Hi everyone
I like to write and produce music for fun and have decided to upload a few of my songs for your critique as some members do from time to time.
The songs date from newest to oldest with them getting progressively worse. I know it's very hard to do but please try and judge the songs and not the vocalist -- a friend of mine, who was the only person I could find to sing demos but he's not the greatest singer.
Note: When If Not Now Instrumental was written about a year ago when I first started writing songs. It was produced when I was still using garage band and was my (incredibly feeble ;)) attempt at recreating the cherion sound. It does have lyrics and a melody but I deemed those not good enough to bother recording. The chorus melody can be heard playing on a high tinkly thing. I thought you might like to hear it.
Anyway, enough talking. Here they are: http://soundcloud.com/james-jordan
the songs are cool ;)
Hey Jack, that's really good work for one year of songwriting!! My fave is "Stomp" -- I put a timed comment on your Souncloud of a part I especiailly liked. Structure and melodies really good on that, and with a strong singer it'd be great. Only thing not crazy about are lyrics, but that's just my opinion. Also really liked the synth riff and tempo of the fast song (I think the third one on there ("All My Life"?) That's a really catchy start to the song that grabbed me. So great work!!
You have potential
"Stomp" is similar to"Dj Got Us Fallin' In Love" from Usher!
A new Max Martin on the block :D
Very nice!!
I love the start of 'All my life'
the begining of ''all my life'' i agree , it has something great , special and fresh.
Thank you all very much for your encouraging words :D
It's funny that the many people found "All My Life" their favorite. Mine is "Maria"
