Pacland's Philippine Boxing Forum

Fellow Paclanders, please tell me if I will pass as a Song Writer:

A good song will always sound good no matter how imperfect the arrangement is and how ordinary it was interpreted.

This question about my ability is haunting me for years now. It has to be settled here. I need your honest opinion.

Your opinions will be my guide to continue or not with my goal.

Tanong: Papasa ba akong song writer?

My few selected compositions:

Thanks bro for giving me a piece of your mind.

These are only demo videos.
I’d rather have it sung by a professional.

I know I can’t pass as a singer but I hope I can pass as a song writer.

Paclanders, I need comments for all age groups to see where my songs would fit in.

This serves as a small survey for me to assess if I will continue or not with this little talent I have.

Your polite remarks is highly accepted.

Honest opinion:

Good try! I didnt listen to everything, I just listen if it will capture me. I suggest to get a better singer to get good judgement on your compositions. You're just an average singer, nothing really special.

Make your Melody as simple as possible, coz your just an average singer, just composed like folk songs or funny songs first. Then if you composed a Ballad and if u think it could be a hit., then find the best singer u can find & record it with that person. That's just my suggestions.

Art cannot be judged bro, if that's how you interpret or express yourself then its all good, there is no right or wrong when it comes to art.
If you ask me though, what is the most important characteristic of an art or music, I say Emotional Content.
Basing on the songs you've shared to us, the performance didn't sound natural, did you record all the instruments one at a time using a PC or Multi-track Recorder? or was it a live band backing you up? The reason why I asked, cause if you can't perform it comfortably and naturally, it will be hard to evoke the emotions that the song contains.

You should try recording yourself singing and playing at same time, if the song can stand out by itself without any other instruments, then you have a good song, if the song has emotions and can move you and other people when they hear it, then I say you have a great song.

Here is me singing a great song by Pearl Jam

Honestly bro, okey naman pero kulang kunti sa poetry ang mga lyrics. Medyo funny ang labas hindi serious.

It's a good start.

But they sound more like a of late 70's.

Try to hear the simple composition by Bobby Flynn here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKRGnaYoEWc . The sound is pretty much contemporary.

I can sing this for you. Just PM me. You can re arrange to make it sound more modern.
