Hi! Please have a listen to this

I composed this song a couple of months ago, but it's just a short part of it and not yet finished. I play and sing it on my own, kind of a stupid stuff so I give up continuing it. I don't know how people think about this song, anything in there to be improved? I am very frustrated by making songs. moping



And some others of my songs:







The last song I sang in Chinese it also an accordion accompany at the end cool

I could not find your link on the landing page,

If you built the site it is too confusing. If you need some help with the website aspect of what you are doing just ask, I know some stuff about programing!

Sorry I could not be more helpful.

i found your song very sad and yet theres some hope in it really good work from you keep it up am sure you will go farthumbs up
Your voice is sweet,soft by nature. learn to breath,make exersices to help your vocal diction.
and never think your song is stupid. if you find a good manager the right changes would be done. without changing the essence of the feelings you want to show.
i liked it professor
OK, in all honesty -
I agree with minnie. Your voice is very soft & sweet.
Indeed, one I wouldn't mind waking up to. blushing
However, for music in my opinion, you need better annunciation.
It was too hard to understand most of the words being sung.
The piano playing was monotonous.
Other than that, it was wonderful. laugh
How about typing the lyrics out here for us to read ? dunno
Ok so now i can hear the song?

Only problem is the key board is too loud, In any case, You sound good, So whats the prob, Self confidence Maybe?

Keep it up, Everyone has to start some where?
And why cant you upload to youtube?
I dont get it?

I listened to it twice and it has a very predictable (and that's not a bad thing) chord progression. I liked your use of the rocking progression of 7th's into minor and minor 7th's. I think it is a beautiful progression dancing I can tell the keyboard you are using doesn't have velocity so it is impossible to have any expression. If you played it on an real acoustic piano the expression would be there I have no doubt. The more you practice your singing the better your breath control will be. When I write songs, I try to have structure. Maybe you should arrange it to "Intro-Verse1-Verse2-Chorus-Verse3-chorus-repeat chorus-ending" Overall I really did like it a lot. kiss heart wings heart wings heart wings
you have a loverly voice I can see you going far teddybear
haha..thank you thank you all for your compliment as well as critism!

I agree - I did not sing this song so clearly that its lyrics could be understood, yet they are not hard to get through? Maybe the song and my voice were too soft to make every word clearly, haha maybe including my pronunciation problems too? blushing

Ok, here are the lyrics, hopfully you won't get the goose bumps. laugh snooty sick sick
(you're the star, I look at the sky, just want to see you. far away, I wish I could fly to you and stand by you. you're the one, that I miss so much but can't relate to you. how are you, I've been waiting here so long to hear from you! barf barf barf barf barf )

And yes, in addition. "The piano playing was monotonous" "the keyboard sound was too loud"... but no way, other than that it was wonderful. laugh or just 'wander-full'? sleep laugh

Because Youtube is blocked in China.. daydream daydream

You're right, my keyboard hasn't velocity so the song sounds plain. Great, I will try and learn to control my breath. thumbs up "Intro-Verse1-Verse2-Chorus-Verse3-chorus-repeat chorus-ending" this is a good idea. thumbs up I get it.

But honestly I think I pronounced well in some others of my songs given above? those played in accoustic guitar? confused
"How Are You" is definitely my favorite head banger I'm an old heavy metal head and when I'm at the guitar......it shows laugh but when I'm at the piano, it's love songs and power ballads one after another blushing I hope you structure out "How Are You" and slow down the tempo like a David Foster song and repost it heart wings If I heard that song on the radio, I would buy it. You are good at mixing too. I would add a nice 3 or 4 second "hall" reverb to the vocal track and.....blushing By the way, what software do you use for your hard disk recording? Personally I use Reaper. I didn't even know that youtube was not in China. I know Google isn't anymore, but youtube too? That's odd......d'oh laugh heart wings heart wings Keep on performing dancing
I agree with many of Musicman's comments. Beautiful voice, Yan! Kind of haunting in that song, "How Are You". So sad and sweet...I would buy it, too, with the enunciation, some lyric honing, and other issues ironed out! :) cheers I think we all have someone we could sing this song about.
Wow, musicman..thankszzz for the special suggestion! yay
I like all kind of music but I'm more into gothic/dark wave/neo classical... I had a plan to turn this song into gothic sort, wouldn't it be awesome? laugh Actually most gothic music is accompanied with piano or keyboard, but I'm still terrible at playing keyboard. How about you finishing the rest of this song for me? grin blushing I have the accompany part in hand, just need to add vocal into a complete song in future. What you think of this cooperation? But I may try my best to complete it myself as long as I get enough time and ask you for charge. laugh

