Things have changed since I was last on SongFight. I didn't realise that you had to vote for multiple people. In that case my votes go to - billy, state and hate noise.

Hello all. Gareth from Sell Crazy here. Thanks for the reviews, in hindsight I think I picked the wrong key for our song. It's at the top of my vocal range, if it was a bit lower I could have roughed it up a bit and made it more rock. Here are my reviews. Top 3 Billy This has a menacing feel that I ...

This title is so good that Sell Crazy are returning from a 7 year SongFight hiatus to enter. Let's hope we can do it justice.

a music - this is a strange little song that I couldn't really get into. Some of the rhymes made me smile though. Bell Green - a nice enough song but I was a bit put off by the part that just goes back and forth on the same two chords. That bit didn't seem that interesting to me. Dark Liberty - this...

Andy B a lham: LEAF: I swear that guitar is out of tune... If it was then this time at least it wasn't from lack of effort. I used the Pod's tuner before each set of takes after getting a pulled up on the subject by Blue on my last solo outing. It may well be my ropey old voice making the guitar so...

a music - I would have enjoyed this more if there was better tune behind the comedy lyrics. I like the spoken breakdown with the random guitar noises but the rest is very plodding and isn't helped by the monotonous melody. If you could come up with a more up beat verse I think it would set the lyric...

Sell Crazy East End dancing in the street, French beat. Bombs upon the Underground, shocked town. Empty house the rooms all bare, no life there. I remember everything, is that a blessing? You in a pink skirt and dancing on the lawn. Wine fuelled ravers who'll chase away the dawn. When you said forev...

It still irks me when someone says they would've liked a song except the mix doesn't have their preferred frequency mix, so they don't. I think I've given you the wrong impression. I like your song, high frequencies of not :lol:. I just thought there were some things you could do that would improve...

FWIW, I have compared my own mix to some other pro mixes and still feel that there is more high end in the pro mixes, and listened for the dropoff you're talking about, and not found it. And after checking it out some more, IMO the high end is actually about 8khz and above. It might be easier if I ...

Damn straight. Isn't the idea to make it 'flat'? No. Take a track from a professional CD and look at the high end from 5-10K in a spectrum analyzer. There is a steep drop off in the amount of energy in that range of frequencies. The ear can't take a lot of high frequency without becoming quickly fa...

The Big Smokes - some of the lyrics are a little questionable in this but then I shouldn't talk. The 'I've got no guts and it means to much' section in the chorus is catchy, bit like the Beautiful South. This song has a country feel to it because of the nice clean production. The drums are little me...

<b>Sell Crazy</b>: The music sounds really synthesized, in the not-so-good keyboard-demo way, and the singing needs more guts to it. Synthesized? There's nothing synthesized on that song. The only thing that wasn't recorded straight from the instrument was the drums, which were midi triggered sampl...

Ants (Invisible) - the plucked strings remind me of Enya. I like the distant marching sound of the drum and atmospheric bell toning. The different vocal lines mesh together nicely but I'm having some trouble picking out what your singing, which makes it difficult to get a handle on the song. After t...

I hadn't noticed that until you pointed it out. Damn my subconscious :lol:. Gareth. I thought you did it on purpose, like paying tribute or something. And I don't think it sent the song downhill. If anything, it jarred me into listening, because I immediately knew that line and then was hooked by e...

Gareth.

I wasn't very happy with the way my song turned out so I'm happy that someone enjoyed it, whether it rocks or not. Thanks Deshead for saying you liked it. Personally I think of it as somewhere in the middle of funky and rocking, doing neither well. I wanted the main riff to be in the vein of The See...

Andre Was Here At Midnight - this song sounds very disjointed, instead of all the guitar and vocal lines working together they seem to clash. The playing is also sloppy in places and so the rhythm gets pulled in different directions. I do like the initial drum beat and guitar line at the start. The ...

Thanks for all your reviews of the Sell Crazy song. I appreciate it. Brandon E. - the production puts me off this song. The kick drum feels really out of place in the initial quiet guitar/vocal sections, which is the section of the song I like the best. I also have some issues with the timing of the...

Hum no longer. I've just posted the lyrics here. Thanks for your comments, that goes for everyone else too.

Cheers,

Gareth.

All my love has gone away. Taken fright at the bright lights of day. Taken fright. I want her, I need her, but I can't bring her back. Chorus Ah... Even in death I will love you. Ah... I'll haunt this world till I'm with you. I can't live another day. Red, my life will drain away. I want her, I need...

Thanks for the comments. sell crazy - morbid lyrics seem to clash with the upbeat song The sad waltz part was suppose to be about a guy who had lost his love and was going to her funeral. The upbeat chorus was from the perspective of the dead girl who wasn't sad about dying as she knew they'd be tog...

Thanks for all the Sell Crazy reviews, especially the ones that said nice things :lol:. Abecedarian - production issues aside this has a nice feel to it. The sadness of the vocals does loose its impact after a while. I would have liked to have heard an angry, or something, section in there just to g...
