I Am The Man ( another misery song)

[L J Max]

Another song I wrote when my world was crashing down. This one is not recorded well and has some kind of weird feedback thing happening I could never figure out. I was so out of it at the time I don't even know how I managed to play and record it. Anyway there are a couple of guys who are in the position I was so just keep writing guys. It gets better.

Hey LJ,
That feed is wierd, sounds like the acoustic picking up the vocal??
anyways, song feels good, makes you wanna cry:)

[Myx62]

You can get a feel for where you were at. Not a bad song. I have a question. Would it be painful to redo some of your older stuff? I have a song from one of my first seperations I would like to redo. I should of listened to what I said in the song and never took her back. But thats life with a bipolar. You reach a point where you cant take anymore of the chaos.... Most of my stuff was written out of the chaos in recent years.

LJ. The poetry is great. This is a keeper.

Just a suggestion to pull back the vocals a little farther into the mix.

Oh Yeah...More cowbell.

[HevyD]

Man LJ, that voice is simply stunning sometimes buddy.
I think in this case it had to rise above the recording in terms of production values.
I'll say it again, you should redo all these gems to the standards you use now.

This is another great and honest vocal delivery, you ROCK man!!!

Brymcc: Thanks for listening. For the life of me I couldn't find what or where that ringing was coming from. I listened to each track individualy and found nothing. The mood I was in at the time I just said fuck it. Thanks again.

Myx62: Thanks for listening. I don't think it would be painful to do songs from bad times in your life. If that were the case we would never hear the blues. If you have some older songs from difficult times I say go for it.

Sonic Misfit: Thanks for listening. If I do anything with this song I will redo the whole thing and hopefully it will turn out better as I am in a much better frame of mind. Thanks again.

HevyD: Thanks for listening and your kind words Dan. I think I will probably redo this one since I haven't written anything new lately. Thanks again.

LJ,
Nice git sound...I'd bring down the reverb on the drums...
also on the backing vocals...
probably some multi band compression would make all the parts sit better together.
I can hear the emotion in your voice...Nice job.

RLD: Thanks for listening. I am going to redo the whole thing with hopefully better results. Thanks again for the listen and your comments.

joro: Thanks for listening and your comments Joe. I will redo it in the next month or so if I can find the time. Seems there's never enough of that anymore. Thanks again.

I haven't read prior posts, but the vocals need to come back a bit. Maybe more than a bit.

The drums a little muted -- maybe a bit more treble in them. The guitars are nice, but I'd like to hear them more.

The bass is a tiny bit muddy. But I think the bass drum is adding to that.

The keyboard parts tend to jump out and slap me in the face. Not sure if it's a mix thing or just a general inconsistency in the instruments. I mean, this sounds like a near-folk song, and then the key parts pop in and change the feel. It's kind of distracting.

This has a great deal of potential. A few small adjustments, and you've got a hit. Nice job.

[crawdad]

Damn. Everything I was gonna say has been said already. Some sharp ears here! Heartfelt song, though. Keep 'em coming!

[Mountaineer]

LJ -
This song is beautifully written. Mix is rough,enough has been said about that,but the idea gets through. With good production, it would shine!

Regards,
Mountaineer

[ouraurora]

great stuff...you're voice is amazing...great job

[L J Max]

piltdownman: Thanks for listening and your comments. The vox are are to loud. I don't have any keys in this song but I think you are reffering to the twin electric git single note fills in the second verse. They need to be toned down or eliminated. I really can't go back and change any of it so I've decided to redo it with most of the suggestions offered on this song. Thanks again.

crawdad: Thanks for listening and your comments. I will continue to torture this board with more songs. Thanks again.

Mountaineer: Thanks for the listen and your comments. Yep, a new version is fourthcoming. Thanks again.

ouraurora: Thanks for the listen and welcome to RP.

Aw Jim...man, you gotta stop hitting so damned close to home... Lovely song, as always. You've got such signature sound...and the vocal is just unbelievable.

Thanks for yet again letting me just lose myself in hearing your work...

[sonusman]

That intonation problem again.
