Re: Nur Ein VIII- Round Six
What is an epic story song?
I work at epic systems, can I write about my job?

If I had a dollar for every one of my songs j$ has called a 90s pastiche, I'd have $1 for every song I've written.

Re: Nur Ein VIII- Round Six
Too late. I already wrote a song about computer programming. If I get eliminated, it's on your heads, judges.

To truly classify as an Epic, your lyrics must be composed of at least twenty separate books.

Re: Nur Ein VIII- Round Six
psssst....if anyone needs any help, I will let you have this cheap:
Just change the word "week" to "weekend", and change the word "beach" to "city" and you're golden. Ticks all the boxes. It's a Songfight winner and a proven Nur Ein performer. You can't go wrong

Ben Krieger and Furry Pedro get special Wildcard entries.
I would be happy with that - to hear the NY/London smack down.
(I don't even know if Pedro lives in London - but England is so small - I guess all of it is London. Right J$?)

Re: Nur Ein VIII- Round Six
The Cavedwellers have studied under the great Ben Krieger, we once backed him up on a live version of Cable Beach.
I agree Ben would have owned this challenge. We have some epics in our old catalog, it's nice to have motivation to do a new one!

I think this is the only potentially epic song Erin and I have made:

Oh hey, what are you guys all up to? I've just been kicking back with a book and some LPs and watching some baseball. It's pretty sweet.

Re: Nur Ein VIII- Round Six
Getting hammered and reading the internet, with the occasional outburst on acoustic guitar. My songwriting process is very organic, you see.
If I had a dollar for every one of my songs j$ has called a 90s pastiche, I'd have $1 for every song I've written.

Re: Nur Ein VIII- Round Six
Wrote "Scientific 7" for Songfight, recorded part of it. Went to the beach. Wrote up ideas for a "Nein" version of "Weekend in the City". Trying to figure out why my mixes sound half the volume of everybody elses, and how to sing/ play/ record/ mix better...

Re: Nur Ein VIII- Round Six
Do you run a "maximizer" plugin on your main outs? This video explains it pretty well:
Re: Nur Ein VIII- Round Six
Thank you! Using Audacity right now, and maximizer isn't in the basic plugins. I can run a limiter + normalizer, tho. I'll try that this week.

That said, FP lives close enough to London that we performed together on stage as recently as February this year. I was amazing, him ... let's just say "Not London"

If I could get a decent vocal take before midnight, I would be so happy.

Not all of us are blessed with a perfect voice, paco.
This beer may help with nourishment, but it will probably not help my song.

Re: Nur Ein VIII- Round Six
We suffered some last minute technical difficulties but our song is on its way, a touch late. We throw ourselves on the mercy of the judges.
