Quote:Some of you who know me a while may have heard a rock song of mine called Frankly Scarlet. It was originally written quite differently, as a folk rock song, a bit Dylan-esque... The conversion to rock came out of a later collaboration.There is still something about the folk rock version that pulls me back to it, although I would fix a few lyric lines if I re-did it. What do you think of it? Honest feedback... The recording mix is a little on the bass-y side... Vocal by friend Mick C... http://www.broadjam.com/transmit/transm ... sq=1Thanks! CaseyFeels like sometimes the lyric lines are rushed (be nice to see them). I REALLY like the melody, and I REALLY like the hook. Not sure if the demo does the song justice. The bridge seems to change into another genre a la the Beatles, I'd drop it or make it instrumental or rewrite it to make it more 'rock'. I don't recommend a fade out at the end, even if it's in the style you're shooting for, as film/tv likes solid endings.My advice is to decide what era/genre you are shooting for and produce this for film/tv.Personally, I'd like to hear more of a rock treatment. Heavy rock.Hummin'bird

It's got possibilities and Bird's right, this demo doesn't do it justice. While your singer is good at enunciation, I'd try using one who's got a flare for phrasing since the lyrics sorta demand that.I really like the guitar intro. If you can lose the accordian (or the harmonica, whichever it is), it'd be cool. I agree about the bridge.
