treesha Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 (edited) This is an old song from an old poem that I recently revisited. Probably the most I am very frustrated song I ever did. I used the old original lyrics recording melodyned to correct stuff, with some extra fx, and redid the rest of the parts. I used Ample SC, New Nation Blaque guitar, and Iron 2 for the rhythm guitar. I used Kontakt Abbey Road 60s Drums. A SampleTank 4 bass. I ai’d the art with a Microsoft thing. It looks like the area of Arizona I live near and love so I went with it. Hope I get some interesting feedback! Thanks, Treesha Here are the lyrics - They Lied Crucified, they lied No angel moves the boulder No resurrection no new direction Eclipse, the shadow doesn’t pass Darkness fills the weathered face No restoration no celebration Trapped Imprisoned ball and chain Survive on bread and water No thing obeys my orders Powerless Attempts are all in vain Defeated unsuccessful No acquisition no winning mission Wonder why wonder why Wonder why I wonder why Answers just become another Thing I do not have Why try why try I wonder why I wonder why Solutions just become another Thing I cannot do etc......

equality Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I like your new wave style or whatever it should be called. Understand the vocal effect, I think, and it's nicely balanced by the natural sounding background choir. Original and interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just picked rock. Thanks for listening and your feedback. Glad to know you think its original and interesting. As for the vocals, the lead is supposed to sound distorted and frustrated, and I liked the way the backing vocals sound in contrast and I did want that kind of contrast between the two. Thanks again, Treesha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timboalogo Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I enjoyed this one too, treesha! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark skinner Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Cool track Treesha. It sounds pretty "punk" to me. On occasion I would visit a dive bar in Huntsville with live punk bands. When a song like this started they would all flood the dance floor and start slamming. You captured the same energy! Enjoyed it .. mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoyed it .. mark Hi mark, Thanks for listening and your feedback. And the memories... yes punk, this song is about the only one or one of a few Ive ever written with this kind of energy. I meant it that way and glad it came thru that way. Glad to know you enjoyed it even in its angsti-ness, and it brought back memories of those crazy unique times. Cool.

bjornpdx Posted Friday at 07:44 AM Share Posted Friday at 07:44 AM Have to admit I was a little put off by the vocal effect. but it grew on me after the 2nd listen. I like the two personalities playing off each other and the overall energy of the song. Nicely done. -Bjorn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad it grew on you. Doubt I will ever use this style again but it all carried how I was feeling. I had a hard time mixing it so ty for the nicely done. Now back to normal singing,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy j Posted yesterday at 09:48 PM Share Posted yesterday at 09:48 PM Yes kind of punk-ish or New Wave-ish. I like the vocal effect and the interplay with the background vocal. I thoroughly enjoyed this. Well done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treesha Posted 20 hours ago Author Share Posted 20 hours ago Hi freddy j, thanks for listening and your feedback. Glad you liked the way I did the vocal parts and the effect, It is pretty different for me to make a song in this style but it had to be this way. I'm thoroughly enjoying your positive comment !
