Soledad

I wrote and recorded this song about ten years ago... maybe more? Let's say between 1999 and 2001.
I had plenty of time and so I was recording ideas all the time but I finished very few songs, and even fewer are worth showing.
What did I use? Who knows? A Zoom505 pedal directly connected to the SoundBlaster 128, Creative Wave Studio for the mixing, FastTracker for the rythm...
The song is very simple, too short, the drum is annoying, and so on... but overall I like it. And the lyrics are not that bad (spanish of course).

Recorded on Computer with Creative Wave Studio.

Te encontré debajo de una piedra
Ahí tirada en una sucia carretera
No comprendí lo que ahora está tan claro
Igual que yo tú eres un bicho raro

Te acompañé un trozo del camino
y lo que vi nadie jamás lo ha visto
estás muy mal estás como una cabra
pero en verdad tus ojos no me engañan

Y cada vez que me acuerdo me río para no llorar
Porque una noche sin ti es el colmo de la soledad.

El día que nos separó el destino
no sé porqué yo me sentí perdido
y comencé a buscar bajo las piedras
pero ninguna encuentro igual que la primera

Y cada vez que me acuerdo me río para no llorar
Porque una noche sin ti es el colmo de la soledad.

Great song baterpruf, the drums don't bother me at all and I love the guitar solo! This one needs to be put into under2fest!
Rock on!

[baterpruf]

Thanks Hook!

I don't know what implies putting it into under2fest. I'm THAT newbie...

[Tony H]

Great job. I must learn my spanish!

[Rockatron]

Muy bien, especialmente la guitarra and your vocals!  Great job. I don't find the drums annoying at all my friend.

[Rata-tat-tat]

Drums sound good to me... maybe just a little hot in the mix... Just a little though... I like drums that cut through! Well done start to finish!!

[cuthbert]

I just read this interesting post:

https://songcrafters.org/community/index.php?topic=14407.0

with the rules "don't post too much" and also "don't post your old songs, we all have a rusty old 400MB harddrive full of experiments".

So this song is not really matching the spirit of this site. But don't worry, as I said I don't have many old recordings (maybe one more... )

Now I'm working on a new one, well, I started the lyrics it last year, but never recorded, I swear!!!

The drums are very prominent in the mix, but it still sounded great on my headphones! A very happy song, and some great guitar work. Short but oh so sweet. Nice one.

Yes, I think you made a great recording, especially with the equipment you used - That's old school!

Very good!
