Members baron85 Posted March 22, 2006 Members Share Posted March 22, 2006 Lavish praise or withering criticism welcome. Or somewhere in between. Actually, just tell me what you think. This is the first song I've ever recorded, so I'd like to know what people other than me think of it. Go here and click on My Sweet Delilah.

Members orourke Posted March 22, 2006 Members Share Posted March 22, 2006 What I liked about it was the soulful feel and the lo-fi acoustic recording. It had a nice Stone-y melody without being too derivative, and I like the slide acoustic part. It kind of transported me to some country shack. What I didn't like was the "was it you" question asked over and over, it just kind of bugged me. And it seemed waaay to long for such a simple tune.

Members baron85 Posted March 22, 2006 Author Members Share Posted March 22, 2006 The lo-fi recording was not intentional, but it does lead a certain authenticity to the song. As for the "Is it you" thing, I'll have to go back and look at that . . . do you feel that if the song was shorter, that vocal line would not be quite as annoying? Thanks, btw.

Members joelbah Posted March 28, 2006 Members Share Posted March 28, 2006 I am having trouble making out the lyrics...mainly because of my speakers I think...can you post them?...Overall I think it is awesome. I am totally digging the bouncy guitar beat. I also agree that the lo-fi-ness adds to the song. If you ever got it recorded professionally I would stick with that lo-fi feel but just clean it up a bit. Also I agree that it is a bit long for such a simple tune. You could shorten it up bit by cutting some choruses in half or something. I don't know, I'd have to listen to it again. Anyway, seriously man, I like it a lot. I'd go see you live. Have anymore stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect a lot of the reason that the 'Is it you' line stands out is that you have a whistling sound (sibiliance) with the 'S'.. Might be worth recording it again but getting your vocal closer to the mic, or find someone that has a couple of figure of 8 mic's so they can record both guitar and vox at the same time effectively..
