Simple Song
This is just a simple song I wrote. I started guitar about a year ago or so and I just wanted some input on this one. The song is kind of staticy but you can hear it well enough. But I hope ya'll like it! 
I could have been a famous singer,
if I had someone else's voice,
But failures always sounded better.

Charming, heartfelt, good subject matter, simple song. I like it. If this is what you can do after a year I look forward to seeing you on TV in the near future!
If your wish is to keep this song basic, and I think you would be right to do that, then just improve the recording. Tekker can help you there, in the 'Home Recording' forum.
Great work,
Ian

Nice job. Work on your recording skills and get a bit more confident in your vocals and it's all good.

This is a very nice song Kid, lyrics are strong and the tune is lovely and simple. Well played. The whole song sounded better (I thought) when I used Adobe auditions to remove that background buzz.
When all else fails, read the instructions.

Keep at it, the lyrics fit the music, you seem to have an early grasp on the song writing thing. Matching words to music is a good way to go

Got to change your avatar name from loser to got a chance or winner kid.
That was pretty good there kid. Too bad the recording had so much noise in it. But you did this very nice.

That's really nice loser_kid. I have quickly put your recording through Audacity (a free program download) and removed some noise from your recording. It distorts it a little because there was a lot of noise on your original, but I hope you agree it sounds better. I also added a small amount of gain to bring it 'forward' more. See if you like it. These things are not difficult, and if you have a look at the Home Recording part of the site you will find lots of help to get you started.
And I agree with Eddie that you should change your username. I understand why you choose a name like that, but calling yourself a negative name will only re-inforce how you feel. Try to find a name like The Kid (neutral), or even newby-wannabee (unsure but positive) as this still reflects how you feel about posting here, but it is positive, and will therefore rub off on you and make you feel more positive...about everything. OK I'm off my soapbox now! Keep it up, kid, you show promise

Thanks for all the comment guys. And about the recording i'm not sure how to fix it I guess. I read the Home Recording and I still can't pin point where i'm getting the hisses from! Grrr. Could possibly be my mic or my set up. But definately thanks for all the comments They are much appreciated!
