Re: Drinking in the Dark
Drinking in the Dark I just woke up from the craziest dream A Hunter S. Thompson scene I should write it all down But if I told you what I think it means Well you’d never believe You’d run me right out of town This old body’s not holding up Its end of the bargain I’m not looking trim or looking smar...

Re: The out of tune vocals are (Your Undoing reviews)
Anyone else going to review? Just review your way. Doesn't have to be an super-informed, insightful masterpiece. My reviews certainly aren't. Anyway, thx for these tunes. I’ll be voting for a higher number of them this time cos there was much to like. Add That is some kind of super intro with the bu...

Re: The internal struggle is real (Man Vs. Beast reviews)
Add I like the vocal on this. There’s a bit of a clip from the heavy bass. I really enjoyed the full, rich sound in the verses. Great acoustic guitar sound in the transition and nice instrumental choices in the break – long break – before the next verse. At 2:15 I wanted a change in the rhythm but y...

Re: Looking to add a real violin (fiddle) solo for "Your Undoing"
Thanks both. If I don’t find a player, I will probably do what you have suggested. The song screams for fiddle - hope it works out! Maybe I’ll have to whistle.

Looking to add a real violin (fiddle) solo for "Your Undoing"
Hi,
For the next Mellfire Trifecta song submission (Your Undoing) we could really use a short fiddle solo and possibly a some long extended notes played during the chorus.
Is anyone able to play this on Monday or Tuesday in a collab?

Re: Why go to sleep only to (Wake Up Again reviews)
Mellfire: love the mellotron(?) And these scale-climbing choruses.The beginning verses and jokes sounded slightly too earnest for me to get into it but I was sold later. I love the "peculiar sounds/react" chorus followed by the "hold me your arms" bit. I think words like "k...

Mellfire Trifecta is in. If the optional challenge had been to avoid using guitars it would have been covered.

Re: You spin me right 'round like (Wheels On Ice reviews)
The Craic Pipers I like the slow start with the bells and the build. It’s a compelling intro. The piano chords add a nice full feel. As always with your stuff, it’s strong vocals and good melodies. I kind of wanted to have the first verses finished a bit sooner and on to something else. At about the...

Re: I'm having a yard sale (Everything Must Go reviews)
One idea is to share links with friends/followers only after the fight is over, as it still gets the word out about Songfight (that's good!) but doesn't result in the friend vote (natural tendency - not so good). Echoing others' somewhat related point that it was a really good song.

Re: Don't Spring them on me (Summer Into Fall reviews)
Pigfarmer Jr I like the ending of the song as is but when I listen my preference would be to end with something a bit more final, with a drum fill and three hard strums or something. I wanted something more wistful, something that fit the idea of a fading infatuation. But you're point is well taken...
