It became kind of meaningful for more than that.Fingerstyle acoustic with a xylophone... They will see again Earth shakes Walls break Under midnight skies Ocean rolls Winds blow Into blinded eyes Chorus They will see again It is not the end The light is near Nothing to fear Verse Earth mends Walls bend Under sun lit skies Water moves Winds soothe Vision magnified Chorus Bridge Across the world is a new surge In the light, we all will emerge Across the world is a new word In the light all will be answered Chorus Absentee Post from: kwakatakTitle: Crash Into MeCredits: Dave Matthews Click to Listen http://www.box.net/shared/0sr3khev5m kwakatak Comments: I got the bug to give this one a try when Misha recently asked how to play it without her hands cramping up. Normally it's to be played in standard tuning but the droning E5 chord with walking bass line can be pretty difficult to play for 5+ minutes. My solution was to tune to open G (DGDGBD) and put a capo on the 2nd fret. It's still not the exact same arrangement and my vocal pitch is questionable in places but at least it's been fun to play around with.

Anyway this month's submission is (yet another) favourite of mine - written by Eric Bogle it commemorates ANZAC Day (which falls on 25th April) and also the WWI battle of Gallipoli. But it can apply to any conflict (and Lord knows we've got plenty to choose from!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Terry Allan Hall Posted April 10, 2011 Members Share Posted April 10, 2011 [video=youtube;79qrQaM0rfs] An old Child Ballad, #286, (circa 1630s or thereabouts) and wrung through the folk process over the past 375+ years...I first learned this from an old mountain woman, up in the Arkansas Ozarks, in 1971, who accompanied herself on a mountain dulcimer...and have since heard a few more versions from Scotland and Northern England, both in 1975, and even a version from Zaire (currently called the Democratic Republic of the Congo) during my time in the Peace Corps, back in 1977...each with it's own "flavor", and so, in the folk tradition, I've incorporated pieces of all those versions into this version. Here are the words, in case you'd like to sing along: There was a ship that sailed, upon the Lowland Sea And the name of this ship was the Gallant VanityWe feared she would be captured by the Spanish enemyAs we sailed upon the Lowlands, Lowlands,We sailed upon the Lowland Sea Then up jumped our youngest mate and boldly upspoke he And he said to our good Captain, "What will you make my fee"If I swim through the waters to the Spanish enemyAnd sink her in the Lowland, Low land If I sink her in the lowland sea?" Oh, I will give you diamonds and buckets full of goldAnd my own fair daughter, your bonny bride to holdIf you'll swim through the waters and put the Spaniards into the coldYes, sink 'em in the Lowland, Low land Sink her in the lowland sea" Oh, the mates they made him ready and he left the VanityHe swam through the waters to the Spanish enemyThen he pulled out his rigging dagger and drilled round holes threeAnd he sank 'em into the Lowland, Low land He sank 'em into the Lowland Sea Then he swam back to the Vanity and he beat upon the saideSaying "Captain pull me out, for I grow so very tired"But the Captain said "I do not care if a thousand of your kind die"And he left him in the Lowland, Low land He left him in the Lowland Sea If it were not for the love that I bear for all your menI'd do to you, my Captain, as you had me do to themBut I cannot take the lives of all your other menAnd he sank back in the in the Lowland, Low land He sank back in the Lowland Sea The crew they pulled him out, but upon the deck he diedSo they stiched him in his hammock and they took him to the sideAnd they put him out to rest, and he drifted with the tideAnd sank into in the Lowland, Low land He sank into in the Lowland Sea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Etienne Rambert Posted April 10, 2011 Members Share Posted April 10, 2011 Just finished a 4-song CD in honor of the 100th anniversary of the Genius of Crime. You hear Mr. Binh's arch-top and my synths on it. In the last half, you hear a little bit of KORG KARMA fx on it. I really like that guitar with w/a tremolo box. That's a sound I'll use in the future. I've been in SF all week at centenary celebrations. I read a passage from "The Silent Executioner" and had my music performed at a couple of venues. I re-arranged a waltz I composed & made it a Surf tune. I wanted a late 50's/early 60's instrumental feel. I was thinking Johnny & the Hurricanes' "Red River Rock" & Bill Black "White Silver Sands".

