Bridge Youre checkin out, your reflextion, nobody see´s you No one pays you no mind, Blending in with the crowd Feeling not so proud, Your fanatsy world breaking down yeah Tattoo`s are stinging , pieced skin`s a weeping Your pride is creaking….yeah yeah yeah... ….solo.... Acoustic Break …...ohh ahh ooh ahh ooh ahh....... Youve backed yourself into a corner right now Being so cool , just didnt work out The outside world frightens you most You walk alone feeling just like a ghost .....chorus..... .....outro.....

KSband Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Nice song, very well written. Enjoyed the harmonies and guitar solos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABull Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 (edited) Hey Paul -- very nice -- esp. when it gets to the doo-wahs and the bridge -- some clever chord changes there. It does seem that the song really gets going from the bridge on -- maybe try to connect the verses before that better music-wise? The mix and arrangement are pleasing as are the vocals. Catchy song - - Allan. Edited March 14, 2023 by ABull 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noynekker Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Paul, this one sounds great to my ears, it's a very well written song ! lots of different pieces that keep the interest . . . from your introduction at the top of the thread, sounds like you ran the gamut of feelings about it, but trust me, this one turned out really good. The harmonies really stand out, and I always love your lead vocals, you've also got a warm expressive and melodic sound to that lead guitar. If I were the drummer on this one (only in my dreams) I would be banging those toms a lot more, (hint, hint) Mix wise, the one thing I noticed was the 3rd chorus volume or intensity dips a bit. Also, it sounds like you were inspired by some of those same British bands I admire as well . . . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry T. Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Another very, very good song and interesting production. Maybe a bit less reverb on the drums. The lead guitar is perfect. Nice arrangement touches here and there that keep the song moving and interesting. I'd bring the bass up in certain sections. Vox are great ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Bush Posted March 19, 2023 Author Share Posted March 19, 2023 Thanks chaps for all the positive feedback, Bass Is really a problem with me as I cant really play Bass and i´m never really happy with it so I tend to and hide it and inspite of that a I do turn it up but never enough It may be due to my cheap headphones , I bought nice ones and well I just dont like them , I threw everything but the kitchen sink at this one productionwise (creative sauce tutorials my lifes blood) I do feel this is my best production thus far ...learning by doing as they say .....great forum, great members ,always a pleasure cheers guys......

treesha Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Hi Paul, Great job, nice mix, I like the vocals and harmonies, the guitar is very nice, pleasant song indeed. I like the way you go into the bridge part, very well crafted song all around. Don’t hide the bass ha. I appreciate that you posted the lyrics, your vocals are very clear but it’s a good idea (for me to do too!). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynn Wilson Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Yeah, great song, Paul! I love your taste in music, and this song has a catchy vibe that just doesn't quit. Go ahead and punch up that bass a little, and this song will be one to hang your hat on. I should say that your lyrics and vocals are very good from song to song. That's one of your strengths! Keep it up!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used TH3 Tube nine (screamer)with a fender darkface 65, with a fender tweed cabinet, with a vahalla delay using my cheap mexico secondhand strat , I did double track it though I hope this answers your question as I´m not up to speed on the recording jargon. cheers once again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyB01 Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Liked the change up at the bridge - it's a great song. My one crit is that it slightly sounds like its being held back as an overall mix - I guess I just really wanted it to break out and fly. That said - it's a very minor crit - you did a great job on it. Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
