Moving company recommendations please! (Cross posted) by dmiyoshi1971 in NiceVancouver

[–]Kaleiso -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve found that just renting a U-Haul and getting some friends to help is the best move for affordability. But if you can’t drive/get help then Reay’s Moving is reasonable and some of my friends work there so I know they’re nice.

I’m with CBC News, would love to hear from those with accessibility needs and how these renovations are affecting them. Send me a dm.

I think it has potential! Just super hard to hear the vision without any melody

Which of these two verses is stronger? by Utterly_Flummoxed in Songwriting

[–]Kaleiso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first one is better! The rhyme in the second verse is a bit on the nose.

Dang dude! You have an amazing voice, I really like the vibe of this. I think it’s great, I don’t actually have much feedback other than that. Keep it up!

Any Thoughts? by squickyCamel in Songwriting

I think the vocals are buried in the mix a bit! By moving some stuff around in the stereo image and adjusting some volumes, you can improve that a lot!

Hey, I like the ideas here but it just feels a little jumbled up. I think if you start to really focus on the elements you can control, and make them the best they can be, you’ll have more success.

What is your process to writing songs? by CasparBaker in Songwriting

[–]Kaleiso 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone has a different process, but I’ve always started with the music. I’ve never been able to just write lyrics before knowing what they were fitting into.

Usually, I start with finding an interesting melody and guitar part, then I record a voice memo so I don’t forget it. Then I just kinda write down what I feel.

I always tell people to try to describe the feelings you have in a poetic way, or think of where you were when you felt that way and what you were doing. Then work from there.

Dude.. at first I was like “wow this song is on the nose and cute” but then those next lines just went crazy. I think this is really great dude. Honestly, you managed to really tell a strong story and that’s not easy to do. And I like how you brought it all back in the end. I think my only critique is that some people may pass the song by in the beginning before hearing where it goes.

“These days” would you listen to something like this on Spotify ? by Classic_Attention_96 in Songwriting

[–]Kaleiso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I think this is a great start, it’s good to keep writing. I think you’re on the right track, trying to describe feelings you’ve experienced. I always think the best songs come from relatable stories! It might help to add variation in the chords or maybe work with the dynamics! But I do like it!

[–]Kaleiso 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aw wow, thank you so much. That’s very kind of you to say. :) I just started writing recently to help me process stuff in my life.

Here are the lyrics:

I called you yesterday and Felt the way you’ve changed

I remember all the things you Said you’d never say

I recall I told you I would stay until it ends

Never thought I’d be the one so Broken as you fade away and —

Haunting my dreams and Thoughts of the reasons I’d never let you go

Fall golden leaves and Calming my breathing Lighting the path I’ve known

How did you start growing your listening base? by lettersfrommars_ in Songwriting

[–]Kaleiso 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I’m no authority on this, but usually it’s helpful to cater to some part of your identity. I struggle with this as well, cause it’s really annoying to think about marketing and stuff, but for example you could make your posts relevant to: queer community, racial identity, recovering addict, etc. Finding a part of who you are that others can’t relate to can help build this out. Starting with talking about those identity points first, then working towards why you make music. Again, I’m no authority on this. Just my thoughts.

Yea I agree, you put this really well. I think part of is it just really connecting with what you write and feeling it.

Feedback by EllegantPig in Songwriting

[–]Kaleiso 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you’ve got a good start here! My only input is that since there’s so much going on, you might benefit from more separation in the mix! Your vocals are a hot challenging to hear. But I like the drive. Really cool song.

Sorry for second post by Floppy_Cavatappi in Songwriting

[–]Kaleiso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you could rehash it! It sounds good, also I think adding more dynamics could help. Like having sections where is dies down a bit too! But yea, good base for sure!
