May 26, 2023 User Showcase Song - When I Get There

Wrote the song at the end of January 2023. The title comes from my songwriting friend, Ron Beliveau. He said he was working on a song with that title but decided to change it. A few minutes later I came up with the chorus and the song was halfway home.

May 25, 2023 User Showcase Song - Way To Go

Way To Go

We wrote this song with floyd eight years ago and this is a complete remix with new track fx and mastering. Of late we have had some success in getting tunes placed on some significant Spotify curator playlists. We thought this tune might be accepted by one of the acoustic oriented curators so back to the board for the new mix, etc. It was written with floyd during a time when J&B were not as far removed from our acoustic band days. So for the newer forum folks here’s another side of our productions and we hope you like it. As always your time to listen and comment are much appreciated. Thanks to floyd and PG Music!

May 17, 2023 User Showcase Song - Revenge Song

The idea for the song came to me after watching the movie "Blues Brothers" again.
There is a running gag with this girl trying to kill Jake Blues in several bizarre attempts.
I know a girl who behaved (more or less, minus the killing) similarly after a good friend of mine left her.

Revenge Song

Come to think of it, this could be part 2 of my last song, but the girl is no longer begging for "One More Time", she's starting to get serious.

The idea: make it loud and dirty
The result: it's loud and dirty

Feedback, good or bad, is as always very welcome.

Some background information:
apologies to Liam Neeson for the "Taken" quote. But the opportunity was just too tempting.
additional apologies go to my compatriot Johann Pachelbel. I hope the chorus doesn't hurt him too much...
a final apology to everyone for the overuse of the F-word. Believe me, I don't like this either.
But this f*cking girl really f*cked my friend's best friend and his sister. She told me herself.
before you ask: no, I'm still happily married ;)
with a little nudging, forcing and swearing you can do amazing things with guitar RealTracks

F-word usage approved by Marty. Thanks my friend :)

May 16, 2023 User Showcase Song - The Hardest Nut To Crack

This song started from the title, maybe some person was difficult to understand, can't recall, but the title inspired the rest of the story.

The Hardest Nut To Crack

I had very much fun writing the lyrics, I even tried ChatGPT, but it would have been too hard to teach it to understand my strange train of thoughts. It apologized several misunderstanding , but made the same mistakes again, so it is like a child. In the end, I used only couple of AI lines, and they are not even good...

This was a good rocking song to test the new Synthesizer V vocalist Ninezero. I didn't change the lyrics to match his Australian accent, so feel free to complain if an Australian would never use the words I gave him to sing. Good sounding vocalist, but it seems that changing his vocal mode parameters do not have much effect, hopefully I learn new tricks with the next songs.

Synthesizer V is going to have support for rap mode soon, I'll render those female parts in that mode when it is available.

May 15, 2023 User Showcase Song - Nevermore

Here’s almost something new . . .

Nevermore

. . . and by almost, I mean that I’m not quite sure if I’m done with it . . . and by that, I mean there are other things that I’m thinking of doing with it but not sure if I should . . . which is also to say, that I’m not sure it’s even a song worth spending more time on--my answer to which changes from moment to moment. So, I figure, why not put out what I have so far for some input to help me decide? It’s about the only thing new I’ve got going, for better or worse. Thanks in advance for the listens and feedback.

Here are the lyrics

May 12, 2023 User Showcase Song - Keep Singing Your Song

Keep Singing Your Song

I hit a dry spell recently when trying to develop new song ideas and I felt it would be a good time to go back and dust off an old one. I re-recorded several parts and re-mixed and mastered it! I am still needing to address the eq and compression on the lead vocal and especially the drums and will do so in time!

Those are secondary issues to me with this one though! The message of the song is by far the most important to me! Over the years I have seen many people come and go in this forum and it's a shame! Some have most likely become discouraged and maybe even given up on music making all together. Maybe someone reading this feels that way! My message is don't give up on making your music! No matter how professional sounding it is or not it will still serve a purpose! This forum is packed with talented song writers and performers who have all (with the exception of one or two) been supportive and encouraging to me (especially when I first showed up around here) People like Floyd, J&B and others made me feel so welcome and positive about making my music even when to me it didn't sound that good!

Every couple of years I try to update this song and post to try and motivate my fellow musicians here! These lyrics were written for you! Especially verse 2! Thanks for giving it another spin

May 11, 2023 User Showcase Song - Tyrian Twilight

Tyrian Twilight

All-Acoustic Tracks, except the bass. Couldn't find an acoustic bass track that wasn't too "boomy".

I had no idea what to call this after I finished it. For whatever reason, I remembered a continuing education class I had to attend to keep my certification when I was still working. The name of the class was simply "Color Coordination." It was brought to our (the attendees') attention that Tyrian Purple was one of the rarest and most beautiful colors the human eye can see. It's also very, very expensive to purchase anything with the dye needed to create the color, as the dye can only be created using an excretion of some sort from a snail found only in several areas of the Mediterranean Sea. OK - class over!

Hope you might find the song almost as pretty as the color.

Song Summary – Tyrian Twilight

* I changed the original guitar backing tracks from those in the style to the ones in this piece, as listed below.
* I also added the BrushesPop8ths as secondary percussion (very soft in the mix).

May 10, 2023 User Showcase Song - Some Of These Days

Some Of These Days

Another update of an old public domain classic.

Some Of These Days - Shelton Brooks 1919

Shelton Brooks and "Some of These Days" was brought to Sophie Tucker's attention in 1910 by her maid, who insisted she meet Brooks and hear the song. Tucker instantly recognized its hit potential, performed and recorded many versions throughout the years, and eventually it became her signature song—including landing movie appearances to perform it.

Tucker first recorded the song along with others on wax cylinder format in 1910–11. In 1926, on 78 RPM record format and backed by Ted Lewis and his band, Tucker recorded her classic, million-selling 1926 version, which stayed in the #1 position on the charts for five weeks beginning November 23, 1926, and re-affirmed her lasting association with the song.

"Some of These Days" has been recorded by many other artists, including Ethel Waters, Louis Armstrong, Cab Calloway, Bing Crosby, Bobby Darin, Ella Fitzgerald, Diahann Carroll, Judy Garland, Leon Redbone, and recently by Janice Merritt.

Janice – Vocals and arrangement.
I played some guitar and arrangement.
Bud recorded Janice and mastered the track.

May 04, 2023 User Showcase Song - Ambient New Age Spa Experiment

Here is a new piece of ambient new age/spa music that I created last night. I was talking with a friend of mine who likes to create ambient music for his own enjoyment, and since I had never created anything in that genre, I thought it was a good opportunity to try. I am quite pleased with how it turned out.

I've shared lots of details so you can try to create it yourself if you want to, since I have learned a great deal from what others have shared. I figured it would be a good piece of music to share.

Enjoy!
