Sorry I haven't posted in a while... I have been REALLY busy. MY grades aren't too great, and I've been grounded on-and-off for the past week; but I've been working very hard on my music. We havn't filmed in a while because our bassist, Matt, can't come to band practice with the rest of us on Saturdays for a while, so he just comes to work with me every Friday, so we can work together and see what level he is at and how many songs he has learned. We will probably film today, but just with vocals/guitar. We don't have the drums yet, so Burak, our violinist and drummer, is practicing on my guitar hero drum controller (ROFL!). Belive it or not, it actually works and helps us keep timing.
We are spending like... $150 dollars in equipment: 2 Vocal Speakers, 2 Monitors, a gynormous mixer/PA system, fog machines, lights, microphones, cowbells, etc. and that's just renting them for 1 week!!! So yeah...
Once again: IT WILL BE STREAMING LIVE!!!!! MAKE AN ACCOUNT AND SUBSCRIBE TO BE NOTIFIED WHEN WE ARE PRACTICING LIVE AND WHEN THE BIG EVENT IS!!!
Oh! Also, we are going to start recording some covers and burn some CDs! We will be selling them really cheap Halloween night, or you can download them even cheaper online. Here's our band's profile. Make an account and become a fan to get free songs! There are some other really cool bands on there as well, like Forward Emotion. Check him out as well, He is our age and lives near us, too. He is our bassist's friend, so become a fan of him, also.
So.. yeah. That's about it. I'll probably post a couple videos via YouTube later on today of the band. Peace.
Transformation of a metal song to an emo song. Yay.
Song 1: Bold (Metal)
(Song 2: Italics, parenthesis) (Emo)
She seems dressed in all the rings
(She seemed dressed in all of me) Of past fatalities
(Stretched across my shame) So fragile, yet so devious
(All the torment and the pain) She continues to see
(Leaked through and covered me) Climatic hands that press her temples and my chest
(I'd do anything to have her to myself) Enter the night that she came home... Forever (Just to have her for myself) Oh... She's the only one that makes me sad (Now I don't know what to do, When she makes me sad) She is everything and more... The solemn hypnotic
(She is everything to me) My Dahlia, bathed in possesion
(The unrequited dream) She is home to me
(The song that no one sings,) I get nervous, perverse, when I see her it's worse
(The unattainable.) But the stress is astounding
(She's a myth that I have to believe in,) It's now or never
(All I need to make it real is one more reason.)
She's coming home... Forever (I don't know what to do,) Oh... She's the only one that makes me sad (I don't know what to do when she makes me sad.)
I wont let this build up inside of me
(I won't let this build up inside of me.) I wont let this build up inside of me
(I won't let this build up inside of me.)
I wont let this build up inside of me
(I won't let this build up inside of me.)
I wont let this build up inside of me
(I won't let this build up inside of me.)
I exist through my needs... to self-oblige
(A catch in my throat, choke,)
She is something in me that I despise (Torn into pieces, I won't. No.) I wont let this build up inside of me
(I won't let this build up inside of me.)
I wont let this build up inside of me
(I won't let this build up inside of me.)
I wont let this build up inside of me
(I won't let this build up inside of me.)
I wont let this build up inside of me
(I won't let this build up inside of me.)
I wont let this build up inside of me
(I won't let this build up inside of me.)
I wont let this build up inside of me
(I won't let this build up inside of me.)
I wont let this build up inside of me
(I won't let this build up inside of me.)
I wont let this build up inside of me
(I won't let this build up inside of me.) She isn't real
