They say I'm a real K9
This song has been in the making for quite a while because I wasn't satisfied with the vocals. They didn't really transfer the feeling of loneliness as I would have liked them to. I smacked some pitch correction on the vocals and it sounded "good" like in "of course it sounds good"...kinda way.
I tried looking for someone who could record some vocals for me instead but that plan didn't go as well as I had hoped. So after a while I listened to the song again and decided to actually use the pitch corrected vocals. I re-recorded some vocals and mixed the entire track. I thought, oh well if it doesn't get any better, I should post it nontheless. So here it is. Hope you like it.
Faves and comments are highly appreciated. If you got some constructive criticism, I'd be more than happy to hear it.
lyrics:
Verse 1
They say there is a canine in the city
Handsome, purehearted and only a bit silly
They said he was looking for me
but I dont know why it has to be me
They said just go and meet him
but I'm nervous and shy to see him
Refrain
I dont want to find out
and I want to run away
dont Want to know what's it all about
if it's really true what they say
I dont want to find out and I want to run away
dont Want to know what it's all about
if it's really true what they say.
Verse 2
They said that I passed my canine certification
I'm a real canine now and no random creation
They say it's true, no need for fear
But I dont feel safe I still feel like a deer
Refrain
But now I want to find out
and I wont run away
Want to know what its all about
is it really true what they say?
I want to find out and I wont run away
Want to know what its all about
is it really true what they say?
SOLO
Verse 3
They said I will stay forever alone in the city
lonesome, on my own and noone has some pity
They said that I needed to move
but I don't see a reason for them to prove
that I cant do anything on my own
Refrain 2x
But now I finally found out
That I wont run away
I now know what its all about
Nothing is true about what they say!
I want to find out and I wont run away
I now know what's it all about
Nothing is true about what they say!
I finally found out
That I'm not alone
(not alone)
I finally found out
That I got a live on my own
I finally found out
that I'm not alone
(not alone)
I finally found out
that I got a life on my own!

A little trick i've been doing lately on my songs is to record two separate vocal tracks singing the exact same thing. It gives the vocals a more powerful sound, it also livens up dull vocals and, if it's slightly out of tune it will hide that. Gives them a natural reverb and chorus sound, but you have to sing both track exactly the same, which is where auto-punch comes in handy
It has a really nice pacing throughout and I do love the beefier ending that could be a metaphor as the rest of the song is calmer to be linked to the uncertainty of finding your ground then you found your destiny in the end, hope there's a continuation about the life lived since then soon
I see that you understand the message of the song. The direct one "and" the indirect one. ;) It is indeed a story of someones personal development. It's a song that is very close to my heart and even up to this day I still love listening to it. ^.^ My songs usually evolve from a very strong feeling about something and if it's strong enough I can write a song about it. That's also the reason why my uploads are a bit sporadic because I'm not able to write songs just like that. It takes something that is so present in my life that I'm able to put it into a song. :) Also thanks a lot for the kind words. =3
A song without meaning is not a song to me.
I'm the same, last thing I wrote was last year about Dogbomb, took me 2 months to write it because every time I tried I just ended up crying, haven't read it since I finished it because it makes me start again, I wrote 2 songs last year, might get work started on them this year or next.

Yeah it's quite fascinating just how powerful music and lyrics can be. :) I try to make songs that revolve around the furry fandom so I usually make either happy songs that depict aspects of the furry fandom from my point of view without being too extreme but suggestive and silly.^.^ Or as in this case about the personal development of a young furry who finds his own way and grows stronger as a person that can take things into his own paws. ^.^
