Unread post by firedancer86 » Sun Sep 07, 2003 2:07 am

That was way cool. It had me movin' from the start. It sounds like it could have been a classic seventies rock song...but it was cool cause it didnt remind me of anything in particular. Good music.

Very happy, very groovy tune. I find it so damn hard to write happy tunes, seems like everything I write seems to be all depressing...ahh, pisses me right off..
This is cool! good stuff kid..

hehe, i know what you mean, trippin' about it being damn hard to write happy tunes. they usually turn out jazzy, but that's cool too.

anyway! i liked it a lot fire. as everyone has said, very uptempo and fun, and it does make a person want to smile. glad to hear you've got some lady inspiration, too. ;)

My only complaint is to lay off the low-D sometimes when you are strumming those open chords.. otherwise, that's tight.. and yes, needs some lyrics and I will definitely give it a listen if and when.. btw, did you put chorus on that or is that just the strings pitches wavering from being so loose? :)
