KRIS SHRED - I Am Broken (Original 2008)

[skybny003]

I like this version a lot better than the original, but I love your voice in both. :)

[KrisShred]

@skybny003

Thank you for your feedback and listening :)

[skybny003]

@KrisShred Your welcome, :) I listened to a bunch of your video's. I really liked them, your a great singer, and guitarist......and I thought you were nice to look at too LOL.......was trying to find one of your songs that might be one I could relate to, to put it on my facebook, but couldn't find one. :(

[KrisShred]

@skybny003

that possible relation depends on what you're feeling at the moment or at the actual state of life you're in. ...so, what is it, the relation you look for? .. maybe i can think about it and find a song that fits

[skybny003]

@KrisShred

I was drawn to the title, "I'm broken" because I feel like my life is falling apart. But it has nothing to do with a certain person, just a multiple of things. So was looking for a song similar to that, maybe saying I'm broken, but not destroyed, I can be fixed. :)

[Skylarnamer]

U have a unigue tone to ur voice=) i love it.

[guitarguy920]

the bass complements the acoustic very well you dont see that too much nice

[KrisShred]

@guitarguy920

Thank you :)

[myryckyz]

Great acoustic guitar and style!,,,greet from Peru

[TanteA]

Hallo Kris... klasse Musik.... ich find´s gut.

Nette Grüße von Anette

[remoods]

Great work !

[pleaseavoidblindness]

now you ignore me

i am just a shadow you want to leave behind and erase from your existance like i didn't exist at all

wait, you already did that

but still i exist - even thought i wish i didn't most times

you would have peace and i would have peace

if i were dead, that is :)

not only from the inside ;)

[pleaseavoidblindness]

what you broke was not my heart - but rather the sense of my own identity

you erased, with your actions, my whole being from the face of this earth

if you would have murdered me, at least the pain would end and i would not feel

but you have left me murdered from within

and living to experience what it feels like to be a hollow being

[pleaseavoidblindness]

You can write a line in a song that says "i am broken, not beaten" but i am beaten i have been forced to have something sexual with a man against my wish i tried to explain that man i do not enjoy that in that way but he did not listen i am beaten i am traumatized i don't look at men, sex, love, or life the same way will i ever? i don't know this i'm not 'cool girl' anymore i'm a wrack - a bundle of broken nerves a distrusting being afraid of my own shadow

[pleaseavoidblindness]

How can trust develop between two people when one of them is only saying whatever things in attempt to control or abuse or assult the other or bring the other down in a sexual, emotional and mental way?

how is a person that was being abused in such a horrible way that could not see the light anymore just get up and attempts to trust again, to love...

how is it possible to look at sex as a joyful act a willful act, after being traumatized by someone who did not respect a NO ?!

[Simbi0tica]

Fantastic! I love your voice and your musical style.

[messiisgod82]

love this!

[paskiiainen]

reminds me of 90's. I fucking love it and samething is with this song. to me this sounds like a bit alice in chains, oasis, spin doctors or something. I mean this was really good!

[KrisShred]

Yeah, those were the bands. AIC, Soundgarden and so on. Loved them. Thanks mate

[virtuoso92]

it reminds up to me some Alice in Chains stuff

[KrisShred]

That's a honor. Thanks very much @virtuoso92

Love AIC, STP and similar bands

[wrightanthony]

Awesome! Great rhythm!

[RollyRandles]

[StevieRayHovious]

Wow, nice job man.

[KrisShred]

Thanks Stevie

[rps5891]

[catrostu]

Respekt! :)

[KrisShred]

Die Komposition ist von mir.

Der Text ist von Pamela (eine Bekannte über YT).

Sie hat quasi die Gedanken geschrieben. Ich die Melodie ^^

Danke dir :)

[Gapster]

[kixykixykix]

[mizzrica]

[miickeymouse27]

i like your voice....you remind me of seether a bit...great job!

[puggle0789]

ur like,

totally AWESOME!!

