to you now. Try a littlebit less reverb on the vocals. And I also follow others saying to bring up the vocals a bit more.

I wait with interest what other songs you'll make

Hi Gordon ...

Welcome to the best, most friendly and helpful music-posting site you'll probably ever find on the Internet.

This is terrific first post! Your guitars sound great ... hard to go wrong with a Martin or a Taylor. Your instrument mix and choices was spot on ... I think I would bring the vocal up just a touch. I'm a mediocre singer at best - lead guitarist by trade - but I got over being shy or fearful of my vocals and put them right out there - vocally molesting the airwaves! You'll find the folks here are very supportive and encouraging.

I really enjoyed your song. It's an excellent representation of the power of BIAB. Good show!

Wishing you the best ...

Alan

Great first post! Nice pickin' and singing.

I get a Tom Petty sort of vibe from this production. That's a good thing:)
