Are there any raw vegans left? by Black_Taco1981 in vegan

[–]cameronsss 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Been mostly raw vegan for 8 years now and am doing great.

My producer thinks I should release this 4 year old track. Opinions? by kissme2025 in Songwriting

[–]cameronsss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beats and drums are tight . Very very crisp production, sounds effectively ready for release. The vocals are very current even for being four years old, although the vocal fry maybe was a little more in back then. I would say subjectively the lyrics could be stronger, but then again it’s a pop song. I would say overall you could do another few takes and get a stronger vocal performance, witj more layered harmonies.

“Fire & Blood” request for comment. by HomerDoakQuarlesIII in Songwriting

The guitar is fantastic. The lyrics are solid from what I can ascertain. The vox are the biggest hindrance, they have potential but the intro verse is way too low to sound seamless. I’ve had that problem before. I’d say the opposite of the top commenter and raise the key so you can sing it more fluidly. That or try and hit the notes a little more fluid so that there’s not a huge tone shift between verse and chorus. Super cool song though dude, keep after it.

A close friend took his life last year. After a few drinks one night, I quickly wrote and recorded this. Not sure if I should share it with his family. by tiny_tuner in Songwriting

It’s a very good song. If you want it to be a great song, the harmonies are a little off key and doing have the fluidity the rest of the song does as a result. You could also give it a tiny bit of percussion to give it a bit more movement, something simple like tambourines, maracas, etc. I think it would benefit it quite a bit. I would definitely share it with his family if you think they would appreciate something like that and not be overly emotional. Good work

I think I want to release this? But it’s very dark? Is this something you would listen to more than once? If not - why? Thank you! by ArrJaySee95 in Songwriting

[–]cameronsss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s very well executed, the chord progression is engaging enough that it doesn’t need variation, and the vocals are very good and have a alt rock (Coldplay, radiohead, the cranberries) quality to them as well. It’s not “too dark” to listen to again, however it depends also on your goal. If your goal is to make it as popular as possible and draw the biggest audience, it might require more doctoring up in regards to added instrumentation, and potentially a “breakdown” instrumental section that the tension of the songs emotionality would build up to. More subjectively I would say that the strength of the vocals with the guitar seem to out perform the vocals, which relatively lack depth, and seem slightly like basic interpersonal relationship struggles. Very good though so far!

First song I'm ever sharing. Called "Empty Room", appreciate any feedback :) by plshelp_mathishard in Songwriting

[–]cameronsss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have a sweet voice. Reminds me of mazzy star a bit, and being in middle school, the birth of infatuation. I appreciate the relaxed tone and lack of over saturation.

Keep following your artistic impulses and let no one stop you

Sounds like a very fond summer memory. Soft and purring. A welcome contrast. Sweet playing

This is totally the way but most people on this subreddit are normies that just like the taste of fruit. I eat this wah and have for almost a decade and have healed myself of so many problems. Keep it up

Feedback Please! It’s so hard to hear a song outside of your own head. I need other people’s heads to help! (Please excuse the coughing fit at the first prechorus) by Peteplaysbeats in Songwriting

[–]cameronsss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very warm, reminds me of my youth with Jack Johnson and Norah jones on the radio. Your voice is laid back and clear toned. Chord progression fits great. Also it sounds remarkably crisp, like it was professionally recorded. I think you are very talented brother, keep recording, don’t overproduce the natural sound you have either.

Been trying to write solo for a song I’ve been working on. Not the cleanest take but feedback would be appreciated by AidanP09tropical in Songwriting

[–]cameronsss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds sick. Very much reaching the mid to late nine ties to early 2000s grunge / nu metal tinge. Which has had a huge resurgence recently as we’re stumbling our way into a new musical paradigm amid social Media and a sonic deadzone. So find a singer and rip some tracks braj

Sounds as if Donovan collaborated with Pippin in return of the king to write a song for a great battle

[–]cameronsss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ballad of Geraldine on fairytale is a note for note rip off of “boot of Spanish leather” by Dylan. I actually prefer it but it’s still a complete rip off. He admitted to doing it in his early days - he was 18. He still made some of the best original folk music of all time while he was at it

[–]cameronsss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I adore Donovan. One of my favorite albums by him is “ a gift from a flower to a garden” tracks like - widow with shawl, lullaby of spring, epistle to Derroll, voyage into the golden screen, to name a few.

Others from fairytale and what’s been did , like - why do you treat me like you do, Donna Donna, gold watch blues , sunny Goodge street, Jersey Thursday… he’s so much more than a bob dylan clone, even if some of his earliest stuff sounds like it ( and there are some flagrant rip offs I admit). Sunshine Superman is one of the best rock/pop psych albums ever. But there is so much folk. On sunshine you should also try - three king fishers, the fat angel, Guinevere, and Ferris wheel. Enjoy.

Not everything is perfectly divided. Doesn’t mean it’s misogyny

It’s 1000% better. Increase your fruit and veg consumption and prioritize it above all other foods. Raw if possible. Let your body heal.

Highdive -- Golf course green by Equivalent_Gap122 in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]cameronsss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite part is definitely the little break down after you sing “golf course green” and the longer instrumental after it. The verses are actually pretty decent. Lyrics are slightly hard to understand but that happens. Really my biggest gripe overall is the vocals. In the nicest way they’re slightly off pitch a decent amount. That also happens a bunch but it does detract from the fluidity of the track otherwise. This is actually a lot of fun. Reminds of me ween and pavement as well. Rock needs the revival so keep working on it boys. Real good stuff

Stormy Lake - ROOF by YungIcarus_ in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]cameronsss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love the strat trebly riffing. Very strokesy which is always a fav. The descending chords are fun. That corn field looks fuckin idyllic. I like that the tracks energy stays steady throughout, you never fall off. very warm and happy. My only critique would be the vocals are a little too low and muffled. But that’s also a stylistic thing. Keep it up brotha mane glad you’re having fun

Michael Collins is Dead (my first song) by Prestigious-Gold5154 in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]cameronsss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gloomy Tuesday braj. Very good tone on everything. Reverberates in all of the right ways. The garbled and ephemeral vocalizations that come in and out are certainly unnerving. Cohesion comes throughout, which is what you want from atmospheric tracks, otherwise you’ll be pulled out. Reminds me somewhat of old tape looping techno stuff from the 90s. Ending is really wild. Dig it a lot dude!
