Ike

I was approached by a local musician and asked to collaborate on and sing a song he was working on. This is the result. Overall I'm satisfied with the result. Let me know what you think and what you would do differently. Thanks a lot.

This song is completely different than anything I've ever done before. Please tell me what you think. Keep in mind that this is only semi final. I've only done a little bit with eq and mixing and nothing with pan.

Something New

Yesterday you slept in
You missed a class or two
Well I don't think you're lazy
Sometimes I feel a lot like you

I'm tired of doing homework
Seems like all I ever do
guess we have a lot in common
Looks like you need to party too

[Chorus]
Lets do something new
Seems like all we ever do... is the same thing
Lets do something new
Now and the weeks here to... its the same thing
I want to do something new (for || with || to) you.

You laugh and say I'm funny
But you hope its not a joke
Well I won't let you down
so you needn't give up hope

You say lets go to my place
I say it isn't very far
We can have some fun
I'll let you play with my guitar

[Chorus]

You move like your on fire
Have you ever heard this song?
I remember when you got here
You said you wouldn't be here long.

I like the way you smile
It looks good with your clothes
If you keep this up I
might not spend the night alone

Hey please tell me what you think of this song. What do you think of the mix and the pan. Any idea's on the EQ? I know the drum track sort of sucks... I'm not a very good at drums. I think I might have my friend redo those. So don't really worry about commenting on them.

Any suggestions for the name would be appreciated too. So far I'm between With Me, Close Your Eyes, Don't Be Afraid and Victorian. Other suggestions would be good too.

Thanks a lot for all your help both now and in the past.

Everything I ever wanted.
I guess that I've got it now
Everything I ever wanted
It don't matter to me some how

[chorus]
Read me a book where the hero doesn't die
Take me anywhere tell me I can fly away
Find me someone who can tell me why
We say we're fighting for peace but it seem like a lie to me

I guess JT brought sexy back
But I haven't seen much change
Music with soul is under attack
Why don't you find that strange?

When I looked out my window today
The grass turned brown and the sun went away
Turned my head to the wall and prayed
I guess you were right in what you say

[chorus]

Tell me its not a joke
Tell me you feel it too
You laugh are you lauging at me
I'd won't laugh at you
Tell me its not a joke
Tell me you feel it too
I hate that everythings broken
I know that you hate it too

[chorus]

A song about all the things we desire but are afraid to try for. A song about the people who feel like no one loves them because they choose to ignore the people who obviously do. This song is about you and me. Probably the most Dylanesque song I've ever recorded. Tell me what you think.

Thanks,

Isaac Sloan
