About these lyrics PLX180...

Have you set these to music yet???



I was on the outside looking in

shadows beckon me inside

I don't know where I can begin

to explain the thoughts they hide



There's a reason I must find

and I feel it drawing near

But my answers are declined

as the shadows re-appear



There's a part of me right now

that would like to know you well

But the shadows won't allow

my thoughts and words to gel







Ha

[PLX180]

HAHAHAHAHHAA!

Actually, yes I have. Nowhere near the releasing stage yet, but the vocals are recorded............



I changed some lines, as you always do, but the essence is the same It's a 150bpm rock tune btw

Where the sane people go........

That happens to me once in awhile..



Like on this song..

The first verse is a short poem I did not write but I set music to it and when the author couldn't come up with anymore lyrics, I wrote the rest of those to..

[PLX180]

When I get a moment Gregg, I'm gonna check out your music. I'll let you know what I thought of it too

Hey I listened to Abstract Love (hahahaha - my bad). Nice sweet tune. The tempos just right, and the mix is good.

The vocalist knows what she's doing, especially on the very last line The lyrics are well written.

The bass needs more sustain tho, but the piano is cool. I prefer real sounding instruments ie piano etc as opposed to synths. It sounds MIDI though right?

I read about your singing voice in the other thread. That's a shame..........

The poem was called "Abstract Sex" and I've gone against the authors wishes renaming it but oh well..



The singer is a lady named Daphne, she's good allright and it's amazing how quickly she can pick up a melody..



It was done on a Kurzweil Synth and just a simple 4 chords..



It needs to be redone at some point.. I don't know if that will ever happen though...

[PLX180]

It'll happen if you want it to happen surely?



I caught the Arena Rumble btw. It was you in there wasn't it? It's difficult to tell.........

And there's a few things I will be discussing with RU, and I'd prefer to do it in person but telephone will be ok..



You know, I respect Rod for helping to create opportunity for artists via mp3.com, ect., but I think he's missing something really important in all of this.. (It's the people closest to him who are creating so much of the hostility, and this has gone on for years now and people have grown tired of it..)



As far as Paisly goes, as you know, we don't really get along but I have no bad feelings for him. And whatever hostility Rod feels is being directed towards him isn't really about him at all and it's important he realises that.. (Serious harm has been done to artists by those he coddles and many have just had enough of it.,.., they just want to be left alone..)



Back to the song... Maybe yes,maybe no.. I won't invest any money into an artist unless they have clearly defined goals in music and are working hard to acheive them..



And money is becoming a bigger problem all the time.. For the right artist though, I will do it correctly..
