Default Cold Hard Soul

Hi all,

Wrote this song over the weekend and I would appreciate feedback.

Also, I would like feedback on what genre this is - I can't figure that out myself!

COLD HARD SOUL
(Words by Jonathan Linton, Music by Jonathan Linton)

Was it a birth defect
Or did you learn
To make your blood run cold
Must be proud of all dislikes that you earn
From your stranglehold

I could never do what you do
And live with myself
Shaping shiftin’, which one’s really you
Don’t loose control
Of that cold hard soul

You can drop the act with me, I know
You’re a soul whore
Each climb leaves enemies below
Careful what you ask for

I could never do what you do
And live with myself
Shaping shiftin’, which one’s really you
Don’t loose control
Of that cold hard soul

I could never do what you do
And live with myself
Shaping shiftin’, which one’s really you
Don’t loose control
Of that cold hard soul

Cold hard soul (ad lib to end)

Except for the 'fade ending' it was really good.

Very good! Love the clean tone! Is that a real amp or amp sim? The fade seemed to be a bit fast to me.

Good job!

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for the compliments. It is a Kemper. Believe it or not, I pulled up a Marshall JVM clean tone in my Kemper (Clean orange direct from Rig Excange) which sounded good and I recorded with it before finding out at the end of the recording that it was a profile without cab (so a preamp tone). It sounded really good so I kept it (maybe the key to a good Marshall clean tone is no cab!). All I did was add a touch of chorus.

I was thinking the same about the fade out. I may extend it...
