“Simpler Days” – new song underway

or how about:

"give me the simpler days when sidewalk cracks were enemies of mothers' backs"

ha

this is like a game now.

I like it a lot overall! Good first first and tune. I like Jesse's suggestions for other verses. Especially the Easy Bake, Oven.

Perhaps another one like

"give me the simpler days when all our dreams weren't tangled up in what life means"

or something not at all like that.

:-)

This song sucks. You should just quit music all together do something less creative like....computer programming or something. JK. I like. I can tell you've been listening to more indie stuff. The style of this song is shifting away from the other stuff you've done, but its still retaining alot of "Ian"ness. I think the really quick kick drum beats and the entire drum beat as a whole give it a Postal Service feel which I like. Definitely put a verse or verses in there and maybe more lyrics for the second and third chorus so it doesn't get too repetitive. Also more **** sounds in the verses. Something really ******* and *******. You know, like, exploding worms or something.

"Give me the simpler days when our biggest crimes were scuffles on the playground and taunting rhymes."

"Give me the simpler days when instead of heartache, the girls served cookies from their Easy-bake, Oven."

Good sound but needs a few more words: Simpler days with baseball cards and ice cream
bards with only different flavors their mission and July fireworks an everyday vision! Baseball cards........... only decision .......video games .......

reminds me of the background here around 2:53:

P.S. I really like the lyrics that you have so far. There aren't many songs that I listen to now that actually make me reminisce about things like this song does.

I definitely hear the Third Eye Blind influence in the lyrics. I do think it needs a verse and more lyrics, instead of the repetition of lyrics. Catchy song, all together. Not a huge fan of the background vocals, though.

Now, after reading your last post - work on finishing this song, before starting another project of yours =)

I'll come over and help with ideas if you want.
