Hello
Releasing this new song and wanted to share with the forum, any feedback is welcome.
Bit of a mix of folk, Americana & blues.
Rest Your Head (Lyric Video)
Rest Your Head by Chris Keys
V1
When you cry... but no one wants to know
When you've tried... and nothing seems to show
When you run... but running does no good
When you hide... hiding like a fool
C1
You can rest your head next to mine...
Next to mine... Next to mine... Next to mine...
V2
When you fight... fighting on your own
When you climb... but nowhere left to go
When your out... feeling outa control
When your day... just never seems to roll
C2
You can rest your head next to mine...
Next to mine... Next to mine... Next to mine...
Instrumental
C3
You can rest your head next to mine...
Next to mine... Next to mine... Next to mine...
Outro
Next to mine... Next to mine... Next to mine...
Next to mine... Next to mine... Next to mine...

Thanks bud I was very happy with the groove and the way this one came together.

I think it’s great really clear - a nice song - can’t really add anymore x

I thought this was strikingly good - largely because of your exceptional vocals, which were reminiscent of Kelly Jones or the dude from Reef. It's a good illustration that you don't need many chords or clever transitions to keep things interesting - it's simple but really works because your voice carries it all the way home. Nice build in the first half of the song too.

Superb stuff, real lively sound about the production that's very enjoyable.
Maybe a little too lively, certainly those guitars all sound very upfront and close to the listener which is a great effect but the sound of it could tire the listeners ears after a while, be a bit too much. Maybe worth thinking about.
Song is really catchy, your voice is really soulful. Loved it!
-
Incredible vocals.
-
Vocals, like everyone says. I've heard a couple of yours now. I think they're very professional and you could maybe give me lessons???

Totally my thoughts keeping things simple sometimes can be a better result.

Thanks I listen to a lot of soul music and singers so maybe it's finding its way in finally. I know what your saying I have thought a few times about the current mix and guitar level etc

Hahah well thank you very much, I don't know a great deal about singing thou I'm always trying to improve myself and only really happy this past year or 2 after singing for about 20 years :-)) But yes I and very much a d.i.y musician and tend to do music by ear no theory or anything like that. Thank you
