finished (mostly) new original

[AFurth]

it's called "summer sun"

here's a yousendit, but the song is available for .99 on my new website ( http://www.andrewfurth.com ) - wow i feel like kind of a tool/big shot saying that - can't decide which. haha.

if you like it, go ahead and give it to your friends and then send them to the site... thanks!

It just played automatically when I went to the site. Cool site by the way.

The song is solid, but it seems like it is missing something. Maybe some light percussion?

Good stuff. :thumbsup

oooo, i like that idea - like just a little bongo in the backround

[AFurth]

you guys read my mind. I'm looking around chicago for a player - light percussion is exactly what im talking about. bongos, dijembe, percussional effects, etc. well see how that goes.

right now, im at school in boston and my roomate is a percussionist - we're playing - and my sax player is in chicago without me. but ya - that's the idea... you guys know anybody in chicago haha?

hey man, stuff sounds great. where in boston are you? i play with a band from northeaster called project 1.9 www.onepointninemusic.com maybe if you find some players and work out what you're looking for we could hook up for some shows. you got any dates coming up? id love to check it out

hell ya, i love your stuff. you guys sound great. i'm working on getting some players, but its been a struggle - not much of a music scene here in chestnut hill (i go to BC). if you guys ever play a smaller venue or a stripped down show and you're looking for an opener or something - i'd love to play.

as for dates coming up, i actually have a show in cambridge on tuesday (kinda far, but at a cool place) at the old house of blues boston - tommy doyles ( www.tommydoyles.com ). its 21+ so im gonna be strugglin on attendance anyways, so if you wanted to stop by, i'll bet it'd be a good time. get in touch:

It's alright Andrew, with your musical talent, you must have pussy falling outta your pockets. I forgive you.

PS-If you are ever in Libertyville, we are gonna jam. Deal?

haha... absolutely. this thread is not going as well as i'd planned, though.

Well my views to the new version: (gonna be brutally honest cuz as a musician thats how I want others to critique me)

Once again, Im not diggin the sax. It makes your sound too classical. The only song I seem to like that guy on is the wind. I am disappointed the lyrics have "evolved" so much. I like the older lyrics alot. One thing though, I am glad to see that it is still the same "base" song if that makes sense. It seems like the original core hasn't changed that much.

Ya, those original lyrics were basically improv-ed, though. I wanted to write something that kinda reflected the way I felt more emotionally... if that makes any sense. damn im getting deep tonight.

but I absolutely appreciate your honesty. you and nakedguydmb are seriously the only people who brutally honestly critique me for some reason. keep it up. the only way to get better is to hear what people have to say.

so you liked the more raw lyrics?

Good Call. I don't have much time in the next couple of days, but when I do I will listen to em all. Maybe even purchase a few if I enjoy them, which means I will prolly be dropping some cash haha. Andrew, keep on writing man...you have some lyrical genious that is for sure.

i've been in a writing mood lately.

haha i'll never get big with the stuff i have now. its too emotional and introspective. but ive been starting to write some more upbeat interesting themes so that i can reach out to a wider audience, but still kinda share my philosophy. i mean, that's all music is sharing one person's semi-different philosophy - dave is a dude that just wants to chill out, stop all the fighting, stop all the dumb stuff, and respect other people. he shares that philsophy in everything he writes...

however - you can definately come guest with me. i'll introduce you as a former dmb diehard with me. haha - i dunno if that's badass (like deadhead) or lame... i guess we'll find out.

It's badass. But good badass, not like stupid badass(think thread over in nDMBc.) The one thing I would suggest is maybe vary it up a little bit, I mean like(don't take this the wrong way) all of your songs are pretty upbeat. Maybe try and write a darker song? I understand that you have that Imagine Yourself song which seems lyrically darker than the rest of your music(Atleast I think so) but maybe try writing some darker music as well.

how's this for dark? just starting to record it. its like a character sketch of a guy thinking about suicide being easier than living. just me thinking about life being fleeting and shit

you spread your wings
the air is rushing past your face as you look out
you see the smiles
you never had
(to be without)

it was nothin like the first time
and now you feel like nothings left to give
i cannot see that
that its time
youve just about had enough

chorus:
i just need one more day
to fly
too bad its gone away
but i
dream of things
i hit the ground
so i can spread my wings

the lonliness seems like my only friend
when youre running out of things to make you smile
and you miss it all once its gone
but you never think of that right now

just so happens that
when you think about tomorrow
it never feels the same
as when you wake up that nex tday
its dark outside

chorus...

bridge:
there it goes again you see
never lets you try again
you're running out of daylight this time
it just seems like it should be

should be again...

chorus x2



actually. on second listen. i think ima put it on the website right now. you can listen to my rough draft. haha

How long does it usually take to update? I think it looks pretty solid so far.

took me a while... had to get my pizza haha. its up. tell me whatchya think. it switches to major in the chorus which makes it sound a little more upbeat, but i feel like it does a good job creating irony of such a dark subject.

[daraidaaa]

I cant get your site to load :(

[AFurth]

I cant get your site to load :(

fuck. whats your connection speed? what the fuck.

ill just ysi. send it to a bunch of people and send em to the site haha.

[daraidaaa]

I have Satellite and your site is the only that wont load. I already have burned some of your stuff for some friends though. They seem to have dug(is that right?) it.

[AFurth]

well take the d/l, but tell me when and i'll take it down - id rather have people goin to the site, ya no?

the link was bad -

www.andrewfurth.com

[daraidaaa]

Im downloading it now as we speak. And as I listen to your cover of #40 ;) haha.

[daraidaaa]

www.andrewfurth.com (http://www.andrewfurth.com)

I got the d/l but I think that it may still be a bad link or something...it won't work for me. Then again, my computer is a porn pounding machine so not that many things work right on this beast. :shrug

[AFurth]

well that sucks... and my voice sounds shitty on that 40 cover. i can do better haha.

but ya - the site's now workin fine for me. that's confusing.

[daraidaaa]

I like the song. You might have to hook me up with a tab of it. I think the recording is a little too strong though. The first line, "you spread your wings" seems kind of rushed, and really loud to me. I think the first verse you don't really mesh with the music well(if that makes sense) but come the last 2 lines of the verse and into the chorus it really starts to pick up and fit together really well.

its, again, really raw. but i think i'll leave that on the site and play it at a few shows, then get it together and record it again.

thanks for the interest, man. this music thing is fun because people like to listen. good shit.

drinkin time.

Bold #1-No problem, thanks for not taking the negative things so bad though. Like I understand I am really hard on some people and I feel kind of bad, but it's glad to see you take it and use it, not let it piss you off.

Bold #2-Fixed. Oh the days of being in High School

haha... i came back because my roomates have vaginas and take about 45 minutes to get ready.

however - dude, i'd rather hear positives than negatives. positives don't help at all - though they're nice to hear.

as long as its true, tell it like it is haha
