[SOUNDCLOUD]https://soundcloud.com/earthalliance/the-darkest-hour[/SOUNDCLOUD]


this is an original tune, here are the lyrics:

Will I stay at home  /  Will I be alone, tonight
Your so hot  /  Will the guys just start to drool
did I pick a fight  /  Will it be do or die again
Will you come back   /  To me to me
Will you bring your best  /  Will you say to thems goodbye
Its alright  /  To be yourself I swear
Its not alright /  To dump and front all night
Spending time  /  with me, with me
When times get tough /  will you be there for me
Ive been there for you  /  Im the shoulder you leaned on
Where were you  /  promises you swore
Now I need a shoulder to lean on, lean on
In my darkest hour whoa, will you find me///// In the darkest hour whoa, we feel so free
In your darkest hour whoa, you find me  //////  In the darkest hour whoa, we feel so free

Found this check from about 7:19 as it shows a guitar factory that could be Kawai or the Matsumoku factories, just thought it was interesting.

everdrone

Just now I recorded Paranoid, by Black Sabbath:


everdrone

gotta keep this thread alive lol  ;D

any comments or constructive criticism is much appreciated,

I might be my own worst critic and I put my comments below.  Here is my cover of Stone Temple Pilots "Creep":

GOOD STUFF:

-I equalized and mixed in the singing so it is not super on top of the mix, but still vocals are loud as I am trying to improve them
-pitchiness is a little better, that will come with time
-no hoarseness or pain from the distortion, and I did the full advanced third level 3 KTVA warmup just prior to this song
-I only worked on this song one day prior, pretty good
-mouth open "Ah" sound was very open for the distortion parts

STUFF I NEED TO WORK ON:
-maybe more open throat technique
-I saw my shoulders move some, I get carried away.  I have a static 3/4 full chest but I want more, and that detracts and could lead to tenseness
-maybe too much distortion for this cover
-less hitting the consonants for glottal stop would be good.  I do that all the compression that makes the consonants pop out a little more.

jibberish

everdrone, my take is that you are too absorbed in the technique aspects to deliver the song.
even your self diagnosis of this latest round addresses nothing but technical details. what about the song?


you were loosening up on "new sensation".  I was actually smiling thinking if you worked that out, you would have a piece of stage routine that had presence.

overall, you sound like you are being strangled or have gas. not being funny, but there is incredible tension in the delivery. somehow you have to start relaxing and delivering the song vs the mechanics.

I can only think of one suggestion at this point:  what is a song you know and have loved to sing the tune since forever and you don't even have to think about singing it.
dp that song, completely relaxed and forget about the technical stuff. xmas carols is my escape. brainwashed with those my whole life I don't have to worry about the tune or the words, just the delivery.

everdrone

thanks man, great words of wisdom there, I need to take it in and consider it

taking techniques to extremes is not a good thing for sure

thanks so much for the constructive criticism and the listen, I really appreciate it, cheers :-)

jibberish

everdrone, this song kicks ass. if you did all the parts and vocals and the whole arrangement, that was great.
it sounds like the gang all having fun in the bar or something. also, the vocals serve the song. no tension either.
this one would jack the crowd up.
