Hello everybody sorry I have not been here for the last 4 years but I've had children and lots of work to do thought I just call by and say hi wrote a song tonight, it's a bit ropey, I'm not gonna lie, just felt like giving it a try again. I hope you like it x
Bottle Top Song
By John B
Where are all the birds?
Where are all the bees?
Dawn is quiet now
What happened to the trees?
Paradise isle
But mile after mile
Of sand is littered now
It's been there for a while
They went to the deep
Down to the abyss
To find something clean
Instead they found this
Bottle Top
And a bag from a faraway shop
Bottle Top
And a bag from a faraway shop
Bottle Top
And a bag from a faraway shop
Bottle Top
And a bag from a faraway shop
Where are all the birds?
Where are all the bees?
Dawn is quiet now
What happened to the trees?

Whato - Really dig your voice absolutely spot-on lots of emotion and appropriate feeling and drive in the song completely matches the vibe superb work.
I felt there was potential to put some Beatles type of movement towards a pre-chorus or a chorus.
Other than that great piece of work With a lot of potential
Not ropey at all I’ve had plenty of stems sent to me nowhere near as good as that

Very cool song, John. You've got something there. In my opinion, you just need some arrangement and production. Really liked the melody.
Well done!

Love this. Great start. Reminds me a bit (genre, not sound) of Where do the Children Play, and also a few things from Talking Heads. I think the chorus could use more lyrics rather than the repeat, and there should another verse or two. Beautiful voice you have there. I hope you're getting your mojo back and finding the time to write again.

Really strong vocals mate.
-
Nice tune bud good vocals too
-
You got a really good voice! :) It is a good song too with lots of emotions :)
-
Excellent. Really nice song. Really well delivered. I think it would sound great with some backing to help the song build as it progresses.
Light strings second verse. More substantial strings third verse...
Female backing vocals for the last verse.
Just my opinion and what I'm hearing when I listen.

I really like it -is Beatlesesque and I like it loads - great voice good lyrics
Don’t leave it so long again

WOW! so nice to see you on here again Habitat. I've missed your beautiful voice, and this is such a lovely song. I know how all consuming kids can be, so good for you for taking time for yourself, to write this song :) Keep them coming my friend :)

It's all been said, I think, but I wanted to jump on the bandwagon. One of my favorite themes. And a really great, understated way to present it. Totally effective from my point of view. And, like everyone, I love your voice.

Nice song indeed, really like the topic - and the progression (and the live playing). Perhaps for the island, instead of "It's been there for a while" you could say something like "it'll be there for a while"...
For it will, until we make some major changes...
Definitely healthy to have a musical break from children and work.
All the best!

Hi. Like this. Would love to hear a duet guitar on this. Also more lyrics and harmony in the chorus. Cheers.
I am also looking for a review on a couple of my demos cheers
