Music You've Made

[Blasted Child]

I've been dabbling with music to and from for quite some time, but never more than on a pure hobby level - I don't have a classic good voice and I'm not an extremely skilled musician. I've had problems finding my own style, which has resulted in many weird arrangements. At times I've let other people sing my songs.

I think I've finally come up with something that has some kind of genuine style and feeling to it. It was quite a magical experience, because usually I spend weeks and weeks tweaking my songs (without actually improving them) but this one just popped out of my brain; I wrote the lyrics and recorded the whole thing the same day. It's not at all complicated, which may be why it was such a deliberating feeling.

I've tried a bit to emulate american folk tradition, so with a lot of yanks around I thought this could be a good place to show it.

I have to link to my myspace account, as I don't know how to link individual songs.
So it's the most recent addition to:

I wish it could always stay like that

I'm extremely good at handling harsh criticism, so fire away

I Wish It Could Always Stay like that is such a good (Irish)folk(ish) song. It is arranged very well and it has a great ambiance to it. I can honestly see me and one of my exes listening to this and drinking. +5

The rest are all good too. It is a real shame that they have so few plays. I know a couple of people that would absolutely love your style. I'm one of them. You have such a lullaby feeling to your songs that it's easy to get hypnotized by them.

Keep it up! Write more. Share.
