Shine

Posted: Sun Aug 10, 2008 7:00 am

Hi guys/girls,

I composed the song Shine for my band a while ago. We wrote lyrics, arranged it, recorded, mixed and mastered the song in 18 hours. So it's a bit rough.

Any tips, comments or advice?

I'm writing this as I listen to your song.
50 seconds in the percussion has kicked in and I'm totally in a state to listen.

Now that I'm listening to the song I would like to ask about this quote I found on your soundclick page.

"Do you play live?
Not yet, we are still making our way to that level. For now, our main goal is to create and record some ground breaking hit tunes. "

I would just like to say, don't we all.

I'm listening and I can tell you are recording with way less than ideal circumstances but the content is good enough that I don't care much.
It feels like two songs, one where the drummer and bassists are rocking along and another where the other instrument and the vocalist are rocking on.
It's got a mood which carries through the song, it just finished then, which is complete and well rounded but it's too long for pop and what you're aiming at. Cut it in half.

You guys have skills and good idea to make music, keep doing it and I will keep listening.

Rock on.

Thanks for such a nice reply. Always good to get some critics! But there is no way that we will cut the song in half, it would be like cutting your own arm off! Wink

We are actually recording another one at the moment. It will probably be ready in early next week! I'll post it both here and to soundclick.
