CheersCaseyoops, I was gonna jump right in, but then I realized you only want to review the work of *strangers*. I am strange, but not that strange. Gotta dash cause I'm supposed to be singing somewhere tonight Nice of you to offer your time, Casey

I really can't remember who commented on my songs. Well. I can think of a few

Quote:You should post more Jeffe. Based on what I heard from our experiment, you've got a lot of good ideas and a voice with a lot of character. Very nice of you to say so. I took a demo to the Institute of Music Technology (big bods in the UK), and they shocked me by saying that my voice was marketable and I should release my own album!!They compared me to a band called "Cast".So it looks like I'll be releasing an album in several months.The main area of my expertise is on the vocal and lyrical side.Not the technical ability of the voice, but the tonality and expression (which is what grabs most listeners).We'll have to do some more bits together. Perhaps I can do some backing and harmonies for you to give that different vocal tone in the background.

HeyJust want to bring it back to the reason for the thread... Jeffe: I really don't recall ever reviewing one of your songs so if you'd like a review, please post lyrics and music...Vikki: If you have something with lyrics and music (I prefer songs to just music) and I haven't heard it, please post it...Any newbies out there? Limited offer this weekend while I am here by my lonesome... Casey

Hey Casey,You've given me lots of good input in the past--- thought I might pick your brain (and others too) on something still very much on the drawing board.Here's the story -- Ponch and I have formed a solid collaboration team with 2 goals. 1- to produce a variety of music for placements (I haven't really been pursuing that whole heartedly yet, but that will soon change- it's time).2- producing a concept album/project as a duo, Karma Suit. We're targeting the AAA market with a lean toward indie alternative. The last two song demos produced (Anywhere and Between Up and Down) are the lighter side of that target. The "sound" we're going for is something like the Fray or Snow Patrol meets the Flaming Lips, Radiohead, and the new My Chemical Romance stuff. A touch of retro, a little industrial, quirky somewhat theatrical elements...All that to say, the album is being written around a theme which will intertwine and connect the songs in a somewhat ambiguous storyline--- More like a Falkner run on stream of consciousness sentence than a detailed plot... if that makes any sense.Here's the title song -- raw first draft, scratch piano and vocals only. Imagine the final production like Bohemian Rhapsody meets the Lips Yeah Yeah Yeah song.As of yet, there have been no rewrites or serious arranging-- I thought it might be interesting to get some feedback on something raw and unproduced.The Maze (Scratch 1) Lyrics:Am I awake or am I sleepingIt's hard to tell the difference anymoreI was counting sheepbut now I think they're plotting things against meThey're coming to take me awayThey're coming to take me... away from myselfWhen I was a little boyI misplaced my favorite toyCouldn't find the nerve to look under my bedNow they say I am a manbut I still can't find the planHiding somewhere in these mazes in my headThey're coming to take me awayThey're coming to take me awayClosed my eyes on the roller coaster ridebut the gravity of the situationExceeded all my expectationsRan to the fun house to ease my mindSomewhere in the smoke and mirrorsI got lost and could not clearlySee the way out anymore (he's just a sheep who's lost his way)Somebody please show me the door (he's just a creep who really should be locked away)They're coming to take me awayThey're coming to take me... away from myselfLiving here inside the mazeEvery turn is just a phaseTo go through until you finally reach the dead endAnd they come and take you awayWasn't he a good boyAlways ate his vegetablesWasn't he a nice manDoesn't he look naturalWe can hardly bear to stand here in the buffet lineI will not go quietlyI'm not gonna lay down and dieGo ahead take your best shot at meI'll leave you in a dazeIf you try to find me here in the mazeAm I awake or am I sleepingThey're coming to take me awayThey're coming to take me... away from myself

Hey Casey! Can you please review Away From Here? Here are the lyrics:Why do I still worry,When will I see clear,Questions with no answers,All because of fear,Let me touch what`s mine again,I need something to hold,Until we stop this fighting,You know my passion won`t grow cold.So take me away from here,Take me where I can feel your love.I can`t break this silence,I just can`t break free,With two of me deep down inside,I dont know who to be,Everyday I live in hope,N` it`s hard but I`m trying,I never feel the way I look,You know my eyes are dry but I`m crying.ChorusEnd adlib: Away from here, Away from hereI know the bass sounds pretty bad and I will be changing the mix in different parts when I redo it but all criticism is welcome!Thanks Casey,Colm.
