I've Seen Better Days - Blairrock957

19th Jul 2008 17:12 - 18 years ago
Description : A couple of years ago a few of us started going to the "Safe House" down town Atlanta. I would do praise and worship and then my partner would preach. Then we would feed 100 to 200 homeless people. I wrote this song and they liked it a lot. Even in the jail they like it. Something about the concept of I've seen better days. I had a long day today, with a funeral and shopping to cook breakfast for about 40 people tomorrow. I just needed to unwind and record something. I've been wanting to post this song for a while too. I'm also working on my recording skills too. To try to get better before I record a couple of things for some of my friends on looperman.
I hope you like it.
Blair

Start volunteering @ my college. Doing this thing where I read the newspaper for blind people I believe. The perks of working a Flex-time schedule.

I really love the way this was recorded. It has that quality that reflects it's humble roots. Lates!

That's neat. You'll get a lot from doing it. But I would be tempted to start making up stories. Aliens land at white house. Thanks.

That's a great song Blair. Even though it is a sad subject, when listening to your song, people get to believe again that there is light at the end of tunnel... Nice one. I like song with a more serious note.
Cheers S.

Thanks a lot. The music is upbeat because even though it says I've seen better days. It's not said like we don't still have hope and believe that better days can come again. Beside last chorus is saying "I'm seeing better days"

Thanks for listening. It always tares us up too. We'll see a homeless father or mother with a child. The most important thing to remember is that these are human beings and need to be treated with respect.

that's all it needs: a guitar, a voice, and someone who really has to say something ... perfect!!
and if I feel that someone honestly tries to speak out of his heart, then I don't care about recording quality, production techniques or skills and things like that ...

and one more thing: no matter what good or bad things happened to me in the past, I always think that the better days are yet to come .... but I know what you're speaking about ...

peace, rei

I like your music Blair for the simple fact that I always get a clear sense of your strong and loving spirit. That is an element that no amount of technology and fancy effects can give a song or a singer. Just keep doing what your doing, in music and in life, because you are obviously on a good path.

Thanks for the review. I think everyone can relate to the fact that there are days where we all feel like we've seen better days.

Description : Grunge, Gospel and Latino vibes track... I tried using my voice as a guitar by using some heavy distortion. I need to write a song to this but I'm too lazy and want to move on to the next project lol

Description : A blend of heavy bass, melodic piano vibes, and atmospheric synth textures. I wanted to create a sound that balances powerful low-end energy with emotional melodies and subtle sonic layers.
I'm still learning and improving my production skills. I'd really appreciate your honest feedback on the overall sound, mixing, bass balance, melody, and arrangement.

This is one of my latest experiments in EDM production. Hope you enjoy listening!

Description : Hey everyone, I'm sharing my new track with you. The main motif comes from a sample by Mike Hayes titled "Lament." I added a few extra touches, some drums, and vocals from the phonk genre-I thought it would be an interesting fit. Let me know how it sounds!

Description : Still We Praise is a faith-centred song about God's grace, the struggles of life and the power of praise. It is a reminder that, despite the evil, pain and sorrow in the world, our hope remains in Jesus. From a cry for restoration to a declaration of praise, the song brings together people from all walks of life in worship of the King of Kings.