[moosy3000]

Well written song. Great use of simple chords. The tone of the guitar sounds great too. Kudos, man :D

[CarmeNostalgia]

Rhythm guitar, vocals, bass guitar and tambourine, there´s something you can´t do? haha wooow it sounds really cool ;D

[KrisShred]

Glad you liked my song - gracias :o)

[simonguitar2]

Beatiful voice line in this song, it's some Pearl Jam style!well done!

[KrisShred]

Thank you Simone! Grazie ;)

[stellaraddict]

Your voice is absolutely amazing. I've been watching many of your videos including some of your covers, your PJ Black cover is just incredible. And then I heard this original song of yours and I see just how incredibly talented you are. I love this. Keep it up, I'll continually be checking back!

[ILUVMUSIC420]

i looked at some other vids of this guy... so far this is the only song that realy pops. but its awesome!! my constructive critasism to this guy is to use more vocals like this. i like the folky influences but use more up beat tunes.

try stuff like pearl jam, seether, staind, puddle of mud. yer voice sounds ALOT like the guy from puddle of mud.

[ILUVMUSIC420]

seriously great song... if this guy isnt famous yet, all he needs is a platform to get his name out there. vocals remind me of seether... infact i found this song lookn for the original broken by seether, i like amy lee (sexy) but i luv the stripped down acoustics. good job man keep up the good werk and keep maken origianal stuff. this guy is the illegitamate butt baby of a pearljam and seether orgy!!!

[KrisShred]

Thank you for listening and your feedback! :)

[Prophecy23JC]

keep rockin' ..... this song really appeals to my situation!

[danielatigger]

auch n cooler song

[Rayizzle3]

i found this by accident, but not bad i like it own style.

[Mariekesone]

I can hear Punk, Grunge and all sorts..very interesting vocals...reminds a little of PJ also...

Like this original very much...:-)..

Very cool equip...

[SimPotts]

Great sound.

[gretschgirl66]

gREAT! Make me think of Pearl Jam, dunno why, but with your own style, that's really good, man!

[bourne16]

wow what a great sound, nice song

[hooky1982]

Aww I miss the Tobacco on your face and the headphones over your mouth! Classic!...Cool song too! god job dude \m/

[KrisShred]

Haha, you remembered that old 'crappy' video ;)

Thanks mate

[Prophecy23JC]

I watched the video... what tobacco? what headphones? what the heck is he talking about?

[KrisShred]

Well, there was another version before which I deleted. My equipment wasn't that good back then and I experimented in a funny way with my headphones and tobacco etc. ;)

[RhythmMaven]

Sweet. Great full sound.

[trentwingfield]

cant get enough of this one...

[chazdaspazman]

nice =)

[schauertraube]

@OnlyAneas: Ich stimme Dir voll und ganz zu!!!!

[OnlyAneas]

Kris ... wenn interessiert dein REAL-LIFE ???? :-D

Mach inne ... Um Sommerhits zu landen haste nur noch 2-3 Monate !!!!

[KrisShred]

stimmt haha. bis dahin will ich es echt geschafft haben!

..allerdings.. auch wenn mein real life niemanden interessiert, zumindest interessiert es mich ;) von der musik kann ich momentan nämlich nicht leben lol.. also gar nicht. niente ;)

[OnlyAneas]

ja, das liegt aber daran, dass du IMMER noch keine CD hast und deine Zeit mit RealLife und YouTube verplemperst.... Man wird nicht jünger --- also HAU rein ....

[OnlyAneas]

Was für ein (Ver)Zauberer !!

Und wo kann man die CD kaufen ???

[KrisShred]

hallo! bald übers internet. ich komm nur kaum dazu, die songs fertig zu produzieren, da mein 'real life' so viel zeit von mir abverlangt.

...und.. ich will wirklich zufrieden sein mit dem gesamtprodukt, dem sound der einzelnen songs. ich bin eben (leider?, gott sei dank?) sehr anspruchsvoll mit mir selbst ;-)

[highsnowjumper]

ye, what can ya say ^^ its just great

[EnnyT]

like this one, all the comments are what I wanna say, when I close my eyes, it sounds like watching a movie...:P also love the laugh at the end...

[DoNwOn4CroN]

Talent...Pure talent..

