Members polishpaul Posted March 29, 2011 Members Share Posted March 29, 2011 For your consideration..... A little taller and I'd see over the wheel, And I'd drive my life.....my lifeMy life......it's no big deal..........I'd drive my life Like a pickup truck. The number of "my life"s can be adjusted to fit with whatever else you're doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Lee Knight Posted March 29, 2011 Author Moderators Share Posted March 29, 2011 That's cool^ But... it's time for me to work out some groove and cadence to this beast. Then I can better work those details. I haven't done this in a while. Fun. So now, I'll start singing what's in my head into a handheld while a drive. Then I'll plug the groove I'm hearing into Pro Tools and go from there. I think. I got absolutely nothing done at work today. Except this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Lee Knight Posted March 29, 2011 Author Moderators Share Posted March 29, 2011 Pickup truck is better. I'll just have to quiet my inner voices. The voices in my head may not be real, but they have some good ideas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll tell you one thing, it sings really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll tell you one thing, it sings really well. You do get a nice strong "I" at the beginning of each phrase. Run with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LeonardScaper Posted March 30, 2011 Members Share Posted March 30, 2011 You do get a nice strong "I" at the beginning of each phrase. Run with it. I see that now.......think it's a good musical line. Definitely 'drive' rather than 'steer'. Much more assertive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members polishpaul Posted March 30, 2011 Members Share Posted March 30, 2011 Quite so, Leonard..............here's my take on why....... The word "steer" has one of those 'joining' sounds, like when you say "the egg".....it works out as "theeyeg". But "steer" ends on a 'schwa', which is what English teachers call the lazy vowel, as at the end of 'doctor'.......no 'r' sound, and no standard vowel sound......as in the first and third 'a' in 'banana'. So, IMO, "steer" is weak, whereas "drive" on ends a strong consonant........."steer" is fading out as you progress through the sound of the word, but "drive" maintains sonic momentum throughout. I know, I know......I should get out more . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
