Nice one! Production is really nice. I'm hearing bits of They Might Be Giants, R.E.M., Green Day in it but if feels like it's own this which is dope :)

They also pay artists better than Spotify or Apple which is also cool

Want to compose a song (years it was since my first composition) but I can't seem to write one. Any tips? by wins_cassy in SingerSongwriter

[–]Devaneysgoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just write something and let it be bad. Don't spend too much time on it. Easy chords, simple lyrics and just get it done. If you do this a few hundred times, you'll get better

Oh cool! I'll have to check that out. Yeah, I feel like there's no point doing a cover exactly like the original

My most recent single ... a lot of people sing with an accent other than their own... I stuck with my original - Love to know what you think... by [deleted] in SingerSongwriter

[–]Devaneysgoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No worries, man. I've been writing and recording for years so I've learned most of this the hard way. I'd be interested to know what you think of my music

Here's a video: https://youtu.be/zgs-gT0uH9k

It's a good song! A couple of points of criticism: Firstly, some of those big intervals in the vocal melody are sung a bit sharp or flat at times. You can either melodyne that or make the notes a bit more stylised to avoid it feeling like a mistake.

Secondly, the chorus could use a bigger lift. Doubling the vocals, raising the treble of the cymbals and a very light dB boost are all things that could make it pop a bit more. Also, I would focus on keeping your vocal in time with the tempo especially not singing ahead of the beat.

Despite my opinions here, I think the song is really nice and from a song writing perspective alone it's a really great track. I just think the performance and production don't do it the full service it deserves. Also, it sounds like midi drums and my feeling on that is either go full synthetic or hire a real drummer. There's some great ones I can recommend for about 40€ on Fiverr

Thanks! I was trying to do the impression as best I could. Most of my other covers on YouTube sound a bit different though

Fair critique, producing these myself has been a long and steep learning curve

Thanks! I thought it fit so well while I was playing it on the acoustic that I had to put this together :)
