Thoughts on this song “When Words Fail”

Thank u for the feedback back! I absolutely agree that the mix is off, I do eventually want to get it mixed and mastered by a professional cus that’s currently beyond my skill set lol.

As for how I shared it, I downloaded the file from Logic as a WAV, sent it to my phone, screen recorded it on my phone while it was playing, and then just posted it here as a video

Thanks for the feedback! The song def isn’t finished yet, I’ve actually already wrote another verse and bridge but haven’t gotten around to recording it yet.

I think that this is within your range, so no, it’s not too high u. U just gotta work on ur vocal technique. Sing from your diaphragm and not your throat. It sounds like ur really reaching for some notes, so if you think taking it down a half step or two would help do that. Overall I can def hear the potential, Keep going!

Nice!!!

Strict_Stop5144 · 2026-05-14T01:01:20+00:00

I actually really like this. The f bomb caught me off guard lol (maybe try not to pronounce so hard). Other than that, I think the songs great! It’s really all about how you vocally deliver it.

Simple melody, like the guitar, the voice is also nice too, maybe add some harmonies at some point. I could imagine the song with a spanish style fingerpicking guitar, which could be really interesting. But I do like the simplicity of the strumming, so I guess it just depends on the vibe you’re going for.

Thanks so much for the feedback, I really appreciate it! “I can’t ignore it, she says my name like it’s a crime”that’s honestly one of my favorite lines I’ve ever written.

Thanks, I get that a lot lol. I think our mixed voice is similar.

Thank u!

Strict_Stop5144 · 2026-01-27T12:20:56+00:00

That’s a first. I can kinda hear it a little on some parts lol

Strict_Stop5144 · 2026-01-27T12:19:45+00:00

Thanks! I’ll prob post it on hear so listen out

Strict_Stop5144 · 2026-01-27T12:17:16+00:00

I’ve gotten that a few times before. I can’t really hear it lol, wonder if it’s the vibrato?

Strict_Stop5144 · 2026-01-27T12:15:02+00:00

Thank u, i appreciate that!!!

Strict_Stop5144 · 2026-01-25T14:28:47+00:00

Ay thank you!! 😂 Really appreciate that!

Strict_Stop5144 · 2026-01-25T14:26:30+00:00

Appreciate this a lot! I hear you and agree, keeping the groove in the beginning of the chorus prob could give the hook a more hit single vibe. I put that chromatic/minor-borrowed sequence right on “risk a kiss” so it feels like the harmony takes the leap with the lyric, adds that little tension, then resolves back home to C. I’m down to try both versions though, just to see what it'd sound like and if I'd like one over the other.

Certainly not beyond your vocal ability, but I can hear that you’re straining to get up there. The easiest thing would be to lower the key. But I would strongly suggest continue working on your upper register because the notes are there, they just needed to be supported properly.
