Lyrics
out of the corner of my eye
i saw a face shaped in the sky
was that you watching me?
please, please what do you see?
im so near to home, i can hear it callin
im so near to home, i can hear it callin
callin
callin
i walked down to the street today
you always told me look both ways
now i see both sides of every situation
who knew this would cause a revelation?
im so near to home i can hear it callin
im so neat to home i can hear it callin
callin
callin
and this idea sparked some fuel of mine
of quick clocks and too much time
i see you in the clouds and youre all mine
i guess that i have won this time
im so near to home, i can feel you right here
im so near to home, i can feel you here
im so near to home, i can feel you right here
im so near to home, i can feel you here
youre here, yeah.
youre here, yeah.
out of the corner of my eye
i pulled a face out of the sky
put him right here next to me
so please, leave, let us be
im glad i am home, i can feel you right here
im glad i am home, i can feel you right here
im glad i am home, i can feel you right here
im glad i am home, i can feel you right here
right here, yeah yeah.
right here, yeah.
youre right here....
i saw a face shaped in the sky
was that you watching me?
please, please what do you see?
im so near to home, i can hear it callin
im so near to home, i can hear it callin
callin
callin
i walked down to the street today
you always told me look both ways
now i see both sides of every situation
who knew this would cause a revelation?
im so near to home i can hear it callin
im so neat to home i can hear it callin
callin
callin
and this idea sparked some fuel of mine
of quick clocks and too much time
i see you in the clouds and youre all mine
i guess that i have won this time
im so near to home, i can feel you right here
im so near to home, i can feel you here
im so near to home, i can feel you right here
im so near to home, i can feel you here
youre here, yeah.
youre here, yeah.
out of the corner of my eye
i pulled a face out of the sky
put him right here next to me
so please, leave, let us be
im glad i am home, i can feel you right here
im glad i am home, i can feel you right here
im glad i am home, i can feel you right here
im glad i am home, i can feel you right here
right here, yeah yeah.
right here, yeah.
youre right here....

Good writing and singing. I think you have great ideas and musical
sense. Your vocals and lyrics really carry this. But the production
doesn't do it justice. I assume you are singing into the pinhole mic on
the computer; I can hear all the room noise as well as the noise coming
from the computer and there are a lot of pops from you blowing into
the mic. If you can afford to spend a little cash I would highly
recommend you invest in a half decent condensor mic, a preamp
interface to the computer, and a simple pop filter. It will make a world
of difference. Hearing this song, I think your music is worth it.
In the meantime, without buying anything, you can get rid of (or
reduce) the pops by completely dropping out the bass on the vocal
track. The good part of vocals does not reside in the bottom range;
only pops and mic bumps reside there so you won't be hurting
anything. You may also be abe to reduce the general noise to some
extent with some EQ work. Also, at the very end, because there is so
much ambient noise recorded on the tracks it makes for a rather
abrupt cutoff at the end. Best to fade that out so it doesn't just sound
like to record button was clicked off at the end. Basically, there is
quite a bit you can do to clean it up but the best solution is to get a
better recording in the first place.
This is a good song and I think you perform it well. I think it's worth a
little investment in some basic equipment. I use an M-Audio 410
firewire interface (about $300) and an AudioTechnica MB4000C
condensor mic (about $90). You can likely find a cheaper interface that
will work for you out there. I'm happy with what I got. Depends on
your budget. Generally, decent mics start at about the $90 mark. Pop
filters can be purchased for around $20-30 or you can make one
yourself out of a wire hanger, pantyhose, and some duct tape.
The sooner you get these things the sooner your recordings will sound
a lot better and the less music you will have to record over from
scratch.
