This song is not in a battle


Tried to finish this as quickly as possible before going on a trip this Christmas.

I actually really enjoyed playing this. Sorry for the bit at the end..I sort of got carried away.

Lyrics:
Take anything you want
Anything that you want me to be
You’re putting me on the spot
I’ll see anything you want me to see
Tugging me along
You’re tugging tightly at my chain
And I and I and I pretend
I have another name

I pretend
I can play this game
I pretend
I have another name
I pretend
Just to be myself
I don’t know
Just what the hell I am

Let me put on my façade
Just who  will I be today
Do you want me silent and watching?
Or should I be calling out your name
Do you want me rolling and laughing?
Or could I stay just the same
Do you want me eager and hopeful?
Or filled with so much  angst-y shame

I pretend
I can play this game
I pretend
I have another name
I pretend
Just to be myself
I don’t know
Just what the hell I am

I pretend
I pretend
I pretend
I pretend

Have you ever tried a Sitar in your music, I think it would really go well with your vocal tone.

Great song, your vox are great nice and relaxed, good projection!!

Have a great trip.

Best Wishes

re: Pretend
britpop............style
bu the mix is pretty flat
yep thats my comment............could be so much more awake!!!!
all a bit dead sounding in the mix

its a very lively and complex track.....well constructed.... and i like it but it sounds a bit floppy

a lot depends on the software u use and the way you record....and what u do after all the hard work of composing and recording the song is done

mastering needed to bring out the layers of the song....behind the voc trak....EQ!!!!  to sharpen-up sounds .. especially the guitar .....PAN to spread the picture ............ the vocs are clear in the mix.........but sitting on mush..not just a normalize

sorry 2 be a bit tecky.......but the song worth it

still love the song....merry christmas
