"The Fall" - My first complete original song...

Unread post by billywestom » Thu May 01, 2003 11:53 am

I am calling it "The Fall" for now. The melody sounds awfully familiar, but that always happens when I come up with something. Let me know if it sounds familiar and I can work on it. It is very basic, and is still a work in progress. All critiques very welcome. Anyways, peace.

I liked the lyrics on this one, they really fit the chord progression well...and the little lead part was a good tempo and fit really well with the song. With a little vocal practice, this could be a pretty good little song...it sounds like maybe you need to breath when youre singing, or sing a little more from the diaphragm? I dont know, Im no voice coach. The one thing I would advise is getting rid of whatever effect it is you run your stuff through, and leave it clean. It sounds like Im listening to the song underwater with that effect. :) Nice original Billy. I enjoyed it.

good stuff man. i liked the overall feel of the song. i really like the "keep your feet on the ground part." was real nice. the solos were nice too. your voice sounds good but maybe if you sang a bit louder. good stuff.

i have all the tabs to the songs on my comp, but i really do wonder if they could be stolen. i know it is sort of egotistical or narcissistic to believe that someone would even want to take my songs, but i am hesitant. but then again, someone could probably easily just tab it out themselves by listening, so hmmmm
