This song is not in a battle


this is my latest creation. the last of 2005 unless i write one in the next ... 3 days
i like to think its about being a bird and knowing the sky and the clouds like they're relitives. . .
there are a few things im not sure about this song like the guitar break, not sure if its overwhelming or not. and the midi drums ... think they sound alright...
anyway hope you like it, apprechiate comments.

It always takes me some time to get into your songs... like 30 seconds or so.

I love that piano intro, but after that you hit piano chords for the first verse, and that seems a little simplistically done - in one area of the keyboard, how can I put it, it would do more for me if you had spread the chords over the keyboard more.

The midi drums are... midi drums - but man how hard are those to get right.

from 1:42 and on, the production goes professional quality. Those dual guitar solos are great. I'd love to know how you record your guitars btw?

As for the composition - is ok. Guitar break? nothing I thought was out of place...

great job!

Nice song!
You are a really great composer... must recognize I am fan of yours.
The melodic progression of the song is great. Loved the chorus!
100% from me... though the drums were a bit weak... Recommend you to use Acoustica Beatcraft to make drums... My last song was made with that, if you wanna try how it sounds.
But anyway, the song itself was really good... You will be famous, I sure of it.

PS: Still being my favorite your song Run... lol.

I thought the guitar break was nice. I like the vocal backing, it's nice and chorusy (choir-like).
Piano sounds nice, too. I'd have to say maybe adding some variation in notes played on the keyboard would be a nice touch.
The vocals are great and piano and guitars. Drums aren't bad either: I'd like to hear more of them in the mix, IMO. Overall great sound. I really like the song.

oooh, I would left so many comments to this song.
There is soo much you should change. The idea is great, piano and guitar sounds are wonderful, drums are weak. they need a lot of work. Beginning is cool but then the first verse is overloaded with too much lyrics. You are big talented and its the first time that your vocals are not standing in the front too much. I really like your songs even this one. But again it needs a lot of pro work.

i can't think of one thing wrong with this track
infact - i woiuld love to BUY an album - please pm or im me with a direction to get the album. you f'ing rock and if i had anything to do with any A&R dept. anywhere i would have sighned you days ago. you have a awsome group ( this isn't just one person right? )

the melody is so easy going and the lyrics are absolutly poerfect as with the vocals singing them
this an amazing track and exactly why i stay here on bandamp
i would have to say it could be longer - i really like this song so mayby its just my inner will to have the song be longer, but i am sure you could do something, mayby you could come back to the intro piano also as in 1:16 and take that into a progression and cresendo with lyrics followed by the another lead with a counterpoint - another key.
but nvertheless you got 100% from me!
keep up the great great great work!!!!!!!!!!

-Dave
p.s. i am enviess of your talent!

Another great song - although not my favorite of yours.

My only criticism is that IMO it sounds a bit "crowded" at times.  I love the sound of the dual guitars, and you have a really good voice.

It's one for my play-list, and another one of yours downloaded.

Don't stop writing!!!

Another great song
I love your music, love the guitar sounds, very clean, like the verb setting on the vox.
excellent harmonies, love the guitar solos, just need to get a drummer to lay down some
drum trax (imo). Like the use of the stereo field locations especially on the chorus right before the guitar solo.
