I Write Music And I'd Be Incredibly Appreciative If Someone Listened

Hey Everyone, I’m a relatively young singer-songwriter who released his first ever studio recording not too long ago and I’d love to get some constructive feedback. I'd be incredibly appreciative if somebody had some time to throw out a few ideas or point me in the right direction for a fitting choreography for the vibe.

Link to song: https://soundcloud.com/dylanbriscall/dylan-briscall-walk-these-tracks

The song feature the journey of an individual taking the journey down an old railway line to somebody worth the long trek. I appreciate you taking the time to listen and I’d be happy any questions you may have.

Cheers,
Dylan

FUCK OFF

How's that?

now that's just rude

*plays track*

never mind

The I Make Music board might be a better place for this sort of thing but it's usually for people who post regularly to these boards otherwise.

Never forget. You were born to create and contribute.

And no matter how fantastic you are (and let’s be clear — YOU ARE!), not everyone is going to love you, or what you make.

Rather than let that fact hold you back, use this episode to strengthen your soul so you can keep creating and moving ahead.

the artwork is pretty good but it would be even better if it was more literal, like if it related to the lyrics more directly than it currently does. food for thought!

i think instead of having the person walking down railroad tracks, the person should be walking on your musical tracks. maybe have multiple people walking? maybe people walking dogs on the tracks - both the railroad tracks and the musical tracks. Lots of dogs. People like dogs. I like dogs. Do you like dogs? What is your favorite breed of dog?

Didn't you already make a thread like this

I think walking down a railway track is reasonable, but a canal path would be a lot better. That way its not just worth it to reach somebody worth the long trek but its worth it in its self, a genial meander with vibey scenery. I'm imagining it now, its a good feeling

Just had a great new idea!!

How about a blind person with a guide dog walking the tracks? You know, as your music is the guide to the listener, the dog is guiding the person through this unfamiliar landscape.

i would like to see a dog driving an old-timey steam train, maybe leaning out of the side of the cab a bit with his ears flapping in the breeze

walking down a railway track with your guitar in a shitty gig bag is nagl, tattered hard case or gtfo imo

maybe something more like this

and the guy walking towards the train could step off the tracks for a moment and doff his cap to the dog as he went by

I think the dog angle is a mistake, they are too loud and upset the bucolic reverie which I try to inhabit.

That said if you mixed in their barking low in the mix, it could work, to offset or even distract from the music

What if the dogs are paddling the canal boat

i don't know that sounds a bit far-fetched

who put a giant dick on the railroad tracks, rude

there is a hauntological quality to this image that really encapsulates the modern era. You should definitely incorporate it.

you're the one calling dylan briscoll a giant dick - THAT'S rude imo xp

what if all railroad ties were guitar strings tuned to the same note? a high-speed train could create a unbelievable glenn branca racket, tearing across the countryside. just something for you to think about dylan

don't listen to Karl, the dog angle is the way to go.

sounds like a boredoms show waiting to happen, a+ would attend xp

one thing i've noticed about trains is that they don't create a loud noise as they tear across the countryside. imagine if trains made loud noises, hm

if you're not into dogs, ducks also have great potential

it's true though, the old-timey dog idea is a winner, and probably much easier to pull off

the dog angle is the way to go.

that dog angle in full

Dylan I think you kind of buried the lede by not sharing your instagram with us in the initial post

https://www.instagram.com/dylanbriscall/

if it does end up being a duck, maybe the duck bill flows up and down in the breeze as it leans its head out the window. the bill flows up and down like when you stick your hand out the window and bend and swerve it around in the wind. it creates a warm nostalgic feeling, but with the new twist of featuring a duck conducting a train

you could definitely do a pretty easy photoshop with a family of ducks crossing the road in front of you in that pick where you're sitting on the road, though you probably want to be holding a guitar in that pic. That way people know you are a musician ... a musician that appreciates ducks.

I'm onboard the duck train, definitely an improvement on dogs

lonely guy just thinkin baout things

gosh, what happened there! We would never let our Asda get in a state like that

i see we're teaching Dylan to suck eggs

Which brings us back to the hottest track of 2016 actually

Total Toilet Duck

owls definitely were associated with the 2000s - the hipster avian, but I think the duck is the ascending avian of the 2010s

Duck is on my team

The Duck Decade would be a great album title, Dylan.

Ok so lets go with a duck, but how are we doing to help him fix the Asda, where is he going to shop?

I think the duck is the ascending avian of the 2010s

https://media.tenor.co/images/d6f39c8595b15c886ff67971b8bb1b53/tenor.gif

the duck? Didn't know that ducks shopped!

how do you make a duck shop? put it in an asda until its bill bithers

*withers but bithers also kinda works

how did my asda get so clean?

As a wholly owned division of Walmart, Asda is not required to declare quarterly or half-yearly earnings, but it submits full accounts to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission each November. And, even though Asda is a subsidiary of Walmart, it has more autonomy than any of the other supermarket chains within the Walmart International division, and has retained its own British management team and board since the 1999 takeover.

"The 1999 Takeover" would be a good EP title to lead into the release of The Duck Decade, perhaps

The 1999 Takeover sounds like the title of a rap album though, not the sincere upbeat guitar songs that dylan has branded himself with

man, about an hour and a half ago i thought "i'll just make a quick dog-conducting-a-train image, should take 5 minutes or so"...i'm STILL working on it, and it STILL sucks.

so you win, dylan briscall, you win

whatever, i can't waste any more time on this. i have better things to do. like looking for a duck and a better train conductor hat

LOL

YES

mr briscall may not recognize it but that is quite an achievement

Was gonna say! For a second asked myself the question, "but does Mr. Briscall deserve this honour?" untill the answer "He probably doesn't!" struck me, which made it all the more worthwhile tbh.
