Cross-eyed bear is in and out of tune throughout. I gotta be honest man it sounds awful, your guitar playing isn't bad but the singing is painful to hear.

I really like the guitar on Foolish, sounds really really nice and refreshing but again your voice is letting it down big time.

There are many many people out there that think they can sing, and sorry if it hurts your feelings, because I don't mean it in a malicious way but you really can't sing

Nah, thats cool i know. I think my voice is better in foolish than cross eyed bear though?

i think my main problem is trying to sustain a note, or changing from a higher one to low, it goes out a bit. If i can learn to strenghen my voice i might be able to sustain longer and stay in tune longer. So that my next target.

Kudos for taking it on the chin

Not many people can take criticism so well done on that. Best advice I can give is to get singing lessons if you're really serious about things. Maybe with some breathing exercises they can teach you how to get more tone and strength

Good luck!

Cheers. I just put another one up. Weaker alone.

Thanks for taking the time to listen and reply man.

Your guitar playing is great, your songs a very good and your lyrics are excellent particularly in foolish.

But I would also recomend some lessons in the singing depatment.... it aint good.

But keep it up, and keep working on it.

Cheers nine. Sorry bout some stuff on other boards where we...may have disagreed... a little, prehaps.

But yeah. If other people think my lyrics are god (especially damo fans, cus they should know) then for me thats the main thing at the moment, ive got a life time to learn how to sing them right?

And glad you like the guitar. I watched the condom song. That was you right? Very good lol (if not you probly have no idea what im talking about)

I've re-done Foolish, not sure if theres much improvment or much difference at all. But yeah, check it out and see what you think.

I wish I could be constructive but I cant to be honest, its just so boring and mumbley that it makes me want to cut off my own ears and then afterwards cut out my eyes just incase they develop a sense of hearing
