it's metal and harsh, and in 3/4.
Yes. Yes it is
Actually doesn't just remind me of Doctor Who, but sends me right back behind the old orange nylon sofa in single digit fear...I like the gloss of the FABs and love listening to this knowing it was written in Notion. I admire/envy your facility with the app...
Thanks, @JohnnyGoodyear. Love the mental image there.
A very underestimated or misunderstood word in the rock/pop canon is kooky. I like kooky. Rarely makes an appearance in other 'art forms', because they take themselves TOO SERIOUSLY. This is kooky. Love lyrics like this, a whole set of references condensed into a narrative. Well done. The overall production sounded a bit tinny to me, but by the same token this made me feel as though I was way back when and listening to it on the radio. Not altogether a bad thing considering the content...good effort.
Reminds me of being driven in a town car late at night over the Queensboro Bridge or through the Midtown Tunnel ("on my way home...") out to the disco badlands of Queens in the early nineties. Everything was a 12 inch mix back then...Odd good memories.
What did you use for the bass on this?
If they made a remake of the original Mission Impossible that was like the old Mission Impossible but just less old this would fit somewhere in it perfectly either driving from the heist or trying to beat the clock before it ran down and therefore consequences ensured etc..
Argos was an unfortunate beast. I was listening (and watching) you and trying to decide what this sort of music is/was called. Came up empty. I suppose as an instrumental my imagination always wants to take me to the cinema, but whatever it is I liked it, and the end was particularly satisfying, very controlled, nicely done.
Thank you so much, @JohnnyGoodyear!
You're always in the bar band I'd like to hear, this one def feels as though the room's full and I'm listening through the wall, swirling in and out, a little too much for my own aural pleasure, but there's still something Morrison about the whole thing. The pump action rather flattens out the shape of the song (for me), but I may well be on the lawn here.
Nice singing there Mister. And, hey, China, huge market
Does sound very much like a more well-mannered Chris Brown (I trust) circa 'Forever'. I like the use of the Pipa a lot.
I think the thought (sometimes) of setting some parameters or 'limits' is a fine idea. My instinct is that this might be a minute too long, but that might also be my short attention span. Like the production, vocals are good and the guitar break is sweet. I'm guessing this is the sort of the song that might be one of those tunes considered an album track (remember those?) which plays better live, when the extra energy and vocal personality kicks in a little, especially on the chorus.
Thanks! And now I’ve become interested in getting a real Pipa. I do like the “Forever” era Chris Brown...interesting call-out.
As some of you know I am limited in production skills and tend to avoid anything more than a basic mix. I have to admit I did try for a 70s revival country band sound here and ended up sufficiently wide of the mark that I couldn't seem to make my way back. Subject matter/inspiration goes to @bluepunk as the words for this (which, as ever, came first) were prompted by a discussion around religion that we had/have been having...
Not my best work, but I like the first two lines sufficiently (words below the spoiler) that I'm pretty sure I'll come back to this draft for another go etc.
That Which Is Lent
Two women hose down a crucifix
Another girl comes by, separates the sticks
It is in this way our God is forlorn
While in the next room some new religion is being born
Chorus:
And everyone who rises up
will some day fall again
yet even so we'll ride on high
deal with our sorrow then
Between the legs of a virgin who never gave out
Who is dying inside with the dreams of the only devout
There are children and corpses who still hope for the best
For a solid square meal away from her aching lonely breast
Chorus
That which is Lent can never be given
That which is your snow will always lie dead, be here and driven
There’s a man on a hill he’s all alone
And he’s calling out loud that he’s only flesh and only bone
Chorus
Wonderful song, really great! Congrats, @JohnnyGoodyear! Competent vocals, and I enjoyed the use of FX and overdubs in the vocal tracks. Good choruses. Great job!

@Bluepunk I am often asking (others and self) to put themselves more fully into their songs, make us believe it, break your own heart to break ours. I don't understand all the words here, but this is beyond the usual spit that even punk seems to sometimes fall into. Anger by the numbers, venom by rote. The second half of this piece is not mucking about and no greater compliment can I give it. Your're the bloke at the back of the club whose white and shivering with something and we're all whistling inside, examining our nails, avoiding eye contact.
Thank you. What I lack in musical knowledge/skills/talent (tons) is a shortfall that every month I'm attempting to mask/deflect, by improving in a 'confidence and attitude towards vocals' way. Most of that is down to the comments from the kind folk of this Club. Once made a living standing at the back of clubs selling suitable souvenirs. Appreciate those compliments. I'm stealing 'rote' for a future song as well.
Cheers.
@Shaken&;Stirred Warm welcome. Cool artwork. It's the 3 spy holes and cheese grater bannister. Been smelling this 'For a Few iPads More' Eastwood/T. Cook pied piper aroma around The Club lately and my Stetsim is enjoying it. Yes, as mentioned... A Shaken Beck.... on your terms. The drop away of 'I don't look up, led into other moments of vocal/delivery goodness as at 2.35 and your eerie echoes. The second vocal and harmonies are on the Teenage Fanclub ladder. The verse at 1.40 (remember... I know nothing) lines 1, 2 and 4 could be broken from the beat as you did/delivered in line 3. Your vocals on the out, yep a purée of pleasure. And yep, a catchy song with a sing along to chorus. Congrats.
