[silverdolphin]

I really like your new song! your voice sounds great :)
I think it will sound great as a rock song with a full band.

Thanks Zee! yeah I'd love to add a full band to some of my songs. I had drum ideas for this one, but the keyboard loops just weren't good enough

Dylan, is this song better vocally

much. i can imagine turning on the radio and hearing this song, and then singing along. and then be a little ashamed to mention that i like it to my friends... don't worry thats a good thing.

yes, would sound fucking gold as a full band song.

GET A BAND TOGETHER!!!

Thanks Dylan!! Yeah I need to do that eventually. I keep applying to music stores, maybe I'll find some people that way

[Gutter Dreams]

one of my favourites yet!

Thanks Sarah! I'm working on 2 more right now. one is called "Broken Down Machine" little different sound than my normal. The other "Hanging on Tight" totally stuck on lyrics with this one.

I've been writing a bunch of songs since the last one, but didn't like any of them, then I wrote this one Tuesday after I got some cool news.

Sometimes I see myself as
A failure that rolls in last
It's never a good sign
To go back that far in my mind
But right now, I don't care
About what use to be there

So pinch me, I think I'm dreaming
And even if this feeling
Is gone by tomorrow
At least I had what I had today

I wise up but it never works out
It's always another let down
I feel like I'm worth more
Then I feel like I'm running backwards
But right now, I don't care
About what's not really there

It's not every day
I get to say
I'm never gonna feel this way again

[Shelley41]

I love love love this song! I esp love this part:

And even if this feeling
Is gone by tomorrow
At least I had what I had today

I love it. Pretty melody and vocals are just mind blowing. And lyrics are great, I hope you get out of that phase you are right now. I know you will.

I know these are kinda just songs without arrangements since it's only you playing and singing but have you thought of challenging yourself as guitar player? Maybe try some finger picking or just picking notes rather than playing chords like rhythm guitarist?

[Boni Boy Blue]

Good song, I like it. Can't say why I enjoy like everyone else, I just do.

A failure that comes in last

I swear you said roll in last. I think I need my hearing tested.

I heard roll too

Thank You!, yeah that came out of no where, one of the fastest chorus I've ever written

Thanks!, yeah I hope something turns around for me, I was really excited about something Tuesday, so we'll see where it leads.

Thats actually what I was doing with the songs I didn't like..lol. I was messing around with different chord progressions and such. And I've been playing around with finger picking and lead parts, so its getting there, just not good enough to put a song together with the ideas, or I'm not comfortable with it yet. Probably my best was "Simple Difficulty", thats the most unique song I've written. I have a lot of fun playing rhythm which is probably why I always go back to it, but if I got some recording gear, I'd add backing vox and a second guitar to the songs for sure

Thanks!, and yeah its roll, changed it and forgot to fix it in the lyrics... *fixed

[Heather]

wrote a new one out of no where the other day. its not perfect, but its my first song thats not just open chords. I had an awesome amp effect on the bridge with my electric, but can't record it :(

Well I don't know why
but there's something lingering on my mind
and I can't find the time
to say goodbye

If you've got nothing to say
I wish you'd walk away
cause I'm living in a haze
as it all disintegrates

Into those burning scars
like amber stars
filling up my whole heart
and I don't know what to do
what to do

I've never claimed to be
anyone else but me
I'm starting to believe
I lied about everything

I'm grasping to thin air
with nothing left to spare
My weary soul beware
as I begin to tear

Into those burning scars
like amber stars
filling up my whole heart
and I don't know what to do
what to do

And how long must I wait
for it all to take shape
I need some kind of escape
before I break
before I break

Really loved the "riff" in the beginning! This is exactly what I wanted to hear Heather, awesome. Overall it reminded me a lot of Avril. Great guitar playing.

thanks samuel! yeah I started trying some "picking" after your comment. I'd probably keep that "riff" going through the verse with the electric effect if I had proper recording gear. I wish Av would sing lower, lately her key has been weird, but yeah, trying to branch out in my guitar playing

[lisaNL]

I really like it! Your guitar playing is indeed very nice in this one, I love the 'breakdown' at 2:15. And btw I love you new sig and avatar.

thanks lisa! yeah I was hoping it would fit in with the song there on acoustic since the electric sounded so cool. but I think it turned out great. and yeah, decided it was time for a sig/avatar change, thanks
