Members Marshal Posted April 27, 2011 Members Share Posted April 27, 2011 g-ohhhh, Ohhhh . . . , Lovely. Somehow I wanted to hear you actually call a name. You talk about calling a name. I was expecting to hear one. It makes it a more intimate personal thing. Even if it's a made up name. I've done that a couple times where the names are changed to protect the guilty. Just made up names; to give a lyric more punch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mockchoi Posted April 27, 2011 Members Share Posted April 27, 2011 Very nice vocals. I'm not so sure about the pause in the second 'Only time will change your.........mind again'. I also know it's a scratch drum track, but I didn't particularly like the way the beat you chose works with this song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Marshal Posted April 27, 2011 Members Share Posted April 27, 2011 Very nice vocals. I'm not so sure about the pause in the second 'Only time will change your.........mind again'. . . . , She's channeling Leonard Scaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LCK Posted April 27, 2011 Members Share Posted April 27, 2011 It's good, as usual. I'd just change the tense in the chorus. "I'll make you out of cardboard.I'll stick to you like glue." Also, I wonder if two steps behind is a bit too close? Ten steps maybe? LCK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Oswlek Posted April 27, 2011 Members Share Posted April 27, 2011 I'll echo both suggestions (actually calling the name and changing the tense). Just substitute the name for the dragged out "oh" part of "only time..." As for mixing (sorry Blue), I think the strummed electric would sound better if it started a hair sooner. Try dragging that track forward a 1/4 beat and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members grace_slick Posted April 28, 2011 Author Members Share Posted April 28, 2011 Mmm. That pause was an error I didn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LeonardScaper Posted April 28, 2011 Members Share Posted April 28, 2011 I absolutely love this song. You are getting down to some serious songwriting now, dear Grace. Please, no names.........the mystery is just so.......alluring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rhino55 Posted April 28, 2011 Members Share Posted April 28, 2011 Sounds good. FWIW, I kind of liked the accidental pause As for mixing (sorry Blue), I think the strummed electric would sound better if it started a hair sooner. Try dragging that track forward a 1/4 beat and see what happens. +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members grace_slick Posted April 29, 2011 Author Members Share Posted April 29, 2011 I never even noticed that guitar thing...but yes, I agree. I'm only listening to this one for the first (non-recording) time now. Thanks, dear Lenny. And yes, it is alluring, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members playlikedanko Posted May 4, 2011 Members Share Posted May 4, 2011 You've probably heard this before, but your voice reminds me a lot of Joan Baez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members grace_slick Posted May 4, 2011 Author Members Share Posted May 4, 2011 Oh wow, thank you! I actually HADN'T heard that before...I've heard Karen Carpenter many times, but no Joan. That's really nice of you to say! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members grace_slick Posted May 8, 2011 Author Members Share Posted May 8, 2011 And thank you Blue!! I never really thought of this as being about a parent or sibling. Both my parents are actually hear visiting me right now, and I have no siblings. So yeah, it's the other thing you said. Lover. But not imaginery, heh. Just absent. In a way. Yes, there are bits I need to work on. Thanks for the soprano folk 60s comment. Love that whole vibe and time of music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
