I wrote this quite recently. My friend Adam Throp helped me record it. He's mega at this kinda thing...




Lyrics

The city sold me lies to help me sleep at night
My soul was freed because I tripped into the light
And now I laugh when they tell me that I'm free
This isn't how I wanted my next life to be
 
I want a way to turn back the clocks
I wanna see the skies
I see my train but I don't know where it stops
Now I see your diamond eyes
 
I hope we find a way to get back what we need
So all my brothers and my sisters will be free
Sometimes I feel like the world is full of fools
I can't cheat at the game cos I don't know the rules
 
I want a way to turn back the clocks
I wanna see the skies
I see my train but I don't know where it stops
Now I see your diamond eyes

Not bad at all...vox maybe need to come up a bit? A bit cliche but who cares its rock'n..........welcome to the amp.


.....actually the volume isnt the problem...need more POWER...sing it like ya mean it! Nice skills on the guitar as well.

I like this song, very nice guitar.
I think your vocal could have been molded more into the song with some effects etc, because the guitar track has that 'big' rock sound I feel your vocal should be the same.

O, and I believe a 'welcome to bandAmp' is in order too.

That  guitar kick ass! A lot of power here!
I just don't like the vox sound. Try to re-equalize it, and turn up the lows and highs and turn down a bit the middles, and give it a bit of reverb and compression.
The rest is pretty good. The guitar playing is really good, and the ryff as well.

Great job, and there's not much I can say that hasn't been said. So I'll do the repeat: Great guitar riffs, the lead is quite fun. But yes, I agree with the work on the vocals. BasketCase has it pinpointed pretty well, you don't have that "Oomph" in your singing for this one. But apart from that, good job! Keep it up!

Hey
Nice garagerock! needs more power in the vocals, and in general sounds just like british rock when it's at it best.

Cool

very cool song
I gonna disagree with some of the others on here. I really like the vocals in this. I played this through  both sets of monitors. The guitars are fat and full, so I think I would just double the vocal track the same way, or copy ,( if in computer) and pan a little different. It will fatten it up without changing the tone. which is what I like. It's like new garage band stuff with  late 60"s style vocals I hear the words free and that's the band your vocals remind me of kinda.  The timing and playing is very tight. Good Job.

I agree with toastedgoad copy and paste vox and pan to bring them up and add little more highs to it.The rest of the music is there.

very good sound
voice is a little loud, throw alittle distortion and reverb into the voice, give it alittle more depth, voice should peak with the song too at times to give it a little more feel. When only the guitar is playin, try givin it a little dirtier sound, more gain, try to bring it up a note.
