Millionaire in the Heart

Hey guys!So...here is a more true rock song as opposed to my alternative ones.This was something really new and fun to do for me, vocal wise.Yes, it is me singing too. For anyone who has heard my other songs that I sing, for I sound considerably different here x)The song has resorted to slightly cliche love type lyrics. Mine of course, need to be a bit deeper :]Basically, the meaning behind the song is a guy who will fall in love with a girl, yet the moment she returns the love, he runs from it. He is afraid of commitment. Anyway, hope you enjoy the song. I enjoyed making it :DLyrics:Boy don’t you understand your game?You made your own special rules, so who’s to blame?You always try to be the best you canThen when they would come to you, you ran-Chorus-You want to work without getting any dirtYou want to feel love without feeling any hurtBut ya can’tYeah boy, you know you can’tYou want to play with fire without getting burnedYou want to have it easy, and so you’ve learnedThat ya can’tOh boy, you know you can’t-End Chorus-You tried to do your bestWhile others would sit and restThen when you thought you would winThe prize went to those who would sinYou tried, you tried, you tried, you triedOh boy, oh lord, you could have died-Chorus-You’re a millionaire in the heartWho won’t give out his promised shareYeah he won’t keep his end of the dealYou won’t jump in that river boy, you won’t work without getting dirt, you won’t hold fire without getting burned You won’t feel love without feeling hurt, you won’t feel love without feeling hurt

I did enjoy it, the voice however did not really suite the accompaniment. I was thinking something more... Xtina + Marilyn Monroe type of voice. The electric guitar was a good mix to textures.... I did enjoy it Haha I LOVED the sudden change in tempo at about 3:25. The foseto (spelling ) was ok, but could be improved upon. The ending was not srong enough in my opinion.

Have fun composing ;D

Ooooohhhh, rougher. I like. You know, if you keep working at your voice and your vocals, you'll have this whole music thing in the palm of your hand :D

This is probably your strongest vocal performance I've heard out of you so far -- the gravelly-ness in your voice didn't feel forced to me, which quite frankly shocks me, since I've only heard your smoother side before. Apparently, all the practice you must have had in the mean time seems to have paid off, and your voice seems stronger for it.

As for the music itself -- I loved. The lyrics are cool (I especially love the line, "You wanna feel love without getting hurt"), and the sudden twist at the end where you change tempo was a really great end. I am not a fan of fade-outs :lol:

Thanks for sharing! :happy:

Hey Daniel, glad you enjoyed it! Interesting as I read your comments and Serge's.

I debated a lot over what to do regarding the vocals. I considered everything trust me haha, but this seemed the best in my opinion. The chorus has that gritty feel to it that needs the rough voice. I am glad you enjoyed the change at 3:25

Once again, that was a decision that I thought about a lot. I kept wondering if I should do it or not, but apparently it was a great decision based off what people tell me

Serge, I swear, your opinions on my songs make my day xD

I don't want to sound full of it or anything, I simply share my opinion that this is probably as you said, the strongest vocal performance I gave

I believe I found the key to doing that as well. I have one headphone on, so I get that feeling that the music is really there and I can easily get into it, and one headphone isn't on, so that it allows me to stay a lot more in tune.

Ya know, I am glad you feel the gravelly-ness wasn't forced. I often will joke around with people and play around with MANY voices haha. I have done that one before and I thought, that actually might work for a song...so I will give it a shot. Glad you felt it worked

Really glad you enjoyed the music itself as well! I always make that first, so good to know it is well received. The lyrics took forever to write haha. Also, I am definitely not a fan of fade outs, so luckily you will NEVER hear one from me haha xD

Thanks for sharing your opinion on the song
