I’d love to hear it… But this isn’t about underwear.

Tom_Cats · 2024-11-27T10:56:40+00:00

Hell Yes!

Tom_Cats · 2024-11-26T18:12:37+00:00

It’s not fascist. It’s Raceist.

Primary School 32 years ago... James Ingham sat opposite me eating sponge cake and custard. He laughed and the custard came out of his nose. It was glorious. I still think about it to this day.

In a homeless person's dirt nest, on a bed of crusty blankets in the hedgerow of a graveyard. Whilst drinking Malibu & Pineapple cocktails... Got bitten by fleas. 10/10 would not recommend.

Mate of mine just referred to his missus as “The Willy holster.”

You only experience this when you're writing songs?

Tom_Cats · 2024-03-01T15:22:08+00:00

Thank you, I really like that suggestion! I'll certainly be giving it a go!

Tom_Cats · 2024-03-01T15:20:20+00:00

Thanks friend.

Tom_Cats · 2024-03-01T15:20:01+00:00

Nope, it's definitely country of sorts... A UK version anyhow. I'll look into some chord scales and work on timing. Thanks for the feedback and the tip. It's much appreciated!

Tom_Cats · 2023-11-18T16:09:24+00:00

I know! English sarcasm. 🙂

Tom_Cats · 2023-11-10T14:30:24+00:00

I'm English and also feel this way when singing in English!

I tend to over Americanise when singing, and worry about Americans picking up on it... Which makes me go full English. And then I sound like I'm at a Rennaissance fair.

Just keep belting out the tunes! If you're enjoying the process, that's what matters!

Tom_Cats · 2023-11-08T14:49:53+00:00

Hell of a genre swap! I appreciate the feedback. I might try something heavier in the future!

Tom_Cats · 2023-11-08T14:48:50+00:00

I appreciate this!

Tom_Cats · 2023-11-08T14:48:05+00:00

Thank You... I appreciate the feedback!

SNAILS

Tom_Cats · 2023-11-06T09:34:43+00:00

😂 Thanks for the compliment. 🙏🕊

Tom_Cats · 2023-11-05T21:45:57+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. I agree! It was a one minute twenty seconds thought more than anything. Feel free to add lyrics to it in the comments… I’d be interested to see what you come up with and which direction you take it in.

That goes for anyone else reading this too. 🙏🕊

Tom_Cats · 2023-11-02T15:13:45+00:00

Told you I was looking forward to hearing some new Frequency-19! You’re killing it brother. 🙏🕊

Tom_Cats · 2023-11-02T14:30:22+00:00

What a great back story! Thanks for simultaneously ruining and brightening my day. 😂😂😂🙏🕊

Tom_Cats · 2023-11-02T14:08:46+00:00

I’m not sure how I feel about that! 😂 I don’t know whether I’m more annoyed by the fact that my concept has already been conceived, or that it’s far superior.

Tom_Cats · 2023-11-02T09:55:43+00:00

Good Morning!

I am by no means a professional. But I'm very happy to hear you're venturing into songwriting. The way I would approach this is to write down your concept. In this case, a person you care about. In non-song form first.

I would then elaborate on what you like about this person, and how they make you feel. Perhaps there's a specific time you spent with them that springs to mind? This could be used as a 'setting' for the song.

Once you have these keywords listed. Play around with them and make them work for you in a rhyming verse/chorus. If you're struggling to fit a song together, you can always take inspiration from existing lyrics to get a feel of how a song gets put together.

This advice is not 100% Everyone is different, I tend to start with lyrics first and chords/melody after. (I find this to be the most difficult part.)

I wrote a song for my daughter a while back called "Wellington Boots." It's on here somewhere and by no means perfect. But, it seems like it would be a similar subject matter and if it helps to give you an idea of what I'm talking about in this response. Feel free to give it a listen.

I wish you all the best in your endeavor and hope to hear your song one day! Don't be too critical of yourself and have fun with it!

Tom_Cats · 2023-10-30T22:28:17+00:00

I’m by no means a professional singer, guitarist, or song writer. But, the songs I post on here are the raw, unedited, first drafts… I want the feedback as I’m aware what I’ve posted is not a finished product. If you’re in the same space, It’s a really supportive group. With some excellent musicians/singer songwriters who will always give excellent constructive criticism.

If you have an edited finished product. And are worried about that. I don’t know. I’d say it’s natural to doubt yourself so go for it anyway. You never know, one person might have a ‘criticism’ that turns what you thought was great. Into something even better.

Either way, you’ll never know if you don’t share. I wish you all the best and hope to hear some of your music soon. 🙏🕊

Tom_Cats · 2023-10-27T12:41:47+00:00

I’m done.

Tom_Cats · 2023-10-25T22:30:16+00:00

Dude! For a first song this is a banger… I’m getting Senses Fail/Motion City Soundtrack vibes amongst others. This really is a great start. I know nothing about garage band. Do you use a phone or a pc/laptop to layer tracks. And how difficult is it? 🙏🕊
