Where is a good site for hosting mp3's as mine was a free temporary one, and the account has already run out. :(]]> Sunday Songwriters Group Taver https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg-week-44-demons/#post-123325 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg-week-44-demons/#post-123249 Thu, 08 Sep 2005 04:21:56 +0000
I actually rather liked the demons. :twisted:

One thing I've found about any sort of writing is that you can't control the backgrounds or mindsets of your audience. So everybody will read or hear things a little differently.

Someone will say "I couldn't understand this verse..." and another poster will say that was their favourite bit. :wink:

I felt that you left a lot of room for us to fit it to our own lives. So it could have been a fresh start from all sorts of different types of relationship difficulties. Or it could have been from alcoholism, gambling addiction, anger or violence issues, or whatever sprang to the listener's mind really.

As always, there's room for more expansion on the theme, but I don't think that it's essential to do that. Some very effective songs keep the theme simple. And what sticks in our heads is usually just a line or two from a song, or maybe a verse.

So I can see someone working away at something and just singing:

"i'm free to live
the way i choose
no fears, no pain
no one to blame"

or whatever. Good job with the mp3 too. Looks like we both "took the plunge" this week! 8)]]> Sunday Songwriters Group Chris C https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg-week-44-demons/#post-123249 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg-week-44-demons/#post-123182 Thu, 08 Sep 2005 00:53:14 +0000
Guitar playing sounds ok in that short bit, but i'm not really good enough to hold it together through the whole song.......but i keep practicing!]]> Sunday Songwriters Group Taver https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg-week-44-demons/#post-123182 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg-week-44-demons/#post-123178 Thu, 08 Sep 2005 00:23:38 +0000 You may say you're a beginner guitar player - I'm only a beginner listener but I think your guitar playing sounds well enough, sounds great with your singing.

And you're right about choices, they're never doubtfree. With your explaination, the contradictions make sense. You might try to redo some lines to make that meaning more obvious. (hey - I'm a beginner criticiser also :P)]]> Sunday Songwriters Group Karla https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg-week-44-demons/#post-123178 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg-week-44-demons/#post-123169 Thu, 08 Sep 2005 00:03:39 +0000
Your thoughts will be aprreciated.]]> Sunday Songwriters Group Taver https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg-week-44-demons/#post-123169 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg-week-44-demons/#post-122839 Tue, 06 Sep 2005 16:23:32 +0000
I'm new to song writing (any kind of writing actually) and to music and how it all works. Still only a beginner guitar player.....loads to learn.

Thats my excuse :wink:]]> Sunday Songwriters Group Taver https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg-week-44-demons/#post-122839 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg-week-44-demons/#post-122834 Tue, 06 Sep 2005 15:40:22 +0000 But I like your style, being minimalistic in what you actually say, yet still creating some mysterious sphere. Not plainly telling what it's all about, but leaving a lot of guesswork. That might be a too much indeed, a bit more info would be welcome.]]> Sunday Songwriters Group Karla https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg-week-44-demons/#post-122834 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg-week-44-demons/#post-122830 Tue, 06 Sep 2005 15:00:05 +0000
Well yes there is more to it, but not always easy to put it into words. I avoided being too specific, so poeple could hopfefully relate it to there own personal demons. Maybe demons is too strong, but i can cant think of another way to describe it.]]> Sunday Songwriters Group Taver https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg-week-44-demons/#post-122830 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg-week-44-demons/#post-122780 Tue, 06 Sep 2005 04:00:07 +0000
This is nice but I can't help wondering if there's more to be told. There's all sorts of little hints but many of them seem contradictory ("I've changed my ways" which implies control of the situation versus "all doors are open / which way to choose" which, while is a matter of control is also a matter of trust in fate) and I kind of wish I knew more about the backstory.

Also "Demons" is (to me anyway) a very powerful figure. And I'm not sure that the narrator in his or her happy-go-lucky state is truly equipped to deal with them.

As always, it's just my two cents. I look forward to reading more of your material.
