Sands - (original)

this is the first song i've ever written.i just started writing this a day or two ago so it's pretty rough. the high part needs some work and the second part is going to be changed a bit. let me know your thoughts.

lyrics are:

sand rains down
all over me
fills up my lungs
until i can't breathe

wears me down
wears me out

under all this, i plead

dude, I'd love to hear it, but I'm not on a computer that can download it right now. so when my internet comes up, i promise to check it out. I just wanted to top this and say kudos for the way you wrote minnesowtah. i'm here w/ some northerners now and i make fun of the way they talk all of the time :)

Not bad, for some reason it had kind of a Led Zepplin feel to me.

i think i'm going to get a cello included on the intro and maybe outro. hopefully i'll be in the studio next week to record it. which should sound much better than one take on my computer mic.

the song sounds good, but i think you really need to work on the beat...it's off at times. but i like your voice, it's really good. and the song itself is pretty good too. So my only advice is to work on the rhythm.

First off, I disagree about the rythm. It may be off, but it adds character like that. You are playing at your own pace. I think it sounds wonderful.


Again, my favorite part is the "underr all thiiisss, i pleeeaaaddd". I love this. This would be the perfect time for the cello to come in, and remain for the rest of the song. Like you said earlier, you should probably and another verse or something. I think this is a very nice piece you have here. :)

I hear radio head when I hear this. Very cool. your voice is very light and airy (in a good way) and it gives this song an eerie sort of feel. Again, very cool.

This is really good. Not much to critique. I'm hoping you'll post a polished version so I can throw it on my play-list.
