I posted the lyrics to this song, Poor Thing, in the last thread. Have now got round to recording it properly. Feedback much appreciated.
Anthony Lewis
Bump. Where my songwriting chums at?
Dominic Smith
How do I write a piece like Air on the g string?
Jonathan Robinson
Tried writing today... spent about 2 hours, but all poop came out. Guess today is just one of those days. I got the winter blues, lads.
Kayden Rogers
yesss i remember your lyrics. this shit right here bro. this fucking rules. straight early 70s singer-songwriter vibes here. just a tinge of reverb on your vocals would get this sounding tasty as fuck. maybe get an overtracking guitar strumming to get some nice layers in there. you definitely got it. i cant believe your friend said they didnt like it

in the last thread, i posted a few demos from an album im working on. its about a bus stop. this is the intro track that sets the tone and themes for the whole deal. picture walking around your hometown on an october night.
for fans of modest mouse / dismemberment plan
vocaroo.com
like my other demos, its unbearably lofi lmao. vocals are a bit tough to hear, lyrics attached. but let me know what you think about the lyrics/song structure/anything youd want to hear. gonna add some harmonies in at some point
Aiden Gomez
idk where you are, but a big snowstorm is currently hitting the east coast and shit is a winter wonderland outside. might need to rip out a demo with some wistful Talk Talk/Bark Psychosis vibes
Blake Jenkins
I’ve been having a rough patch myself, hoping inspiration will come soon. That’s why I am digging up old songs I put to one side like the one I posted.
Wow, glowing feedback. Thanks user, you made my night.
Your Vocaroo is really cool, love the distorted guitars. It reminds me a bit of Jesus and the Mary Chain.
Benjamin Parker
hell yes dude im glad to hear it. id love to hear some fingerpicking styles on your end. i bet you could knock it out of the park with your vocals/songwriting. post up whatever u got
-
thank u for your kind words. i recorded that song on the 4-track cassette deck. im so bad at mixing and recording in general so im using these as demos to work from to then possibly get a producer/engineer friend to lend a hand in getting this stuff to sound right. im too inclinced to make everything sound fuzzy n shitty lol. also Jesus and the Mary Chain is so good

we're here to Gas Up and Support each other, but only if youre showing the effort to do so. keep posting stuff friendos
Michael Wood
>id love to hear some fingerpicking styles on your end

Here's a song I never finished. I am going to revisit during holiday break.
Connor Foster
I feel like lyrics are a crutch that instrumentalists use in order to take attention away from the flaws in the instruments. Music without lyrics though... That is the true key to making meaningful sounds. Anyone can put 4 chords together and rhyme on top of it but to truly manipulate frequency is the real goal. Resonance is often autopiloted through with the assumption that whatever vst you use will be in tune with what's going on but it's a rookie mistake to try and be in tune at all. The true artists realize that it doesn't matter what key you're in or even if you're in a key at all. It's all about proportions. Everything is frequency. Everything is noise and to manipulate it is to manipulate your universe. My music is specifically tailored to resonate on a biological level with my audience and I accomplish this using the principals of bioresonance. No fancy equipment, no samples. Only resonance with tangible emotions. Utilizing the phenomenon of bioresonance my audience will remember me forever and you could get on my level too if you really really wanted to.
Aaron Hall
I feel this is an argument made by those lacking in creativity.
Zachary Peterson
Really plain and boring and just awful
Cooper Lewis
I like it. He sings well.
Josiah Moore
Dogshit
Lucas Wood
I hate it. Something is missing, maybe it's just his voice is very boring. Just sounds like shit I've heard a million times.
Jose Lewis

Logan Gonzalez
put that drink down son
Ryder Stewart
Nobody. Just being honest. I don't like these songs and I'm voicing my opinion here.
Ryan Ward
Write better songs first
Charles Jackson
>I don't like these songs and I'm voicing my opinion here.
thats fine, theres just better ways of doing that; like elaborating on why you dont like it and what could make it better. of course you dont have to do this (and you didnt), but thats really the point of these threads--to provide constructive feedback
Sebastian Howard
im not the person whose music youre criticizing, your attack is just unnecessarily rude
