Oh! That's interesting, Stone Birds...I couldn't tell that your song was improvised. I am impressed that the song hung together as well as it did given that you were making up the lyrics as you sang them!

The Gravel Road
Listen to it HERE
Move along At a steady pace don’t leave a single trace cause or I’ll find you in the woods in the the caves it’s no good you’ve got a problem I’ve got a problem Let’s get together And make more problems You take your time To follow me well why don’t you just say something those shining lights the street fights did ya get the clue that it was all for you Love is a lie Yes I know But oooh oh There’s really no point It’ll never happen So why oh why Did we feel this way for eachother And didn’t even say a single word Driving on the gravel road We will never do What we’re told The book is burned The dog is dead The car is stolen And so was my bed But that’s okay That’s alright Cause we know how to put up a fight We will sing until the clocks strikes 5 hours after midnight low and behold I am the god that you were thinking of I’m that narcissistic That sarcastic But that’s why you like me Am I that foolish That unobservant Is it true Love is a lie Yes I know But oooh oh There’s really no point It’ll never happen So why oh why Did we feel this way for eachother And didn’t even say a single word feedback would be appreciated

The general theme of the song as i read it is someone(perhaps yourself personally) encountering a new sense of Self-awareness. The song focuses on a fact "love is a lie" and extrapolates from there to relate to a personal situation from the songwriter/singer.
The aspect of self awarness in the song and maybe coming to grips with a "fact" but then circumstantially wishing it were otherwise- seems to be like a conversation with oneself or your conscience maybe? Maybe like the voice of reason? My boss won't stop yakkin at me while I write this so hopefully it loks like a complete train of thought that relates to your song lol. Oh yeah talking about your gravel road song. I don't knoww if this is the kind of input your looking for but as a song writer myself I like the lyrics and thought I'd share.

One recommendation I have is for the vocals. It sounds like you have used your voice in chorus/harmony throughout the song. Have you considered just having some segments where you sing in a strong solo voice without the background harmony? The harmony gives the vocals a droning feel. Also, since you repeat the same lines again and again, sometimes it got repetitive to me. I felt you could increase the volume of some of the background instrumentals that disappear in the mix. For example, were you using some harmonica? I thought I heard it very faintly. Making these background instrumentals stand out more could give more uniqueness to the different segments of the song.

"White Laces"
"White Laces" stream on Soundcloud (this is a link)
Did you need a friend That you could rely on To make you feel Better To heal your wounds When we die Where do we go If you’re in heaven I do not know How could they Say “Go kill yourself” they put you down they singled you out well you showed them, didn’t ya? You took a rope Attached it to the ceiling And there you were When we die Where do we go If you’re in heaven I do not know You were floating above your bed Like an angel with white laces On the day of your funeral they will cry cause they know that they’re the reason that you died from suicide and all of them will stand over your grave When we die Where do we go If you’re in heaven I do not know Birds are singing of your pain for ye white laces, ye blood hath stained |
