So I'm covering a song by a forum member... how cool isn't that? Mixing this, coop that... how about if members could put up songs they would like to hear with "other ears", as it were...?
Sam, I think there are four takes, as it were... bits and pieces glued together in a second in Reaper... preparations is everything. Well that, and then Fix It In The Mix - the latter having a really bad rep... why is that? Fix it in the kitchen would be absurd... I digress.
That is very cool, Jorgen. I like the idea of covering another poster's tune. I'm even getting a hint of pixeltarian style vocals here and there, I think .
It is quite a different take on Wadosy's original, which I just sought out. Both versions present the song in a way that is equally compelling to me, just from an alternate viewpoint.
kindafishy, not my idea to cover other members, just had to do this one. Thanks, a bit of my cold shines through rather nicely, if I may say so myself.
Now with bass, drums, keys and second guitar. Rather sketchy... just to hear what happens. A neighbor blues musician liked the song and may put harmonica on it... see when it happens. He's pretty good... if it turns out alright, he could replace the cheesy organ.
This is the original bpm, 111. The solo thing I did above has no click, and is noticeably slower. Key however is Bb (original is in C).
I'd love to hear some real horns on this one. Piano...
I also got to say it makes sense to empower women if you need to defend a dying empire
women are more lkely to go off the deep end when it comes to defending the nest
meanwhile, amateur songwriters are writing long sad songs that seem to be pandering to the matriarchy... "woe is us poor downtrodden males, continually victimized by feckless females"

gets tiresome, fast
.
nothing like inserting a bit of bigoted and hateful stuff in an otherwise positive thread..
does the "clsh of civilizations" boil down to a manifestation of the "war between the sexes"?...
Could be. "She's leaving home, bye, bye." It will take a few more generations, but I think it can't be avoided in the long run. The women are leaving the tribe, and the outcry from the men is shattering heaven and earth. They will lose this fight. The women will leave, and eventually, the men must follow. My theory.
if the songwriters and poets don't do it, who will?

THE SECOND COMING
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: a waste of desert sand;
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Wind shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
The Chinese better take care of themselves... but what should they teach us? It's a superstitious people, haunted by demons. We probably should fear them.
I don't think you should fear Christians... they're pretty much tootless, apathetic, preoccupied, useless
the Christians became more and more useless as the realization dawned that chr chrisitanity is basically hostile to Jewishness
the dethawish chrisitans got a certain amont of traction after 9/11, but I ont think most Christians buy into the deathwish Christian beliefs
chrisianity is done for, the popoe called the Iraq war a "defeat for humity", then lost billions of dollars in the child abuse scandal... so one big center of potential Christian resistane has been eliminated
it's all working out according to pan, and the only thing you have to fear is thousands of years of tradition, philosophy, and expectations... the system
if you had a decent education, you probably didn't have to figure it all out ofr yourself... or maybe it's such a weird subject that yu learn it by osmosis... I don't know
but it's tiresone... the same old pattern, time after time, and nobody seems to be willing to admit that it's just the system... that's jus thow it works, that's just how it is
I modified a gtr solo I did for FVs orig version. He didn't think it worked but I'll DL your version and see what I can do, I got a sneaking feeling I can make it work ok.
Cool - and I can make something more of the drums, a fill or variation here and there... that second git is pretty sloppy, but the melodic material is okay, imo, and could be augmented, work more steadily as a counter-point to the melody... perhaps.
I did some more work on the keys to mirror the sloppy second git... but I like it so far. And I put an Armageddon effect on the ending - experimenting... I suppose I could redo the second guitar without much fuzz, lock it better with the keys and such. Put some steadier swing to it.
according to len chandler at the LA sognwriters' showcase, "it depends on the political mood of the country"... that was in the late 70s, and it puzzled me... I'd never thought of the music business as an arm of the imperial propaganda machinery
but it's a chicken/egg question, isn't it?
is the music business reacting to the political mood, or are they trying to create a political mood?
lots of people seem to think the beatles had a lot to do with the disintegration of the USSR... so they respect and fear the power of music...
so we have to assume that music, along with television, is one of the things included in the "full spectrum dominance"
and when you look at maccartney and "four five seconds", you got to wonder.. here's a guy that's supposedly partly responsible for wrecking the USSR, and now he's apparently trying to soothe racial tensions in the US
well, you got ot admit that if money's so important, you got to hold the country together to prolong your opportunities to loot, don't you?
