Description:
A song i made about all aspects i see in girls. Ahaha, mostly a couple put together. I have noticed that on the bridges and possibly on some other points i mixed it too loud, and there might be some distortion. I also might add that the drums are not perfect...sorry...
Lyrics:
Things are getting awkward now
did you ever wonder how?
things got to be this way.
you seem to change your mind a lot,
and i thought you were pretty hot
you walk by me everyday
I thought you were so cool
even better-old school
You just are not the same
you were better back then
when we were good friends
You think its all to lame
I thought it was me
I checked once or twice
I think we all know, that your not really nice
Don't take it too hard-cause its not me-its you
Please don't get me wrong
I really didn't write this song
wanting to be so rude
Im not even being mean,
your the one that is obsene
I walked into a bad mood,
I'm a pretty nice guy
didn't you ever wonder why-I never raised my voice?
you are very pretty
I was feeling pity
DO you think i had a choice?
I thought it was me, I checked once or twice
I think we all know-that your not really nice
Don't take it too hard,
cause its not me its you
We wonder why you brag a lot
We wonder why you think you got
social life to defend
wE could never imply
why you said you thought your shy
you have more than a couple friends
People are really hard to find
and the ones who don't mind
being the diffrent one
It will be pretty tough
And I thought i had enough-
But this might be some-fun
Don't care about your bff
the reason why your boyfriend left
Please girl, can you settle down?
Maybe you'd get more say
if you didn't go astray
Things might start to look good
Stop trying to be the queen, cut out all that being mean
Maybe in the end you might turn out swell
I thought it was me, I checked once or twice
I think we all know,
That your not really nice
Don't take it to hard-
Cause its not me-its you

Mix is pretty decent...could be just a tad cleaner. But the arrangement is superb and the vocals are STELLAR! Well done man!
Welcome to MJ!
Kurtis, Be Nice...and stick around, OK?

Kurtis &mdash 07/01/08 - 01:17:38 PM
This song is VERY cool. I read in your profile that you're aiming for creating unique music and you certainly achieved that goal with this song. I love the flute/synth/whatever thing at the end. and by loved it I mean it was too rad for words. "perfect" drums would (imho) do the song a disservice. They add to the song more than "perfect" drums would. Welcome to MJ, you're definitely an artist to watch out for! [ Reply to This ]

It's a fun song, upbeat music with a twisted message... the panned voice was a little weird in headphones, but not too distracting... great guitar work (except that it was clipping a little). I liked the synth flute-thing at the end, and almost think it would sound better just before the last chorus, instead of at the very end, or in both places. You've got a good clear enjoyable singing voice too, nice harmonies. Welcome to Macjams!

Great originality &mdash 07/01/08 - 07:57:08 PM
I don't think you have much to worry about in regards to being pigeon-holed, especially around here and especially as your unique musical and world view shines undeniably through your music.
All sorts of images came through while listening, including a few harmonizing Kurtis clones hanging out in your basement with you singing along.

this is very fun. I really liked the vocals and the way you moved them all over the place. Great tune, catchy melody and fun lyrics. For me it's a little like The Strokes or Ok, Go but lighter. haha - don't mind me. I like it a lot and look forward to hearing more from you. Welcome to MacJams! [ Reply to This ]
thanks! &mdash 07/01/08 - 08:03:40 PM
wow thanks a bunch!! Its funny, as I'm wearing a Strokes Shirt on right now (:

good great grand &mdash 07/02/08 - 09:33:09 AM
Excellent song. I love the guitar part and the flute thing at the end. It reminded me of a mix between Wheatus and The Get Up Kids. Keep up the good work! [ Reply to This ]

Good post Kurtis &mdash 07/04/08 - 05:08:42 AM
I really like this - good words and a solid recording - good playing and vocalising (good harmony too). The only bit I'd think about a bit more is the panning of lines in the verses. What you've done (panning left and right alternatively) is a good idea, I just think you might have pushed it a little too far - maybe just reduce it a little. You've got solid production skills, and my hat is off to anyone who can play and record live drums.
Excellent!

thanks! &mdash 07/04/08 - 02:46:17 PM
thanks a lot! I do relize that the panning was a little over the top. I just got a little crazy with that :D
but thanks! Im glad you lied it, and thanks for the advise!

really great! &mdash 07/06/08 - 02:40:18 PM
You probably know all this stuff, but yeah, the chorus is distorted. Just turn down your master volume a tad and that should fix that. Drums go a bit out of time in the instrumental break, which is emphasized by the ride cymbal, but it fits into the Moldy Peaches mould, lo-fi and cool. Reminds me of the Juno soundtrack, which isn't at all bad. Sorry to refer to another artist in describing your song, since it's more original than all that. It's the sign of a bad reviewer, which is more my problem than yours. Cool stuff! [ Reply to This ]

A real pain. You don't need to worry. My son always said that once a girl finds out that you can sing and make music, you are completely desirable. You might have to beat them off with a stick. Love your sense of fun. Thanks. [ Reply to This ]
