Re: Even if we're just... Drinking in the Dark (reviews)

These aren't great reviews, but I like to read reviews of my music (even when they're not super-positive), so I (unfairly) assume you do too. Add : My favorite thing about this song is the loose feel. But I also love that this could have been posted in 2001 - you haven't aged or matured a bit! ;) Su...

Re: Even if we're just... Drinking in the Dark (reviews)

Frankie Big Face : i really like that quavery synth from the intro. Or whatever it is. I really like how the first two verses mirror each other. Gonna vote for this one. I had two production goals with this recording. Test out the new UAD "Capital Chambers" reverb plugin I bought and deci...

Re: Even if we're just... Drinking in the Dark (reviews)

Frankie Big Face – The song itself is deceptively simple, but the lyrics are rather impactful. Points deducted for leaning heavily into the “sleeping in the park” bit, but at least it isn’t used directly as a rhyming couplet with the title except once at the very end. And the song itself is lovely ...

Re: Even if we're just... Drinking in the Dark (reviews)

Frankie Big Face I like the intro alot. Reminds me of something. Its kinda like a gothy Everly brothers. I like the way the bass comes in. I like the lyrics alot. Has a real classic feel to it. Well done. I love that this reminded you of the Everly Brothers. When I wrote the song, I 100% figured I ...

Re: What happens in Song Fight, stays in Song Fight (Nevada reviews)

I’m glad people liked my big guitar riff. I had to practice and it’s still pretty sloppy. I wouldn’t allow any of you solo any of those guitar or bass tracks. 😂

Drinking in the Dark - Frankie Big Face I’m drinking in the dark again Still searching for that spark again A light can’t find the soul Of a heart that’s made of coal So I’m drinking in the dark again I’m sleeping in the park again Hungry and thirsting for my dearest friend But a bench is not a bed ...

Re: What happens in Song Fight, stays in Song Fight (Nevada reviews)

Frankie Big Face – bouncing between so many different vocal effects (from mostly clean, to drowned in reverb, to a whole myriad of others – except for a de-esser) can be a little jarring, almost as much as bouncing between pronunciations of ne-VAD-uh versus ne-VAH-duh. If that’s supposed to imply a...

Re: What happens in Song Fight, stays in Song Fight (Nevada reviews)

I'm not good at reviewing songs so I'll just say that I really enjoyed Glenn and Frankie's songs the most this time around. But I think my vote goes to Glenn, really loving the chords and harmonies in the bridge 🎉 Also kinda good to hear that the criticisms of my song so far are the same things I w...

Re: What happens in Song Fight, stays in Song Fight (Nevada reviews)

I’m not sure how it’s at all backhanded to be told I’m getting better - I’ve been working hard at that all this time and I’m glad it’s showing! Oh, I don’t know. People are sensitive. You are getting better and it’s showing. Twenty years ago, I wasn’t nice in reviews. I’m trying to be more positive...

I think it was a GIF version of this one -- which is only remotely interesting because I took it on my way to the first Song Fight Live. DSC00052.JPG Ah, the first SongFight Live. Good times. Will forever be remembered as the time I told a very talented Mr. Mo to play "A" on the bass for ...

Jefff, if you thought that could have been live, then I succeeded! It’s not a live performance, sadly. I can play it. And it sounds so much better on my baby grand in the piano room. But, a) I make occasional mistakes and would most assuredly get frustrated and throw a tantrum to the empty house; an...

Re: Need to save my pennies... (I Need A Vacation reviews)

I enjoyed the unexpected melodic twists and turns in the Sockpuppet song and the unexpected harmonic/rhythmic twists and turns in the Zorznijor song. I think I voted for something else too, but I can’t remember!

Re: A parade, or a marathon?! (A Grand Parade reviews)

Frankie Big Face : Frankie Big Face is one of the only SongFight artists who has songs that I have kept returning to over the years, so what a delight to get comeback. Such a skilled songwriter and this is no exception. I love the climbing guitar behind the “To fade away”. “I’m Doppler dropping wit...

Re: Need to save my pennies... (I Need A Vacation reviews)

Frankie Big Face – have you ever done a song from Hedwig ? Listening to this one, it’s bringing up a strong connection to “The Origin of Love” from that musical (the quieter beginning part, not the harder-rocking later part), and I can’t tell if it’s a product of the melody or the tone or if it’s t...
