How Long Has it Been
So I met another musician buddy on my schizophrenic website. (We both have schizophrenia)
He laid these barebones verses on me...I added a chorus and a few more verses...and made an acoustic little track out of it.
I just played it into my daughter's phone. The guitar is sloppy in parts, so be kind. The song is titled 'How Long Has it Been'.
Any feedback would be cool!

Re: How Long Has it Been
I penned and recorded the tune in less than an hour.
I was kinda 'zoned' when I wrote it...like an out of body experience or something.
It was so bizarre, I've already forgotten the chords I played! lol!

Well it isn't easy to listen past all the production issues... but I think there's a nice song underneath it; not really exceptional, but decent. The chord changes at 0:33 and 1:18 caught my ear; you should turn those into the stuff that takes the song ahead of the pack.

Re: How Long Has it Been
Thanks for the honest feedback, Zaychi.
Yeah...the production is muddy. I just sang and played it into my daughter's phone.
I was just following what i was given. My buddy has a different vision for the track which I think will sound way better than my version.
He wrote the foundation of the song and I added those chord changes you mentioned. I think it's an okay number. It needs some work to make it better, I agree.

Re: How Long Has it Been
This is really nice! It's just a sketch of course, but stylistically I can easily see this being used. Take the time to record a nice clean version with solid guitar performance plus properly mic'd voice and I thin you've got something here.

Re: How Long Has it Been
Thanks Paulie!
I've got another song in the jar I'd like to record with my musician brother when this Covid-19 dies down.
But I'll keep this little track on the back burner and I might revisit it at a later date.

Re: How Long Has it Been
My older musician brother says I'm the reincarnation of Buddy Holly. High praise indeed, which I don't really understand.
I tried to pen this track like Cat Stevens would have...with a dash of John Denver.
But dang my brother can play! I'm going to get him to do the guitar work when I re-record this track. My guitar skills are just too sloppy.
One lady friend told me I sing like Gram Parsons. Another said I sound like Art Garfunkel.
But I just think I sound like me. I've only really had one studio experience in my life, and it went well. Hoping to get into the Studio more in the future.
Thanks for listening1
