Guest DustyDeviada Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 ooooooooooh i wish you didn't sing like americansAh, who cares, almost everybody sings with an accent, exceptions being The Proclaimers and Juliet Turner.Van Morrison is one of the greatest ever singers, but think how crap he would sound if he used a Belfast accent.

Guest Neubeatz Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 I thought that Van has a Belfast accent Dusty , The americans copied him to produce that mid-atlantic drawl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsen B Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Gradually gets better as the song goes on but still bland and inoffensive and sounding like a reject from the One Tree Hill soundtrack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryn Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 I think its gash, the vocals are stiff, robotic almost, and yes, that awful pretend-accent. I'd suggest that just because you've been in bands for years etc doesn't for a second mean you know what you're doing. Your 'reputation' in Aberdeen is probably the only thing deluding people into not actually saying that this is cringy and embarrassing to listen to. I don't know what you want to achieve, but vocals as poor as that will get ya nowhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trinitynscotland Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Thats the way. 8) Music is a personal thing. I personally like the new song and frankly feel that the lyrics, and the sound tie in well and really hit at something deep. I don't think its Americanized (trust me I think I would know that:gringo: )I've heard a lot of music, and each to their own.It would be great if people learned constructive critique, but hey thats the sign of the times. to be honest the general consensus elsewhere on this song is that its gonna be a hit.but that's my honest opinionxxxxits cool' date=' it was never going to be everyones cup of tea now was it?Theres no point in arguing over it tho, i like it, dan likes it and bob likes it and so do other people so that works for me [/quote'] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Milner Posted March 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 even if it is, so what.We listen to a lot of american music its obvious that we would have an american influence in our songs. Personally i have never really heard the american accent, but it may be there it may not, again what does it really matter? Ive listened more to this song and i love it, im really happy to have it as a stayover song and i think dan has done really well getting such a decent recording using a cheap mic and an 8 track.

stuartmaxwell Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 not my cup of tea, but you have a decent song there. the guitar playing/sound and some of the singing is a bit sus good pop song though, would be better live for the vocals.

Hog Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 The song is good. Milners drumming is awesome. The backing vocals suit the song really well, Bob is a bit off with some notes but it doesnt take anything away from the song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bryn Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 why is being "inoffensive" a bad thing?I'd suggest you should think beyond the word!! *gasps of awe*Connotations of 'inoffensive' in musical context - un-trying, un-original, potentially boring (leaving room for a 'good tune'; which this isn't), I could go on..
