The End Of Us [I'm Gonna Get Me A Automobile] (*31987) - I do believe it would have been swell with a rap section, but creating a drum track etc. was just beyond my current skills (I have learned since). I chose banjo instead, and I am going to stick with the original crappy guitar recording for now. --- Whatever happens, use it in your music.

I might be a little bit offended if you do not at least listen to *25460, ...just saying. Sorry you had a bad month dude, truthfully. Musically, it was quality tho..
cts 2 months ago

Hey man...just wanted to drop a line to let you know you were on my mind. I dropped the ball on that G-Slade/cts smoothed-out slow jam, but if you're gonna be around for 50/90 we can make that happen. Hope you're doing okay, all things considered...

\m/ Peace...

Thanks for listening to us this month, G! I know it's been a tough one. Hope we kept you entertained.
captainvulpine 3 months ago

I haven't forgotten about you G! I was sick and out of commission for 4 days, and now I'm trying to catch up. Soon, soon.
dannieruby 3 months ago

Thanks for your opinion on Lost Chance.
Indeed, it's a rough demo. But I'm glad you enjoyed the lyrics and the voice, I guess.
And the guitar wasn't downtuned. It was straight out standard tuning.

Thanks again.
XoXo.

Thanks for suggestion on BabyOnceToo you're right - guitar part annoys me too! Added some layers...Hey, dig your tunes, dude - slammin'
nicksypniewski 3 months ago

Thanks for the comment on Cardboard Condos. Yeah, I really need to find someone to sing these things properly. As I told someone yesterday, if I could find a Daltrey for my Townshend, I'd happily never open my mouth again. Thanks again, much appreciated. Oh, and I'll get back to you on that streaming thing...

Hair metal is in your inbox. Rawk!
debs 3 months ago

Yes, quite subtle if I do say so myself.
dasbinky 3 months ago

Doh! Hair metal coming soon. I keep getting distracted by other crap!

Ouch! oops...sorry... [extracts foot from mouth/keyboard] (If I'd listened earlier I might have clicked, but (for various reasons) I've been dodging NSFW songs.)

bitshred 3 months ago

oh yeah, regarding my comment on *25350 , yeah, I have little ones too, so i was kind of putting myself in your place, and I just kind of lost it..... Also could be the caffiene or a chemcial imbalance in me that made me so emotional. Hopefully i can go back and listen to the whole thing sometime, when I'm in a better place...... FAWM on....

timhealy79 3 months ago

hey bro. thanks for the comments. vocals arent my strong point and there also not helped by me not even using a mic (just windows sound recorder). confined to that im afraid for this FAWM. ill listen to your stuff today. ewl. looks like you got some catching up to do though...
davos 3 months ago

Hey man thanks for your really kind words on my song "Chomsky Dub". It really meant a lot to me. Hope your songs are coming along well!!
subjectzero 3 months ago

Re: Big Wide World - I always go line in with my acoustic and then mic it near the bridge as well, recording 2 tracks simultaneously. Then copy/paste panning 2 tracks left and 2 tracks right. I like the sound it gives me but basically all my simple one guitar, one vocal tracks have at least 5 tracks, LOL!
michaelepic 3 months ago

idk how to make music man...that's why I got Emmy nominated Joey Cutless to make beats for me...and he's famous and big time and busy....get my beats on my place in line like everyone else, know what I mean? I've been meaning to send you yeah what too.
dasbinky 3 months ago

FYI, I've got most of a hair metal tune ready to ship to you next time I have an hour in the studio. I'll send you a drum and guitar track, and fill the rest out later. Rawk!

Thank you so much for you kind comment! That just made my day so much brighter. (:
stephenwordsmith 3 months ago

Thank you, as ever, for your comments.

I agree in particular on the use of 'soul'. I think my song was already too far into the realm of tweenage dross to be saved by any other word, though. It also bugs me a little that it's the only real gender-neutral one-syllable synonym for 'person'. One of the other songs is all soul this, soul that. Arghgh.

Thank you!
dragondreams 3 months ago

Hey, G! Are you worked off your feet with collabs?

@airbagtester took a listen to one of my tracks and suggested it would work really well with some G Slade trademark rap.

Might you be interested in helping out an old man?

Hey, thanks for the offer, but I have finished that song and it'll be "wrong" to make it to a rap (:

say, you're like a fawm hero; going around and giving so many comments. thanks.
asdfcag 3 months ago

You've just become my favorite fawmer, lol. Thanks for the THIRD comment, and the vocals were a bit high, but I should note, it's not that their high in the mix, it's just that there wasn't a mix. It was a quick live recording.
oddbod 3 months ago

....is that US chips (aka crisps) or UK chips (aka french fries)?
dlatmcg 3 months ago

Thanks for the comment, and the "no obligation to reciprocate" is appreciated. But I did listen to 'Collagenocide' (how could I resist with a title like that?) and comment anyway, strange etiquette be damned!
lazyafro 3 months ago

Hey man, I've been pretty busy lately but I should hopefully have some time to work on the beat this week, and afterwards I'll send a full track along.
negasi 3 months ago

