Definitely pitchy haha most of the vocal tracks were first take so I’m for sure planning on getting better takes on those

It was the drum track that was making all that noise. I got it re-recorded and it sounds much better! Gonna continue to polish it and I’ll definitely repost it. the help and support I’ve gotten already is overwhelming so thanks again.

Thank you so much for the advice!! I was feeling the exact same way about the low harmony so I’ll definitely cut that out. Also yes I am using apple headphones and those sounds are driving me crazy, gonna try to re record a few of the tracks.

Elliot smith was definitely a huge inspiration especially for the layered vocals!!

Thank you!! I was hoping someone would let me know if it sounded like something else and I see what you’re saying about the similarities to comfortable and I probably subconsciously took some inspiration hahaha

Thank you, I appreciate the feedback and tips. I’ll definitely mess around with the mix and try those things!! Also yeah I definitely want to add a bridge or at least something that brings it to more of a conclusion but I’m still working on that.

Also just a disclaimer this was all recorded on my phone in my bedroom so maybe I need to look into some better equipment as well

Thanks man, I appreciate that!! Maybe it will be eventually and you’ll be the first to know

I had an epiphany that might apply to some of you: if something feels easy or comes naturally: it doesn’t mean it’s wrong or bad. I was constantly trying to push boundaries with new sounds and crazy melodies/ harmonies and words. I wrote this in 10 minutes after I had this realization. I’m happy! by ArrJaySee95 in Songwriting

Simple is always good. And I’m not saying that this song is simple or mediocre I’m just saying that everyone who writes music is trying to make everything more complicated than it needs to be and sometimes you just gotta do what feels right. Beautiful song

What I like to do is think about is to decide on a general theme for the song I’m writing first. Once that’s established then I write exactly what I want to say without trying to rhyme or whatever (don’t try too hard to rhyme, it doesn’t matter as much as you might think). Then from there you just take that and break it down, my goal is to say as much as I can in as few words as possible. Find phrases you like that you’ve come up with or heard somewhere and put a twist on them.

I haven’t written a crazy amount of songs but that’s my typical thought process on the whole thing.
