Title: "My Intentions" Post by: the captain on May 05, 2008, 02:30:16 PM I just posted "My Intentions," which is almost certainly one of very few songs ever to open with the line "Dance with me, you syphilitic tramp," at:

But the track is killer. I love the melodica lines. The guitar almost seems percussive. Title: Re: \ Post by: the captain on May 08, 2008, 01:28:51 PM I love the vocal melody, so I have to pass on that comment. In fact, it is in the same general vibe as another one I think you specifically noted not liking, the guitar-and-vocal waltz. I like both of those melodies a lot, thinking they well-fit a certain kind of traditional music vibe. But I agree with you about the vocal performance. On one hand, I didnt want it sounding polished at all and so I didn't want to work hard on it (going for the aforementioned half-ass sound). But the result is just that it doesn't sound very good (as opposed to drunkenly charming). And the low part is out of my comfortable range. The more-centered guitar (the one playing arpeggios) was almost percussive, really plucked hard and also EQ'd oddly.
