A Rough Cut from my SOLO RECORD

this was the first song i ever wrote.  the lyrics are garbage, but i like the tune.  other than the drums and bass, these are scratch tracks.

Good job. It seems to have some real potential.

When did you write it?
Where did you record it?
Did you play all of the parts?

Finally got around to listening to the track.
Yeah lyrically def. a high school song but it would sell I bet you.

OK so I am really impressed. I can hear you on the radio already.

Come on man pull a John Mayer, make the cash and have The Breakfast open for you on a Nationwide tour of sheds.

You have it in you. I am positive of it!

story is, i used to work at a dunkin donuts and one time i heard that song like 5 times on the radio while i was workin and i had it stuck in my head so after work i went home and recorded a cover of it just for shits and giggles.

I liked the hope song alot. the first one was a little too poppy for me. You have some nice guitar solos.

I never imagined that to be your voice, if it is.

well done, like the music.
