    This song isn’t terribly deep or dark, but I think it’s a fitting start to this whole crazy experiment. Given that this song is basically about boredom, and lack of inspiration, I think it’s a great indicator of why I’m doing 30 Weeks in the first place.

    The production is definitely bigger than you can expect for future weeks. I just figured that this one is likely to get the most plays over the coming weeks and months, so it needed to be pimped up a bit more than average.

    Cheers, El.

    Eliot,

    I really liked it and I was fully prepared to tell you if I didn’t. Crank out 30 more that good and it will be tough to choose. Congrats on the challenge. I think it’s cool and I admire you for taking it on. I’ll forward it to John Williams in France for a more expert opinion.

    Song idea is good. However, too many words,
    too idendifiable to you, not generic enough.
    Too many ideas

    What do you need? music for it?
    OR editing of the words

    Yo E-money,

    Not too bad got nothing to compare it too but its a decent song maybe 6.5 outta 10…maybe a 7. Oh ya and if ya need me to play an instrument, I can play the flute like a hot damn!!

    By the way, this is an awesome challenge you have created, very impressive!

    Eliot - I really like the opening guitar riff - it’s catchy and I’ve heard you play it before. I have to agree with pops - a bit too wordy and the guitars need to be brought up a bit and be edgier. I think that a fully completely tone would work well with this song. The changes at the end also take away from the punch. Overall, your melodies are sharp - so are the vocals. Maybe it is just my personal preference to something edgier but there is potential.

    Hey El,

    Coming from someone with no musical talents…I like the song. I don’t think it is too wordy as expressed above. I do think that it sounds like a “typical” Eliot song. I will pass this on to my “peeps”.

  7. on 08 Jan 2008 at 5:54 pm   Daniela

    WOW, you are more talented than I remember! I think I need to hear next week’s before I make an opinion, but I tend to agree with the wordiness. Hmmm, looking forward to next MOnday!

    Hey Eliot,

    That was a GREAT song. Keep up the great work. Can’t wait to hear the next one.

    What a great way to kick off the 30 Week Challenge! I absolutely loved the slick harmonica playing.

    Much enjoyed the lyric focus and the jump of the early stages. I ain’t the pro (surprise!) but…could the chorus/drift of the song be: : “GUESS I AIN’T A SOMEONE CAUSE I DON’T KNOW WHO I ARE?”– SHE? DON’T KNOW WHO I ARE?
    You could really shed a lot of fiery if you laid on that hard edge as James suggested.

    I really liked the lyrics and the harmonica. For some reason I wanted to hear steel guitar but that might be my own preference.

    Hey Elliot,

    I think this sounds great, can’t wait to hear more! Keep up the great work

    I like the idea; very imaginative, very creative. The song struggles between fine and good. It reminds me of “worship music” which tells me it needs to be more dynamic. You are talented… I’ll be spreading the word. I’m not a musician, but I am surrounded by them. Good luck!

    I love this idea. I fully support it! I can’t wait to see how this ends up. I will stalk you if you quit :)

    This song is well crafted and the lyrics are easy to understand and well written. I like the harmonica, great choice. I would urge you to take some chances on your vocal styling…

    Maybe for fun, fill your CD player with music you hate — how would that change your writing/playing?

    If you need help with you project let me know, I’ve got the buzz.

    Sounds good, it kind of lost its momentum for me though around the bridge. I would lose the bridge and maybe modulate the chorus up a key. Of course all songs need guitar solos, haven’t you learned that yet Elliot?

  16. on 13 Jan 2008 at 11:27 pm   Dale

    Hi Eliot,

    I like the tune and production in general. I also like the bridge. Although I think the song overall has a nice flow and moves well from one section to another, from my point of view the chorus itself fails to “go somewhere” enough. Also - and this just a niggly point - the guitar sounds “campy” some of the time. Be careful with the major thirds.

    Great start to an inspired challenge!

    Do we really know the half of anyone’s life? I liked this,Eliot; it was playing and I was in another room ignorant of what “station” we were on. I was moving along with the music until I recognized your voice and came to the radio to see what was happening. You are soooo there!

  18. on 15 Jan 2008 at 2:27 pm   Al

    I take issue with Pop’s comment that it is too identifiable to you. A little “heart” in your poetry makes it ring true, and lets others identify with it. Don’t stop writing from the heart.

    As far as technical merit is concerned, as a campfire strummer, I’m not qualified to comment. All I know is that I like it. For your first song of the series, you’ve set the bar really high.

    Cheers Al

    El,

    Not bad, I still like “Carolina” or “I fall for that one everytime” better. It amazes me that you can be this creative and have every song sound new and original. I’d just strum the same three chords and end up sounding like Tom Petty. If I could change one thing, I’d shorten the time that you hold the word “it” for in “you don’t know the half of eeeeeeet…”. Looking forward to more! Cheers Migs

    couldn’t comment the 1st week as i was busy getting over how impressive you are to me, el! what a great idea/challenge!

    have no musical training but love poetry and words and know what i like. never knew what a poet you are. enjoy your play on words (”underwhelmed”) and enjoy listening to this song. agree that edgier would maybe be better.

    what a talent, el! having trouble not sharing this with everyone i know…

    Did you read my diary!? Well done…looking forward to the rest!
