I Died A Little - T0mmyy

29th Dec 2017 15:23 - 8 years ago
Description : A song I wrote over a guitar track that I found on YouTube. Link to the original track can be found below.

Have been attempting to write 2-3 songs over the past couple of months with little success, when this one just appeared out of nowhere.

It's a bit odd I guess (which is why I tagged it as weird) but I enjoyed creating and listening back to it, so here it is.

Thank you!

Music: In Albany New York - The 126ers youtu.be/PHRt8RxLrkA

The vocal is so laden with emotion, it steers you into the delightful acoustic. I would say it is more pop or even folk pop.

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful! If you remix this, I hope you will consider bringing the vocals more upfront. You have a very ear-pleasing quality to the vocals.

LovePeace&Light,

Everything in this song just simply works together. Nothing clashes and the vocals are amazing. It's a bit tough to make out the lyrics so maybe that could be a small complaint, but that's pretty much it. Awesome song

Thank you very much.

And you're not the only one to mention the clarity of the lyrics, but I'm working on it!

Appreciate you stopping by and taking the time out to comment :]

Thank you very much. It helps that there are such good instrumentals out there for me to play with, otherwise I'd still be singing Christmas carols to myself :)

You did a really good job with this song. It sounded a lot like something that Pink Floyd would put out. The overall overtone of this song as really dark, which I really like. I look forward to hearing more stuff like this from you.

Thank you.

I would love to make a song that is at once dark and beautiful/ethereal, so I guess I'm halfway there :)

Thanks for stopping by and commenting, means a lot.

Hai there,

Wow, omg, damn. You have an amazing voice! WHY HAVEN'T I HEARD FROM YOU BEFORE. This is such a beautiful snippet I don't want to call it a "song", but something like a trip, a feeling, a breeze. Idk I'm getting weird.

Try to work on sounds like this dude, they are so unique yet easy on the ears. Add some drums, build a full song, add a wonderful message. THE POTENTIAL IS DRIPPING FROM MY SPEAKERS. I don't know if that's normal but DO SOMETHING WITH IT.

Great sound, amazing voice, good stuff. Keep it up :)

Hi there, thank you for such glowing feedback!

I'd have to agree that it's not really a song as such, and that's kind of what I was aiming for, as I'm a big fan of film music and was going for something along those lines.

I hope to make more traditional songs in the future, so I'll be following your advice.

Thanks for stopping by and listening, much appreciated.

Love the track, I'm currently studying film in college and think this song has a place in it. Whether or not your track is used I still really like it.

It would be really cool to hear my music in something along those lines, but it's not quite at that standard yet.

Thanks for stopping by and listening, always appreciated.

I think this is my favorite track of yours. The mood of the instrumental really suits your voice. Sounds kind of like a chilled out Ozzy.

And it's nice to see a familiar face popping up in the comments, it means a lot.

Reminds me of a David Gilmour pink Floyd number I really like your vocals. I am learning the process of dealing with vocals in my daw and would be very interested to learn from you on how you process that. Fantastic work you have done here best regards Robbie.

T0mmyy replied 30th Dec 2017 - 8 years ago
Hi praise indeed, thank you!

My set-up consists of a Rode nt1-a mic > DBX 286s vocal processor > Focusrite solo > Ableton. And the main softwares I tend to use for vocals are Izotope Nectar and Waves sonic enhancer, along with some extra compression and transient shaping.

After that, it's just a case of experimenting I guess.

Hope that helps, and thanks for listening :)

Great song! Your vocal has gravitas, which I think is Latin for balls. Congratz!!!

Hey, I think you did a good job with this. Like the effect you put on your vocals. It brings it back to the singer songwriter days when music took you on a journey. It has that Peter Gabriel vibe. Nice work.
T0mmyy
T0mmyy replied 29th Dec 2017 - 8 years ago
Thank you. More than one person has mentioned Peter Gabriel in passing now, so that's a genuine compliment, although I must rely heavily on effects to get anything sounding close.

Thanks for the comments :)

Enjoy!

Description : I wanted to create a Euro dance anthem with a hip hop beat and a lower bpm than the traditional 128 to 136 bpm range. This is the beat I created. No AI has been used in this track. I created everything myself. It is a purely instrumental beat. I used Rapid Synth for the euro lead sound and the melody has been composed by me. The drums are a loop from this site.

Description : "All my songs are inspired by the work of the bands King and Jester and Kukryniksy. I wrote the lyrics for this track, and the music was created by artificial intelligence. The lyrics are original; I wrote them myself. I don't have the ability to create music for this track, but I hope you'll at least like the lyrics." I'm presenting these tracks to you in the form of a demo - this is what they might sound like; I want you to evaluate my lyrics.
