"My Intentions"

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:

Not-tuned guitars and banjo along with some half-assed melodica and bass? Hell yeah.

The vocal melody, too, is uninteresting and the vocals seem weak.
But the track is killer. I love the melodica lines. The guitar almost seems percussive.

Every time you spell Smile as SMiLE, an angel's wings are forcibly torn off its body.

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.

Actually, I liked the waltz melody, just not the vocals.

Oh, my bad memory strikes again, then. As long as you found something to not like, though...
