AS THE CROW FLIESHuman nature will eat itself whole...So mark these words as if they were your last...Past weight of the causePathway? The end of flaws....Resolve burns ever moreNo fear from the days beforeSo will i stand? - Will i fall?Here - in the scheme of it allNo betrayal and no compromiseI'l look in the eyes - as the crow fliesPhase 2 - The visions revealedSoleless... plated... - Control cannot existReimagined - Heart concealledSynthetic thought process that you cannot resistSo will i stand? - Will i fall?Here in the scale of it allNo betrayal and no compromiseI'l look in the eyes - as the crow fliesSo.....It's here we laySubdivision - Our cells decayIs this the future? All we leave our kin?Is this the price they pay for all our sin?Tell me is this okay?For future generations to see that day?So..... Will they stand? - Or will they fall?Machined - From specificationPositronic - This brain will not betrayIsolated revision?All emotion burned and hatred stripped awaySo will we stand? - Will we fall?Here in the scheme of it allNo betrayal and no compromiseTo look in the eyes - as the crow flies

my fav lines are - give us the beating heart - a bigger part - hope to try see what we didn't see- break it down - just a formality That my friend is fantastic writting! Keep it up.

Niceeee! - I suppose it can be deemed as an illusion! Another good straight to the point poem that almost everyone can relate to.

Simple and straight to the point! What's not to like huh!

'Please let it go, leave it be, do not dwell on the past' I hear the reasoning so loud - but it never seems to last. When feeling good - it comes with a guilt - i cannot seem to shake. And a consiquence i see from this is the illusion of 'being fake' The feeling of resentment - but not for you - for me. These are the truths inside the mind that not anyone can see. The justified opinions - the way i cleanse my sole. The moral obligation - Im scared of being whole. So here in definition - it's complicated at best. Can i put my heart on sleeve and pass this very test. I hope i can - i'l try my all - to re-make myself - renew. Because for once in this life - i know - i feel - it's true. I know i deserve to be happy - to look at you and feel. Everything but sadness - even when you seem unreal. So please - forgive me and i'l forgive myself - and make the most of today. I make this promise - No more guilt - i throw it all away'

So Glad you liked it guys It's a sore point for me It's written about my feeling's of my brother who passed away when i was young (16) - his name was Allan - and I'm very proud of him!!! At the time of writing i was going through the phase of over taking how old he was when he passed. It was one of the hardest 'transitions' i think I've ever been through - and one where i felt the need to finally get it down into writing. Thanks for taking the time to check it out. And thank you for the comments! Stay safe! Mark.

That's cool dude, some nice metaphors thrown in as well... blowing kisses of eternal promise while gathering up last breaths. - those two just work great.

nice - straight to the point... i like it man.

Nothing left inside chapter 1 For all the good he does in days he cannot seem to take.. Away the cycle of demise he knows will never break. From what once was - to what now is - there only lives the dark. With all his wants - he still resides beyond that very mark. Until the end - he could never seem - to break the void to find. that life was took away from him in tragic lonely times. oh how they laughed upon a man who made himself of stone but what they'l never ever feel has chilled him to the bone the loss that burns so deep inside- he hides his head in shame cause every time he see's himself he thinks 'i feel the same' No one can ever understand his burden from the start No one will ever feel his pain and self made broken heart 'That man now chose his path in life' - that boiled him to the core As everything he gave away - was everything and more His, flesh, his blood and who he was, to desaturate the pain. But that's the choice he had to make - to sacrifice his gain chapter 2 Now he lived among the wolves - a shadow in the times, And though he pushed so hard in life, he knew he'd never find. A day where he could break away and step into the light, Well maybe that's' the price you pay for having shortened sight. The memories he held so dear - now gone and lost in vain. But still the hurt lives on beneath - Does that make him seem insane? His heart is pure throughout it all - but its not enough to make, His sole is stained - 'him' thrown away - and never will it wake. The dreams, all dead but hes ok - he'll soon give back the days. All that he knows he stole from kin - Through self inflicted ways For what a waste to give to him, The very gift of life. As all he feels in every way is cruelty, fault and strife. Chapter 3 For now he says - 'we'l meet again' believing what he can In pure denial in his belief, he wont ever say 'i ran' Now Some would be wrong to assume, this over whelming phrase, 'He still lives on in our memory and in many different ways'. Well you may think - 'oh what is real' - the fundamental line 'could it be as bad as this explains?' won't it heal his pain with time?' I can now tell you what he feels - and why hes still alive, That man is me, the one who lived, and not the one who died. Now i am here for what he lost, i wont ever forget his name. his dreams all which will stay with me - until i cant remain I have nothing left of what i had, there is no face to hide, Only a picture on the wall, there's nothing left inside.

There's a lot of varied material on here to help you dude! Nice to meet ya Mark

totaly agree! i remember a few singers a few years ago used chorus and not a subtle one either... even in metal you have to choose the right key for your voice, i struggled for a few years thinking it was my playing ability or my programming, and i cant say how important that point is! i also think its easier to pick up where your going wrong, to much effect will mask those areas, but to improve you need to hear the errors! me personally - il use a good compressor and a nice reverb. that's about it! I do think to many people auto tune, and to me, id rather hear someone who i know can pull it off live as well! its something for me as a musician to aspire to!

i agree with the above comment! ive heard a lot of bands paying for a service and getting a completely different production to the samples online, now... if contracts were written up properly, then i guess that wouldn't be an issue. like steveA said above, depends on how good you are i guess, there's more and more bedroom studios getting good productions, so i guess youd have to proove your worth! good luck anyway!

Theres a lot of theory goimg on here for a guy whos only been playing 3 months.... Always remember there are two types of players.... ones who know theory and want to learn it and ones who dont.... in my experience most people just want to start playing music.... and the inderstanding comes later......i think the technique is more important at this stage of your playing.... so just learn the basics of playing.... remember to have fun.... most people give up in the first few months because they think they cant do something. Enjoy your playing!

Depends on the quality.... there might be more call for that in a metal/rock genre.... if i found someone to do a pro mastering job with my solo work....id be interested.

I think the services of some pr companies are defo worth looking into.... unless you have the contacts of coarse. In my experience.... you can get great deals with a bit of bargaining and get your music the much needed boost it needs. As with everything...research is the key.... That said there are lots and lots of things you can do at home to improve things.... from making sure u appear in google searches to contacting online radio stations that will play demo tracks. in this case networking is important. Facebook is a valuable tool.. but be aware... no one wants to see unprofessional messages.... spam... and the like. It will result in being ignored.... and valuable contacts not made. I agree with johns post above... with a bit of drive and determination... anythings possible.
