Lars68 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I'm trying to figure out how to improve some of my songs. The first song I ever wrote has very positive and happy lyrics, but the tempo and fingerpicking style I used to play it in turned it into a mournful, sad song. I thought I should try to do this one in a more upbeat fashion. This is what I came up with. https://soundcloud.com/lars1968/right-here-with-me I don't usually feel good about what I manage to put together, but I'm quite happy with this latest reincarnation. Also, if I dare to say so, my singing is better too How does this one grab you? Lars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparquelito Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Very nice, Lars. Thank you for that. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
62burst Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 This might be the first time I’ve weighed in on a Lars song, and now there’s good reason. . . this is much more listenable; life can be heavy enough without needing to bring one’s self down with D-minor / A-minor songs. Don’t know if you inbibe in the “adult beverages”, but always hoped you’d have have a shot, kick back and let it rip. Vocals got stronger in this mode, too. Congrats.

Avery Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Hey Lars, to me I wouldn't say upbeat...got kind of a nice, wistful vibe which I quite like, Lars. A tune about you discovering the important things in life...Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars68 Posted January 22, 2017 Author Share Posted January 22, 2017 Now we're talkin' ! I'm by no means advocating wine and guitars, but I felt a little inspired, and went back and got the guitar out of the case and tried to improve yet another song. I felt this one deserved a better fate too, so here is another go while I'm at it [biggrin https://soundcloud.com/lars1968/sweetheart-caroline-1 Lars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's a song anout the time when my first son had just been born, living in a small apartment, when things started to make sense. Lars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lars Wine (or scotch) and guitars make a great combination. Two of my favorite things. Throw a girl wo can sing into the mix, and you're getting close to heaven.
