Stripey Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 Well, musically this track is of little consequence, so ignoring that and focusing on the vocals, we are left with lyrics voiced in a sickly, cloyingly american accent that could potentially make someone physically sick, which express a string of typically uninteresting adolescent cliches. It's dissapointing, sad, pointless trash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camie Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 , which express a string of typically uninteresting adolescent cliches. It's dissapointing, sad, pointless trash.The only cliche I noticed, which is probably the only one you refer to is the myspace comment(no pun intended). Good song, recorded nicely. Was that a mouth organ used towards the end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alkaline Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 It's good recording quality-wise, you can certainly here everything you need to hear.Musically its a cuntload better than anything you've posted up on your myspace before and it lilts along in a nice Bright Eyes/Americana sort of way.I can't stand the main vocals and the lyrics though. They just don't do anything for me. The backround yelps towards the end are good though but fairly cliched and standard in similar songs. To be fair it's not as terrible as i expected it to be, having seen you live and witnessed your 'percussionist' having unbelievable trouble staying in time, it was also a lot tighter than i thought it would be. It is fairly run of the mill for that type of genre.And what's so 'anti'-folk about this? It's just americana-tinged folk to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camie Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 melodica camie.Ah right, I thought there was something different about it. Guess I was right... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Gold Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 Actually, I don't see where Stripey's getting the 'cloyingly American accent' from. Fair enough it's not a 'braw moonlit nicht the nicht', but then it's not exactly Blink 182 either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StewCat Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 I can't stand the main vocals and the lyrics though.lyrics aside how can the vocals be improved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkaline Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 lyrics aside how can the vocals be improved?By getting a new voice?Seriously though, just because i don't like your voice doesn't mean that it's bad. I don't mean your vocal delivery, just your voice. There's nowt wrong with the way you sing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
