Hey there - I listened to this a while back but somehow didnt get to comment - i like this very much - nice indie rock vibe (I always liked pavement and similar bands just a little more grit and quirkiness but in the alt country ball park and the sound reminds me of that) - everything about this is good, instrumentation, beats, vocal, lyric, sound, it's just not finished so ... please do keep going with it : )
Thanks, psuedoble!! I appreciate the kind sentiment. Indie rock music sounds are always great. I enjoy the good music comparisons. I agree with you, I really need to finish this, I hope I can soon.
Def has that end of 80's vibe
bass remins me in The The
vocals between the cure singer and the singer from the the at bits overall loved the way the vox was i think my resemblance to th eboy from th ecure is quite pap on with the way you sang it in my head anyway.
great track man look fowrward to listening to the end product.
2017 hmmm i hear you man i was a balls hair away from being 6 foot under with a virus ended up alseep for 3 weeks but i pulled through just to loose my younger brother the year later its a horrid thing for a family to ever go through and i am sorry for your loss but by doing this for your cuz has helped you in the process again good work that means something
well done :)
Thanks, CyberFlares! Being compared to Robert Smith from the cure is a great honor. I truly appreciate that. It sounds like 2017 was a rough one for a lot of people. I'm happy you were able to overcome your virus and heal. But am saddened to hear you had to deal with the loss of your brother right after. That couldn't have been easy. We have to stay strong and keep doing what we love. That's usually the only cure for these things.
Modnex, condolences to you and your family from me and my family. This work is a honorable tribute to your cousin. There’s a possibility that someone struggling with the same battle will listen and know that someone cares. Hats off to you and also the mix is full on point. Take it all the way.
Thank you, Mark! As an artist and someone who has dealt with struggles and knows people who have. I would love it if my songs could touch someone who is having these same struggles and let them know they matter.
First of all condoleances. I've unfortunately gone through this 4 times and it never stops hurting.
I think the song has promise; I also think there are some improvement points. The strong points are I think the drums, chord scheme and lyrics. Your voice works well (cool britpop style), but check to see that the tune you're singing fits the scale of the chords.
Definitely keep working on it, making music is cathartic and it can also help others (or even yourself) to write these things down. All the best to you and your family!
Thanks, BaoBou! I appreciate the condolences and am very saddened to hear you had to go through this too. Once is enough. I couldn't even imagine what it must have been like to go through this four times. Sorry for all those that you lost. Stay strong. I appreciate your honesty with the criticism. I'm always aiming to improve my vocals. With each track I do, I can hear the improvement, so all hope is not lost just yet lol. As for the scale; Were you referring to the key of the track? I feel the key wasn't off. The way I sang this was done purposefully. As that was the style I was going for at the time. I wanted it to sound upbeat yet dreary at the same time. Which could understandably make it sound off-key. I was going for a "foster the people - Pumped up kicks" type of vibe. Not sure I succeeded but that was the idea at the time. Thanks for stopping by.
very cool one ...
knowing the background of the song, I was expecting a different mood and I was very surprised by this song that conveys new wave feelings from the 80's ... the stuff is very good musically ... congratulations ...
fistbump, Danke
Thanks, Danke! The new wave comparison made me smile. I love music from that era and always strive to implement 80-type sounds into my own music. Happy to know that I succeeded here.
I think u should finish it, one, because it's a really good song and I liked your vocals. And two, it would be a nice gesture to your little cousin. All the best man.
Damn you're a 10 year veteran on the site! Big up for that. Solid track, well structured and produced. I'm reluctant to to give the only criticism that I have; I realize that the vocal has a autotune effect on it which is a form of distortion, just seems to be the need for a deesser. The siblance seems to come thru on the "s" in the vocal. Otherwise great track!
Thanks, Knight! Wow, it's been ten years? It doesn't feel like it at all -- time flies. I'm still getting the hang of doing vocals, so I always appreciate criticism that could help me improve them. I'll look into using a deesser for future productions. Thanks for the honesty. I appreciate it!
