Members Mahuska Posted April 20, 2012 Members Share Posted April 20, 2012 Wrote this today, yes a rough draft but it might turn out into be something better than my latest efforts Lyrics:Please relax take off your shoes I have set the tone.If I could just could succeed with this effort We could remember all the love, We have been through so many things all those years When I met you you were entranced with this bandBut when you eyes met mine you became interestedSilly talks, then so many long walksWe became lovers and best friends Please relax take off your shoes I have set the tone.If I could just could succeed with this effort We could remember all the love, We have been through so many things all those years You can ask me trust me yes you canI'll move any obstacleBecause I love you You can ask me trust me yes you canI'll move any obstacleBecause I love you You can ask me trust me yes you canI'll move any obstacleBecause I love you Please relax please relax Please relax Because I love you SC urlhttp://soundcloud.com/mahuska/please-relax-i-love-you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members oldgitplayer Posted April 20, 2012 Members Share Posted April 20, 2012 The title is 'Please Relax' and also the opening line, but there is tension in your voice and some in the music. And the tension in the music builds as the song moves on. So I'm hearing a mismatch between the words and music.The lyric either needs a relaxed musical backing, or you need a different lyric for this music. Let's see what other comments come in.

Members LordBTY Posted April 21, 2012 Members Share Posted April 21, 2012 I think the lyrical idea 'Please relax because I still love you' is lovely and profound. The lyrics are nice but I feel the song needs a bit more of a structure. I'm also with oldgit - the mood doesn't quite fit the lyrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I need to get my pipes in better condition. I really haven't wrote or sang much the past few years and it shows. There for a couple weeks all of a sudden I decided to jump back in as most all of what I shared previouslywas older material. Came up with some stuff I have done the past few weeks and upon reflection see where I need to spend time and more study. I've spent the last couple years riffing out and mainly doing tone checks etc.Thanks for the comments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lyrics are nice but I feel the song needs a bit more of a structure. I'm also with oldgit - the mood doesn't quite fit the lyrics. As I said above I realize that I need to work more on structure and have been visiting Songwriting sites that has me really thinking how to approach things differently. I am working too linear and need to scratch pad these ideas out, take a break and really think this stuff out. Same goes for the lyrics. I think I'll still work on this one, change some things around and sing in a more softer pleasing way.We'll see where this one goes.

Members Mahuska Posted April 26, 2012 Author Members Share Posted April 26, 2012 I really like the sound of the bass! Thanks, I love this Bass. It pays to be on the lookout for good used gear. It is a 80's USA made Peavey Unity Koa neck-thru. $350.00 with HS case SD Active Bassline pups. plugged direct into a GA Pre-73 preamp straight to my Daw's Audio interface.
