recording music

I started turning my poems into songs and dusted of my old acoustic guitar. I think they sound okay, but when I try to record them onto a computer there is so much static and unwanted noise. A mic is needed. But which one? Acoustic guitar with vocals is what I am trying to record.

Any musos out there who could over a few tips on what to get?

Crush/Crushed – Lyrics

(Chorus)

Love, I don ‘t want you to go,

stay, stay I wish it wasn’t so

fine then, break my heart again

I didn’t match up to your ideals?  Unfortunately I am real

Whatever you choose I understand

Loved, Crush, crushed

 

(VERSE)

Lover I lover you like no other and I just want to say hey, you know how I feel

Well I hope you do, I share a piece of me with you, and

Each day I would like to say, love,

Love you are something I wanted to be, someone I wanted to know,

And again,again, lets go for a walk between the tall trees, and feel small,

Nature call, rant rant, say all I can, I want it all out, no stopping me now

 

(Chorus)

Love, I don ‘t want you to go,

stay, stay I wish it wasn’t so

fine then, break my heart again

I didn’t match up to your ideals?  Unfortunately I am real

Whatever you choose I understand

Loved, Crush, crushed

 

(VERSE)

And now I am here again, I didn’t think it would hurt this hard,

but hey that’s what happens when you open your heart,

I need some time alone, without my cell phone, house days weeks,

With just me to think, And I tell you now,

I would like to think I learnt a think or two from you, and about me

(Chorus)

Love, I don ‘t want you to go,

stay, stay I wish it wasn’t so

fine then, break my heart again

I didn’t match up to your ideals?  Unfortunately I am real

Whatever you choose I understand

Loved, Crush, crushed

 

(VERSE)

Its just nice to feel loved, I am sure I can manage without,

But where is the fun in that, I like to be caught up and crush hard,

Harder than I have ever felt before, build that feeling,

To fall I am willing, is love just a feeling?

 

(Chorus)

Love, I don ‘t want you to go,

stay, stay I wish it wasn’t so

fine then, break my heart again

I didn’t match up to your ideals?  Unfortunately I am real

Whatever you choose I understand

Loved, Crush, crushed

Crush, crushed

Never ever enough

 

Love, I don ‘t want you to go,

stay, stay I wish it wasn’t so

Love, I don ‘t want you to go,

stay, stay I wish it wasn’t so

 

fine then, break my heart again
