This sounds great Lisa. Good collab!!

Hi Neil, I know what you are talking about. My sister, who just passed away recently, had the issues you mentioned, and it can be hard. Actually IS hard. I'm with you my friend. To many write to impress others instead of expressing themselves truly. We all want to impress, but first we have to learn to express properly, and I know without a doubt that you get that. I always have liked your work. Songstuff is my home of homes, even though I am not here as much as I used to be, this forum, or more correctly "community" has helped me A LOT through the 5 plus years I've been a member.

Hi David, thanks for the listen man. Yes this is def heavily effected. I started this when I was just learning my new DAW, and was trying to find the "mood" of my vocal for the tune. It was a crude audition clip I used to get the idea across, and get the musician to let me use his music. As I listen now, I'm lucky he let me The new and the finished version will be much better (I hope) and sound less "canned". I hope to have the (entire) redone vocal completed in the next couple months, and would very much like your input. The music cannot be changed, as there will be no more takes or changes to it, so I may ask for help from some of you guys for honing it in EQ wise. Be back around the forum within a week or two, I've got home biz goin on. Thanks again David

Hi Ken. I'm glad I checked out my forum folder in my email and saw you posted. I appreciate your reply and compliment. It's because of my deep voice that I have a hard time finding a tune that fits it. Most of the finished tunes I come in contact with, are in a key that I can't reach or sing to, so finding one that 1st off, sounds good, and 2nd, is in the right key, and 3rd, that I can come up with lyrics for, makes a short list of songs for me to try to work out. Wishing a great 2017 for you as well man!!

This is something I started, but tucked away for awhile as I worked on the rest of the lyric. It got lost in the shuffle of my many projects and I'm now revisiting. I could use thoughts on the vocal (does it suck, does my vocal melody work?) and I could use tips on how to make it better if you think it's worth the time. I'm not very confident when it comes to my vocals, but I'm not afraid of being told it doesn't work, when it doesn't work. I usually stick to gritty blues vocals, but am experimenting and practicing other vocal styles. https://app.box.com/s/40i5vxoz3216vjnewm37rgpacy7ip3rr She is a Jezebel, a Delilah as well she tempted me and I gave in to her Her body's sculpted art, long hair; like silk and dark but it's her gaze that held her allure I have succumbed to her emerald eyes I have been undone, by her emerald eyes

Here's mine....since some of us were talkin about divorce earlier, I went the opposite Opposite blues...that should be a thing Where I Belong Her red lips, take my breath away Her red lips, take my breath away Want to taste her tender kisses for forever and a day Her blue eyes, flutter to my soul Her blue eyes, flutter to my soul She can have it if she wants it right with the heart she stole Her blonde hair, caresses my face Her blonde hair, caresses my face If there ever was a heaven I know this would be the place With her hand, a ring come along With her hand, a ring come along Tonight’s our honeymoon night and it’s time to end this song Oh she’s draggin me away to where I belong @ L.

I'm trying to finish a lyric but I got like a gazzilion grandkids around....bout to get a million more gray hairs too!

I don't suppose a lyric I already put up for critique is allowed?

I am waiting for my pre amp and mic to come in (Links below) and am just dabbling in laying down vocal tracks. Is there a cheap homemade noise baffle I can make that will kelp keep out background noise? http://www.ebay.com/itm/BadAax-CM40-Condenser-Microphone-Studio-Package-/131716883119?hash=item1eaaf022af http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/UMC22

I'll throw this one in while I still can Hypothetically (Vs) Let's say, this woman cheated on her man Let's say, he didn't take it all that well. Let's say, he had walked in on the act Let's say, he beat the other man to hell (Ch) Was he justified; hypothetically speaking? Can you blame the guy; he was caught off guard. Trouble found him that he wasn't seeking. Would you understand; hypothetically speaking? (Vs) What if, that beat up lover was a cop What if, that was never known at the time What if, this involved your best friend What if, it were a problem of mine (Ch) Would you bail me out; hypothetically speaking? Would you sympathize; get me out of there? If I called you, interrupted your sleeping would you come get me; hypothetically speaking? (Bridge) I know it's late, man I hate to wake you up my friend, but if I like your answer, I'm callin a favor in (Ch) Could I count on you; hypothetically speaking? Remember that time I was your alibi? Don't get me wrong; I aint been score keeping but I'm in a bind hypothetically speaking Get the hell to the jail hypothetically speaking © L. James Tanner

I just realized what the rules were for this challenge! I just posted one that would fit the criteria in the lyric section. Can I use that one still for this?