I love the instrumental and the vocals are a nice colorful touch, it kind of reminds me of the opening scene of -Apocalypse Now-, when the Doors are playing and Martian Sheen is losing his mind.
hey there! I was curious if you would allow me to use part of your song in a YouTube video for a project I have coming out. Let me know how to contact you privately!
Hey, footose! You are more than welcomed to use this in your project. All I ask is that credit is given in the description of the video. The best way to contact me is through my email which you can find on my profile page. I'd love to check out the video when it's done. Thanks for choosing my song.
This is some of the most unique DnB I have ever heard! I do hear the synth wave vibe on it as well, but that doesn't take away from the enjoyment... not in the least. The vocal parts are enticing and exciting! A really fun song my friend! Adding to favorites!
Thanks, Spiv! I love the word unique. It makes me feel like I did something right. It's always nice to know you're bringing something new to the table. It's especially nice hearing that word coming from you since I consider you one of Looper's masters of unique and exciting sounds. Thanks for stopping by, my friend.
Thanks, Clickbait! Yeah, now that everyone is mentioning it, I truly can hear the 80's era in this. Which only makes me happy, as I love music from that era. Thanks for listening.
The drums are definitely D&B, the melodic and harmonic elements have a synthwave feel to them. Nice use of autotuned harmonies in the vox. I feel like I need to be driving an 80s Ferrari.
Thanks, bringer! I call shotgun!! I'll bring the shades and some iced tea and we can truly make this an 80's nostalgia party lol. I didn't realize it before, but now that you mentioned it, this track really does sound synth-wave-ish. Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate it.
Is this drum and bass - I have no idea with genre - to my mind its a great pop song built around some nice arpeggios, sweet melodies and solid beats . Also Love the sound of the vox and the switch up with the vox sound around half way through - almost a little punk interlude - well to my old ears. : )
Hey, pseudoble, it was originally meant to be drum n bass, but I guess in the end it became an electronic pop with a hint of drum n bass. Good call on the punk interlude comparison -- the switch uses a lot of techniques punkers used back in the day. Thanks for the kind comments and for stopping by, I appreciate it. :)
Nice! This is a cool song. sort of an accessible D&B for the masses with a nice electronic feel. Well, thought composition is driven by that arpeggio as the chords dance around it. then that solo piano strike works so well at 2:12. That vox afterward so reminds me of something I might hear on a Bran van 3000 record. Were you using Valhalla Supermassive mate. the effects were spot on. really impressed with this one. Fav´d. That ending outro is also incredible. Standing O
Thanks, Steve! That means a lot coming from you. For the vox, I used an assortment of effects. I used some distortion, clipping, an amp, a limiter, and some basic eq to get the desired sound (all of logic default fx). I spent a few days on this one and I'm pretty happy how it turned out. Bran van is a nice band to be compared to, so thanks for that. Thanks for the kind words, take care, my friend.
Hi Modnex nice to see you about again this is another good track from you, I like your house and pop, this is like electri pop with a liquid drum and base stamp on it. The vocal is great, iwas just thinking this needs a vocal 5 seconds later it dropped :)) good return it's a footstomper bro
Thanks, Dimestop! I appreciate the support. Electronic pop with a touch of liquid bass is what I will be using to describe all my songs from now on lol. Thanks for stopping by.
Different and interesting, some neat sounds. Keep trying out different things. These daws are so full of cool plugins, sounds and effects that it's mind boggling sometimes. Have fun!
Hey Wayne! Thanks, mate! You're so right. At the end of the day making music is about having fun and exploring new things. It truly is amazing what we can do nowadays with a few clicks on a computer.
Mod this is really cool electronic house, great bones to work with, you could easily beef this up you can add all-sorts even a repetitive electro vox or vocal synth, it'll be nice to see how this comes back
Thank you, dime! I agree with you all the way. This track has the makings to be more. I just need to figure out what direction I'm going to take it in and stick with it, which is truly the hard part.
