Baritone Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 :)This Sunday I will be recording this song I wrote called "Blue Moon" in the studio. This is a video of me a few moment ago singing it. Please critique my singing. Any tips or advice would be great! Also let me know if you think I should get a drummer or just keep it as is. Thanks! "BLUE MOON" Lyrics Beautiful day And here comes his reckoning Every dog has his day So who knows what he did That’s easy to say When its not you on the floor I saw them driving away With the last, of the worst, I ever saw Blue Moon Shot that poor man down Blue Moon Bang! Bang! That can’t be right! To this day I wonder why he was put away Rolling right on though I know they got the right guy Changing lives By killing guys In a van that’s blue So parents said “Hey kids, this aint no home for you†Blue Moon Shot that poor man down Blue Moon Bang! Bang! That can’t be right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronws Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 That was cool. Nicely done lyrics, evoke a mental picture. As for adding instruments, I don't know. A number of other people who have used harmonica, like Neil Young, don't require a lot of drum sound because it would overshadow the rhythm already inherent in the strum of the guitar and the breathing rhythm of the harmonica. If you do some drums on it, do it with the brush sticks, kind of jazzy weight. This ain't no disco, this ain't no rap, this ain't no hip hop. This is folk song art, like Neil Young, but with a better voice than his. And yes, I said that out loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
