Keith Wilby

I was going for the Beatles' "Long Long Long" effect ? Splendid idea ? That's the point of the story being told; the guy is lamenting the often mundane and absurd aspects of his life because he is dying, so his days are gone and the realisation has hit him hard. I don't know what "tmi" means I'm afraid.

Yeah I did wonder if it was a bit long. I'm still pondering that one, and I don't normally go in for the wall of sound approach but it seems to fit the topic quite well IMO ?

Hi Jack. I'm not a fan of doing double-tracked vocals but I'll certainly take a look at the EQ.

Cheers Gary. You hum it son, I'll play it.

I sincerely don't want to cause any offence, and I do appreciate the skill that has gone into creating this, but have you considered doing your own arrangement rather than cloning the original? I know that it can be a good learning experience to recreate what you hear on a record, and that night well have been your goal, but in my limited experience, it can be a real buzz to make an established song "your own". I think I pulled it off with the Beatles' "For No one" many years ago, so if I can do it then so can you. Just my 2p worth ?

Not my cup of tea but wow, what superb musicianship and the mix is just sublime. Well done.

If you're of a certain age and you grew up in the UK then you might identify with some of this. https://www.bandlab.com/post/9baf255e-ffef-ed11-9f73-6045bd31b578 EDIT: new link. Shorter second guitar solo, some phrases re-sung with improved diction, cello added to first bridge, other minor tweaks.

Thanks Nigel. I've tarted the vocal up now and updated the link.

Thanks Jack. Yeah I always struggle with the vocals so I might go back and do some touching up, but I don't think this song will be part of my own repertoire, I just did it because I fancied it.

Your voice has potential IMO. Try a more aggressive approach to singing and apply some EQ and verb. Sounds a bit bassy and seems to sit on top of the mix for me.

Fantastic job, well done indeed ?

I saw the title and I thought it was my song of the same name ? I do like (what I consider to be) "strange" stuff like this. Reminded me of Talking Heads, particularly the vocal. Very nice job ?

Sorry @DeeringAmps that was probably me being a bit over zealous tidying up ?

I think this is probably as good as I can make it now. Thanks for all the feedback ? https://www.bandlab.com/post/4927805f-3ee3-ed11-9f73-6045bd31b578

Thank you so much @Supa Reels ?

You have a wonderful singing voice, I don't think that "Solace" needs the delay on it. I think it would would have far more impact without it. Just my 2p worth.

This started out as my lyrics set onto a backing track from the Bandlab website. I decided to make my own backing track to make the verses scan a bit better, and here it is. Comments welcomed as always. https://www.bandlab.com/post/031e50d2-c9da-ed11-9f73-6045bd31b578

You were a hell of a sight better than the band I was in at school in 73. You must have had a real blast doing this. Great job.

Yes indeed, disrespect on here is the furthest thing from my mind, plus this isn't "my own tune" [sic] anyway, and a "free guitar solo" wouldn't benefit me in any way, I just thought it would be a bit of a hoot and bring a smile to peoples' faces. I thought we were all one big happy band here and, for the record, I did invite you @RikF to collaborate on the Bandlab project. I'm a complete newbie to "forking" but if I set the project privacy wrong or got the etiquette wrong then, in the greater scheme of things, it's not really a big deal is it? And quite how I "put [you] on the spot" is a mystery to me I'm afraid.

I wrote some lyrics and added vocals. Perhaps someone clever could put the two together? https://www.bandlab.com/post/65048b73-7fd7-ed11-9f73-6045bd31b578

You can fork me anytime ?

Really can't fault this, I'm rather envious. I didn't hear any issue with the vocal. Beautiful voice. Very well done to all involved.

Early days with this one folks, comments welcomed. Thanks. https://www.bandlab.com/post/3f852afe-e6d6-ed11-9f73-6045bd31b578

Leremwald - great guitars and vocals and a good mix. The only thing I didn't like was the drums, they're way too busy for me.
