Description
This is the first song I upload, so... it's my official online debut...

This is a song about me being unable of finishing anythig I start, like this song... so this is the most finished version of it. It's supposed to be a midtempo ballab, but I think it developed as a kind of punk ballad... I don't know... Just wanted the guitars to be raw and edgy, and I hope I've got it right...

Uh, it's sung in spanish, as it's my primary language... but... maybe it's better (for me) if you don't understand the lyrics... In english it should be titled "I Never Finish Anything", so here we go...

Lyrics

Nunca Acabo Nada
------------------------

Nada me sale como quiero
Siempre le toca a otro primero
Y si me toca no es tan grande como espero

Creo que en el fondo tengo miedo
De que al final no sea bueno
Lo que hay debajo de esta carne, piel y hueso

Suelo empezar
Y no seguir
Y tras un tiempo vuelvo a reincidir
No sé que más
Puedo intentar
Para poder llegar hasta el final

Sé que soy un tanto disperso
Que mucho abarco y poco aprieto
Y lo que aprieto se me escapa entre los dedos

Esta impaciencia que me ahoga
Quiero tenerlo todo ahora
Aunque mañana sea amarga la victoria

Vuelvo a empezar
Y no seguir
Y tras un tiempo vuelvo a reincidir
No sé que más
Puedo intentar
Para poder llegar hasta el final

Quizá debiera abandonar
Pero
Es muy difícil renunciar

Y una vez más
Vuelvo a insistir
Aunque ya sepa lo que va a ocurrir
Vuelvo a empezar
Y no seguir
Y tras un tiempo vuelvo a reincidir

Por la noche a veces veo
Los anhelos de mi vida
Y al amanecer descubro
Que aún sangran mis heridas

OH THIS IS GOOD
I do not understand Spanish, and I don't care....this song is great. It
succeeds because it is both in your face and direct, while still being
beautiful, and effortless. You have a great voice. You play guitar like I love
to play guitar. I love the multilayered vocals as well. A


P.S I have over 20 songs I haven't finished yet, so I know what you mean.

Great song!
Great first post aivan...I wish I could understand the words...(I hate knowing only english...ahhh)
hey, if this is unfinished then I am really in trouble..:)
A few comments on the mix...and I say this not because I know how to do it right, but because I like this song and wish I could tweak it as I listen to it...
I wish the guitar panned on the right was pushed a little lower in the mix, so as not to take attention away from your voice... and the instruments in the left brought up just a tad (the drums, bass, second guitar) to help balance the sound...your voice is great...don't change anything there.
I also wonder how the song would sound if the guitar on the right stopped all together or backed off during the second verse just to add dynamics...
Again, I say this only because I wish the song was mine and I could play with it and tweak this and that...great stuff...
I'm definitely looking forward to hearing more of your stuff!

If you find a trick to getting stuff finished...please please let me know!!!!

Great song!
Thanks a lot, mokus... all advices coming from you are much appreciated!!!

I'll try your tweaks and if I'm satisfied with them I'll post it...

Not sure about my voice yet, but... I suppose I'll learn what to do with it sooner or later... :)

Thanks again!!!

I managed to...
...understand some of this. My spanish isnt great, but i got the jist of
it! Nice melody in the song - the guitar is fantastic - reminds me of a
few of coldplay's heavier songs. Enjoyed your vocals too.

I managed to...
Thanks a lot, Beth... I'll try to put a new song soon... I try to take care of the melodies even when a wall of guitar noise is happening... next one will be heavier, so no more Coldplay remindings, I guess... :-)

Hope you listen to it, though... ;-)

great sound
hey there aivan!
Nice work! It is a great song to start with. Very catchy and easily one that could stick in someone's head for a while. I also think like some others that the vocals could be a little louder, just a bit though. great song.

PS. thanks for voting for my song the other day.

i like
this song a lot. it reminded me of babasonicos, butthat may just be because its in spanish. i liiked the lyrics. its very true that they sound better in spanish. maybe real drums would be the only suggestion, but we all know that loops are half the fun/trouble. i hope you really do end up finishing this.
