THERE IS A RIVER - CitizenMofo2

Description : I think of this as "melodic talking" rather than "spoken word" or "rap", but I always struggle with what to label my stuff. The music is drum and voice, very basic. Mixed using Audacity (not in the list).
Look back to your forebears, look ahead to your children and their children, and that - that chain of generations - is your river - of life, of DNA, of blood. It's a potent metaphor for me and I keep trying to capture it in a song. What do you think of this one?

Thanks citizen, for the vote of confidence regarding my voice, I basically sing for pleasure, I enjoyed my time when I was in the limelight on stage performing. I don't care too much for the way the music business is today but having said that I'm still in demand, yes I do have a lot of people wanting to work with me but I enjoy doing my own thing, such a rebel lol.. but who knows, maybe in the near future I can sing on one of your tracks, it would be an honor, thanks again, keep up the awesome work! :)

Hi citizen,

You are an awesome writer?...I also sometimes use metaphors when I write my songs, your lyrics are just brilliant! seriously, this is so deep and relevant. The children are the future, we have to protect them, especially in the world we are living in, they learn by example, so we have to be upright. I love your metaphors, like I said they are deep and absolutely captured the feeling in the song, this is truly unique and compelling. One thing I like is when people create and think outside of the box, especially with regards to music...GREAT! work and thank you for your support on my songs, keep bringing us something with real meaning and substance.

Faved.

Thank you, Miss Sweetcherries. I appreciate you very much. As it happens, I make a living as a writer, though not as a songwriter. I love to write songs because you can do anything and go anywhere in three minutes. There's tremendous power and beauty available in a tiny space. My family is my everything so I especially love to write songs about them.
As for you, well, I've listened to all 10 of your songs now. And of course one can't comment - except here. First, I must say that your apartment is even noisier than mine. Then I must say, your voice is magic. Your instrument is a Stradivarius and you know how to play it. I mean, seriously. I just hope you're a millionaire because you deserve to be if talent and passion are rewarded in this world. I would love to make some songs with you someday, so consider me stepping up to the end of what is probably a very long line.

Description : Tbh I have no experience in music production, this is my first ever track, I used a free loop from yokiott (Halloween Type Shi) and added some stuff to it from Default FL Studio packs. Idek how to describe how I made it. I just watched a 10 minute Shonci video on how to make beats and the rest of the process was just me adding random sounds and keeping the good sounding things.

a Chill house beat "Don't you"
I started with a two-sentence lyric idea, built a relaxed house beat around it, and then got stuck. I had to search online for extra lyrics to accompany my text. Just like many of my earlier songs, it's about dancing in a club, my eternal desire? ;)

Enjoy!

Description : 120+ BPM POP track somewhat unusual with different transitions, reverse stems in area to be odd, sick and tired same old following sheep. rushed this before going away for the week. ChePaxin vocals are so good, when back def make something sweet. AND CONGRADULATIONS, ChePaxin posted suitably DRY VOCALS and the professional way. this enables doing something real without fighting so much reverb creators are stuck with.

SINGERS, follow ChePaxin lead....
