an old song of mine i found
here is a song i found digging through my old stuff. i made it at least a year ago or more. it was very minimal, i kind of did it in a day, and played everything on it. that bridge thing is just a joke, a cheesy sample i found online-- because the person i was making the song for, well, we have all sorts of jokes about cheesy things like that. so it fits even though it doesn't sound like it does. (hence the cheesy opening, the chimes, etc)
anyway, i was supposed to add vocals and other things, and mix it better, but then my hard drive crashed (if you guys remember), and so i lost all the files to it. all i had left was this mp3. it's funny listening back to it now, and how bad everything sounds, and what a sloppy musician i am (i played everything on it-- as you can tell i'm not a guitarist).

why do my drums always sound so terrible in recording? oh well. it's funny in retrospect.

NOT. It sounds great, guy. Not slick at all but it totally suits the material. "creative recording". Guy.wing wrote:it's funny listening back to it now, and how bad everything sounds
Pssht, yeah whatever. You are sloppy but I'll take sloppy over boring any day, besides, you're sloppy and good not sloppy and painful to listen to.and what a sloppy musician i am
Psssht, yeah whatever, as long as it sounds cool, which it does. You've got a good ear, clearly.as you can tell i'm not a guitarist).
I think this song rocks, the chanting and the chimes were WTF moments but they still worked. Who cares if you only have an mp3? I say finish the song. It's easy to be really hard on yourself, I know I am, but I'm being sincere when I say I really like this cut, and I wish you would post more music.
Re: an old song of mine i found
I'd have to agree with A.L., I like the groove of the drums. I like the acoustic guitar a lot that is a nice melody. That is a nice bass tone how did you acheive it if you still remember.
Don't be so hard on yourself. That is a lot better than a lot of stuff I hear out there good job.
Me and smilie give it two thumbs up

This sounds awesome, Jonathan. Don't know why you're ragging on it. At all. And your drums always give me a boner. Maybe I could sing on it sometime down the road? Collaborating is hawt.
I am wangtacular.

Yeah. The drums sound trashy, but the groove is sick! It should be easy enough to get a good vocal melody happening here.. do it! I like when you hit the bell of the ride in the "chorus"?

Re: an old song of mine i found
This is really good Jon. Finish it up. I love the climbing bass part, the drums are super rock, the guitar playing and parts are great. Good job, I'd like to try and add stuff to this if that's ok?
