Had to let Kali the cat go due to allergy. Daughter instead got a hamster as replacement. Her name is bolt. Here s the song I wrote about her.

Will post real tracks used later. Have to find the info in the original biab file.


Again the vocal is synthesized.

Hope you like it.

Listen to 原创音乐 摇滚儿歌 - Bolt by Quekou #np on #SoundCloud

https://soundcloud.com/quekou/bolt


her name is Bolt
there she goes
around the wheel
furry balls rolls

she sleeps all day
she rolls all night
she seems so frightened
that she will bite

trapped in the cage
with no way out
wonder how she feels
never free even once

I definitely didn't expect a heavy rock backing for the subject, that was different.

Would be interested to see which tracks / style that you used.

I agree with Video Track - that was unexpected. Nice backing tracks for a hard rocker. Not sure of it marries up with the voice. But, great use of BIAB! Best to you,

Okay, that's such a cool thing to write a song about! And I have to say that I wasn't expecting it to have a heavier sound to it! I was expecting the song to be lighter and a bit more pop-y, so congrats on surprising everyone with this tune!

Thanks for the share!


Cheers,
Ember

Hello, quekou

Cool song.
The contrast of Vocaloid and backing track is very interesting.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Great work on this, quekou! I, like everyone else, was very surprised when I heard how heavy of a sound it had. Still, I really liked it! It has a lot of attitude, musically, and I really like the edge and groove in this tune.

Thanks so much for sharing smile


Cheers,
Deryk
