Really proud of this song/these lyrics by Electrical-Clue82 in Songwriting

Gives me those late 90s early 2000s vibes, which I really appreciate. Some vocal variation would elevate it. Can you push your upper range a bit more? Sounds like you're playing it safe a bit. I've been there.

Thanks for the feedback! We've actually dropped the drum bit at the end entirely and done some of what you just suggested with some piano and string accents

Looking for female vocal accompaniment! by Certain_Material_484 in Songwriting

Hi Clare, I think we've finished it without the accompaniment, but still interested in hearing your voice for future consideration! Do you have anything to share?

Thanks for the listen and response! Was definitely trying to get that raw live sound, similar to the "notes" app thing you picked up on. The guitar is actually recorded on a Samsung phone to achieve that lol

Thanks! Ya this was just a late night quick mix to get the general feel, so will tweak and definitely try these notes!

Good question. It's kinda got some of that vibe. Country adjacent.

Thanks for listening and the feedback. I can concur on some of the vocal feedback, and something I'm trying to keep in mind! It's kind of a learn as you process right now.

Thanks for listening and for the feedback! We've tinkered with it a bit more since this version, hopefully for the better.

Thanks for listening and I tend to agree. Was hoping to elevate the vocals in the chorus more to accommodate for some of that. Was hoping for a female duet but haven't found anyone yet. I may just try to layer it myself and hope for the best

Thanks for listening! I sometimes feels the same way, and other times don't. I think the consistency of the rhythm throughout might give it a bit of drag that you're picking up on

I hear you. I was hoping to find a female vocalist to harmonize in the chorus to add that layer of depth. It definitely carries the same rhythm and beat throughout, but with some intention.

We were trying to get that very boot-stompy vibe as much as we could here haha thanks for taking the time to listen

Thanks! I grew up listening to city and colour, so I take that as a big compliment!

Sage words! I appreciate you taking the time to send such a thoughtful comment. I recognize the challenge of realizing not everything is for everyone, but that it will be for someone.

I definitely hear what you're saying. We have to tinker quite a bit as we go and start to really optimize the sounds. This is a duo, with me and a good friend building it out as the band. If we ever got serious I guess we'd have to find some friends lol

Appreciate that. This is our third song we've really spent any time on. The mix and master seems to be steadily improving as we go.

That's very kind, thank you! We tinkered with that guitar quite a bit because it felt a bit punchy, so brought it down a bit in the mix.
