My name is Laurie. I like your track here! I had fun playing around with potential lyrics and vox today on this. I've uploaded a very rough overview mp3 to see if you have any interest in considering these ideas in general for development. I can also share the lyrics with you if you want to go forward with me. If you would rather wait for other auditions, or had something totally different in mind, no worries at all. You can just let me know either way!
I like your lyrics idea. You also have a nice singing voice. Dont be afraid to use it. Project your voice. Sing loud and proud. I say this because it seemed like at times you were backing off. I understand the time you spent recording and how you want to do your best and I thank you. I'm thinking we could do a spin off of this idea and see how it turns out if you want.
i was putting this song up for just a straight stoner rock song. kyzlsh got me thinking why I wrote it. I was thinking of making a compilation of songs telling about how our country reacted to this virus when it first hit the states. how it has effected people and how life has changed, and how this may all turn out. I dont think I would add zombies, would be cool tho. I do have 2 other songs in the works for this concept. 1. I call Sheeple 2. I call Lockdown
If you have any ideas on a concept album like this feel free to chime in. Just one of my stupid back of the brain ideas I get all the time.
I've uploaded another version of the lyrics with harmonies, which is much fuller sounding, I think.
The lyrics actually fit well with your concept of how people reacted/are reacting to the virus. Have a look below and and a listen to the new file to see what you think. I'll also listen to the Fever spin off now!
Fever
VERSES
Cortisol running through your veins You can't get it outta your head The engine's running hot and high But you're falling so low
Gravity pulling on your weight You're too far gone to resist The blood is flowing fast and blue Pressure's mounting in you
CHORUS
Cool down You're running at a fever pitch Cool down You're running too hot, too hot
VERSES
Standing at the edge of a cliff Gotta balance to survive Wind is pushing strong and true Hold on to whatever you'll miss
Flashes of your life roll by Like thunder in the rain Clouds are all closing in Darkness surrounding us
I put your lyrics into the page for safe keeping. When you get a mix you like we can put it in the page as "Latest Mix", and add Laura to the credits. I could add her now, but let's get that in a bit when you're liking things enough to update.
Oh one other thing, I added Laura's first take to the "Liked" list. It is meant to keep those tracks noted. You can like where things are going and continue working on things, as you develop ideas. When you get a remarkable milestone we can update latest mix. Gives you room to work it up before updating page status.
Thanks, Freddy. The info about how to like a mix is cool. I didn't know that. Don, feel free to have a listen to the most recent upload from me and me know if you want to further develop this idea or perfect not. It's important to remember that my audition tracks here are both 'dry', without any effects at all. Of course, effects such as some reverb, ect, would give a fuller, more polished sound later on if we work forward together. If you want to give these ideas from me a miss, no worries at all. I'm happy to do what you like. It's your original.
I like this track Don!

Hi again,
ReplyDeleteI just noticed that the mp3 I uploaded doesn't include the intro for some reason. Sorry for that.
I like your lyrics idea. You also have a nice singing voice. Dont be afraid to use it. Project your voice. Sing loud and proud. I say this because it seemed like at times you were backing off.

ReplyDelete@ kyzlsh.... I uploaded another bed track (Spin off idea) tagged Fever spin off idea.

DeleteI see also Don has made the stems available. You could grab then from what he put up.

ReplyDeleteLiked is YELLOW on top of the page. Note worthy mixes, and arrangements. I am sure it will develop.
