Enjoy -James

James, you're on to something here.  I liked the main body of the song to begin with, but it has a few twists and turns that I didn't expect which made me like it even more.  Can't wait to hear the finished version.

Hi Lynn , thanks for the listen . This music took me around the beaten path four times over untill I finally ended up with this , the bad cold I was dealing with for over a week didn't help the creative process either .
I almost gave up on it but thought no I can't do that just because I feel bad so just keep hammering away .
Finally the cold went away and I was able to get this finished , now I'm working on lyrics scouting around on the internet searching for song writing tips from music sites.
I have some of the lyrics taken from an old song and plan on rewriting those lyrics so it works with this music I posted here .
 
As you know I'm not as good of a song writer as some of you on this forum , mainy because I don't work at it as much as some of you do .
I have decided to give up the electronic side of my goals and start spending more time on creating music that can be turned into songs with lyrics and vocals .
That means I'll have to spend the next five years working on hammering out good lyric writing skills and work with my vocals more .
 
Thanks again Lynn taking the time to listen to my music , it means alot to me .
Maybe someday I will be as good as you and some of the other good song writers and musicans are with lots of practice and hard work .
Like the old saying goes , nothing is free you have to earn it so I better get cracking .
 
Thanks Buddy -James

Thanks , I just made some small lead changes in the two verse sections and added alittle something extra to my bridge section .
Not sure if I will use this new version or just stick with what I have posted , I guess whatever works best with the lyrics I plan on writing for this music . It has to be singable so it sounds the way I want it to sound vocal wise .
The lead melody I think has alot to do with the way you express yourself as you sing so right now I'm messing around with two slightly different lead  versions to work with and try out when I start adding vocals .
My chorus section I won't change ,I now have my lyrics written for that part of the song . Its the two verse sections I'm trying to focus on when working with melody and lyrics .
 
Hey thanks for the listen and comments - James

Hi James, had a chance to listen to this, sounds cool :). Reminds me of 80s series theme music, which is not a bad thing :). I sit doodling on my XF8 doing stuff like this. What plans do you have for it?. I never seem to go beyond the doodle personally, but they are nice tunes. I have found I definitely approach writing a lyric song differently to a musical piece too.

Most of my lyrical songs of recent years have actually been my wifes penmanship, then me putting music to it. I do however still write songs, just more sporadically, if left to my own devices :).

Thanks Tony , sounds like you and your wife share a close bond in partnership and music which is cool .
I was working on my lyrics yesterday for this song and realize this lead melody in this version posted isn't going to work the way I thought it was so last night I started creating a new lead melody track thats more inline with the old 1996 version  .
Anyway thats where I'm at right now trying to find a melody that will work with the lyrics I'm rewriting from the old version of this titled song .

Thanks for the listen and comments , time to get back to the song and see where that new melody track takes me today .

Thanks again -James

Hey friends , I just finished recording my new vocal track for this song posted now  . I ended up having to redo the lead melody track before adding my vocals , I might post this new version with vocals tonight for some feeback .

Thats my update on this song in progress, cheers !

It sounds good, James, and I think vocals will help break up the tune some.  I'm waitin' to hear them!  Mix sounds good.  I like that "beat break" mat about 2:25 or so.

Thanks buddy , take a listen now . I made alot of little changes , new lyrics and now first vocal mix .
Its not perfect but this is my first vocal mix , I plan on going back over it a few more times and try to smooth things out but for now this is a pretty good start .
I added words to that bridge section your talking about too , let me know what you think thanks .
 
Cheers -James
