New original Tune (collaboration with a friend)

[Chavie]

This is a tune i did with a friend. He wrote the music.....i just did the singing & lyrics.

There is space after the last chorus for a Guitar solo.. But he hasint got to it yet.

Id love your opinions :)

I did like the song. Your vocals are always great. The music seemed a little empty and static. Maybe either more guitar work or more dynamics with the drums.

I know that it is only my opinion and I should just stick to did the vocals fit the chord progression which they did. But a few drum fills or maybe a walking bass line would make the music flow a little better.

Over all a good song.

I wish I could sing like that... how liberating it must be I can only imagine.

Loved your singing and the song, reminded me of old late 70's rock that

you don't hear anymore.

There is great potential to this collaboration, this music deserves it

And I loved how you increased your twang and went into that DIO-esque sound

What a great song and interpretation Chavie, well done.

Yea i have to admit i felt the backing was a little repetitive.

Kind of forced me to do a lot of Improvising though.

And akarawd, you give me to way too much credit bro lol

I wish i could nail that awesome covered grit sound you get on yoru stuff

Was there a live drummer on this? The beat is slow enough that you need some runs on the toms to flesh it out a little. I am not a drummer so I can not explain any better than that.

Credit given to where it's really due.

I wish I could sing clean and not strain and choke lol

Jokes aside, you are one of the people I'll contact if and when I get the time to start producing again.

Excellent, Chavie, of course. And yes, the arrangement is a rather basic, kind of like a scratch track. Give it the full production, including some of your blistering guitar work, and it will be a heavy metal ballad hit. How much you want to bet? I have a few dollars to spare.
