Is there a chance to get a forward with this one?ByeMarcin

Greetings Marcin (parle vous Francias?) Cool vibe on your tune, wife's here really liked your voice, production was nice though the drums could be punchier (personal preference). Couple of points.I would consider not having the keyboard line all the way through gets a little distracting and takes away from the tune as a whole.You might consider reworking the last line of the chorus to"We're gonna dig our own graves"Try singing with a slightly quicker cadence, at the moment it seems to drag a bit a that point.I'm working on one for this as well but it's no where near finished (it is I, the King of last minute ) but this one overall sounds good. I would give it a shot.... Geo

HI!Thx for your comments - "wife's here really liked your voice" - give her a hug form me! It's nice to hear such things!What I'm looking for is also a comment on the lyrics... I mean... I listend to the "burning down the house" and I really like the song - but I don't really get it... and sometimes people say they don't get the message of "dig our own graves" too... so MAYBE that's just what they mean with "chaos".. but I'm not sure! I don't want to explain the lyrics right now, because I'd love to hear some "fresh" oppinions. So maybe someone could tell me what the two songs are all about... that would be interesting to know!Thanks a lot!Byemarcin

I listend to the "burning down the house" and I really like the song - but I don't really get it...Talking Heads, gave up on trying to understand them a long time ago, just enjoy .Your song seems to point towards more personal chaos/falling apart so I don't know if it will fit their request. (I hate the NO CRITIQUE ones). If you have time you might want to strengthen the emotional turmoil in the song to get closer to the bullseye. You can of course rework the verses (I think the chorus is fine) for this sub but keep the original as "the version" of the song. Did it before and I'll do it again . Goodluck... GeoP.S. My Singer (and best friend) could have written this song .

I just submitted to this listing as well. I'm singing on the demo, so good Lord help us all, but I think it's a good target for the song anyway. My song is called 'Stumble On" and here's my link: http://www.taximusic.com/hosting/home.p ... id=2572BTW, I can't listen to any other TAXI members links, all I can do is post mine. I wanted to listen to Marcin's song, but no dice. Good luck though, Marcin! Hope we both get a shot at this.Just got permission from my dear friend, Squiddy to submit 'Burbs for this opp as well.....don't wanna leave that out.
