2nd song for the RPM challenge in 2012. As always, feedback is appreciated!

Lyrics:

Hold on little girl. Don't lose hope.
Even though things seem so damn broken now,
I want you to know that it gets so much better.

My thoughts flow out, like a hurricane,
Always pressing on to you even when we are alone.
You hold a piece of this wandering heart.
I only hope it brings some comfort when you're feeling low.

Challenges show your strength

Just wait for tomorrow.

Holding on when we're weak makes us stronger.
Squeeze my hand if you're afraid.
I won't leave you.

Gotta say, because I love talking to myself- this is certainly the most fun I've had writing a song in terms of time signatures. We've got a mix of 4/4, 5/4, 6/4, and 7/4 in here. Also 2 tempos- which I don't often do within a single song.

nice changes in this song,hard to count :p
love the big riffs, breaking it up! great recording as always, u really must like compression ;p
I would like some intro though..
sounds a bit sterile on mon's, but awesome on my stereo! very deep base!
like!

You think I over-did it on compression, Max? I'm still learning the ropes there. I think this style/genre of music should be pretty compressed (at least the guitars and drums) but I could have gone overboard..

As for the (lack of an) intro... Yeah it's weird. I don't think I've written many songs that start with vocals and guitar right on measure one. It just felt... right, with this one.

Thanks for the kind words!

I uploaded this on Compression - It will give you a good understanding of it..

Another Great Song Brian - Good luck with the competition

Are you using auto-tune in your vocals? I think that's what I don't like about them.

@Iszil: No... so your comment doesn't really make sense to me...

Thanks Denis. I look forward to reading this.

That's really weird! Are you using some filter on them? There's something there that bothers me.

Other than, the song is pretty good.
