I've just posted my new song up, "Only Friend". I'd love to get some
feedback on what people think of it and how I might improve.
It's not guitar wailing rock, in fact it's the first time I've used
only an acoustic. Also it's the first time I haven't relied on preset
drum patterns.
The song was written by myself and a mate quite a few years back at
university, and I've only just recorded it.
I've had so many good ideas from here before, I hope I'll get the same
again
Cheers Eezar
I don't think your link is working. I got re-directed to the Soundclick home page.

Bollocks sorry about that try this
This is quite nice. I like it a lot. Only a couple of things I would consider. I believe it would benefit from another verse before the instrumental. I feel the instrumental came on a little too fast. Maybe also repeating the instrumental at the end of the song and then tagging on what you now have as the “outro†to it to extend the length. 2min 13sec was a little short I think for this song, and think it has a great Pink Floyd feel to it and would benefit to be extended. Other than that I would say it is a great song. Best of luck to you.
Blessings.

Are you using a phaser or stereo flanger on that acoustic guitar? Personally I would stay away from a phaser and just double the track with a very short delay. Say around 50ms. You could even just add a little room reverb. It just doesn't sound all that natural to my ears, nor does it sound effected enough to add atmosphere. The synth sound wan't all that appealling. The song itself didn't turn my crank but that's just personal taste. As far as the song structure and length, well that is a matter of artistic perspective. I don't think there is anything wrong with the length or structure whatsoever. There are some great songs that are very short. Think Randy Rhoads' Dee, Kiss' Beth. Nothing wrong with short songs. Many times leaving them wanting more is what makes a song great. Just my opinion. :peace:
Everyone, Thanks for the comments I really appreciate that.
hueseph, I used a slight bit of chorus on the acoustic and panned it with a narrow stereo sweep.
Thanks again
I cannot give you any technical advice, but I must say that I like that one quite a bit. Good work. :D
A little more polish, and you're a star! Seriously, I REALLY like that. :)
I say and write what I'm thinking, then wish I hadnt.
My only redeeming feature is that I'm honest.
I thought the song was was very nice to my ears, a bit short but there is somthing to be said for " leaving them wanting more" :D The structure works for me. also you have good voice IMHO --the dog
Wow!, Thanks for the comments. I didn't really expect that. Glad you like the song. Yeah, I need to polish it up but if people like it, well I have the motivation to go back and do it properly.
Thanks again. I'm new to songwriting, I only have 5 songs at the moment so without sounding like a dumb bawling oscar winner, I really appreciate your input.
smokindog I'll listen to your stuff now. If you want any feedback I'll be happy to give you my opinion for what it's worth
cheers Eezar
