Somewhere to stay

[ryanoliver]

I wrote this in the shower this morning and had to go to work before I could finish it.

Whatcha think?

I feel an old-school (Moodys et al.) art rock ballad coming on. With strings. French horns. Nice slow over-compressed guitar solo. You know, that kinda deal.

[edub357]

You have a hell of a voice to start off! I like the feeling of this already, and yes it does have a rock ballad feel, i like how it sounds with just the acoustic guitar playing with maybe some other subtle instruments but i wouldnt over do it. maybe a nice piano to play on your melody?and definetly strings. cant wait until its finished.

French horns.

maybe a nice piano to play on your melody

Agreed, it needs some phrasing to fill my vocal holes.

Anyone here play the violin?

[edub357]

I can play the violin on my triton! i can send you a couple of examples mixed over your original track? do you prefer live sounds vrse samples?

[ryanoliver]

Feel free to rip it up. I'm yet to hear a realistic midi violin performance, I've jammed with too many violinists in the past to be fooled. I think I'm gonna finish this song tomorrow and donate it to the colab section.

"I'm yet to hear a realistic midi violin performance"

I smell a challenge

[ryanoliver]

I dare you to create a convincing violin.

I threw some drums on it so you can keep time.

Diamond in the rough..can't wait to hear the final cut after the spit shine and polish..

man i needed those drums last night! i dont have the internet at my house so i just had to write down the lyrics and give it my own spin but now that i listened to yours again i see my tempo was way off.lol this is completely out of my genre but i just put drums as well because i couldnt get the tempo without the guitar damnit i was up all night!lol mind you i do hip hop but check it out anyway, and i will still try to lay some strings on it now that i here more of yours. good work ryan

p.s i love these lyrics they are not escaping my head! i cant wait to hear the finished song, also i think this was a blessing in disguise, let me know how this mix sounds because i think the vocals sound better than any other trak ive done, the only thing different i did was recorded in my room which is big and i put a compressor on as i was recording. listen to my songs in the hip hop forum and tell me if the vocals sounds better!