Members skatalite Posted April 10, 2011 Members Share Posted April 10, 2011 Well, here we go! Title: "Ship of Death"Artist: Prizefighters All!Link to the song on SoundCloud: http://soundcloud.com/prizefighters-all/05-ship-of-deathRecording info: Played Alvarez MD80 with dead strings into my MacBook Pro's built-in mic. Used GarageBand for rough mixing, and for adding effects to the secondary guitar part. The secondary guitar was also played on the Alvarez. Lyrics:After the power wentWe up and leftThe drive took us where we didn't want to goThe moon was full but hanging real low And on that tideThe ship took us for our last ride We were floatingMiles out at seaWe tried to be brave, thinking of better daysIt did nothing to make us feel OK And on that tideThe ship took us for our last ride There was no pointIn trying to runFrom the fate we've made for ourselves We recalled the times we hadWhen we met those years agoWe tried to find what we forgotIt's hard to put this in words, but we couldn't recall a thing And on that tideThe ship took us for our last ride And when we reached our stopAt some port in old OxnardWe recognized it as the place we met all those years agoWhere I thought the world of you, I was as tall as treetops And on that tideThe ship took us for our last ride There was no pointIn trying to runFrom the fate we've made for ourselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Michael Martin Posted April 10, 2011 Members Share Posted April 10, 2011 I recorded three songs tonight. I had a diff one in mind for VOM, but this one turned out best. Funny, this was #3 of 3. Kind of an afterthought, because it was a good recording session. Ain't it the way. http://www.box.net/shared/p7kophbk77 I wrote this about three yrs ago. Not a true story--have never paid for it, although nothing wrong with that. But maybe I was thinking about what a love song might be worth, in illegal tender.

Members LeonardScaper Posted April 10, 2011 Members Share Posted April 10, 2011 Here's one I've been working on........ The Grinding Wheel Did this version with wo mics, one take........figured it to be a demo for something I could work up in the studio but I think I might just leave it as it is. Played it on the old Kalamazoo again. I'm looking forward to a good hour or so of listening later in the day when everybody gets posted up.

Members BlackHatHunter Posted April 10, 2011 Members Share Posted April 10, 2011 I was planning on recording something new for the VOM but my throat is so sore it's difficult to speak, let alone sing. So here's a video I recorded a couple of weeks ago. I don't think I shared it here yet. I was at a gig recently where I brought only my ukulele, and a friend of mine requested I would play The Weary Kind by Ryan Bingham. I said sure, then realized that I didn't have a guitar with me, so I had to figure it out in real time. Good thing he's a friend As an aside, I must say that I am totally addicted to request-only sets now. I never make a set list anymore, just show up with a guitar, banjo and uke and ask people if "Anyone knows a good one?" It's been very liberating, very enjoyable, and I'm sure to play a song selection that pleases the audience since it's based solely on their requests. Anyway, a cover of Ryan Bingham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BlackHatHunter Posted April 10, 2011 Members Share Posted April 10, 2011 More to come, but I'm off to playing outside with my kiddos masterbuilt: great song selection, fits your voice perfectly. I dig the Martin. What's the 5-string instrument behind you? Oh, and that looks like one fine couch to sit down on and strum for a long while stackabones: Tush, I love it! Great job man. Caught myself playing it on the uke after listening to your entry Terry Allan Hall: that's some sweet right hand technique right there. Beautiful picking can really enhance an already beautiful song. Etienne Rambert: I have a deep love for trem on a guitar... it always adds a special vibe skatalite: I enjoyed the line "And on that tide, The ship took us for our last ride." Michael Martin: I always look forward to your entry. Your sense of phrasing, along with the tone of your voice really do it for me. This song was no exception. LeonardScaper: There's a beautiful vibe, mood to this song.I agree with you, I think I'd keep it the way it is! g6120: in all my years in music, which now go back 33 years since I first set foot at the music conservatory in my home town in France, I've never one played in a sport coat, so you have my respect there All kidding aside, great song. Somehow I missed that album when it came out, I will go buy a copy. hypcollector: "hospitality holds a lofty place next to angels and the One of grace" is a great line, drinkin' song or not!

What's the 5-string instrument behind you? Oh, and that looks like one fine couch to sit down on and strum for a long while The five-string is a new Ohana ukulele that I will be reviewing for the magazine... there is another lying on the couch, too, a Martin #2 copy. We'll be giving away a 5-string in Issue 20 of Ukulele Player. The model is the TK-35G-5 (a tenor-sizes uke with two "G" strings). Check out the video and you'll get some idea about the tone.

Members TSMusic Posted April 10, 2011 Members Share Posted April 10, 2011 Greetings My entry this month is a song that I a few years back called March To Caeledon. Needless to say this ain't no lullaby. My guitar is a little brighter sounding than usual because those are fresh strings. Sad to say that this wasn't a once and done take, brain farts and hand cramps will do that. Enjoy! Tony [video=youtube;czZhXf9bUt8] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
