Hello everyone. This is one of the first songs I ever wrote.
I recorded the original demo on an old Tascam 4-Track in 1998, and I was never really satisfied with it.
I decided to re-record on better hardware recently.
It's a very simple song, written by a very inexperienced songwriter.
Nonetheless, I'm still proud of it. And I'm glad I went back to it.
-- All the Liars--
Hiding in a dream
Stuck within the past
All the natives said you were
But they didn’t even ask
The cowards burnt a path
And it brought out your worst
All the liars said you’d died
But we were the first
When the lies are true I guess
There’s nothing more to say
Better save it for another rainy day
Brings to mind..
Another day, another view, and a different time
I know that peace will find you, eventually
If you’re not blind
©1998 Michael Odom

A very pretty, simple song. Not everything needs to be complex and grandiose! 😉 The arpeggio-ing guitar and gentle bass really work and the subdued vocal sounds great.
For what it's worth, I'm glad you went back to it too.

Really nice groove to that! Not sure I understand the lyric, but definitely digging the music and melody.
Like the mix too, feels like all the freq ranges are covered, and everything's nice and clear.
Enjoyed it! 😁

Strong REM vibes @samiamiamsam . Not sure if was intentional but it's hard to make out the vocals in the mix. I'm not talking about understanding the words or the enunciation. Just saying volume-wise I think the vocals can be brought more to the front.
I think it all fits together nicely and it was soothing to listen to

Love the instrumentation, well laid, and well mixed.
The vocal can actually come up in the mix.
Nice singing, and the vocals blend very well together.
Enjoying this recording.

I agree with @brucetangmusic regarding the REM vibe. The production sounds crystal clear, and the song itself is very good. Nice vocals and music! I enjoyed listening! 😃

Hola @samiamiamsam
I liked your song, lyrics are splendid, so deep and true!!! I enjoyed the color that wraps the voice, very relaxing, natural, and it fits so well the delivery of the story through your voice!!

This is a cool song. I feel like the lyrics have these lines that are meant to go on and then don't. It is very intriguing!
It has your signature style, which is wonderful, but I would like to hear your vocals better! Excellent vibe and super enjoyable listen!

When you write a good song early on it's no bad thing to return to it with what you know now. This sounds great to me. I really enjoyed it.😀

I really like all aspects of the music -- all the instruments, the singing, the melody, etc. I feel that this is a cool song.
Don't know what the lyrics mean, could use a little more specifics. But I am not saying i don't like the lyrics, I do.
If I didn't have the lyrics in front of me I might have a hard time hearing all the words.
Ends a little too abruptly.
But overall, I'd give this one an A, especially for all the musical aspects.

Awesome!

Glad you went back and redid this. It was certainly worth it. Really nice gentle vibe. Someone mentioned REM and it does have that feel. I have no idea what the lyrics mean lol, but I was happy just to be carried along by the melody.
Did you already go back and increase the volume of the vocal? It sounded about right to me. Maybe could go up a little.
