Well now you're being logical, that just won't do.

what, you think singing doesn't scare the shit out of me??? you just have to do it.

eh... singing scares me :)

i like it a lot, hibbs. you shouldn't doubt your songwriting at all. and quite frankly i'm not sure why you shouldn't sing it on the recording.

Paperback Sci-Fi

Here is the song, Paperback sci-Fi. I know my singing sucks I'm not worried about that but hopefully the melody is decent? Let me know what you think and lets decide on a final line up of songs for this project asap. I'm thinking 2-4 songs right? Also I've got a second overlaying guitar part worked out for the verse of the song but no way to really record it until I get Sonar figured out. Oh and you won't hurt my feelings if your not impressed it's really only like my second venture at song writing so maybe use constructive criticism if you hate it? Revised lyrics are underneath the video.



Paperback Sci-Fi

My tired heart is dressed in red
My tired heart is dressed in love
Like paperback sci-fi I know this isn't real
I turn the pages but I can't beleive the lies

I'm sorry susan, I'm so damn sorry (x4)

My tired heart is dressed in red
My tired heart is dressed in love and razor wire
There is a gear inside my stomach
And when it turns there is perfect motion

I'm sorry susan, I'm so damn sorry (x4)

I'll dress in Red for the funeral.
I'll Sing this dirge for all of us.

july

That sounds great Micah. I'll bring an acoustic I don't think I'll have room for the rest of my rig plus I doubt Tracie wants a rock concert while she is recovering from having a baby. Also glad you liked the artwork, Liz didn't really dig it, so I was sort of wondering if anyone else was going to get it.

hey guys. nice artwork hibbs. july might work, micah. i'll be gone from july 13th-28th paying my dues and visiting the family back home in florida. pretty much any other weekend in july could work i think though. let me know if you're feeling up for it.

NATE & JESSE

Hello my friends... Nate what is your schedule in june / july ? I know you said your were moving. Have you moved yet ? Jesse... I talked to ben last night. He said that you guys are coming here in July. I am definately going to see you guys then which will be very cool. I was just thinking that perhaps we might be able to find a little time to play some of these songs together is person.
I dont know if this is a possibility or not for all of us but in the event that I could rent a studio here but have nate bring his gear and be the producer I thought maybe would could work on some of these songs that way. I know you guys didnt really care for the furmina cd ( i thought it sucked too) but the drummer on that CD is actually really talented. Well it was just an idea. Nate I will be able to come in July if that works. I am sorry about the delay it's just that I am not completely ready to travel that far yet due to the surgery. I am going to attempt to wrtie a second verse for the Madagascsar. Do you guys feel that song fits with the other material we have so far ? Jesse are we going to use Paperback Sci-fi for the albu ? Do have anything recorded for that song? Nate do you have any songs written that you would like to go on the album ?

Micah

CD Cover Page

I spent a good amount of time working on this so let me know what you think. I'll try to work on a few more covers in the same style if you like this one. That way we have some choices. I'm hoping that if these songs come out well we can get some nice looking CD's pressed for us. You can click on the image to view it in larger size. Unfortunately photobucket/blogger still kill the resolution the actual image looks a lot better and I can email it to you if you need it.

hey guys. you're right hibbs. i need to get together with micah to lay down his gtr and vocals before we can really start much else. these are really your songs, klotz, so you need to be at the beginning of the creation. after that comes drums and bass which i don't really need you two around for. but then i would need to get together with you, jesse, for your parts. what say you?

the plan?

Hey, I was just reading your post below and I don't think the three of us will be able to get together this summer. I thought the plan was for you and Nate to get together first and record the base of the songs then me and Nate would get together to work on adding my guitar which I need to work around your vocals anyway.

Sonar 6

Glad to have you back Micah! Your new lyrics are interesting. Nate, I've got a few questions when you have time. I just started working with Sonar 6 Producer Edition. I'm hoping I can use this software to compose and record music since I don't have a band at the moment. Any suggestions on learning how to use it? I know I can figure it all out but I also know it's going to take some time and probably cause me some serious headaches. This is a big jump from Acid 2.0 Pro. Also I need to pick up a Midi Controller. 25 key would be fine and I'm on a pretty tight budget, any suggestions? I was looking at the Alesis Photon x25 or maybe the Line 6 Toneport. That's only because I've bought other gear from both Alesis and Line 6 not because I have any actual experience with the controller. Thanks!

The Madagascar

I reworked the lyrics a little bit. I think this works better.....

The Madagascar

vs. 1
a long time ago
the madagascar sailed across the sea
she was a spledid ship
made for human trafficking
a beautiful ship commissioned by the queen
and the cargo in her belly
paved the way for....

chorus
Human Suffering
Human Suffering
what a tragedy that sugar dont come free

Human Suffering
Human Suffering
a lot of things are made easier by human trafficking !


Well guys this is all I have so far. I think this works a little better than the earlier post. Anyways I really am looking forward to hearing some of the material that you guys are writing.

Older Posts

I went back and re-read and responded to some older posts. If you guys have written or recorded anything I woould love to hear it.

The Madagascar

Sorry guys. My recovery is takinga lttle longer than hoped. Is there any chance of all of us getting together this summer to work on the grynch project and such ? I have written 1 verse for a new song called The Madagascar. Where are we in the project. Have you guys been working on any new songs ? Well here are the lyrics I have so far:

The Madagascar

a long time ago
the madagascar sailed across the sea
she was a splendid ship
made for human trafficking
a beautiful ship commissioned by the queen
and the cargo in her belly
paved the way for you and me

human suffering
human sufferin
he wept in his tea
the sugar it didnt come free
( i thing this whole bridge to the chorus is extremely dumb but its all I can come up with)
