Feedback on Finished songs / Re: Between Broken And Blessed

Hi
I like this song of yours
Your production skills, and musical skills are to be envied.
Your song lyrics are to the point, really upfront.
...
I have to say
It's what you write about
music business and the different creative approaches
that really make me think.

You've been about in the business and about , trying to get into the business too.

My Music means a lot to me personally So I continue with it.
If I can be as good, in my own way, as Cohen, Dylan, Reed are good their ways.
I will without hesitation, be able to consider myself as artistically Successful.
I consider this a realistic ambition.
Realising it would mean a lot to me and wouldn't have to mean anything to anyone else.

... to some that might sound romantic, but
     I find that generally, ladies have difficulty with it
      When they realise that their charming partner
       isn't really interested in keeping up with the jones's. Etc.

The little i've seen of the business side of music
And even just audio editing
I've found repulsive to varying degrees.

I've friends about that still inform me of their next schemes to turn music into money.
I try to stay polite, but it's tiring.
If I were to, even try to write for commercial success I'm sure the results would be a grotesque failure, and the road to it would be silly. I'd be striving to become a 2nd rate imitation, at best.
   How do I become an Asian elvis presley impersonator.
Life is elsewhere.

Sorry, I get sidetracked with this business issue.

Elvis Nash you've a wealth of verifiable talent.
I think you're blessed!

I hope you are now recovered from your health and life problems.
It's the first song I heard today on my sunny and fresh morning and it has been a great complement to my general state.
I like the tempo, it already has the dance or cadence that accompanies this story.
Good lyrics, special and personal.
I can't criticize anything here, I think everything is in its place. The voice... It's one of your best performances, for sure.
Well, I already opened the comments so...the rest will come later hahaha
Good morning and good week @rightly

Lyrics / Night and Day
« Last post by rightly on Yesterday at 09:52:18 AM »
This might be lacking a chorus
I don't care much for choruses
Still the ending might be a tad abrupt.


Night and Day

the face you make, night and day
rise and shine, come what may
is this all you would ask of me,
the low hanging fruit from the nearest tree?
I have my pride
tell me, what's your need

stars align, bold and bright

sirens wail, my body aches I
cannot fail or hesitate
this, my dove, my olive branch I
take my lead from given circumstance
wind in my sails
as I take your hand

I cannot fail, you understand

jumping fences, the open field
no loose change to conceal
useful friend, my tiny empire
to defend, to move and inspire
me at your side
we'll survive if not thrive

taking chances, do or die

I put this together about 3 years ago
On the tail end of a very productive phase. I was exhausted.
I wanted to return to it and give it more,
but I had health issues and other aspects of life became more urgent.
So, I fell off the horse with it, but for me, it kept its charm.
I thought it one of my rare uplifting songs.

Because of new software n hardware, it'd take a lot of figuring out,
I'd have liked to have taken it further.
These days I've plenty new material to focus on. So...
I thought It's best just to let it go.

Hi
When I read 90s pop I was thinking oh no, not one of those bruising oasis tunes.
This song is really charming, heartwarming
Hearing the first few bars, I was pleasantly surprised.
When the lyrics go faster I get an elvis costello vibe.

It is uplifting and seems to capture a feeling of first time innocence.

Hi mora
That 3/4 time is infectious, huh?
I've started my 2nd production in that time signature in the last 2 months
I'm only gradually discovering what I (with my limitations) can do with it.

With your song here
I hear the humour, almost slapstick
that I hear in a lot of 3/4

Nice psychedelic touches here and there, too.
 Excellent, articulate guitar here too
That was a nice listen. 👌

Well I'm not even middle aged - I'm an old b*****d!! But I totally got off one this one. It's really catchy and would go down great live. I couldn't dance when I was young enough and I'd probably do myself a mischief if I tried now, but I was tempted!! Seriously this is another great track. No crits at all from me. :)



Haha. Thanks @ChrisPrice

I can't dance either :)

The first hello can be aimed at teenagers , Age has nothing to do with it
Good job man , all tight in the right places

Thanks, Elvis.

Morning John @pompeyjazz

The production on this is up to your usual high standards.

I listened to it twice. The first time without reading the lyrics and my first impressions was that it is a good song, but would benefit from a strong chorus.

I listened again, this time reading the lyrics and noted that what I assumed to be the verse, you refer to as the chorus and what I thought was the bridge was in fact the verse.

To me, this could be. elevated into a truly great song if you halved what you call the chorus sections and then after what you call the verse sections, go into a big melodic chorus :)

Just my opinion!!!
