Lalo5 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 So I wrote a song a few days ago and then let my friend listen to it. Says it sounds trippy and a lot like Radiohead but it’s really good. Should I discard it because it sounds like Radiohead? Anyone want to have a listen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violet Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Well, lots of people like Radiohead, so I don't see why that would be an issue. If it was an issue of it sounding too much like Radiohead, you shouldn't let that stop you. When Muse first came out, they were accused of being a lot like Radiohead, and that didn't stop them from making a successful career as they were. If you want people to hear it, then go for it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyric Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Well, it's not like you're selling it or putting it on an album anything. You can go ahead and post it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle131 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Amazing progressions with that reverse-y effect. Almost reminds me of a not-weird Like Spinning Plates. Those arpeggiated piano riffs near the middle are pretty cool too. Kind of reminds me of something Matt Bellamy would do since he's the kind of arpeggios lol. Good stuff though! It does sound like Radiohead a little bit but who cares? I like it man, I'll give your other stuff a listen when I get some more free time!

Eagle131 Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Eh I think they'll be alright. I like everything. I don't know a whole lot about other bands that write ambient music to be honest. But when I first started writing, that was the kind of stuff I wanted to write. You know, adding lots of reverb and cool chord progressions and what not. Turns out I just became another acoustic/modern composer. Oh well! Give my myspace stuff in my signature a listen some day, maybe you'll like it, maybe not! Oh and, you're welcome haha.

Lalo5 Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 I don't know why but I have to post this other song I wrote and if you have nothing to do pleas tell me what you think of it honestly. One day I think it's really good the next it's corny as hell. http://rapidshare.com/files/217949564/Hearts_Vendetta__early_.mp3.html I recorded the vocals at two o clock in the morning and it's a very early version of it, need to know if i should take it more seriously. I really need to stop openly sharing my shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nothingtoseehere Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Ah, I have this question... Cuz I wrote this song the other day and a few weeks later I heard a song by Beirut and there's one small part in my song that sounds like a significant part of Beirut's song. ! I dare say it sounds a bit identical! I was thinking of changing my song a little but I can't cuz I like that bit too much! What to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
