I recorded my first song!
I haven’t found a way to get it on Youtube yet, but here is a link to my bandcamp page. You can totally listen to it for free by just clicking the play button. I’m not trying to get sales or anything, just feedback. Thanks!

Wow. Even recorded in a studio. My feedback includes this background. The average song is about 3 minutes long. Some say this originated because that was the length of a 45 (and 78) record so radio programming was built around that length. As technology changed with Compact Disk and beyond, most songs still stay in the 3-4 minute range. (There are exceptions of course. Jimi Hendrix and Dylan had 20 minute songs, but they got limited play.) Your song is a little over 5 minutes. That said it is way better than anything I could do record. You and your friends are to be congratulated. Thanks.

Thanks, man. I was a little concerned about the length too, but I had worked on it so long and had so much I wanted to include, I indulged a little bit. When I was working out a lead part, I didn’t want to cut it out. The outro is probably a little long, but we sort of let it go in the studio and I was sort of noodling and the engineer just let it go and liked it enough to keep it. I figured I would indulge myself on this one since it wasn’t going to ever be on a radio or anything as sort of a celebration for actually getting it recorded. I appreciate your feedback and thanks for listening! And don’t count yourself short. You could totally record a song, and I know it would be awesome.

Very well done! The lyrics can strike a chord for any of us at some point in our lives. Your vocals remind me of someone, but I can’t put a name to it. Way to go!

Travis– Really enjoyed that song. It has sort of a “happy” sound, with the nice harmonies. Fun to listen to. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for listening! It’s funny because when I play it solo it’s pretty depressing sounding! It’s like a whole different song.
-
I’ll give it another listen, imagining it without the harmonies!
