"Dance So Well"

[the captain]

I have posted to myspace a song I wrote and recorded in late November, "Dance So Well." It's just an acoustic guitar, double-tracked vocal and single-tracked harmony vocal, a simple waltz with a little hiccup of 2/4 every now and again. No click track, no punch-ins, nothing fancy. I slightly remixed and posted it this morning (someone actually requested it...can you believe that?).

Feel free to stop by there and listen.

Overall I'd say I like it. It's a nice melody. I like the playing style. The bridge is kind of boring and the ending is pretty unsatisfying, but I like the sort of old-timey innocent feel the song evokes. The vocals'd be nicer if it was two or three different people and not just a wall-of-Luther, but I can't fault you for that.

Lately I've been trying to herd my jackass friends (can't you tell I love them?) to help with just that--that or single-track more, to avoid the problem. This one, in fact, is just a double-tracked lead and a single-tracked harmony. But I do get your point. And yeah, it is definitely not anything groundbreaking, just a little thing I thought up one day that I thought was kind of pretty in just the way you mentioned, an old-time kind of thing.

Thanks for your comments. I really appreciate it.

It's a nice little ditty but might sound better with a piano instead or a fuller production. Sort of Macca-ish.
