New Song-Spirit World

Unread post by juineaux » Sat Apr 03, 2004 1:03 pm

Heres a new song of mine. Its written around the title of spirit world(Same song contest website as last time). I wanted to try to do a COW this week, but i couldnt think of anything with this weeks titles for some reason. This song does have a line from my failed attempt at the "Mourning Sun" COW. Tell me what you think-

This song was a little different than what i'm used to hearing from you. It was a little slower and not as aggressive up until the end at least. I thought it was quite good though.
I'll play it first and tell you what it is later.

that definitely was a lot different from most of your stuff. it was a solid song all around, but i didn't find much that was unique in it. the capo on the 11th fret was pretty quirky and different, but the progression was still pretty generic. but your playing and singing was right on, so not much room for complaint

Tom, thanks for posting... I really enjoyed this. I'm having a rough day and it was nice to listen to... just cool to hear new originals.

I liked the guitar sound... I'm gonna have to try the capo on 11.

thanks Matty, I think it might be a good ending track for my CD since its so mellow. And heres the lyrics:

Ive been sick and Ive been tired,
Ive had my good times, but I dont talk about them
On my way out of town I saw devils and angels
talking like old friends, its been a long long year
And the mourning sun has been crying all day,
she has her back out and her checks wont pay
The avenue lights up like stories in the fire,
Ive got my old time religion and Im a liar
The JackKnife poet has been preaching all day,
he says ive been all over town, well yes I have, and I just dont see it anymore

If I wanted love I would have left long ago
If I wanted love I would have left long ago

Cause they are bringing me down
Cause they are bringing me down
Cause they are bringing me down

sounds great! I love your voice. you have a real nice way with the guitar. I kind of last my train of thought with the change at the end. 'bringing me down'.

the chord progression sounds real good. the lyrics in that first stanza are awesome (the meat of the song)

the recoding quality is much better, the guitar and the voice sound pretty evenly distrubuted.

I almost think you could end it on If I wanted to love I would have left long ago. which looking at the lyrics and hearing the song are two completely different meanings. just goes to show you can't judge a book but it's cover.

the song is really, really good. your talented. thanks for sharing.

thanks Katie!!!
Youre right, I think Im gonna end it on:
"If I wanted love I would have left long ago"
Because that end part dosnt seem to really go with the rest of the song-
