I like this song allot--it expresses my sentiments towards conflict. No truth except the truth of conflict right? lol. Anyways, I only have two critiques this time for you:
1. your a little too repetitive in the last few verses. I expect that you would keep the song somewhat simple, so you have to have some variation--even if that variation is just in the way you say the lines. Quote:

Thanks, too, for reading and for the feedback. I do think the song (like most of mine) is probably too long. Once I have it recorded I'll be able to listen more impartially and decide better whether I should remove the repetition you note in the final stanzas. At least how I sing the words, the "this" and "loses" (to me) don't seem too mismatched because I emphasize the "is" and "es" parts of the words while singing them. Thanks for your comments! I hope all's well with you. --Erica

I'd really like to hear your songs played, I'm wondering how the most recent ones sound.
Honestly, I think some of the words you're using, such as "shield" are corny. But you know me well enough to know that I like more subtle terms and such. Your songs are really long, too, how long is this one? Is it slow or fast? Curiosity. ^_^ |

AwwSugar,
Thanks for reading! Yes, "Common Ground" certainly has a high corny-factor rating, since it is describing gladiators. Fighting. Preferably naked. Together. (Just kidding). I agree with you about the corniness. It isn't a subtle song. And, yes (sigh) my songs tend to be long. "Common Ground" is probably 5 minutes. I haven't recorded it yet because I've been working on my "Festivus" song for the MusicBanter 2009 Festivus song contest In answer to your question, "Common Ground" is mostly fast. I'm planning to record two sets of drums, kind of like in the group Kylesa, to have a very strong rhythm. That's my little headnod to The Unfan, who likes Kylesa. But before I get to recording "Common Ground," I have to work on the "Ya" song for you! Let's see, my preliminary recording of "Ya" (now called "Evergreen") is...3:56. So, under 4 minutes! That's pretty good for me! --Erica

Hey, Sugar,
Well, thank you for asking! Somehow I thought you'd already heard me, but maybe not! (I still remember your voice from *your* video where you are a singing silhouette.) I just posted "The Festivus Pole Dance Song" on my MySpace (VEGANGELICA on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads), where I have uploaded several songs in various stages of completion. Below is the link to the Youtube video I just finished today for the MusicBanter Festivus Song Contest. I was pleased to get it done in time because today is Festivus! If I had more time I'd edit it (cutting out part of the middle section)...but here's the song in its entirety. ~ Erica

A joke? You mean...do I really have a Festivus pole and do pole dancing in my free time not spent on MB? Oh, absolutely. We have a very Happy Festivus in my house.
