Re: what do you think of my song?

hey dlc

i've been in this business for more years than i care to remember (not that i'm giving my age away)  i'm currently working with some top uk and us acts so i know what i'm talking about.

i think your first song would appreciate being broken up with a line of humming (hmmm) between every fourth line.

write it out for me again but including the humming and see if it hits me in a different way.

lets speak again after you've done this

rah rah

Re: what do you think of my song?

thanks for the advice but im confused as to which song you mean.you said my 1st song which is "i'll be with those angels" but you replied under this song "far and wide"?


i went back through both songs and i can see it working with far and wide as it's a country song but some of the hmmms would need to become ohhhs in some places or it just sounds cheesy. if you meant for the other song it just would not work as the pattern doesnt fit.theres not enough break or instrumental to ad lib as each line flows into the other and if i ad lib and break it up i would need to cut some lyrics as the song would be far too long.this is because i wanted to be awkward really.it doesnt help that the chords are not over the right words so when playig it the flow of the song is lost to those who dont know it. im trying to work out how to put the basic recording i done using the computer onto somewhere so people can her it.i recorded onto my laptop which saved it in my docs and i dont know how/where to send it to or even if i am able to do that.


           

[D] CLOSE YOUR [A] EYES

     

AND [Em] SLEEP IN MY [A] SHADOW


[D] LAY YOUR [A] HEAD


ON WHAT USED TO [Em] BE MY [A] PILLOW


THE [D] STARS WILL SHINE AND THE [A] MOON TOO


AND ILL [Em] BE WITH THOSE ANGELS LOOKING [A] DOWN ON YOU


(CHORUS AS IT WAS-EACH CHORD FOR A WHOLE LINE I START SINGING THE NEXT LINE JUST BEFORE CHANGING TO THE NEXT CHORD IF THAT MAKES SENSE)



IM YOUR [D] TWINKLE TWINKLE [A] LITTLE STAR


AND YOULL [Em] SAY HOW I WONDER [A] WHERE YOU ARE


AND ILL SAY [D] IM UP ABOVE THE WORLD [A] SO HIGH


LIKE [Em] ALL OTHER ANGELS [A] IN THE SKY


This is how the chords are meant be played.

Thanks for you advice.

Re: what do you think of my song?

hi dlc

thanks for replying.

yes it was the 'far and wide' song i was referring to, sorry for the mix up. i'd looked at both!

ohhhs could work if added occasionally but i just think hmmms would make it so much more original and stand out from all those run of the mill artists.

try it out, let me know how it hits.

it's your number babe and you've got to like it, but i really think you could have something special there.

get it written up and post it again, i cant wait to feast my eyes on it.

catch ya
