Members mbfrancis Posted May 12, 2015 Author Members Share Posted May 12, 2015 New mix, I wonder if I even *need* words on the bridge, maybe just leave the guitar solo? http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=13121479 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rhino55 Posted May 12, 2015 Members Share Posted May 12, 2015 I'm curious, I've seen you mention it a couple times now, what's the aversion to mentioning alcohol? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mbfrancis Posted May 12, 2015 Author Members Share Posted May 12, 2015 I'm curious, I've seen you mention it a couple times now, what's the aversion to mentioning alcohol? I mention it or allude to it in almost *every* effing song. So individually they all work and make sense, but collectively, it feels like a cheap device..."just add alcohol (or drugs) - instant drama and instability!" And maybe some authenticity..."look how hardcore and open I am about stuff." Dunno, feels like a crutch. There's other stuff to write about. This was my attempt to write about stable, contented marriage and it came out well, but wow it was really really hard to write. So I keep going back to alcohol...

Members rhino55 Posted May 12, 2015 Members Share Posted May 12, 2015 I can see that. FWIW, I never thought it was problematic with your songs, then again, to me it just kind of rings true because that's the way it is sometimes. I definitely think setting those goals for ourselves can be good thing. It forces us out of our comfort zone. That's usually a good thing for creativity.

Members LCK Posted May 13, 2015 Members Share Posted May 13, 2015 Wrote a bridge yesterday, no words but a guitar plays the melody...maybe too boppy? http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=13120671 Here's a rough piano/vocal for vibe (dummy words): http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=13120679 Nice. I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mbfrancis Posted September 20, 2015 Author Members Share Posted September 20, 2015 OK I went back to the drawing board a bit on the arrangement and did this today. Still in progress, but let me know if you think it works and holds together. Bridge still needs lyrics. Too many FX and bleeps in the verse, I know... http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=13215508 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rickidoo Posted October 12, 2015 Members Share Posted October 12, 2015 I love the new version - starts up and grabs me in a much more emotional level then the original. It's melodic. And the lyrics grab me. production A+ I've never had an alki problem, but this song makes me feel the chill and pain of it and the consequences it brings. Home run.
