Description

My first attempt at vocals in a very long time. I know this song is sort of gray and depressing. It is written in a very dark time in my life. No one ever, has to be alone if you have family. I pray for change...

I didn't know what genre because the lyrics are so dark, so I put it under "other". All feedback is welcome, especially for the vocals-I would greatly appreciate it.

Lyrics

This life of mine
is nothing but a lie...

ho ho hum

I sit here alone, by myself writing this song about nothing and nothing at all because it makes no sense It really doesn't make any sense why I go day to day living alone by myself...

Chorus:

There is no one (nothing at all)
There is nothing (No one to see)
to make me want to stay here... (Nothing to do)

ho ho hum
ho ho hum

jam

chorus:

	mmm, me likey. This really reminds me of Porcupine Tree (one of my fav bands at the moment). I love the effected vocals and your voice is perfectly tuned. I love the chorus vocals that repeat "Nothing at all...". And those lyrics really strike a proverbial chord with me. Very, very well done. Miss Chaos Check out my latest song called Shadow Puppets

	mmm, me likey. Thanks for the comment! I asked myself what is porcupine tree, so I checked out their website and listen to one of their songs. What a bizarre coincidence...they had some of the same tones with their choices of instruments. Weird though. Anyway thanks for listening! --- patrick Check out my latest song called The Hour - Knossos (Live Practice)

Great track.

Your vocals sound good and great harmonies. Nice effects
used throughout.
The only thing I can notice ( through my headphones) is
that the "telephone voice" is panned very far to the right
and doesn't seem balanced.
Other than that, as grey and dark as you think this is,
it is only a reflection of a moment in time..

I'll come and give you a hug!

Great track.
Thanks slimmie for your input. I think I wanted to add more emphasis by
creating a gray cold tone on the radio voice when I wrote this piece. Listening
to it so many times you loose sight on balancing the piece. I'll keep that in
mind next time.

You're right though... it is a moment in time. Thanks for the hug!

	Great Vocals If that's what you sound like after a long time, I can only imagine what you will sound like on your next song. Check out my latest song called La Pavillon

	Excellent lyrical pop and textures Those "ho ho hums"s are so great! What a wonderful piece. Wow. I just love the gently surprising chord progression, the floating nature of the textures, the great backing vocals, the full and complete arrangement. Excellent song.

	Wow What a great song. Yes...sad...and then again, that you have made something beautiful like this out of a sad point of time is the irony. Vocals are excellent. I'd love to hear you do some more singing in future songs. Thank you so much. Check out my latest song called Peace
