Umm... yeah so this dude
colson who a lot of musical furries may already know is asking people chip in and do something with a guitar intrumental he submitted recently and this is something I came up with today.
My throat's really sore so I didn't sing this very well... >.< but it was a lot of fun adding a melody and lyrics to this blank canvas.
Yeah, I can whistle pretty strongly as well XD as you can hear at the start.
As per usual I've gone for an emo theme. Well it sorta just happened upon hearing the guitar track.
So to be clear, the rhythm guitar is played by
colson
The vocals/harmonies/whistling(lol) and flanged picking pattern plus the lyrics and melody were all added in by me.
Thanks Colson, I had fun :3 It was a cute idea to let people play around with this.
LYRICS:
Too late... too late to say those things I wanted to hear
That's right... that's right, just walk away
when I'm talking (as usual)
you never change and I can not keep up this charade
for them, not for anyone...
not even for you...
oh...
What happened to us?
I don't even know.
There were people and places
we could go.
oh~
What happened to us? I wish I knew...
I wish I knew...
Too long... too long I was biting my tongue, though it's futile
it's true... it's true I've bled a thousand times before
These cruel words keep choking us when we talk... why can't we talk?
Why Must you keep on testing me?
(chorus)
I wish I knew
what to make of this
what to make of this
so Do me a favour
Leave the ring on the sideboard when you leave
and I will believe that you're gone...
(chorus)

Well I wanted to post up what I had so far and maybe redo it and add more harmonies, but my pc decided to give up the ghost today!! Argh. If I manage to fix it I may be able to sort this out better but I don't know how I can manage it if my pc is officially dead for some reason x__x!
Really happy u enjoyed it :3!! Thanks for hearing it xx

Its odd for me trying to write a song with someone elses backing as a base, so I felt a bit uncertain singing it. I hope if I get to give it another shot I could give it more strength somehow. Its an odd key with a high melody and requires a strong way of singing it I think, which I feel oi can do better. My sore throat didn't help either!
If my pc isn't dead, I may get another go at this. I have to wait and see if I can revive it tomorrow :x
Oh its a shame you can't show us what you could come up with for this too, I would be interested to hear it.

Yeah its a little odd singing a song I wrote quickly according to someone elses backing. I'm used to the song now but when I recorded it I had a short time to get it done and didn't gel with it as well as I probably would if I were to give it another go.
Never the less, I'm glad it was ok by you. Thanks as always x

I was hoping you'd chime in and do something! I wasn't disappointed. You're a very talented singer and you did a fantastic job! Keep the vocals around as I may end up requesting them from you to do a mix and master for the album, as you'll most certainly be a front runner based on the performance here.
Thanks for the interest!

Oh that's great... I'm glad it was ok. I know its a little awkward but I may try to "perfect" it a little when I get a chance (if I do... My pc actually just gave up the ghost today :s). If it turns out the computer is dead I will need to redo this in order to give you anything unless I can recover the data. We will have to see what the verdict is after I replace the psu tomorrow.
Anyway. I wish I could have sung this better but I am glad you find it acceptable. And thank you so much for taking a listen, I'm quite pleased!
It was fun :) I didn't even think much about the attempt going towards your album, I was just inspired by the guitar part you submitted to FA.
Thanks again hun x x

Hmm I haven't thought about it as a duet. It isn't out of the question at all. I've never written a song which was a duet, I think maybe it is different to writing a solo song.
I don't mind singing with other people at all :3 but I'm not good at choosing songs so you would have to do that bit ;)

Oooohh look, two of you said the same thing XD How funny.
I know of the cranberries, I remember when I was younger I used to like a particular song by them. I think I know what you're saying about the similarity. Thanks for taking a listen Pepper, I appreciate it a lot as always :) x

It's rare to hear a singer who doesn't use AutoTune nowadays and it puts a big smile on my face when I listen to you sing =)
You have a fantastic singing voice and talent! You have control of your voice and you know how to use it.
To nitpick on one thing, however: Your breathing technique could be improved. I can hear you struggling with the higher notes and a few of the transitions between the bars.
It didn't at all affect my listening experience, though; I thoroughly enjoyed it ^^

Well, thank you very much indeed :) I hate autotune :< It's abused needlessly these days, which I just dislike because it's like singing is a lost art in the mainstream at least... which is sad indeed. :/
I have never had any vocal training or done much singing outside of my bedroom :x! I am sure I could improve my singing and the way I achieve the right sound etc. In this particular instance I didn't get the opportunity to choose a comfortable key since this was someone else's instrumental, and also I was suffering another bad throat episode x___x;;; I've had a few of those lately so I was pushing myself. Then my PC died so I had no time to fix the things I can hear are wrong either... and then I moved house! I got too busy to improve upon this version, and it's a shame because I wanted to do my best for Colson before he pushed the album out. But, oh well... at least I had fun doing this. I really did enjoy it and it's nice to do something a bit different to my usual style too!
Thanks for the contructive comment I do appreciate it :3! X Sorry for the late reply, I have only just got my internet sorted out after moving house :x!

+watch!

Aww XD That's great! He's so talented and I am so pleased that his album is selling well. I saw a lot of support for him on his journals and such and it makes me happy that he is getting the much deserved recognition. Thank you very much for stopping by and telling me what you thought of my contribution x
Bah I wish! I dont have great equipment and I don't really have the ideal set up here at home, sharing a house with a shift worker and a parrot makes my life (musically) a pain in the arse. I don't want to get evicted either lol! XD!
In an ideal world I would be singing my heart out every hour of the day :x! :3 thanks for the sentiment though, I appreciate the support a lot :)! x
