I wrote this one a few year's back when my daughter was 6 years old. I finally recorded it and uploaded it to her MP3 player for her 12th birthday this year.
Lyrics:
Caged as a bird
free will is such a bitch
it's your responsibility to stay alive
pay the bills etc, etc
but how you enslave yourself
whether or not you enslave yourself
it's up to you
Rell Sunn, the Queen of Makaha, was a beautiful spirit and graceful surfer who lives in the hearts of all who knew her before she was called back home.
I'm going to pursue this one I think; the stepped up Jazz/drum n' bass/dub step angle.
Ok the beats are just loops dropped in from GarageBand, but I had having fun shaping the track.
Welp... I didn't do a feckin' thing all weekend. No laundry, no nuthin'. So I figured I'd beat the living hell out of my Ibanez in order to make up for it.
A juvenile song at best, but I feel better now :)
One take in the MBR hole... I'll…
Again i'd love some feedback
I like the feel and the mix
do the lyrics work?
recorded t'night in an hour after trying all day to get the verse lyrics rammed into another tune
this is one i have to stop tweaking - six versions and i still don't get what i hear in my head
would love some crit for this one as it's doing my head in
thanks
This is a re-do of "Up on the hill" done the conventional way. I wrote the words 1st.
This is my 1st attempt at using Logic Express. I should learn most of the basics by spring. :)
The old version has been posted here This new version has Drums…
This song has sat around for quite awhile with a different melody. While the old melody was alright I thought it was too sappy. So I changed it.
I don't care for this recording, I think it's too busy. It's one of those things that get out of hand…
