Where do all the people go

Unread post by borocks » Thu Dec 29, 2005 12:15 pm

Hi folks

This is my most recent original. It's sort of a ballad. I'd appreciate it if had a listen and tell me what you think. I'm especially interested in what you think about the lyrics (because I'm a non-native speaker), and about the guitar solo and your overall impression.

Thanks a ton!

Cheers, Boris

Dude, I've listened to this 3 times... I like it. For some reason I really like the... well, crescendo toward the end. Sounds good.

Post the lyrics?

Listening now.


Nice little song. I enjoy the chorus the most of the song. Solo wasn't bad.

Overall, good job.

Actually, I like it very much, it's awesome....I've listened to it lots of times...you can't tell that you're not a native English-speaker...I haven't learned all the lyrics yet, but they seem really good as well..excellent song..solo = really nice, and I love the way you added the electric guitar to the last time you sing the refrain...I can't stop listening to this song...

What guitars do you use?

Thanks for the compliment mate, I appreciate that.

For the rhythm track I used my Cort.
For the solo I used my epiphone les paul standard.

Sorry for the delay, but here the are:

Life hurts so badly sometimes
people come and go, their voices die
awaythose who stay remain in silence
staring at the pictures standing on the shelf

Maybe, once again, I’ll hold your hand
Maybe I will come to understand
once that I’m away

Where have all the people gone
that used to be around
Where have all the people gone
leaving an emptiness behind
Where do all the people go? oh yeah

This place has gathered moss since you went
overseas to chase the fortune of your life

Maybe, once again, I’ll hold your hand
Maybe I will come to understand
once that I’m away

Where have all the people gone
that used to be around
Where have all the people gone
leaving an emptiness behind
Where do all the people go? oh yeah

Where do all the people go, all smiling,
on pictures standing on a dusty shelf

Yup, checked out your site and downloaded the video you got there...noticed the epiphone, a friend of mine has the exact same, I like it a lot....good stuff...oh, and your dave covers are all excellent...the link to the #41 solo version doesn't work though...

Also, I just read the lyrics and they're really good...keep it up, and keep posting your stuff ;)

Enjoyed it, always nice to hear an original. Heartfelt songwriting. Sort of a Radiohead/Elliot Smith mix, I thought. The song really grows on you as it progresses and I think your guitar-playing gets crisper as the song progresses as well. The only real complaint I have is that the I felt the solo had too much distortion, comparative to the tone of the rest of the song. Keep up the good work and I also agree that you sing very good English.
-Brian

Be excellent to one another.
