Re: The Perfect Prefight Thread (Ease Your Storm)
Sounds like the title of a Chas & Dave-style Cockney knees-up where the singer discuses another chaps same-sex marriage partner - assuming that you are comfortable replacing the word "trouble" with less common "storm" in the phrase "trouble and strife". "Ease Your Trouble" would be a better title. It could have endless amusing references to horses, ginger beer, Doris Day and the Khyber Pass.
I think I'll leave that one for the Ukulady Boys.

It took a while to find some lyrics and a groove for this one, It doesn't seem to lend itself to anything aggressive in my mind so that's a stretch.

Ray Harryhausen is awesome. I will hear no anti-harryhausen sentiments. none.AJOwens wrote:I'm not going to watch Clash of the Titans, not even for research. Ease your storm, dude.

edit: yes I know about the remake but I will pretend i do not because it did not need to be made
Notes for reviews: "Stronger vocal" means several things at once. Tighter timing, more confident pitch, arranging in your range.
If I'm not commenting on your drums it means they were pretty good.

Re: The Perfect Prefight Thread (Ease Your Storm)
thinking about getting back in with this one
hopefully make a fair sophmore song
the quality might not be great though not by any good equipment at the moment
i feel like this title is just to good to pass up
"Lets just ease your storm
With our bodies" keeps ringing through my head
please don't steal those lines i already got the lyrics written mostly

Re: The Perfect Prefight Thread (Ease Your Storm)
Ha! We wrote a pretty good entry we're really proud of. The vocal performance took it all out of me so that alone makes it worth sharing. So we loaded the SF! page to brag and surprise, surprise...we had remembered the title wrong!
So we hope you'll enjoy our "Calm Your Storm" while listening to all the actual entries. There's no way I'm re-doing those vocals.

Re: The Perfect Prefight Thread (Ease Your Storm)
As if I stood much of a chance in a two Durand fight, I'm in.
EDIT: I'm not going to brag about the lyrics or the competence of the performance, but I am going to brag about cramming all the verses and choruses into 2 minutes, thus allowing a minute of soloing in a 3 minute song. Short enough to be released on a 45 single!
