Musician Forum - Band Discussion Board - BandMix

Hey sans I can't send it to you, I have the freeby plan on Bandmix so I posted it. I added couple lyric parts to make fit in the progression that came to mind, if the curse of unintelligible lyrics on the added parts strikes againg, let me know and I'll post them.

I hope you are in a good mood.

haha I liked that line.

Cool accent.. it sounds really good. Especially the "backing vocals/dub" touch.
Makes me wanna wear an eyepatch, wield a sword and yell "Arrrrrr" xD
Sorry bout that.
Oooo the outro thing sounded cool. I thought you were gonna play a lil solo, but it came to an end. Oh well, I liked it

Andragon as usual your wit makes me smile, bring out the eyepatch the cutlass and let's drink up a few pints of Rum.

Thanks for your comments, for a metal fan you seem to have a quite open mind, I wish I could write heavy metal stuff but I'll leave that to younger guys like you.

There is a G-tar solo in the song after the first chorus already, didn't want to solo again at the end so not to make the song redundant and too long.

Fret.. I'm almost at a loss for words. It's really different, production is nice, you really layered a lot in there, yet made it sound so fluent and simple...

Nice work really. I tried to go for the depressing/dismal sound, but the phrasing of the lyrics remains a mystery with my piece. I was hoping someone with good vocals would lay something on top of it, assume those lyrics could even fit.

I am in a good mood now. The additional lyrics are really a good fit.
Just that piece I could not find for myself.
Can " I " use "your" lyrics Fret ?
Kramer, You were musicaly closer to the original feel of the song I had running through my head that day. The lyrics will fit. If you examine the songs I wrote for NKF vs the ones Ray and the others wrote. You will see that most of my stuff is really abrupt / couse in nature.
I now feel motivated again to attempt to put the lyrics to music as well.

Are you going to try and put lyrics on it>? I'd offer to make any necessary changes, but I've just got too much going on right now with other projects locally.

I can try to tab it out so you can see the notes/structure if you want.

How bout just some chord progression. And I'll play with it at my own "feel" for the song. And we will see what we get that way?

hmm.. me being self taught this may take a bit

intro: (acoustic part)

(play 3 times)
C#m7
Aadd9

(play once)
Bmaj9sus
G#m

Verse: (acoustic notes, electric just plays power chords of same notes)
(repeat to fit)
C#m7
Aadd9

Bridge:
(recorded as once, should have been a repeat - play twice)
Bmaj9sus
G#m

Chorus: (electric- power chords/ clean tone just follows same progression)
(repeat 6 times)
C#5
Emaj7 slide into E5
Amaj
C#5
Emaj7 slide into E5
Gmaj

End chorus (when I let you down part, same repeat as bridge)
Bmaj9sus
G#m


repeat verse, bridge, chorus, end chorus, then repeat intro x2 for solo.


Looked like tabbing it out would take years, so I just gave the notes and arrangement. Hope it's sufficient.

Yes, That'll do fine. A general feel of how you arranged it as you've posted should allow me to extrapelate. Hope my wife dont catch me
Thanks, I intend to work on it then run it through the band to see what comes of it. I'll post her back up when recorded.

Kramer don't underestimate yourself, I would not call your progression depressing at all, I like those power chords feel I have few tunes like that myself I find them enjoyable to listen and play I think your version is more in tune with what Sans is looking for, I went in a different direction after listening to your version and that of Zip, I think the lyrics can assume a more profound meaning with you guys feel.

Sans use the extra lyrics... if you can understand them... you deserve to use 'em.

Sans sorry for nor leaving room to add to the song, but as I was saying to Kramer and Zip I think what you had in mind for your song is what these guys came up with, that's why didn't want to post it at first because I knew I took the song in a direction away from you idea.

Everything you guys have done with a few wacky lyrics just amazes me.
And been helpfull.
Just goes to show what a diverse musical community we really are.
I hope that you have each enjoyed the participation as much as I.

I love doing stuff like this sans-

And Fret, I was shooting for a combination of depressing, sad, mysterious, and a slight tinge of hope. That's kind of what I envisioned when reading the lyrics.

To me, overall, music is all about expressing emotions through words and sounds. Trying to nail it is always a challenge, and we can experience so many mixed emotions at the same time, that music itself seems infinite in it's possibilities.

I totally agree. Music is the expression of emotions.
Mine often boarders on anger / depression at the outset and end in joy / hope. With a lot of help from my friend Ray our songs generally have a progressing of Fall to Grace if you will.

A few years back a friend of mine told me I had this bizarre ability to write music that was both depressing and happy at the same time, He really seemed to like it.

I wrote a ton of those types of riffs/short songs, if you want to use any of it, I would be happy to record a long clip of idea after idea for you to pick from.

Just pay me some royalties if you get a #1 hit out of any of them

Let me know

I would not mind hearing them. Dont know if I would or could use them though. Lyrical content for me most often just seeps through some strong emotion I am experiencing at the time. Thats why I feel if I dont write it or play & record it immediatly it's lost. Forever!
It,s not something I think about and construct over time, it just happens BAM, then its gone again. Ray somehow is good at "cut n paste" ie Taking my psychotic ramblings and making complete thoughts. We really are a team.
