Hey :) Looking for Opinions on a song I wrote!

Hey guys,

It's really hard to get exposure when you're just starting out but I recently experimented with uploading an original song we wrote and recorded to youtube, please give it a listen, every view counts!!

I would love to hear some honest opinions!

It's only a CLIP so it fades in and out so give it a chance ;)

Obviously it won't be to everybody's tastes, it's kind of acoustic/rock with female vocals but I am sure people can appreciate different styles of music!

If you read the description it will all make more sense!

Really appreciate it thanks!

So, last post before this was 21 months ago, and 60 posts in 5 years. Hardly a prolific contributor to the forums.

And you didn't consider asking before pimping your YouTube video? I have banned people for less.

However, it is your first upload, and the music business is hard to break into, so exceptionally Iwill let this post stand and let the HEXUS majority view it as they wish.

First of all I appreciate what you are saying and meant no offence.

I have been rarely able to keep up with hardware and certainly not hardware forums for many years now so sporadic at best is the only way to describe my presence here lol

However, I say again, I see what you are saying and it's much appreciated - I owe you one.

Do you like it by the way? lol (curious!) I will take no offence if you hate it haha

Had a quick listen........the female singer's voice is too sickly sweet for the lyrics so it sounds quite bland.........need a more powerful voice IMHO to pull that off !.

I agree with Dingo, vocals need more power and at times it seemed like the percussion was taking the front line and the vocals were supporting the percussion instead of working the other way around.

Evanescence, the telly tubby years. Sickly sweet and sadly too generic.

Very much appreciate the honest opinions, thank you!

I think the vocals were nice. I don't know exactly what people mean by "they need more power"? I quite like the production too. Things seemed to sit nicely in all directions. That said, this is not really my kind of music, but, just trying to be objective here :)

And, KeyboardDemon, I'm just curious as to why you think the vocals should always feel as if they're leading? Is that just your feeling with this song, or is that a general feeling you have with songs? It's not all about the vocals, unless the people making the music want it to be. To some people, they're just part of the music, rather than the main focus of it ;)

Got no problems with the vocals.

I liked it and wish you all the best.

Hey really impressed with this reply mate it shows your very open minded and also able to think objectively and appreciate stuff which is not even to your tastes, that tells me a lot about you. Tastes vary and all opinions are very welcome and appreciated. Thanks very much! I for one think we have plenty of super powered ear bashing voices around and I like something a little different and melodic and easy on the ears ;) it's ALL taste and opinion!


And thanks very much vicar very much appreciated!

Wow, that's a pretty good voice you have. However I do think your voice sounds a little bit soft for the genre, I think it would fit more to mellow or whatever Taylor Swift's genre is. My own opinion hehe. But really, you have a very wonderful voice.
