https://soundcloud.com/billy900/hear-your-voice

Recorded on: Fostex DMT8
Alesis SR16 Drums
BIAB providing Bass and Keys...
Me on vocals and guitars..



I'd love to hear your voice again,
I want to see your face and hold you close again,
When we've been apart too long - I feel so numb inside,
When you go away I cannot keep away the tide.

I feel you driving here to meet me,
I'm stretching out my mind and hoping that you'll feel me,
I'm not saying that I cannot live without you here,
But I only feel alive when I can have you near me.

Chorus:
I think of all the things I always meant to say.
I wonder if I'll ever have the chance to tell you this someday.

I'm reaching out my hand to touch you now
Realizing that the distance is behind us somehow,
Got a feeling for you that is deeper than my pride,
Now we are together, all my troubles stand aside.

Chorus: 2.
I'm saying all the things I always meant to say.
I'm filled with wonder that you always seem to say you knew that anyway..

Cool song.
The Alesis brings back the 80s in a big way.
The harmony & main vocal levels are at war in a few spots.
Good singing through out.


Cheers

I really liked your vocals on this song. Thanks for posting this. It took me back to the 80's too. My only nit pick would be to add some dynamics so it didn't all sound the same. Maybe some rests and stuff. Nice song.

Rocky,

Yeah, an 80’s feel to this . . . maybe even a 70’s feel . . . but regardless a cool sounding tune—good recording and production. Nice smooth vocals, great bed. Harmonies sound pretty solid to me over the laptop—particularly on that second chorus. Well done!

Kind regards,

Deej

A super produced late 70s to 80'style song.

Really good vocals and harmonies.

Super groove.

Great mix.

Billy,
Neat arrangement & structure and very good vocals. A bit on High frequency of things for my taste, but nevertheless listens very well. Liked it and thank you for sharing.
Misha.

P.S. As far as constructive feedback goes. I am just guessing, are you uploading MP3 to Soundcloud? There seems to be a known issue, when files are less than 24 bit Wav's Soundcloud squashes some qualities of sound. If I am right, try uploading 24bit Wav to SC and compare the two side by side.

"I'd love to hear your voice again" Yep! I read the comments before pushing play, and everyone talking about your strong vocal. Wow, these guys know what they're talking about. Such excellent singing. Range and quality are terrific. I really enjoy the harmony. Whereas I almost always agree with Ray, I hear no fighting among the voices. Very good progression and mix.


Enjoy whatever happens!
