Very Cool MP3.

I like your electric sound. How did you do the drums?

Its interesting that you and Vic both zoomed in on that phrasing, my thinking there was that is was a kind of vocal relief after the lyric crammed lines that preceded it, a breather before the guitar ramps up the pace again. I guess the question is does the breaking of the momentum work or does it detract ?

Dog, Im just dipping my toes in the water at the moment, but hey, there's an electric guitar sitting on the rack now, so Id be crazy not to pick it up very now and then, now wouldn't I :D
Cheers

Finally managed to download this and it's great! Love the guitarwork and you're becoming a much more than competent bass player! Very cool.

Having listened, though, I've suggestions I wouldn't have had otherwise as far as the song itself.

First, I'd like to suggest that you might use the "I do's" as tag lines in the spoken part of the bridge:
Bridge (spoken to background instrumental)
And do you take this person
To have and to hold (sung, possibly a chorus of voices: I do I do I do)
In sickness and in health
Till death do you part (sung, possibly a chorus of voices: I do I do I do) And then go on with the instrumental and the final chorus of
I do
I do
I do

Second, I'm not sure about the "what's going on" line now. It didn't phase me in the least before, but (as has been noted), the phrasing of this really breaks up the momentum of the song. Maybe adding to this line will help things to ease into the "let's not walk alone" line. Maybe something like:

...Take my hand and let's be moving on
Let's not walk alone...

It's a minor thing, though.

Really looking forward to more!

Good song, well played - fun being a one-man band isn't it!!! Vic, yeah it is a lot fun. I'm really enjoying my new bass guitar, can't play it properly yet but still having fun with it. I've also just discovered another use for it, I find I can work out the chords of songs on my Bass easier than using my guitar. This really helps if there are no published chords on the net.

A tiny criticism....you could work on your phrasing a little, I got into the rhythm of the song very quickly, and there were a few times you seemed to stumble over the phrasing....but hey, this is a quick recording....only a couple of days from writing to recording...so you probably haven't got every line down flawlessly yet, I know it happens to me....

Good song, well played - fun being a one-man band isn't it!!!

"somewhere between dread and surprise"
and
"We've been together seems like forever"

but I think that if you just squeeze the words in near the front of the line rather squeeze them in the back it'll sound more natural.

Great work. Nice guitar tone.]]> Sunday Songwriters Group lavadave https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg5-week-11-walk-alone-with-mp3/#post-223269