My software is called Cool Edit Pro, it's very useful for me. I don't add "hall" reverb so often but the "vocal-natural reverb" or "vocal chamber" or "smooth plate" which sound less echos. I like playing with mixing!

Well, not only Yoube but also Facebook and some other websites are blocked over here. I can't explain the reasons at the moment maybe you can search them on the net. dancing Google.com is no more available while google.com.hk is still in use. Not too bad. Have you got any songs made and recorded? cheers
Oh hoho, Calm. My holy name!!! laugh Got caught! blushing
Thank you for praising my song "how are you" hehehe, yes we have some...people to sing this song about! not just someone, and the lyrics are easy and suitable in many cases, this is what I love the most! Speaking of this song, by the way. How are you? grin hug
I have a few songs I wrote over the years, but I am paranoid about performing them. I went to college originally for audio recording and when I took the record production class and learned about copyrights it changed me forever. My instructor told us to never perform any original material until you have copyrighted it because someone else could figure out your song and copyright it and you could never prove it is yours. Kind of scary huh? It happens all the time in the music industry. The songs I have written have very important meaning to me and it would crush my soul if someone stole my work. I will end up getting around to doing a "Poorman's Copyright" when I am done recording all my work. The poorman copyright will hold up in court. Okay I hope I haven't scared you innocent I don't mind giving you some help with "How Are You" with your permission. I just need to hear it a few more time and play along and I will never forget how to play it. It is currently in the key of C right? I messed around with the progression, but I went down a step to B major dancing I don't have it down pat yet, but I will get there shortly. It would sound cool to Goth it up a bit though. Adding a guitar track (acoustic would be awesome) some strings......I'm getting ahead of myself drinking I'll wait until you have it finished. heart wings heart wings
I am very thankful to hear your point of views about my piece of music. I know nothing about copyright, but what you told me sounds very scary. I think it's a bit too early for me to worry about copyright because there is still a long way to go for me in music area. I just wanted to have fun in music and share it with people and meanwhile improve myself. Due to many many many interruptions of external factors, I will have to work on this song in 2 months or so. I don't have any keyboard or guitar in hand right now. So you mean you have tried playing How Are You on the whole with your style? Whenever you get it done and recorded, even just randomly. Feel free to mail me away. I will consider it as a reference. By the way, it's just too hard to find a music partners from the people around me except nerds. Don't worry about the copyright, I am carefree with my own work. It's more important to enjoy music! That's what music is all about. dance boxing
Awesome. I like your innocent approach to your music innocent Many, many many external interruptions? Wow you must be a busy person giggle Once I have learned what you have wrote, I can play around with it and see what you think head banger I do like your style though especially on your piano work. I will keep you posted on what I come up with. All you have for collaboration where you live are nerds? laugh laugh I bet some of them are awesome musicians though angel heart wings heart wings
That's terrific. Musicman, thanks for your cooperation, I am also looking forward to your 'demo' of How Are You. laugh Now I'm more struggling to work on the lyrics than its melody. Ok, I will get hold of you sometime. cheers head banger
Thanks, Canuckken. It's just amazing to see there are so many musicians of different kinds concealing on this site. Honestly, without you guys' support and approval, I would probably forget this uncomplete song behind, because I did think it was plain. But now I have more determination to make this song better.

Long live universal muisc! peace
Loved what heard. Very nice!thumbs up
