I like irony, but unfortunately it wasn't - not this time.... :cry:

I would like to write some cheery songs, but I also need to be able to sing sad songs as well, so I'll practice my sad voice...

Thanks for listening and commenting - all useful stuff.

Rock on!

Ok - here's an acoustic version to wade through. Apologies for the voice. It's been a long day and half a bottle of the red stuff....

(I liked the Wallflowers version too - Heroes)
The staccato sounded kind of choppy after a while . . . but I got the gist of it . . . if it was a mandolin it might have come across better. But then we don't have a choice of a full orchestra to pick and choose from. We make do with what we have and make guitar noise.

Thanks for the song, DB, and as always,

Rock onwards.

The more I think about the song I'm thinking 8 to the bar for the verses - gigga gigga gigga giggae stuff, pretty muted yes. then as we build up for the chorus (yes, with an little acoustic you need to throw in something, even a Dsuss to make it sound remotely interesting) I get the pick slide down the fretboard and really go into one 'Now is seem that I....' strong power chords - shake the walls - really heartfelt - then silence - gigga gigga gigga gigga. Cool or what!!!!!

I've got to go to the UK on Monday and going to be without my 6 string for two weeks, so I'm gonna order an electric to be delivered to my Mums' house for the second week - why the second week - 'cos my girlfriend is with me for the first and in these financially strained times I should be be buying 'toys'. I'm gonna raise the roof with this one! Wind up the overdrive.

I'm going to make another mp3 but using acoustic strumming rather than staccatto chopping which I know is crap at the moment. Don't know where I'm going with this? Heavy rock? Alternative? Grunge? Am I getting carried away - nah, just enjoying the freedom of creation.

RRRRRRROooooooock on!

It's probably been quite a while since I watched your first few videos, but the improvement since then is amazing. :) The singing is coming along really well too. Great job.

This is a good framework for an arrangement. I agree that with some nice electric work, particularly on the choruses, that you're going to have something very dynamic. The way you cut the last chorus out on "my life" was really good, too. Keep that.

We're going to have to get you a band. :wink:

More!

Ok, here's a very bad recording of what I see this song vaguely resembling... :oops:

My arm went to sleep trying to keep the beat going and I lost concentration on the singing so I missed Dave's line on the last chorus.. :roll: but I see this sounding pretty good with a good bass riff and some mighty electric chorus breaks.

I hope I've kept things in the spirit of Y7 W1 with the chords, but let me know if I should really be doing some dooowhap dooowhap diddy stuff?

First time I've used this box thing also, so hope it works...

Ken, I read your verse but it just sounded, well...too 'nice' - if I'm going for depression I don't want to mention 'love' too much...

Rock on!
