Finally..New Material

Now the time is right... The anguish of my Mothers passing has ebbed, and the valve is once again open. I have 3 new songs in the works...One is metal / rap and actually has the makings of one helluva song. This one will be called "You Talk Too Much"... And YEAH...it's about someone that just won't shut up!! Always on the phone or with friends yaking away with little reguard for anyone else's thoughts or point of view! Those people that you have to actually raise your voice to almost a shouting level to be heard over, or before they get the message that someone else has something to say. Then they get offended that you were yelling to be heard over them! Everyone know someone like this and I happen to know several!! Well...This song is for you guys (that probably don't even know it's written about you, even if I told you it was!) SHEESH!!!
Song #2 is very mellow- dramatic... Effects Bass driven in sort of a Tool gendre... And it's called "Sweat"... About all the things that cause sweat. From the heat & humidity, to stress, to passion, to having the shit scared out of you, or adreneline rush. I really like the way the music of this song makes me feel but the structure is quite tricky... Even tho the song is repetitiously laid out, trying to get the vocal melody line woven in so it stands out without drowning out the nuances of the instrumentation is where the challenge lays... Think along the lines of a mellow Tool song with Nine Inch Nails style vocals and you'll be in the ball park!
The third song is upbeat and acoustic rooted... Not sure what I want to call it yet but it's a fun one... All I have so far for this tune is the basic acoustic drive that is the foundation of the song...There is more development to work through but it has been resurfacing in my head and won't go away. So... I think it's telling me to get off my ass and nail something to it cause it wants to be heard!..SO ALRIGHT ALREADY!!
More as I go!  LOL