Yeah yeah! You write the beat and give me times for where my verses are supposed to go and I can do my part
negasi 3 months ago

G! I still eagerly await us finishing our collab! Even if it's kinda cheating for FAWM! I need to get my rap game on yo!
musicsongwriter 3 months ago

No, this was tried and tested, trust me, it doesn't work lol. My poor collaborator waited for months, I'm not making it up, I had over 100 takes, finally I sent to her 2 or 3 of my best ones after which she had to agree with me... Don't try it, it's doomed... Piano Nadia's speed haha!!! Honestly, this is the case. Listen to any of my pieces and you'll see/hear what I mean...
davidkav 3 months ago

Thanks for the comments/compliments on my page. I really appreciate that! In regards to "Warm Delight," if you click on the Music player on the top, you should be able to skip over to other tracks. I believe "Warm Delight" is either the second or the third track on the site/player. If not, click on Music and scroll down. You'll find it listed there. Wish there was a better way to do this at this time, ya know?
roydesmet 3 months ago

Thanks for your feedback at my song 'You Dance While I Serenade You'.
I've edited it. Is it better now?
musicsongwriter 3 months ago

Thank you very much, I really liked your idea, gives you more chance to see the comments coming naturally. Have fun and let me know when you feel like collaborating. Please bear in mind that
I record mainly on acoustic piano
My tempo varies lol
Best thing is for me to send you a recording for you to add what you feel like - vocals, other instruments.
If this is okay that will be cool. Sorry for the limitations. I only have piano, audacity, mic and my love for music. No fancy software, no cool effects...
And I don't sing, well I do but you don't want to hear it!!!
asdfcag 3 months ago

Thanks again sir. I see you've got a song up now too, so I will be repaying the favor weather you tell me not to in your bio or not.
musicsongwriter 3 months ago

Hi D, thank you very much for your beautiful comment on my music. I'll be delighted to collaborate with you. G, I've used on my page your note on commenting:
"If you ended up back here because I commented on your song, please do not feel obliged to reciprocate. Just because I like your music, that does mean you have to like mine. Feel free to like it; but don't feel obliged to comment on songs you don't like because of some strange etiquette." If you don't like it that I was using it please kindly let me know and I'll delete it.
Have a nice week

You mentioned the success EQ. Is this a program for computer by any chance?

I have very little money, so investing in an EQ might not be possible.

(And don't worry - next song will have less distortion. )

Thanks for the great comment on Love! Not sure what to add to the song, I find it "finished" - but hey - if you have any ideas feel free to add your touch to it.

See You In The Shadows…

Hey G...do us all a favor, and go eff ya'seff in the urethra!

juravial 3 months ago

Hey G Slade, I considered changing the title for that exact reason. But there's also the draw of "there's no way someone would write a song just about that movie" and they'd have to listen and make sure. Cheers!

Thanks for the comment on my song. Skynyrd might have had more influence on a lot of my songs than I realize. lol
timmyriordan 3 months ago

Re: Judas Sestina: It's ok, apparently everyone's ignorant on the subject matter, apparently the Bible don't have all that much to say on Judas ('cept for the betrayal and all. Thanks for the comment and tonight there should be at least one happy song up I've written... though it SOUND kind of sad ; )

I was especially a bit 'concerned' about my pronunciation.
But I guess I have to ask a Brit for that for the most useful feedback on that.
Considering that I'm trying to sound Brittish.

roydesmet 3 months ago

Thanks for your kind words to my 'Nocturne'.
I've just uploaded another song which is a piece of poetry put over some music, both written by myself.
You being a native English speaker, I'd like to hear what you think of it.

I just discovered that people don't get @messages, so I'm moving my comment here. If you read it already, disregard me now.

Thanks for the comment! I'll admit, the riff is stupidly fun to play. And I miss FAWMSTARS.

"dang" is exactly the reaction I was looking for in that one.
Keep me posted whenever you have something to record. It'll be fun.

Again, thanks so much, GSlade! I have a lot of reservations about my voice, so reassurance is always nice. I would LOVE to sing on one of your tracks. I'm pretty limited technologically (I use garage band), but I do have a nearby friend with Pro-Tools whom I could probably convince to hook me up if necessary.

Hey thanks for all the comments man. I appreciate you popping by. BTW I hadn't noticed that mistake thanks. It has been corrected.

I have an example of the track I was working on (not the finished product yet)... can I send it to your email? Then give it a listen and let me know if you're still in
timmyriordan 3 months ago

Thanks for the outpouring of feedback. Looking forward to hearing what you post when you get to it. & thanks for saying "Brand New Shoes" would have fit the credits of "The Wrestler," that's high praise in my book--still I think Springstein did an ok job. Ok, I'm off to take some Prozac and write a happier song or two.

George, I hereby form a New Years resolution, to post lyrics for all new songs. I also resolve never to impede the flow of the Mississippi, and that the War of 1812 shall forever remain firmly in the past. I should be able to keep one or two of those resolutions, I think!
