I really wish you'd redo this song with a better sound quality. This is like my all time favorite song of yours, even with the bad sound quality I still love it. If you wouldnt mind I'd like to be able to sing it, like a cover. Lol cause everytime I listen to it I sing along, but it would be easier with a better sound quality.
I like the arrangement of this song. It seemed to be over recorded on my end. The subject works well with the music. Broken hearts, lost love, giving up on love. But overall the song has a place. Maybe not the first track on the album but somewhere in the middle. GB. Ray
I'm always curious as to why a song is written in the first place but the evasiveness leaves it to the listener to either identify or not. I love the music..It grabbed me for some reason.. Kudos!
i have not been spending enough time on your page. this is awesome. i see it's your video response to scotch mist, the most incredible radiohead ever recorded imo. the influence is obvious. really LOVE this.
and the strings... maybe a synth instead? sounds a bit fake
and yeah, closer to the mic like the other guy said. I think your levels are too high on the vocals when you belt it. maybe you were trying to compensate for the low vocals in the beginning. later in the song you move your head closer it seems and it sounds better
I can tell you're into Radiohead. I like your voice alright. Just a tip, (and I'm not trying to sound like a vocal expert) sing your falsetto stuff lighter and come closer to the mic. Tone generally sounds better like that. I like pretty much every bit of instrumentation though. Good stuff.
Thanks, that was what I was trying to do with a few of these songs. Trying to write music that grows on people. It is hard to do, but I hope I am getting there. I am working on some other stuff and I will be posting soon.
Yeah, me too. The more I listen the more I like the music. It takes a while to soak in. Kind of like pink floyd was for me. It took me years for pink floyd to sink in. Then one day I am driving down the road and all of a sudden I understood. You have all the musical tools you need surf, keep up the good work!
I still love this song! It's about the tenth time I've heard it now.....I think you should record this in a studio; I would love to hear a produced version of this song.....It would be a definate hit!
I am working on some stuff now. I partially have a band together and the Bass Player has a recording studio. We are going to start meeting every week to write and produce songs. We will start with the songs that I have already written. Things should start rolling within a few months.
i really appreciate a lot this song, for this so "intrusive" atmosphere that so beautifully you can give us ! #__# sincerely, i like a lot (& 've listened 3 times...) Thanks for all your interpretations, i love "Jamming Alone" too !
This is my favourite song of yours by a lot and even if it sounds abit echoy it is in the standards of the influences you have listed, honest this is a great song
I do like this song a lot! It's already in my head, and it looks like everyone else likes is a lot too. I really do wish the sound quality was better b/c that one part gets really loud, but it still is a very cool sounding song.
Hey , Todd.I promised you to look at your original song after talking about the Elton John cover, and when I watched this, I said: "OMFG". This song is completely brilliant, perfect in musical joy that gives people, it is touching man. I wish you could record it in a prof. studio, then after adding a good clip to it, you'll absolutely see that it has nothing less even has more than the best hits. Keep on the good work, please.
Thank you very much. Just now getting a good band together. The guy I talked to today has a lot of equipment and software so we should start producing a lot better quality stuff. Right now I am just putting my songs out there with the bad sound quality because I think that people can imagine the potential that a song may have.
You are so right...I see huge potential in this song, given the right recording equipment and instruments - its really very good as is. Work on this man, it is special!
really great job in this Todd. Yea really stop knocking yourself you sing fine .Keep working at it . I love the Elton feel. You have a knack for writing and a great sound. listen to all the great advice you get. Your going somewhere. Keep up the great work!!!!!
Have You ever thought of using FX on your voice? If You put some delay and chorus on Your vocal, I think Your voice would be good enough to make it, especially if You were to go down the alternative-rock route. Also, I think this is a good song; I gave You 5-stars & I subscribed. So, stop making excuses for Yourself! I think You've got loads of potential to be great at what Your doing. Cornelius Random. England, UK.
Yes I do! I actually have a song that is going to counter this one. I just haven't completed it yet. I will be called I still care! (MAYBE) It sounds a little happier!
nice arrangement dude...to me its got Pink Floyd and Elton John mash together...just keep workin' that voice...I am the same way don't have alot of confidence in my singing to go with my writting I know what I want but cant sing it..which makes it touch to write
Very impressive stuff. With such great songwriting skills, i hope you will get far.
And about the singing... You are ofcourse lacking in technique if you haven't sung that much, but your voice has potential. Take some singing lessons and i think it might sound pretty sweet. I personally prefer a bit more unique voice though but your's might work great too. Or if you just want to focus on writing, get someone else to sing :)
I want to be......just started writing a few weeks ago and now I am am trying to get a band together. Once I get a band we will start posting stuff here. I think that it will be a little more upbeat sounging somthing like Muse. Hopfully anyway.
Thank you very much. I am working on my voice and I do hope that it is getting better. I think that my most difficult song for me to sing is "Goodbye" Good song but I destroy it with my vocals. I will practice singing it more and then post a version with better vocals.
Thanks, I hope you like this as much as the others. It seems that each individual has a different favorite. I like it that way. I don't want to have just one good song. I hope that are all good. It is kind of hard to judge myself. Kind of like giving yourself a shoulder massage. Just doesn't feel the same. That is why I need ya'll to judge! Thanks for the support.
