Description:
Re-do of a slow one you'll find among my earliest submissions here.

I used the keyboard to play the bass with a kind of upright bass sound to it. I guess this is a more jazzy approach.

Drums is also programmed in a midi channel in GB.

Lyrics:
You give me what you think is best,
what you know as good.
And you think you´re doing all you can,
and that what you do is right.
But it´s wrong, yes so wrong.

You talk like a woman,
with allways something on your mind.
And you walk like no man,
ever sat a foot on your way.
sat a foot on your way.

I, I need someone special.
Someone not settled and done
I guess you spent time with me in vain.
'Cause I want some unlike you, babe.
so much unlike you.

Usual stuff

Big sound. Big blues. Lay it down and wipe away the cry. Flows, grows,

Excellent
Authored by: aclarke on Thu, 5 Jan 2006 17:48:20 -0600
I am seriously impressed. This is an outstanding song. Nice vocal dripping
with passion and sung with gusto- keyboards are a great touch and the
lead guitar was understated and tasteful... perfect!
Excellent
Authored by: thoddi on Fri, 6 Jan 2006 16:23:53 -0600
I guess gusto (I had to look that word up) is what comes from the satisfaction of having the pleasure of making music... And having garageband as a perfect tool to collect the memories of it...

soothing sound
Authored by: selters on Fri, 6 Jan 2006 15:57:56 -0600
when reading the lyrics at first I thought you made fun of a feminin man wiht the line "And you walk like no man" haha. This is a really great track, you are a real talented musician. I really like your vocals on this one, dont think i have heard that good vocals from you before! And without joking about the lyrics i would like to say that i think they are very good. Great one Thor!
soothing sound

Glad you liked the vox:) We should do a norwegian collab one day!

Fantastic singing - perfect for this style. And the guitar solo

This song oozes and melts, and the lyrics are strong and honest. Guitar work is sparing and in the mood, and the pieces are all right for each other. You're definitely onto something really good

A lot of feeling
Authored by: TEXASFEEL on Mon, 9 Jan 2006 11:29:12 -0600
There is a lot of feeling in this tune. Though it's blues it really has a jazzy feel to it. Top notch in my book and a great addition to macjams. The guitar is excellent Thanks for sharing.

Regards,
John

Sverige soul

Thoddi..my man, my favorite MacJam artist, Great song. Awesome guitars. Do use a keyboard? If so, what kind? What midi keyboard sound? Huge guitar sounds. Fender? HOw do you record the guitar?
Awesome nordic soul man. Man I love youe stuff so much! All the way back to Some go!
Sverige soul
Authored by: thoddi on Mon, 9 Jan 2006 15:04:28 -0600
Sverige soul...heh.. pulling my leg? he he:)

Alley-oop you give me such great support, and beeing such a fine artist yourself, it's a great honour when you listen and review my songs. Thanks for such encouraging support. I really appreciate it.

About the tech stuff... keyboard is a m-audio ozone. The piano sound on this is the el-piano from GarageBand with a tad overdrive, and also a tiny drop of chorus.

The acoustic guitar is an Ibanez recorded through a "Studio Projects B1" condensator mic. Added tremolo and reverb.

The electric one is a hollow body "Samick" korean, cheap guitar that is awsome to play.
Usually I play it through an amp, but this is infact straight trough the ozone (the ozone is also my soundcard). Added some overdrive or distortion, delay and reverb.

I have to mention that I bought a new pre-amp. Behringer Tube Ultragain Mic200, which all of this is filtered through.

Like The Sounds
Authored by: poodyglitz on Sat, 28 Jan 2006 02:36:12 -0600
The guitar sounds are great. I love the distortion in the electric
piano. I'd just watch the distortion is the solo guitar. Is it
intentional?

Could use a more developed ending.
