Sitting it out this week, stressful stuff happening here in real life.


-Jordan

>>Jordan Cooper - Some very TMBG elements here, and I know that you are a huge fan. I like the yawning in the limosine line: how jaded is this guy? Also like the chords at a minute or so - nice and scary. Good layers and song with a near apathetic delivery.<< Wow thanks!! Sigh, the TMBG curse. I'll ...

>>Jordan Cooper - Depressing feel. I like this one, but the transitions are a bit awkward. You have good recording skills though. The tambourine seems a bit out of place, but it doesn't ruin anything. Good stuff.>> Thanks! Hmm yes, you caught me there. You guys are good. DAMN. The tambourine was an ...

>>If it had less of a midi sound, I would really like this tune. <<


Hey believe me, if i had a REAL horn section, that's what you would have been hearing...


-Jordan

>>The vox sound slightly too apathetic for me here, I'm down with sing-speaking but there's just a couple of lines here and there, especially around the 'in my limousine' section and the 'people who are prettier than me' line where you sound like you've totally lost interest in the song/melody << Th...

<<Jordan cooper-I didn’t get a chance to review last week, but I liked your “ wiser “ much better than this. I think you have a good foundation. << Thanks! I wanted to do something very different from last week, since I'm new. I feel like my "Beauty" song grows on you though...as i was wor...

Beauty is a Burden by Jordo Coopo Ugly people look at me and they all Hate me. I will never be free of this Beauty. Please don't look at me and all this Beauty. Why must I always be a front page STORY. It's all so BORING. That I am YAWNING. Inside my Limousine. That's where I'm HIDING. We won't stop...

>>Yet you're clearly playing an electric guitar in one of your photos on your website (which is very cool btw) - the mystery deepens ....<<


I am???? There's like no photos of me on my website. Wha??



-Jordan

>>Jordan Cooper Toy piano I dig. The guitar seems a little low and light—could benefit from a bit electric guitar, but that's coming from a guy who uses it waaaay too much. This seems a bit short for what it is. >> If only I HAD an electric guitar... believe me it would be on EVERYTHING I do. I so...

Just finished my song and sent it in!!! I'm very happy with it. I don't think it will win any fight but it's one of my favorite recordings ive done in a while. There's this one guitar part I added last minute that totally changed the song, im so proud of it.


-Jordan

I'm in! I'm trying to make it vastly different from "you get the wiser."


-Jordan

haha, its cool, its cool. I love this site.

Oh man, this was my original horrible version of You Get The Wiser. It was originally about a tutor that's jealous of another tutor for getting all smart kids. Bloated, esoteric, and not saying anything? You bet. Speak of this to no one. You Get The Wiser original version by Jordan Cooper All this t...

>>If there really is no way around it, there must be ways to make it work for you. There are several punk and emo bands with a somewhat similar nasalness in the vox. It *could* be a matter of determining what kind of melodies work best nasally. << ?!?! My god. I LIKE my voice. I think it DOES work f...

I get the dumb one and you get the wiser All this time i've spent, working my whole life to get ahead Planning way too hard and being shocked when i get no regard Complications drown out my voice and kick me way down While you float up to your job as President Of The World Whining is the only thing ...

Man this is fun. I have a nasally voice!! I can't lose it!!! It's just how I sing. I sound like a boy. I will never sound like a man. I can't help it! But anyway I'm glad i found this site, its really cool and may get me writing songs more often again. Also I'm amazed by the quality of all the entri...

>>For me, it's got too much hook. It's like a pop song. <<


??? That was the idea. I take that as a compliment. I try to write pop songs. That's my....THING.

And yeah, the whine line was kind of making fun of myself, so yeah, i agree.

thanks,

Hey everyone! I'm new to Song Fight. My name is Jordan Cooper. I didn't even notice a forum until today. Looks like someone thought of the "i get the dumb one" thing before I recorded that in my song...woops. I've been slow on song ideas lately so thought this might STIR UP THE OL' JUICES ...
