That beer on the table yours or mine?
I only left the room for a short time.
If you've gone and switched them I'm gonna be sad,
Cos that beer was the best one that I ever had.
Don't drink my beer, you hear?
I'm counting to 4 just to make…

Thank you Tom and AMUC. They are professional loops, except for the two synths which I played at the beginning and repeated. The timing takes care of itself once you have set the speed up. It's choosing what to use, how to arrange it and make it sound interesting is the fun and challenge of it for me. I'm grateful for your feedback.

I've been pondering which part of this song to single out as my favorite, but what I think like more than anything is how well it all combines to be more than the sum of its parts. Great job, Steve!

Lyrics by Tom Browning
Slight, crooked teeth,
I hear behind the screens so blind
Our, fingertips, burnt tyres and lips next to it.
Down, in the suit that we wear,
It's in the suit that we share.
Can't you seek us out and then find, find, find
That we ain't got nothing to hide, hide, hide
Through, the dirt,
Spring pinches it's deadly grip
An, acid rain, ungroomed smell of it
Slight, crooked teeth, I hear behind the screen.
Our, fingertips, burnt tyres and lips next to it.
He can't play nicely or share his toys
He always takes from the other boys
Got no time for music or vids
Doesn't act like the other kids
Does Donald
Don't let Donald play
He's gonna spoil your day
Believe his words if you must
But only…
He can't play nicely or share his toys
He always takes from the other boys
Got no time for music or vids
Doesn't act like the other kids
Does Donald
Don't let Donald play
He's gonna spoil your day
Believe his words if you must
But only…
He can't play nicely or share his toys
He always takes from the other boys
Got no time for music or vids
Doesn't act like the other kids
Does Donald
Don't let Donald play
He's gonna spoil your day
Believe his words if you must
But only…
Thanks Tom, I appreciate your comments. Mixing and cutting loops to make a tune is easier for me than singing. I think I need more help than a bit of echo. Talking Heads were fun and wacky, a bit different, so I'm happy if I remind you of them.
Cyborgs conquer the planet, crushing resistance and enslaving the human race. The cello represents the people who ignore the destruction and carry on as normal, like the orchestra playing on the deck of the Titanic as it went down.

Thanks Tom. I'm not sure if the mix of instruments worked. I was trying to contrast the power of the invasion with the futility of resistance and panic of the human survivors, but perhaps I was being a bit ambitious. It was fun though, and if you listen carefully at the beginning you will hear my dog getting in on the act. She heard me shouting and ran in barking, thinking that there was really someone (or something) here! I had to laugh!

Thanks Tom. Boring the listeners is my greatest fear! Yes, I suggest headphones because there is a swirling stereo effect which only works properly with headphones on, as you rightly guessed. This song is about the rise of the Cyborgs, from initial communications to a robotic type march on humanity, a la Terminator style.
Thanks DJ Ursine. I can't take all of the credit for this. I use loops mostly, and the timing takes care of itself on the app I use. An ear for what will work, and some imagination helps, but I guess I'm more of a DJ than a musician.
Thanks DJ Ursine. The virtual guitar was the only freehand part of the track, and I wanted to leave it raw and unedited to create the contrast you noticed. I was tempted to edit it and phrase it better, but it might have ended up "too perfect " . I'm sure you know what I mean : )
Thanks again Tom, for commenting on my music. This is meant to be about someone who is encouraged to be upbeat and happy and enjoy life, while privately they are thoughtful and confused, and that is why the mood of the music changes around so often. It's just an experiment to see whether I can convey mood and emotion without vocals. I'm glad you liked it. Next up will be a sci-fi tune, coming soon : )
I struggled to get this thing completed. I've been sat on it for weeks, finished, debating whether I was really prepared to let it go.
I loved the song when I wrote it, inspired by a wonderful week at the end of September. But the recording…

Love the lyrics. Half expecting to hear a sound sample of a beer opening a few times in the song ,lol
Thanks Brett
very cool.

I like the crunchy drums here. This sounds very professionally mastered - all the instruments jump right out at you in the mix.
Thanks for your lyrics and vocal performance Tom. Kind of brought it to life!
Thanks fairynuff : )
Thanks again for offering the opportunity to collab on this song with you, Steve!

Thanks Tom. I will eventually come up with some words to fit and suit this.
Fun stuff, Steve! This one really has an inspiring edge to it, kinda like a "We Will Rock You" by Queen.
nice..
Thank you kindly. As long as people like you appreciate and enjoy it, I will keep trying to entertain!
This is astonishingly good! I think you are being too humble in saying you *just* patch a few sounds together.
Thanks Tom. You are too kind. I only patched a few sounds together :)
Flawless -- you're really starting to hit your groove with songwriting, Steve!
I hear you, brother.
Thank you fairynuff!

Love the guitar and vocals are excellent! Great song Gary : )
Praise indeed from somebody who knows what they are doing with keyboards/synths. I appreciate your comments, and thanks for the vote of confidence!

Excellent song. Well written and performed Andrew. Reminiscent of early Bowie for me, but unique and stylish in it's own right.
Thank you Andrew : )
Thanks Andrew. Appreciate your comment. I wish I could sing better though!
Thanks James. I'm flattered
Like the interplay between the instruments. Nice variety, cool tune.
Like the eeriness you create
Wow! Very professional Corrie. Beautiful song and performance : )
Mellow sounds, dreamy and cool.
Nice James! Sweet vocals, very short. Will you expand this into a longer song?
