Some of my tunes

Post by dswain81 »

Hello all,

I have set up a quick website for people to download music that I have written and recorded. There are around 15 tracks up right now, but I have more that need to be uploaded. There are a number of styles represented in my songs, so, there is bound to be at least one song that you can stand or even like at my site.

Any feedback positive or negative is welcome. I just record for the fun of recording, so, if you don't like my music, that is fine by me. Hell, I don't even like a few of the songs :D .

The site will be modified later on to make it look better with more info. I will keep you posted.

I downloaded into the black, but that's definitely not my style. Which songs are a little as Pink Floyd or Neil Young or something?

Like I said, there are several different styles there. The song "Chicago" is kind of mellow, as is "Cello." "Acoustic Video Game" is the closest to Neil that I think I have.

"Into the Black" is just my version of a Satriani kind of shred song.

Rock on.

I just chosed that one because I was listening to Hey Hey, My My, with the following line: I'm out of the blue, and into the black. I'll listen to some other, I'll let you know

There are three new songs at my site for download. Tell me what you think. I wrote the one with the harmonica after playing the harmonica for about 3 days.

AcousticVideoGame is really nice.

Chicago isn't bad either. Let me know when you have recorded new stuff, please.
PS. which song is the one with the harmonica?

Thanks. Chicago seems to be a favorite. The song with the harmonica is the one titled "5th Song (the one with harmonica, also untitled)." It is at the bottom of the home page.

There are also a few new pages including my equipment and some info about me. Don't forget to sign the guestbook and enjoy the songs.

Hey

The ones I downloaded were really good. I liked Acoustic Video Game, Blue Sun and Enter The Light. I'll try to get the rest when I've got a minute.

It's bookmarked anyway! :)

There is a new song at my site: "A Space Rock I Found in a Tin Can." It started out as a soft acoustic ballad kind of song...but eventually morphed into a moderate rock psychedelic kind of song. I really like it. Give it a listen and let me know what you think, good or bad. I do it for fun, so it is cool with me what you think either way.

It is at the bottom of the page.

Peace

ps: I also put up one of my old songs "WTF The Clown." It is very strange and features backwards vocals of my wife singing "Puff the Magic Dragon." I wrote it around 4 in the morning and found it about 2 weeks later...it is kind of scary/creepy.

Nope, no vocals here. I can't sing to save my life. I am currently trying to find some people to jam with. When and if I do find some people, I will add some vocals for sure. I am just waiting for the right people to come along.

I'll go to your Soundclick page and cast some votes too.

There are two new songs at my soundclick website: http://www.soundclick.com/davidswain

"Highway to Home" - a 70's rock instrumental dedicated to my parents for all of the cool music that they played around the house when I was growing up.

"Dark Spheres" - sounds like Tool meets old Metallica...dedicated to my boys back at undergrad college. They used to play this kind of stuff all the time....those were the days.

Enjoy and don't forget to sign one of my guestbooks.

Peace
