Fog |
This was a sort of spontaneous recording I did yesterday when I got out my old aucoustic guitar and tuned it. I sort of started strumming a few chords and discovered that I had written a sort of catchy chord progression, and recorded it. I added a simple lead and vocals then later synthesized bass and drumset, and it turned into this sort of simple, catchy groove.
I'm not satisfied at all with my vocals, but I think as a whole it turned out alright, (even if it is a bit out of tune)
Lyrics:
-FOG-
Out at sea
On the waves
You’re too far away
From me
Can’t see the lighthouse
Through the fog and I
Let my anchor down
Oh I’m
Still blind again
In the fog of your misery
Oh I’m
Still without shelter
Hard rock shelter at sea
Turn the bow
Towards the shore
Still thinking of
Your kiss
Cold comes in
And I rock a bit
And I Cry a bit
On the waves
Oh I’m
Still blind again
In the fog of your misery
Oh I’m
Still without shelter
Hard rock shelter at sea
At three AM I
Hear the fog horn
Its blowing out to me
But now that my
Anchor’s down I think
I’ll just wait here for a while
Oh I’m
Still blind again
In the fog of your misery
Oh I’m
Still without shelter
Hard rock shelter at sea
Sun comes out
I hear a shout and I
Still can’t see anything
Still not sure if I
Should go to shore or if
I should stay here for a while
Oh I’m
Still blind again
In the fog of your misery
Oh I’m
Still without shelter
Hard rock shelter at sea
Do you miss me?
Do you miss me?
Do you miss me?
Etc…

As you say yourself, "I think as a whole it turned out alright"
If I may agree with you.
If I could put my lyrics to guitar as you do I'd be a happy man.
You also mention that your not satisfied with some of the vocals, I would have personally mixed them deeper into the song with some foggy type effect.
I do hear your 'waiting' for the next strum sometimes, I don't know if guitarist record vocal as they play or do they do them separately, I would because I'd feel that I was compromising one or the other if I did both together. My excuse as to why I don't play guitar and sing.
Or should I say I find it easier to 'listen' to the song I'm singing if I'm not also playing guitar.
There's a hi-hat in my right speakers that keeps on popping up out of the fog and smacking me on the side of the head with a small stick!
And I find the lead guitar a bit too 'leady' or squeaky or something like that.
But on the whole as a song I think it tuned out quite well.

I really like this one, I think the mix came out very well (very good??) It's a very 'fat' or 'wide' sound, which I absolutely love in a song.
And the couple of vocal parts with a lot of effects ("it's blowing down on me" and the other one) are very kool, and a great touch.
Good job!! ^_^
