PG Music Home Forums General Discussion User Showcase Alien Creatures. Collaboration with Tim.

Hi Folks.
My friend wrote this tune years ago... It was a sort of campfire song that he performed when stars came out. I tried to push idea for him to come and record this at my place, but unfortunately that occasion never took place. He got married recently and as a small gift to him, I made an arrangement and recorded this song. All BIAB tracks except for FX. With Tim's permission, I am uploading this to my soundcloud and sharing it with this community.

Alien Creatures



Lyrics:

Alien Creatures with animal features
Standing, standing over my bed.
I am asleep dreaming off sandy beaches
And deep blue skies over my head.

Alien Creatures with animal features
Looking for switches inside of my head.
I am asleep dreaming off sandy beaches
While my body twitches on my bed.

Run run run run away tonight,
Everything is gonna gonna be alright.
If you see my clone, I want you to know
That real me ain’t far from home

Run run run away like hell,
Otherwise you too will be under their spell.
They will send back home your empty shell
And no-one will be able to tell.

They take me aboard of their alien ship
And there’re others like me on this alien trip
And I see planet Earth, a blue dot below
And wherever we go, I don’t wanna go.

What if it’s an intergalactic feast,
We are just another course for their beast?
At least here I should try to resist
Because they are cloning us and no one was missed.

Alien creatures with animal features
Cloning our features and trying our switches.
Before they can get to me, something glitches
And I wake up inside one of their ditches.

I open my eyes and I clench my fists
And I look around. I decide to resist.
When I see a swarm of these alien beasts
I just jump right into their mists!

Alien creatures with animal features
They are not very good at securing their breaches.
Their pilot is dead and his body twitches
As I take control of his switches.

Big blue beautiful planet below.
I am coming in hot, I am coming in low
I defeated a host of these alien foes
And my UFO starts to glow.

I open the hatch and come outside
“Baby come out, there’s no need to hide”
But a sinister feeling is growing inside
The very second I see my bride.

I guess you ran and ran like hell
But it wasn’t fast enough for their alien spell
All I have left is an empty shell
And no one is able to tell.

I love the bride twist.
Excellent.

A really great tune, fantastic mix, fun lyrics, delivered at a dynamic pace.

I liked the sound effects too.

Every part of the song was enjoyable. Well done!

Hi Misha,

I was already scratching reading your lyrics. Very funny with a fitting happy end!
The melody is the melody is cheerful, but as I said, a bit itchy.
I wonder how you get the ideas for these kind of lyrics. I was wondering that with your other songs as well, but you keep surprising me pleasantly.
It looks like your vocals have more volume now (that is a compliment). The recordings are very clear, to my ears...

Nice day,
Hans

Yeah, I like this.

Love the lyrics, big tip of the hat to Tim! Really good vocal too, Misha. Is that your wife joining you at the end?

And I really like the production on this, starting out with just the electric piano, and then the little breakdown at 1:54 or so. And nice use of fx also.

Excellent!

Misha,

Quite a fun, wild 3 minute ride! A story well told.

Cool music and cool effects. The vocal has the perfect "frantic" feel - nicely recorded. Good mix.

Good listen.

Thank you for tuning in & excellent feedback!

Absolutely brilliant!!! Quirky (just the way I like it) - what a superb job. How on Earth your friend found some of those rhymes in the lyrics is beyond me ... and I love to write poetry, so ...... and the singing and arrangement made me smile from start to finish. Bravo, bravo, bravo - great stuff! :-)

Hi Misha,

I'm out of breath after listening to this. It feels like I've run a marathon! What a fun, fantastic, frantic festival of music and singing! This was awesome!

You and Tim deserve a huge round of applause!

Fun listen!

Good vocal, perfect backing tracks, nice mix.

Hey man, think you could cram a little more into three minutes?
How you got all those lines in is amazing.
The listener has no choice...just hang on!!

My head is spinning. And marveling at the coolness of this.

Your friend wrote a fascinating lyric and you did him justice
with a fine production!

Thank you for your kind words! I will point out your comments to Tim. He is very talented guy, but sometimes forget about that I have to persuade him to write more.

Excellent tune Misha. I found your backtrack very addictive. Super vocal and wild lyric. Well done...

HA, love this, quick song makes me feel good. Perfect mix here too. CLiff

Really cool tune!!! Great creepy feeling! And just in time for Halloween! Great job Misha!! Take care. Greg
