Title: My first try at recording an emotional pop-song.
Post by: aurorablind on April 19, 2010, 01:02:14 PM

This is a song that i made a while ago. It's about social anxiety, so it's very personal and i finally got myself to record it.
I normally only record acoustic stuff or metal, so this was quite a challenge. I don't know about the result, so i wanted someone to comment on it.
So, here you go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXzYyAMHUVc (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXzYyAMHUVc)

Thanks! :)

YEAH. NO COMMENTS, LOSER. THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR OPENING UP. CRAWL BACK INTO YOUR SOCIALLY ANXIOUS SHELL.

No, seriously, it's really nice - it's got a very lush sound for something with such sparse instrumentation. You've got quite an expressive little voice. Thoroughly lovely. It's got a lot of artistic credibility for a pop song, too. Bit of a Beatles vibe.

Dude you make some good stuff, I remember the start of your big 'ol prog epic a while ago.  Keep it up!

Did anyone say you vaguely sound like Jem Godfrey?  Not exactly, but somewhat.  Good stuff dude!

Your voice is convincing. I mean, you sound like a true singer. The recording is also very well done. I could easily imagine this being played on the radio or in a videoclip. Good job.

Hey man, well done!  Very convincing, nicely put together, and you have a great voice.  It's a lot more thought out and better than about 85% of the "pop" music out there  :tup

By the way, did you ever make any more tracks following that 4 part demo you put up here a little while back?  That thing was GREAT and was looking forward to hearing the rest of it.

Thanks :)
No, i haven't really gotten around to finishing it. It's a song i only work on when i've got new ideas that i think are great. I don't really want to rush it, you know.. But, i'll defenitely finish it one day  :)

You sound like Robbie Williams. (And that's a compliment)
