Feedback on Finished songs / Re: Between Broken And Blessed

Things are looking up , I caught a 12 lb cat fish yesterday Nick . Well actually I was watching TV , the kid next to me jumped over the deck and reeled him in , but on my pole , so I'm claiming my fish. Maybe I should join the derby this weekend pay 10 bucks and catch the biggest catfish and win 5k . Of course these guys that travel 100's of miles to fish the derby have 60k boats and are sponsored by Budweiser, with 70k trucks pulling the boat .

Well, I'm glad this song was born, it is so well constructed and produced!!! You make the tone changes so natural, little forced! I really liked it, both the lyrics, the music and the voice!!

Buen día @Nick Ryder

Hi @rightly

This is a curious number and has a 60's vibe to it. I'd love to hear some sitar in the mix just to give it a real retro feel.

Like so many songs posted on this forum, I think it would benefit from a strong chorus because whilst the verses are fairly strong, as are the bridges, without a chorus hook I'm not sure the song is strong enough for this listener to want to come back to it and ultimately, I assume that is what we all want - repeat listens?

@Nick Ryder

Yes, it could more 60s. I've never used sitar. 😆 it's very powerful.
I'll get around to it eventually.
It's been said I dress 70s

Repeat listens is nice yes.
I sometimes write choruses,and sometimes find them tedious.
I know it's an element that's often expected
If i was trying to write a mega hit hot popsong I'd be more inclined to put one in there.
But I'm not, so I'm free to discover other guidelines and have other restrictions.

Thank for taking the time to share your thoughts.

I sometimes fancy a break from the process, but I can't! This is another of your classy songs. The influences are obvious so I won't go there again. Great vocals and a fabulous arrangement. it's hard to off critique when something's done as well as this. Anthemic in the right way. A wonderful track. :)

That's really kind of you, @ChrisPrice

It's weird isn't it? Not sure what it's like for you but music is just in my head and I can't stop it at the moment. If I ten what I feel is a good idea then I have to record it because if not, then it's lost forever.

I guess now I have this studio setup its going to be a bit if a curse on my time until I run out of ideas!!

Oh well, there are worse problems to have :)

Hi@pompeyjazz
Thanks for the feedback. Your comments about the mixing are more or less the same as others have noted ie vocals need bringing up and too much reverb. I've already started a remix and am taking a bit more time to get it right.

@moraamarolaloba

You're probably the most original artist on here and you create a unique sound on everything you do. I see you as a poet / artists as opposed to a traditional songwriter as you do not follow any rules.

And that's a great thing but it makes it hard for me to review!!

The soundscape, mix and performance all sounds amazing.

Es verdad Nick, I think I am my own experiment and that makes me a bit... bizarre... but I know that my lyrics, using everyday simple and various colored words, help me make metaphors, something that I love, without them life for me would be very flat and I am not a flat-earther. hahaha
Thank you for your comment and sincerity.
Today is Tuesday? There are still days left in the week, I hope they are great for everyone.