[schokoknuspi]

das is auch mal wieder genial. ;)

[funnygreengirl]

It is amazing (:

[malee44]

Ich liiiiiiieeeeebe dieses Lied :)

[rescuemay]

Nice chorus man!

[TheUnlucky101]

Kris, you wouldn't happen to have the chords for this would you? Otherwise I'm gonna tab this for others (It'll be my first tab, so it miiight suck). Also, is the tuning standard or something like drop D?

[oLittleMissSunshine]

Genial :)

[visualdarkness]

Another great song!

How did you get that fantastic effect on the vocals? I just got myself some cheap studio equipment so I'm not very good at sound engineering for sure (not at making music either;P).

[RockStarKick]

cool song, the guitar riff is awesome

[silosenovengopunk]

oh my god! O_O

glad to admit that it reminded me a lot to bob dylan! (with your voice a little "nickelbacked") =P

keep rockin' man! [pd. love ur laugh at the end xD]

[raggaeraggaegirl]

oh gott das is göttlich *gg* ^^

[Jaybrucken]

Way to go Kris! I remember when you first came out on the scene, and your professionalism is vastly evident. Love your music!

[KrisShred]

Kris

[teamuny]

[gandalfsingers]

Great song this - like it. Its strange the way the whole band looks so alike........are you brothers?

[KrisShred]

Thank you.

Yeah haha, brothers in heart, body and soul ^^

[m1ndfxck]

sounds good mann!

[poemsbytom]

To me, it is the little grunts and voice inflexions and things a little out of the norm that sometimes make good songs great...(like whistling, he he...)I look for that- I appreciate that about you. This is a pretty good song but it is you performing it that brings it up a notch. Peace, Tom

[KrisShred]

Thanks for your beautiful comment Tom :)

[patman2112]

So love this!!!

Nichole ;o)

[searching4soul]

Hi Kris! Long time since we talked! I see mention of the lyrics and the one about the boy with the girlfriend who said he is nervous to be walking around singing I am broken ..those comments are great...it kind of makes me feel famous through you lol Keep up the fantastic work!!I will keep listening as long as you keep playing:)

[KrisShred]

You are famous! :) Great lyrics. Thanks again my friend :)

Kris

[eatme6030]

[mamol90]

Ich weiß nicht ob ich hier schon nen Comment gelassen habe. Aber das ist mal ein wirklich klasse Lied. Es klingt einfach voll und gut ;)

[KrisShred]

Yippie!.. Vielen Dank :)

K

[TinoSchulz]

Hi, cooles Ding. Nur ein kleiner Tip...Compressor ja...aber ne zuviel. Finde den Mix dadurchein wenig zu hektisch. Aber ich bin auch so einer der immer n bisel mehr davon reinlädt..

Die Em700 habe ich auch (Auch Stereoset)

Finde die Dinger für den Preis echt Super. Gerade für Stimme. Aber die Em700er pushen den oberen Frequenzgang sehr hoch.

Ansonsten: Top!

[KrisShred]

Hehe, ja, absolut viel Kompressor drauf gehauen :D - seh ich auch so. Vor allem auf die BassSpur, die knackt so schön haha ;-)

Ja, die Höhen bei den Mics.. aber das kann ich über meinen kleinen Mixer runterschrauben ^^

Thanks for listening!

Kris

[Zeeshan73]

Incredible! the lyrics ring soo true! the music rocks! beautiful sound nice rhythm THANK YOU!

[KrisShred]

I really like the bass, is it new or have you always had it and I'm too retarded to notice?

[KrisShred]

Hi Meghan! It's the bass of a friend of mine. I've had it for some months now. One year ago I recorded the basslines with my nylon acoustic guitar and changed the EQ settings, that also worked quite well ^^ Cheers,

Kris

[JaiMaJames]

[KrisShred]

Thanks very much NTBoy :)

[glenncelliott]

awsome sound kris, looks like a few hours spent in the mixing room on this one!

[KrisShred]

Yeah, for sure. I guess producing the video with the 3 clips took me more time (my PC isn't very fast;). Thank you

[yixiazi]

Great warm soound. Love it!

[KrisShred]

Thank you :) Yeah, the sound is very important to me. Only some drums and backing vocals or so are still missing in this version ;)
