Some new tunes I wrote

[phan]

I had this melody going through my head all day at work a couple days ago so i came home and started doodling on the guitar and about 2 hours later I had this little demo...i've never gone from an idea to a somewhat finished product so fast. If nothing else the lyrics always slow me down quite a bit but these kinda flowed as I wrote about my cousin who's in a terrible relationship right now.

Obviously I need bass/drums and the rhythm is pretty sloppy but what do you think?


edit: ugh...looks like my widgets aren't working. use this

I like it.

[Butcher]

Wow. That's really good. Full of emotion. The guitar solo is kickass, too.

[rok]

Some of the best songs are just guitar and vocals. You may want to keep it as is, Sean.

I like it a lot.

[Lance]

Awesome.

[Jody]

Man Phan, I really like that a lot. It's very melodic and the lyrics flow really well with music. It kind of reminds me of a Pumpkins tune. Of all the songs you've written that might be my favorite one. I can't wait to hear it cleaned up!

[Brock]

Very nice, love the guitar.

sweet...thanks for the feedback. i had a feeling this was a good one but it's hard to judge your own stuff.

it's been a while since i've posted any of my stuff up here but my writing has been all over the board...some acoustic stuff, some indie rock, some piano tunes, some hard rock/grunge etc. I guess the reason I haven't posted any of them is because unlike my previous stuff i just haven't had the time to do the drum/bass/backup vox/full production like i was doing before. They're all still very much in demo form but i've been playing them out and getting pretty good feedback. here's a few of them if you're interested

all acoustic

Picking Up The Pieces - A laid back Tom-Petty-esque rocker

Something Better - About as close as I get to country.

Fortune and Fame - Standard Rocker...will be recorded with electric guitars at some point

alternative

Fake - Probably the oddest of my recent songs...i had this drumbeat and bassline in my head and decided to take it in to the electro world. the sounds are a bit cheesy and the drums during the verses are going to have a lot more layers but the basics are there. this ones going to have a radiohead-type feel to it when finished.

piano

Last Goodbye - A song I wrote on the piano. I added a lazy rhythm guitar in the background but i envision this being a big production...more guitars, maybe strings, etc.

Seanata - another piano ditty...this one instrumental. yes i know the title is cheesy

[phan]

no love for the other tunes or music/self-promotion overload?

I'm curious which people like best as i'm going into the studio to record 3 of them and want to choose the best ones.
