Chaps Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) I've decided to set this one aside until I can upgrade my guitar software and redo all the guitar parts, but all the parts I want are there. The story I want to tell is in there somewhere. This is a very rough mix but mixing it is wearing me down because every time I listen to it I hear something else I don't like. A song about love and loss as part of the human experience, for your amusement and and maybe your entertainment. All non-guitar and vocal parts were done in the Cakewalk by Bandlab PRV. All comments and suggestions are welcome. Kim and the Smiling Assassins Edited January 24 by Chaps remix 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treesha Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I like it. I know what you mean about listening to a song in progress and hearing stuff to improve. Intriguing title. Good instruments playing. Good dynamics and changes. Keep at it till you are happy with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The title refers to a fictional past girlfriend, and all the other girls, who broke the singer's heart when young love was so intense and it felt like dying when he was rejected. I got the idea from a friend named Kim years ago who wanted to start a band called 'Smiling Assassins'. I told her I thought that was a cool name and asked her if I could use it in a song. She didn't mind and so I wrote the song that night. Like every song I wrote there's a long and boring story behind it with lots of metaphors and symbology. Parts coming in and out representing people coming in and out of our lives and stuff like that. I am not happy with the sound of the guitars in the song because I just can't make them sound like what I hear in my head, so I will redo all the guitar parts when I have better software. Right now I'm using various free guitar sims from Overloud, IK Multimedia, Amplitube, Guitar Locker, and others I've collected along the way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
equality Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I liked this a lot. Got some Velvet Underground vibes musically. I think you've come a long way with the free stuff you're using. Great solos and transitions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
