All We Could Be

By HoolieBrown on April 26, 2026 7:03 am

Back to roots, scrappy ballads on acoustic but singing WAY out of my comfort zone here. This started as a m8 project and I wrote lyrics to it.  It did NOT work xD.  I tried to make it work, was it drums or other orchestration?  I ran out of ideas so I stripped it down and tracked it direct into my DAW.  Lush reverb and widened the acoustic track. Tuned the pitchy falsetto - may have left some warbles but it's midnight on saturday tongue.

Character driven not autobiographical - break ups are a good fallback to write about when you run out of good ideas.

Lovely. Really nice falsetto, you’ve got some power behind it. And I love how you stripped it all down to just your voice and guitar…I think it’s stronger than it would have been with a full backing. Once again, awesome work. Love your songwriting!

Very nice, I feel it would work great with drums played with brush and a simple bass line.

If you are in for it I could track drums for it this week... I feel I could do something 'decent'.

Thanks so much - you always have such kind words and I truly appreciate you taking the time to listen.

Incredible offer - I didn't do this to a click if that matters.  Hmu on discord or dm me via email form here if you want me to retrack guitar to one or prefer to have the guitar sans vox, I won't have much time to spend on it until next week but I could throw a bassline on it and we can see what happens.

I'll have a shot at it as it is if I can get my headphones monitoring right! I'll get back to you.

really nice melody on this heartfelt tune heart
