Members Stackabones Posted August 6, 2010 Members Share Posted August 6, 2010 What has influenced you as a songwriter in the past ... or since the last FIT? * I think Ockeghem's Deo Gratias sounds like infinity. [YOUTUBE]rzBhYMvnMKQ[/YOUTUBE] * Would you like to host the FIT? This will be my last one to host. Talk amongst yourselves and select a host (I don't need to approve of your selection). While I may still post in future FITs if they are still around, I will not be hosting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mathewsnow Posted August 6, 2010 Members Share Posted August 6, 2010 Benji Cossa & the Tightens - 'Indian Princess.'Benji is simply an amazing, thoughtful songwriter. He's got such a diverse and vast catalog of material, and has inspired me to take a more gentle approach to my songwriting:http://soundcloud.com/seriousbusiness/06-indian-princess If y'all dig this, check out Serious Business Records as a whole.They're putting out some really great music!http://soundcloud.com/seriousbusiness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Lee Knight Posted August 6, 2010 Moderators Share Posted August 6, 2010 Stack, that's beautiful. Remember the first time you managed a C chord on the guitar and the heavens opened. "I made that sound." That's what that is. Awesome. Speaking of heaven. This song by Andy Partridge and XTC. Dear God. It keeps getting better. What makes it special is... well, it says more about the doubter that it does about God. If there is one. Andy tapped into the dumbfounded disappointment and rage us silly flesh and bloodies can feel. The indignity of our powerlessness sometimes. And now I hear it and I think, "We're not powerless. Hey... it's OK. Sometimes things smell of {censored}. It's OK. It sucks but it is. What are we gonna do? Sit around and blame a deity? If there is one? Oh there is? Is it his fault? No? Yes? There isn't one? there is?" It speaks more about the doubter. It's wise to doubt. I'm not taking this sitting down!!!! Great tune. Listen again and read along with these lyrics. Completely devoid of cliche and yet totally universal. [YOUTUBE]wGEA8ya4XyM[/YOUTUBE] I can believe in me can't I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rhino55 Posted August 6, 2010 Members Share Posted August 6, 2010 One of the songwritters I gig with called this one last night. It was pretty tight considering we'd never played it together before then, but it came together really nicely. Harmonies on the chorus and a little space to noodle on my guitar [YOUTUBE][/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
