Broadjam Artist: Keith Taylor
Song: Stand Up for Peace
Reviewer: Monday Funeral
Positive Comments: I like the synth. It is simple, and really effective. I like the simple construct of the song – the B section works well coming, and the “stand up for what we believe/stand up for peace” is very effective. The subject matter is certainly important and needed. I like the vocal idea – keeping it right in the range of the singer, not stretching it or trying to do too much totally works with your style.
Constructive Comments: I think there is way to much affectation to the vocal and overall production. I can hear this song sounding a bit more modern by keeping the synth – having one acoustic guitar, simple drums and a very dry voice. Think of the Johnny Cash version of Nine inch Nails. It think a real stripped down vocal would really work. To me – the arrangement choice is really what might be considered to take this well meaning song in a different direction.
