<div>Thank you Tony for this long Email,it s appreciated and motivating . :)</div>
<div>About the guitar at the beginning yes there is a chorus from my rocktron ( I love it as bands who used those sounds )</div>
<div>I don t really understand what you meant "by the way, which one is Pink?" except if it s about Pink Floyd syd Barrett and roger Waters ...</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Anyhow I did what barians advised me : cut some low freq on the bass around 250Hz ( also before it wasn t completely tied), and I tried to boost and clean the vocals ...</div>
<div>For the second part I hope it doesn t sound so flat anymore ( but it still challenging; it s for this reason i should record my guitar with the Re-Amp technic) ... </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Bellow is a new version if you or other barians are interested :) </div>

</div>Well I have no preference for style, only good music :)<br><br>Strange to say... the lyrics in this track are so good - intense, and beginning to develop a unique voice (in the sense of language) - but you can hardly hear them in the mix. So much work, and most who hear this track will not have any idea what is going on underneath.<br>
<br>If you're serious about writing lyrics, then the music is either equal or less important. Given the quality of your lyrics, I think you need to see music as a way of putting your words across, rather than a way of creating a vibe that hopefully some people will recognise and then start listening (the very opposite of the entertainment industry idea... "by the way, which one is Pink?"). This will make your work more original and subversive, and less like the bands your friends wish you were in ;) They will like your music less if you step outside the social identity they (and you) have created for it.<br>
<br>The music itself - brilliantly put together, although... chorus on guitar? I know there are loads of bands that do this, but, just my opinion, it really is a sound that got used up very quickly a long time ago. Also, bass drum in the opening minute or two - it's a heartbeat, so, understand what metaphor you're using, and mix it as such - ie, more bassy, more reverb, less like a cardboard box.<br>
<br>The dynamics of the piece are strangely flat in the loud section, and although you could see this as a technical issue (compression ratio), I'd say forget technology, and ask yourself about the narrative structure of the art, rather than the sonic structure of the music. Always see the big picture ;)<br>
<br>But... brilliant. You're in good company in recording inspired lyrics that nobody ever gets to hear because the music's getting in the way :)<br><br>Tony (HB)<br><br>

So here I am , There I go<br> In the space waves as you know,<br> You are so heavy, I am so light,<br> Also crazy when you denied:<br><br> Everything I done still has no range,<br>
Everything I done still has no range ...<br><br> So here I was, there I went,<br> Through your spaces for you to obtain,<br> My love so insane, zigzaging so strange ...<br> Why don't you make me smile for a change ?<br>
<br> Everything I done still has no range,<br> Everything I done still has no range ...<br><br> Change is life, change is death,<br> Change is changing my own faith,<br> Change your love, change your pain<br>
Change everything but keep the rain ...<br> There we go, there we swim,<br> We don't know what's happening,<br> Change my kind, change my mind,<br> Change this chaos, sometimes it's fine...<br>
I just forgot myself ....<br><br> For a change ...<br> I just forgot myself ...<br><br> For a change ...<br> Change is old, change is new,<br> Start to stop, stop to start,<br>
What is true in the end ?<br> What was the beginning again ?<br> Change the yin, change the yang,<br> Change the nothing, they turn in round,<br> Let's run, let's fly,<br>
Let's swim, let's die ...<br> I just forgot myself ...<br><br> For a change ...<br> I just forgot myself ...<br> For a change ...<br><br></div></div> ______________________________<u></u>___________________<br>
