More fun with MIDI wink

https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=14636468

What makes me so special
Why should you listen to me
I hardly trust myself
But I'm who I want to be

I'm not a talking head
Grinning with digression
A champion of cohesion
Failing to make connections

Despite adverse opinion
I think it's easy to see
Faith in infinite wisdom
Affirms my integrity

No Fear...

Honesty and reality
Struggle for validation
But swindlers and liars
Delight in their vocation

Shilling for your trust
Whoring for the kingdom
Dividing the jaded masses
Slaves of a broken system

The devil can't stop laughing
Paranoia is the rule
Ethics is the enemy
The lie they teach kids in school

No Fear...

What makes me so special
Why do I crave attention
It's really not so strange
No need for apprehension

It calms me
Empowers me
Let's me see
The Spirit guides me
No Fear...

Oh well, it's just a MIDI rough lol. They can always be re-done wink

Perhaps I'll do a "Country Bumpkin" version...

Naw let me stick to the Country Bumpkin stuff, Goes well with my GED
country music does not want you to think to much, Every writer is from a small town , its a rule. But they advanced from 3/4 time to every song in 4/4 time
that happened when the added more then on stop light in a small town, Every women in a country song is a girl
Hey Girl , Better ring then Hey women

Every country song is girl , They don't ask for Id's for having sex in a truck by a artist 40 years old . Kinda makes ya wonder whats really going in their real life displayed on Star Magazines at check out lines , Next to that prince of England we don't give a [naughty word removed] about on his sex life. These guys
Royal Family tree: King Charles III's closest family and line of succession. My life is horror , is that right , Do you work for a gas station for 14 bucks a hour ? Did the maid not show up to clean the castle. Maybe the hunting dogs died chasing fox's , Tala Ho

Intelligent lyrics indeed. Plus grabbing arrangement and fine mix.
You sound like Bowie.

Vic


It's never too late? Yes it is, so do it now.

If, given time, a monkey can write the complete works of Shakespeare maybe there's hope for me.

I read the lyric and it's interesting and vague in a good way, the Dylan way. The music creates a nice bed for sure, and your vocals are in the pocket enough.

And yet all the parts aren't adding up to a satisfying experience for me. To me, it drags. Maybe consider adding more guitar fills in between the vocal parts, like Carlos Alomar on Bowie albums. And maybe the tempo could be a tad faster? Just spitballin'...

What Bowie song to cover?

"Loving the Alien" might be interesting for you. as it's lyrically your style, vocally as well, and is Bowie waxing on about religious war, but vague enough that you can't pinpoint his intention, but the consensus is that it deals with religious problems, terrorists, etc., and how people can justify doing terrible things in the name of religion.




But maybe you should just have fun and cover "Rebel Rebel" cuz it's great guitar licks and vocal hooks.





Carry on,

Mike

"The Dylan Way", I like that smile
Your right about the song lol... I just opened a MIDI program and punched in some chords, took about an hour. But, I was so tickled with the "plucking" string section, I just had to post it. It will definitely be re-done.

Thanx Mike!

Now, about Bowie...
I listened to both of those songs...
LOL, I just don't get it.
Same "attitude" perhaps... But I do NOT sound like that laugh

Ha! Well, maybe you don't sound like that, but you asked what Bowie songs...I really think your version of "Rebel Rebel" would kill.

There ya go I like it
Tell yourself .I 'm a God I'm a genuis , The only thing I regret is not being able to see myself live. Like Kayne West , You can't say he has no confidence. But he did lose a billion dollars in one day on saying things like that , so maybe you should rethink it. He dosen't get along with Taylor Swift to well

It sounds like it could have been in the score for the movie, "Wednesday."

You sound like Frederick William Schneider III.
I am convinced that you are Frederick William Schneider III...laying low with an alias. wink
