The cycle

[claudiocaldas]

Hi!
I finished this production, the music is mine and with a marvellous lyrics (in portuguese) did by Alexandre Lemos. But, I know, the singer is not marvellous...
Hope you enjoy and feel free for comments.

Here is a google translation for the lyric.

The truth begins a lie
Only then does it become true
By force of goodwill
The truth
Depends on who believes
The wish was indifference
Of those who think they have no desire
By the force of the hug and the kiss
The desire
Depends on who wants
The beginning already shows tiredness
In the piece after the beginning
It's the end turned upside down
Is the marked price
It is a cycle that never ends
It is the fate that only repeats itself
The destination that is not intended
Serpentine turning confetti
It's the night in the shadow of the day.
It is the dark side of the moon
It's the thread of what you do not know
It is the cycle that perpetuates itself
It is the cycle that is not renewed
It's the empty pit forever.
It's the perfect crime, no proof
It is the fruit of God in Mary
Forgiveness is the door of hell
Sin is the one who baptizes us
Summer is the height of winter
By the cycle that eternalizes us
The truth begins a lie
Only then does it become true
By force of goodwill
The truth
Depends on who believes
The beginning already shows tiredness
In the piece after the beginning
It's the end turned upside down
It is the marked price feature

Hi!
After modifications (thank you for your silence, why showed me how bad the track was) I posted a new one.
I ask your pardon, I made this with a desktop microphone (US$5) and a cheap headphones, so I know it will been better with others resources. The positive side is I learned a little bit more about mixing and mastering, with my searchs.
I hope you enjoy and, always, feel free for comments.

Neat music man. You're on a roll.
From my observation, your mixing and mastering has improved quite a good bit.
And that bass sound, is really cool.
This entire track, sounds like if it's from, some famous classic music, from the 70's etc.

One thing I noticed, is that after 25 secs, the music especially the bass sound, slightly overpowers
the singers voice.
Tip: My suggestion, is to slightly Lower the volume of the bass and some of the other louder sounds
a tiny tiny bit, so that the singers voice, will be clearer and easier to hear.
Because the track is already loud enough, doing it this way, will save you from volume clipping problems.
And if after doing this, you realise that the vocals are still not loud enough, then slightly raise the volume of
the vocals.

Many points for the singer. His voice suits this style of music well.
Nice work Mr. Claudio.

Wow I wasn't expecting to find MPB here, Brazil yay

I think that you could make your voice a bit louder and use a better synth instrument for the guitar section. Nice job

Hi!
I would like to thank the auditions and the kind words, especially those of the Brandy that were very intense and motivating. I inform that I followed the Brandy's and Kaze's suggestions to reduce the bass a little, to raise the voice and to change the timbre of the guitar (did it get better? Maybe the other guitar was better ...).
Here is the link for you to hear the changes and, if you wish, give your opinion again.

Once again I thank you and, of course, the incentive I receive is very important!
