A little while a go I got a message from Phil asking if all was OK as I had not posted anything recently well....

I present with the golden vocal chords of our very own Julibee    

Remix version Pieces (On the Floor)    

Original is still there for comparison   

The Lyric (By Julibee)

Pieces

(Where are you when I’m here?)
I can’t do this anymore
Leave your pieces on the floor
Hit me running with your lies
(Where are you when I’m gone?)
And I’m no good with goodbyes
(Where are you?)

How long did you think I’d be standing by your side?
How long did you think I could take it all in stride?
How far could you push me how far would it go?
What else could you say to me and what else should I know?

(Where are you when I’m here?)
I can’t do this anymore
Just leave your pieces on the floor
Hit me running with your lies
(Where are you when I’m gone?)
And I’m no good with goodbyes
(Where are you?)

I tried to heal you I tried to feel you I tried to love you

It’s all over but the crying all over but the tears
Its all over for the laughter all over for me, dear
Take your endless sighing your hopelessness and fears
Take your lies and whispers and walk away from here

(Where are you when I’m here?)
I can’t do this anymore
Just leave your pieces on the floor
Hit me running with your lies
(Where are you when I’m gone?)
And I’m no good with goodbyes
(Where are you?)

I can’t do this anymore
Just leave the pieces on the floor
No more running with your lies


Music etc by The Wookiee

All comments etc. welcome Julibee and I already have some ideas we just want to see what you good peeps think.

Cheers

Well, first let me say that I feel privileged to have been any kind of catalyst for helping to put this fine collab together.  It turns out that all is well in the Kashyyyk - Village Yoh Kay .  

I'll venture a guess that the music was already done when you guys set out to put this together, and that of course makes for a tougher assignment for the lyricist and melody writer.  I think that Jules did a great job within those constraints... that's not an easy piece to write and sing to.

I enjoyed it very much.  Great to have you both back!  Keep 'em coming.

Well, this is something unexpected from you John and it's really good.  Had a definite "Hawkwind" vibe to the muisic.

 Julies vocals are a really nice contrast to the grungy backing track and it all works very well together. Julie is one very versatile singer, as this track proves.

Interesting and intelligent lyrics by Julie as always.

Great work both.

Well done, kids.  

Phil: Thank you, your push was appreciated.  The track was more or less complete,  Julibee proved what a true talent she is.

John: True a nod to Lemmy, Dave and Nick is more than appropriate many hazy days passed with their help.  Thanks appreciate the listen and the comment.

Jan:  Thanks for the listen

Thanks to all the others who listened and a big thanks to Julibee who made it work.


Edit: Wookiee to Human translation failure plus I can not spell

So, you must be ok, cause this is good!  What did you use for drums on this?

  This is a delight to me being an old Sci-fi fan; this well crafted piece manages to be both retro and futuristic at the same time. Love the melodies, the well crafted sounds and lovely voice. Reminds me of the good old days when woman in space all wore miniskirts and matching panties that you got to see a lot.. Loved it you 2

I like the tune. It has a.. what.. Flock of Seaguls... sound that I have not heard in a while. I think its kind of a cool retro. Now for the bad news. Do you have a Melodyne, Autotune, or some other pitch correction tool? Jules' vibrato needs to be flattened. She sounds so much better when she does not use vibrato. The mix is in need of some serious help John. This is a surprise coming from you. It is very flat and lifeless. I am not sure where to begin for sure, but I would try getting the vocals to sound rich and clear first.

I like it, but the mix seems really muddy, to me. I think the vocals could stand out a lot more without changing the 'space grunge' vibe. Other than that, I think it's pretty cool!

Warren: Thanks for the listen and the comment, Toontrack's Superior drummer Metal Foundry is the drums of choice on this one.

Grant: The days of mini skirted Sci fi females oh yes I remember thanks for the listen and the comment.

Shad: Thanks for the candour, my first stab at doing something with vocals and this is really the first pass.  Needed some fresh ears to have a listen, all your points are noted and I will be taking another look at the whole thing.  Julibee has also mentioned a few ideas as well.

Brent: Thanks for listening as I said above this is a first pass, anyone who knows my stuff I do not normally have any vox so all input is welcome.