Your goal I hope you achieve sir. Doesn't matter if it's 'not finished.' It does matter that you're here. Every month.
@fattigman You bring the H of happiness fully into focus and fill hearts with joy. Thank you for that. Yes, she is the star of the show and her walk down the promenade was reminiscent of Richard Ashcroft without the barging and North London 'trip and claim' pavements. Excellent job on the vid, smack in time with your tune. Bags of attitude, interest, style and meaning. Produced professionally, especially like how you've got that 'halo of happy haze' encircling Leah Mi angelic vocals. Thoughtful with splashes of humour at 1.25 and 2.45..... you got it ALL going on. Put a lot of creative effort into this project and has been a pleasure to listen and watch.
Ah, is that a SM6 Shock mount? And the mic? Had to bastardise the one I have to allow a USB mic to sit comfortably inide the cradle.
Thank you very much @Bluepunk for your comments and kind words. I'm happy you enjoyed it.
Yes, I put a lot of time making this song and video and it was a fun and learning experience.
It's the first time I got my daughter involved and hopefully she feature in more songs I do.
I'll show Leah Mi your feedback, she'll be very happy.
Thanks
Yes that is a SM6 Shock mount and the mic is a Rode NT1-A.
This is cool. Punk music always brings reactions and emotions. I like the dynamic in the vocals. I couldn't hear all the words but it sounded like a conversion (with one self) in the head of some half crazy person. I love when music is made with empathy (I think that's the correct english word) and emotions and I think you have that.
ok, too long, an instrumental, slightly dodgy snare sound, done 2 years ago, but this is the only tune i've ever done that sounds like i wanted it to. am swamped this month but wanted to keep momentum going since returning to the fold
loops from dm1, thesys, virsynth, glitchbreaks all added as audio to the old auria and then lots of effects thrown at it :-)
@JohnnyGoodyear, that's simply a good tune. My one nit is it was a bit tough to get the lyrics. I went back and forth liking what you had one to your voice, and wishing I could hear the lyrics better. Melody and piano worked beatifully together. A couple of the drum runs sounded a bit artificial, just a bit too precise. Not sure if you "humanize" on those, or I might even take them right out.
Wonderful! Made me laugh (in a good way I promise, "incoming pirate" indeed). Really well recorded and arranged. Would've liked a bit more thump in the percussion but the vocals were fantastic. What a talented bunch. Brilliant, looking forward to seeing/hearing more!
Thank you, and your valid point about it sounding like a conversation with myself. Wish it was only happening while in song mode. Clarity in vocals I need to work on from both their source, and afterwards playing around in the EQ shed. Cheers.
Thanks for your comments Mister Rick. The backtrack is a simple verse/chorus thing I put together in Tin Pan. No question that it just repeats itself like the machine it is and if I do remake this song at some point the effort will need to start with getting the music fully realized with the right instruments etc.
Being far more an amateur on the music side of things I have found I spend a disproportionate amount of my time trying to make that part credible, but this often leads to not actually completing the puzzle of the song itself. At this point, it's a trade-off, and SOTMC helps me at least do some 'writing' while I'm also learning
Thanks again.
I'll piggy back on this one... I agree it is a good tune, and also wish I could have heard the lyrics more clearly. I really like the vibe you created with the processing on the vocals and piano. I often shy away from using a piano sound, but this has inspired me to use it more. The "haunting" nature of it, with the reverb on it is really cool, IMO. ..and thanks for posting the lyrics with it - nice job.
I enjoyed this! I'm a longtime fan of the late 70's UK punk scene, and I don't know if it's that, or because I happened to be listening to PIL not long before I played your track, but your vocals reminded me a bit of John Lydon, in style and attitude. I would maybe have liked to hear the lyrics better, but really, a lot of music I really enjoy is hard to understand lyrically, so take that FWIW.. cheers!
Thank you @crouchie for your nice comments. I wanted to make a video that was not too serious and with some humour. I'm glad you saw that. Thanks for your advice about the percussion. In fact I wanted to give it some thump but the app I use (Rytmik Ultimate) is a bit clumsy and tedious to change and I wanted to just finish the song so I didn't do that.
@crouchie I've listened to this one 4 consecutive times now. The first time I couldn't identify the theme of the song but there was something that kept my interest. I had to listen again. Then I realised that it's the sound I like and I started to hear the theme. I like the glitch flavor, I like when the sound is "dirty". After listening the third time I really enjoy the song. I can't pinpoint what it is I like but I'm gonna listen a fifth time now.
@Bluepunk, great tune. Love your voice, and the guitar tone is to die for. It is so absolutely punk. Love the overall feel of the song. One complaint is there is maybe a bit too much stop and start? Which is the exact opposite of what I usually say.
Great job.
