Topic: As One

OK, this is my first post of a song up here, so I hope this formats okay. The song is basically a love song, but because I'm influenced heavily by rock, I play it as a power ballard. It was written with both electric and acoustic guitar, and I feel quite confident it comes across well using both instruments.

There is an intro, a small rythum section in the middle, and an outro, but I didn't put that up as I didn't feel it neccesary. I play the song with mellow, half-time verses, and up-beat choruses - no distortion. The vocals in brackets in the chorus is backing vocals only...

Feel free to play it if you want, but I'd also appreciate feedback on the song structure, chord flow, does it go well together (chords/lyrics), etc. Good or bad feedback is appreciated. I'm a fiction author in addition to dabbling in music, so I can take criticism.

But please, I have my own style and feel to this song, so I'd rather no one recorded it and put it up on chordie's myspace site.

Cheers, thanks for having a look, (and a play for those that do) and I look forward to any feedback on this, my first song on chordie.

Re: As One

Hi dylan
Being a fingerpicking style Acoustic kinda player I nearly always look at a song in those terms.
The chord progressions I felt where nice and easy and fitted the lyrics well.
Nice one.

Re: As One

Dylan this is very good stuff. I like the lyrics, the mix of chords and the bridge. Well done.

Re: As One

Beautifully said, Dylan!  I would very much like to hear this one.

Do you have recording equipment?  If not, take the plunge - it is great fun.  James

Re: As One

Thanks Jets, arkady, and James,

I'm glad you guys like the song. I don't have recording equipment James, but I am desperate to get some. I'm sure it is great fun, and I'd really like to hear the songs that are in my head actually coming out of the speakers.

While we're on the subject, can I ask what are the best products to get for this stuff? I was thinking along the lines of a 6/8 track machine, with built in drum machine, enough RAM, and a built-in CD burner. I'm sure they exsist but I have no idea what's best for a decent price. I need to get a bass guiatr too before I really get into this side of things so I can't spend a fortune on an elaborate set-up.

Thanks again for the comments.

Dylan.
