Most of my songs are poems I've written and put to music. This is a recent recording.
That's some serious soul you got going on. Very nice song, very nice performance.
Rock On!
Nice song, and very well recorded. well done Allyson......Alex
Very nice vocal; dark and impressive! Well written song, as well!!
A very powerful and uncompromising production.
A definite talent-to-watch. Well done AM. 8)
Powerful song in so many ways ! The music fits the words so well and it's a great performance!
You really should consider getting some slightly better recording device. Your songs deserve it !
Soulful performance of a well written song.
hi Allyson and welcome to the forum .great vocals ..full of presence
modulation and breath control. very soulful singing.some of your
high notes were very dramatic. and a lot of dynamics into your singing
I agree though u should invest in some recording software if able.
and of course if u don't have audacity there is always the free version.
for about 69 dollars u can get sony audio pro . and mixcraft are all good
basic softwares. either way well done congrats keep sharing Neil.!
Nice to hear a new talented voice on the site. Welcome aboard, and please sent us many more musical poems,
daniel
Really lovely, totally fantastic song. I look forward to hearing what you come up with. Fantastic songwriting, singing and piano.
Pure soul voice :] Well done ;]
Welcome aboard a powerful performance combined with some honest lyrics is always a winner in my book....
I apologize for being away so long without response (busy work days). Thank you all very much for your time in listening and your kindness to offer feedback. I was very surprised so many would give this a chance. I know it's not a song written with the usual verse/chorus structure and song arrangement. Writing poems just keeps me as honest with myself as possible and working on songs is a major way I cope with things that go on.
Thank you again for the comments you've all shared with me as well as the suggestions on better recording. I'm without the means right now to make much of a change, but I hope one day to have an opportunity.

Unimportant, at least to me. Honesty, passion & heart always trump formula in my book, keep it up!!!

On ebay you can get a used Boss MBR for under a $100 & it will change your life (musically that is). You won't need anything else. It has a very good built in mic and tons of effects for instruments & vocals. Save your pennies & get one, you deserve it!
Rock On!
Excellent potential here, fabulous vocal performance and very intriguing songwriting. The power of your performance and emotion shines through.

Don't be misled by the "Songcrafters" name of the forum, there's many examples of completely different approaches to music here. We like and listen to all types and styles. Me, I like what is often called "prog rock" which threw away the whole verse/chorus idea anyway. Some of the best song lyrics standalone as poems, and some poems can make great lyrics. Yours work well.

As Hook suggested, the little Micro BR might be just what you need. But it depends what you want to do. If you are just interested in creating music and sharing it, carry on as you are.
Great opening track, love your vocals - awesome and assured. The structure is a bit Fiona Apple to my ears - which is very cool in my book.

Terrific voice hope to hear more!
OTD BUMP..
Does'nt seem like 3 years since I heard this,
Hurry back Allysonmarie...
Alex
Good bump, I could picture this in a rocked up production. Very talented lyric writing and the darker composition complements it well.
