Re: Am I Asking Too Much? (pop/rock)
i'm really hearing a female doing this...and in tunethe chorus needs a bit more lift, but some of that might be the key it's in.i can hear clarkson doing a tune like this...i'd simplify some of the verse lyrics a bit. i don't tell folks what i mean anymore, they get pissed!like the song, great potential, lift the chorus, and in the verse's IMHO try to keep the same tenses...easier to understand and flow...the best,wh

Yeah, nice tune Scott! I'd like to hear a beefier bass and obviously a smoking female vocalist is the key. Good luck with it, re-post when you get it sung, would love to hear how it turns out. eo.

Re-recorded the vocal (still me - sorry about that Chief!) with some changes (lyric / melody / music).Thinking of getting a Pro-Critique done here at TAXI for the learning experience, but I want to iron out any obvious blunders first.Go nuts!Cheers,Scott

Re: Am I Asking Too Much? (pop/rock) **update
Hey Scott, this is cool & I think with the female vox will be just what you're shooting for. Be sure when you work on the final that you get some bass/low-end going, that's the only thing that really stuck out to me.

Hey Scott, I think for the genre there is a serious lack of kick drum here. The tone on the bass doesn't have a lot of low-end so a big fat kick is what you need to get this happening.
