AWHAM â€“ surprise ending

What a pretty girl, she must be from heaven
Her eyes are blue, and her hair is brown

I met her by mistake the day you left me,
When she flew her jet into town

Does she really likes me?
I donâ€™t know, but am ready to find out

Now sheâ€™s doctor and a lawyer
But runs an art gallery in her town
When she takes me out for ice cream
She buys me the whole god damn town

She holds my hand firm and steady
Looks at me and tellsme how

Does she really likes me?
I donâ€™t know, but am ready to find
She said yeahhhhh yeahhh

Do I really like her?
NO! god damn mother fucker she smells like a horse

Puce - Surprise Ending

I didn't like the original mix, so seeing as I was late anyways I went back and re-mixed/re-mastered.

This thread needs more ridicule. Oh, and don't forget this starts again Monday. I think.

I will start by ridiculing those crazy times.

Yep, Monday is a go.

Don't think I'll be in much this week. Might do one. Or two.

I'm not feeling so well, but here you go.

Bjam - Greatest Invention

Yay quiet! (Technically they was a 30 min skirmish, as I couldn't think of anything till ten o'clock.

)

Edit:

Lyrics:
Almost forever, sheltered from the outside
We'll be close from the day we're together
Even when we're apart, you'll still be close by
The world passing us by as a blur,

No one will have an expectation
There will be no discrimination
We'll share our own appreciation
As the world's greatest invention

Maybe Allah, or the birds and the bees
Will argue over it for weeks
But while they're fighting with their hate fuelled words
The thought had never occured (that)

No one will have an expectation
There will be no discrimination
We'll share our own appreciation
As the world's greatest invention

Or something like that...

Aww... That's the saddest song I've heard so far.

(Marcus just brought to my attention that my filename is bjam_greatestinvetion. I apologise.)

Adam! · Post by **Adam!** » Mon Oct 02, 2006 8:27 pm

Yes, banjos are indeed a great invention.
(That link is my song, if you couldn't tell)

MK: This is hands down my favorite Markus Kellis song. I'm still laughing at the spoken-word segment.

BJam: It may be that the rest of the songs are banjo-only, but that guitar sounds very full. Another song with a melody and preformance worthy of being in a real fight.

Mine: I got stuck on lyrics so I took an extra half hour, and I'm glad that I did. The evil game I'm singing about is World Of Warcraft, which I have lost a few friends to. I can only assume such rampant addiction is the product of a nefarious scheme to suck brainwaves. I don't know why the chorus vocals are so quiet.

Love the lyrics, Bjam. I actually get tingles up my spine reading those!

The lyrics are about sliced bread. From a piece of bread's point of view.

Wow, I'm loving the acoustic stuff from tonight. I might have a hard time not pulling out the banjo when I get home from work tomorrow.

Marcus - The banjo is a great complement to your voice. This is quite a lovely song.
Puce - This one is fun. I love the vocal and the harmonies and doubled vocals add a nice touch. Also great use of the banjo for rhythm (assuming that's tapping on the banjo head). Way to rock the banjo!
Bjam - Nicely done for a half hour of work. I like the perspective on the lyrics. Is that the new D-15? You did get a nice guitar sound on this one.
Plat - Well, hopefully the vitamin C and fluids will help. I thoroughly enjoyed your work last week and look forward to hearing more soon.

Provided I can come up with lyrics, I will try to join in on the next three evenings.

Title: Experiment 519
Due: Links posted by 7:30 PM pdt (90 minutes)

I won't be in this one, as I have a conflicting obligation. Still, I'm looking forward to whatever you guys (/girl, of course) come up with.

EDIT: Now I'm really glad I didn't do one.

Title: Last Chance to See
Due: Links posted by 7:30 PM pdt (90 minutes)

I'm trapped at work and won't be in this one either. My guess is neither will anyone else.

Bjam · Post by **Bjam** » Wed Oct 04, 2006 6:20 pm

I love that title, but I have a big test tomorrow, so I'm studying instead of writing/recording.

loner?
for some reason i was thinking slightly pornography Cure lyrics.
http://fvs.blaststream.com/testApp/shar ... ce2See.mp3

Last chance, last chance
To see the world with another eyes

Rip my eyes, throw them away
Give me new ones, to see what I missed
Rip my eyes, throw them away
Give me new ones, to see what you see

Last chance, last chance
To see the world with another eyes

The smell is foul, the sound is deafening
The sigh is fair, but the feeling is fading

And I got what I got, And I see what I see
And this moment of crazzynes got me down

Last chance, last chance
To see the world with another eyes
