Default New Songs from a New Songwriter

Hi Softies,

I'm new to songwriting and don't know if my songs are any good. I've uploaded 4 songs to myspace and would appreciate any comments, good or bad, from you. I played all the instruments and recorded using SONAR 6.

http://www.myspace.com/philphree88

They are pop/rock kind of songs.

"Love our Only Earth (The Environment Song)" is about saving the Earth.
"Hello Hello" is a fun ring tone I wrote for my handphone.
"Moonwalk" is a short guitar instrumental.
"Night Drive" is a silghtly jazzy acoustic instrumental.

Cheers!
Philip

Hi All, thanks for all your comments and compliments. All are noted.

Yes, "Hello Hello" was written in a fun and light-hearted way, with the alternating bass making it sound country/rockabilly, giving a more "human" feel to contrast with the onsalught of high-tech in handphones.

Any pointers?

the nokia one is a bit odd, some clashing chords...but the others aren't that bad. i'm a lyricist so if you have any songs you need lyrics for i can help you ghost write them. .

Hi Evident,

Ya, those are 9th chords.

Thanks for listening to my music. I'll be putting up a new love song soon.
