Hey everyone,

I wrote and performed this song with an acoustic guitar. It's called "Reunion". This song means a lot to me, so please give it a listen and let me know what you think!

Thanks for the input guys, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Any other input? More critical input, even?

[Vikonbarius]

not bad at all,..
although i'd like to add a little bit of critiq
What i didnt really like was the monotony of it all.
Its basicly all sung in the same vocal range.
Having that said, i do believe with a few changes here and there, you'd reallz have something going.

Really good job!

The only negative I would say is that after the very lovely harmonies, the verses sounded a bit flat.

The tune and harmonic composition though showed real promise imo.

EDIT: I don't mean flat as in out of tune, just lacking in something.

Thanks for the feedback and criticism.


I too noticed that the verses could maybe use a little something extra... maybe adding a bassline or drums to the whole thing would really create a sound that is more full. But then again as i said this is a solo project so I don't really want to include anything that I couldn't do live. I suppose that's the whole thing; when you're only using an acoustic guitar you don't have as much to work with. Maybe I could double up the vocals for the recording.

To explain, though, this is supposed to be a gentler, quiet song, with the harmonies being the 'hardest' part of it. So it's supposed to feel a little aired out and soft.


EDIT - Also, I do understand the 'monotonous' comment. I definitely have more songs on the way with a much more active and dynamic vocal range, but this particular one didn't have it, I agree. It was intentional though.

Please don't add drums to an acoustic song. =(

[Vitoethiche]

Sounds good J! I am really impressed.

[astonmartinrx371]

Please don't add drums to an acoustic song. =(

well if anything it'd be drums with brushes instead of drum sticks for a nice soft sound. But as I said I won't be adding drums because I want this to be able to translate live well.

Other than that nice.

Ah - I gotcha. I didn't think of the softtip.

Well I like it, and I'm sure it'd be good live.
