original - steam

[katie]

allright boys, lay it into me.

This is a quick recording, working on a new set up with garage band. but figured some of you hadn't heard me sing so I thought I'd put it out there. The song is a bit rushed on this take (which is a bit old). I'm on guitar and vocals at the same time. It was too hard and time consuming for me to do it seperately.

**probably will get rid of this stanza and replace with new verse. I do enjoy it (it's a haiku and all, however I feel it's probably a little two abstract). Ideas on the added verse would be great. As you can see the style is a bit different from story telling it's pretty much submersing oneself in the moment. I don't understand the ideas behind the placement of the chorus and the little nuances that go into make a song. Is it okay for the chorus to also be the last verse or should I intermingle it in further - or does it really matter if it sounds decent (I give this a five on a scale of one to ten) From reading the lyrics and listening to the chord progression one can tell it's pretty simple song. The snakey/steamy part is intentional and I'm learning to love the sound and play on the tree of life, the serpent, etc..

The song is also much slower now:

steam

instantaneous soul spark touch
the souls of love
translucent touch
intertwine

you caught my eye
suspended me in time
it feels like the whole world
could solely exist for that
this timelessness

it's a tear to a flame
flame to a tear
it's called steam

**drip up into you
sacremental interfuse
luminate hearts view

iridescent gleam
rays of a seam
hand unflolds anew
touch the earth - renew

(get it rainbow)

Honestly, i really like your style, your voice, your music. However, I'd love to hear it with a good recording and good mix, but that's minor. I can see you sitting out on the front porch with a bottle of wine singing with your friends.

i agree the recording quality needs an uber boost, but theres something great behind that fuzz and overbass.

you have a great voice. a very good voice... it gets a tid repetitive after a while... maybe a nice breakdown thrown in there?

keep workin and keep postin
