Title: New one from me (still in progress)
Post by: Rocker on August 09, 2007, 04:14:15 AM
I recorded a half-finished song by me just to see what it sounds like. As it's just a demo, tempo changes and all that are to be expected. With my band this will sound great, I already have some ideas for the arrangement in my head, I hope we can record this in the coming weeks, but probably it will take a little more.

Please let me know what you think and if there are some grammatical errors, as english is not my native language. All comments are appreciated

:lol You're not gonna believe me, but I was listening to some Love You demos (Brian on the piano) and I slipped this in the playlist, when it started playing I was like "what the heck? I dont remember this song!" and when I went to check it I realized I was listening to your song.

In conclusion, I really dig it! Look forward to the full version.

Any song called 'Diggin your style girl' is a winner in my book!
I like it, I think when it's fleshed out with a band it will be great, it's very 70s sounding, sort of Macca/10CC-ish perhaps and also Supertramp (maybe because of the staccato piano). :)

Here's a version that I have recorded yesterday. The drums, which play a big part in the arrangement I ahve in my head, are not on this track, as my band has yet to learn this song, so you get 100% Rocker  ;D

After recording it to PC, I think the mix isn't right, have to do that better when the band records this.
The song sin't complete, I need two lines of lyrics for one part. Dunno when I get to that.

I like it, especially the Chorus or the bit where the title comes in, that has real edge, I can see with a band that that could really be brought out

Thanks man ! I think it's one of my favorite songs that I wrote. As I said, the drums have a really cool part that is missing here
