New song: Ring Song

[maddrummerdude]

Hello everyone

 

Thankfully, I have had access to several pianos since I have been studying abroad. Therefore, I have been able to make more music.

 

This song is called "Ring song." The song is here: http://www.myspace.com/colinkohtzistight

 

Here are the lyrics:

 

"Here's a thing that I want to sell

Fished it out of a wishing well

Can't complain 'cuz I've got it good

Wanted more than I thought I should

 

It's a rock that was someone's ring

Packed and forged in a shining spring

Bright as hell and white as a dove

It's a mark of an ancient love

 

Now it's mine and I want it gone

Burning fingers with its sweet song

Maybe bury it under trees

Can you take it please, maybe please

Oooooh, please."

 

The song is about a guy who picks up a ring out of a wishing well, and finds out that it was a wedding ring owned by a couple hundreds of years ago who was in love. He tries to get rid of it, but he can't.

 

Thanks for the feedback

 

edit: After listening to this song with a somewhat unbiased ear, I don't think it is very good. I'm going to try to finish a new song and post it here instead.

Edit: If you hear people talking in the background, that's because I was watching the 49er game while I was recording. Hehhehe...

Hey mdd,

 

If I ever want to just chill out and relax I'd either put in Enya or your CD. Good job.

 

Cheers,

Thanks man. I'm not very pleased with this song actually, now that I listen to it again. I feel like the last couple songs I've done have all been way too similar and slight. I'm working on a new one (which might get finished today) that I think isn't as twee and actually has some meat. If I finish it quickly enough, maybe I can change the focus of this thread to that song.
