The Wagtunes Corner (Featuring My Best Yet)

[wagtunes]

My 2nd track from my upcoming CD "Ten Years Later" I decided to sing myself. It's a reference to my original track from 10 years ago called "My Blues." A few synth vocal lines in the background but for those who hate Vocaloid as a main voice, this track shouldn't offend you. In fact, I didn't sing it too badly considering it's all of a 5 note range, which is about all I can handle these days. It's passable but that's about it.

Nobody Knows My Blues

For me that's 100x better than anything using Vocaloid. The vocal is fine. There's a couple of parts where you sound a bit hesitant in the changing between the notes, but nothing major.

Only thing that matters is I finish on October 7, 2018.

You do know that's only my 49th birthday?

I remember to wish you a happy birthday when I'm done.

This instrumental was written and recorded after I took my first Groove 3 mixing course. This was the beginning of my starting to make music with EQ, compression, limiting and a lot of other stuff. I still had a long way to go but this is the track that started it all. If you listen to the stuff I did before this, you'll hear the difference.

Two main problems with this track.

1. The volume is way too low.

2. The kick really needed more done to it. It's totally dead. If I redid this track today, it would sound a lot better.

The main thing it's got going for it is it's catchy. But I never did have problems writing music. Just making it sound good.

Like your voice, sweet and very musical. Reminds me John Lennon.

My whole life people have told me I sound like The Beatles. I once did a cover of George Harrison's "What Is Life" that sounded almost exactly like him vocally. Unfortunately, the instrumentation was really bad. LOL

Anyway, thanks for the listen and feedback. I still don't think I sing all that great.

[vurt]

neither did lennon.

[wagtunes]

neither did lennon.

I'll go even further than that. In an interview when George Harrison was asked what made the Beatles such a phenomenon, he replied "I really don't get it. We don't play all that well."

And the truth is, early on, they didn't. They just happened to hit the scene at the right time with catchy songs and had just the right look with those haircuts. They were a perfect case of the whole being greater than the sum of their parts.

you are aware where i grew up/live again?
seriously, there are people around here, if they heard me even say "well the frog chorus and mull of kyntire where a bit naff" they would be outside with pitchforks and torches. the beatles weren't taught to us in music classes they where part of religious education:lol:
(i live in a town a few miles away from lpool, god only knows how serious they take it over there )

Yeah, they were definitely one of a kind, even in the States where I grew up. And I was as big a Beatles fan as anyone. Could name all their songs and albums even into the solo years. We would have countless debates on who was the best solo artist. One could even argue Ringo with monster hits "It Don't Come Easy", "Back Off Boogaloo", "Photograph" and on and on.

While I won't go as far as to say they were my favorite group of all time, they were absolutely the most influential as far as songwriting went. I'd have to say that Paul and George were the ones who influenced me the most.

Those were good times.

"It Don't Come Easy"

My favourite record (vinyl 7") when I was 13 or so.

I was 13 at the time it was released as well. I still have my entire vinyl collection downstairs in the basement with a few select 45s and albums upstairs, though I don't listen to any of them anymore. Just don't seem to have the time.

[thecontrolcentre]

I don't have any Ringo vinyl anymore. I sold a lot of my collection when I was 17 (before I knew better). The cash went toward my first motorbike ... a BSA Bantam 175.
