This is a song Just Us Caruso did (which I found on Collected Animals).He posted it asking for someone to do vocals, so I gave it a shot. Unfortunately I'm too lazy right now to go back and fix the panning that got messed up in the bounce. So it's just mono which kind of ruins the effect on the vocals (for the imaginitive: picture the words wrapping around your ears more, being spread apart, bigger).
when i was younger i always wondered what if gene simmons was here? with nick and sophie it'd be real low key we'd all share a beer and nicole richie walked in, unexpectedly bitchy because what she heard in the news that everyone and their ma's were freakin out cause the first pictures of suri cruise dude
peace out life get ready for the end.
i'm trapped in wisdom and sneaky suspicions that jett travolta's still alive and blanket jackson shouldn't have been subjected to live life in pantomime and shiloh and maddox will be blowin out wicks until six becomes nine but all this chatter doesn't matter because the revolution will not be televised
Although some songs have resulted from coming back to them weeks later, like "Innocent and Pretty", "Key Bored" (which I still need to think of a better name for), and probably another one.
I actually did change Kroger up a tad, as promised.
Can you spot the changes?
- retracked lead vocals - polished up the background vocals - added lead guitar - changed the sound of the drums a bit, they're dryer, more upfront as opposed to sounding like cardboard boxes (in my opinion they did at least) - something with the bass (it sounded a bit too muddy before, it might still I forget if I actually addressed this oops). - etccccc.
I certainly could have written better lyrics. Oh well, I like how it turned out. The instruments need to be mixed up to the vocals, I left them up from when I was tracking them and bounced it without remembering to revert it to normal.
there isn't much i wouldn't do in the name of you all you have to do is catch me in the right mood when your cheeks are burnin fire truck redyou'd think you'd be learnin it's all in your head that you don't deserve the things that all your kindness brings you see it is the truth i'm only trying to prove that i love you and wanna hug you until we both shave our heads
"crawling through my things you think you're funny" excuse me while i sneeze i'm allergic to bologna don't expect me to believe that story "what is it you think you're doing always assuming?
that i was out too late snuck in the fire escape turned off my phone and i was not alone but even if it's true what'd you expect to do leave me standing here you think i'd even care? i'd leave you with nothing they'd put you in cuffs and take away the kids no matter what you did you'll try and try and waste your money but i won't let you leave me honey"
well that's what you said and that's what you think aimed at your head i didn't even blink
Sometimes my favorite part of an album are the little vingettes, little sound collages in between the singles. (The most prominent of these: No Age, M83, Boards of Canada, Spoon, Of Montreal etc.). I know I've not come near the emotional magnitude of I Guess I'm Floating, but the idea behind it was a breif inspiration to just make some noise.
I wrote and recorded this yesterday. I have faith in it. I also don't have the time to finish it at the moment. So before I do anything else, I'd like to know what you'd do in the name of art. It's a solid Buddy Holly-esque pop song. All I've done so far are guitar, drums, bass and vocals. Granted, that's all you need. I'll probably just re-do the vocals and end it at that.
i don't want to be another stupid boy that you think is a cute and funny toy that you stole from your friend who called me first just to prove you could get me why don't you purse your lips my dear get ready for a kiss but watch me as i duck and do what i never did
hold on girl you've got another thing coming for you
let's meet before the bell for school spend a day in the park with nothing to do i get a hint of your lovely perfume who knew so much fun could be had in the women's bathroom i find it funny that we both agree it was a good thing that you were bloody
hold on girl i got a nothing thing coming for me
you'd think that i would make a move but i'm too young and dumb to have a clue don't forget you're the one who's older so why'd you take advantage of me behind the kroger where we rolled in the grass before i knew it was over and now it's all in the past
hold on girl you've got another thing coming for you
