I think the song is awesome. But are the vocals auto-tuned! Sounds like he can hold a tune without it? Maybe back of a cent or 2 and only use it as an effect. What do you think?

Great song. I never used Auto-Tune so if I'm wrong - I'm sorry!

Great work!

[jerdude]

well of course its autotuned.... doesn't everything that is supposed to be FM radio have to be autotuned?

i don't know.... as long as it doesn't have that cher...blee blee blee effect then i am ok with it sounding tuned. like i said.... everything on the radio sounds tuned to me.... no vibrato and perfect pitch changes.

again... what do i know

It's all good man. It takes a bit long to get started for todays goldfishpeople that have such short attention spans (go straight to a triple mega-harmony chorus and then a dual guitar solo battle with explosion sfx, that's what I would do). I always wanna kick that Maroon5 singer whenever I hear his robotised throat. But as you say everything is tuned nowadays so you'll probably be considered original or something if you'd drop that autotune.

Drums should go in on 1:02 and cut to the second verse on 1:14.

Then it's ready for the masses : ) Cool song man. I don't mind the autotune. Sounds great to.

[jerdude]

thanks for the feedback dudes.

"you'll probably be considered original or something if you'd drop that autotune"

haha.

anybody think the song needs a bridge?

[rynugz007]

it sounds great, really nice. The song itself sounds like it could be on a soundtrack but otherwise doesnt do anything for me at all. Its got that floaty, droning, mopy coldplay thing going on but there isnt anything in it thats interesting to me (melody, voice, orginality)

I disagree. I wouldn't change the dial if I heard this on the radio.

nope

[jerdude]

hey thanks Jose!

i actually wondered if it was kinda soundtrack-ish. its definetly meant to be a little trippy.... in a pop sorta way.

[rainsinvelvet]

I enjoyed the song.
One thing:
I'm not sure if it's because it was noticed by others ,but I def. hear the auto tune at times. I would back it off just a bit like the other fellow said.

All in all, I thought it was cool. Maybe it could use some more dynamics, but thats just a personal preferance.

Sounds good.

I never understood the term "soundtrackish". What does that exactly mean ?

Cause I've had some songs of mine referred as that as well. "would be good for a soundtrack" ???

[R2OS]

I have only one thing to say.

Great track.

[Sharp11]

I like the vibe, the production and the general song, but as one poster suggested, it needs a bridge, it just goes nowhere.

Then again, much of today's music plods along in this way, so........
