Hey hubski people! I'm new (obviously) and thought I would start my hub journey with a bit of lyrical sharing. I hope you guys enjoy! Creative criticism is welcome...but please be gentle.
This one is called: Leave the Prison Behind (Open Minds)
Capo 4th fret Abarr Gpositon Epos Cpos
What goes up must come down? Preoccupations will abound,
In this world of science and love, Forget to question life from above,
The answer was sought we’ve forgotten why, Because all we think is buy me my…
New car or stereo all the things I want, ALT-New car or stereo the Ipod not God,
And so life goes, isn’t it odd?
Gpos Dpos
Apos Gpos Cpos Dpos
Leave the Prison behind, Drowning in the money slime,
Spending our souls time, Drowning in money’s slime.
VERSE 2
Bankrupt on life to the debt of why, Into our cell of meaningless life,
Why are we here? Escape and try, To see the world without consuming eyes,
The places we go, people we’ll meet, There for us to change our beat,
The answer is still sought, let’s remember how, To become one positive vision now!
Repeat Chorus (END)
This one is called: Soul Care
(Spoken) Running away from everything I am and hiding in the dark,
I don’t know what to say-many frozen hands and many days stark,
And the demons-ringing the bells like the many words that burn,
The hollow and shallow distances erasing the things I’ve learned.(Spoken)
Capo On 2ND Fret
Did you know that you shine, Oh, when there's no light,
You see that face, That's given by good grace,
Didn't catch the mirror, You'll pass it again so look;
That blank stare you have, You don't know what's real,
Could you say, You've been yourself today,
What if you're not, Your just some robot.
(Chorus)
Ooo roll away skip away,
You've never been so far away.
(END)
Not my best pieces, but I'm not sure how safe posting is...copy right stuff or if I can even claim rights on my own songs somehow. This brings up another interesting point. Anyone know about this type of stuff? Copy righting that is. Thanks guys! Look forward to conversing and sharing ideas!
Welcome to Hubski! i think its pretty awesome that you put yourself out there like this with your first post. Cheers!
Are you going to record this song? Have you already? I look forward to hearing it.
You can learn more about Hubski here:
And feel free to reach out to me directly if you need any further help with the site. Rock on!
Here is one of the songs from that sample. It took me a bit of time to get it uploaded, as you may have noticed if you saw my convo with Devac
I do have an older version of it somewhere, but I was waiting to see what type of response it gets. I'm going to do an updated recording today or tomorrow after work andI'll be sharing that soon as requested!
Thank you!
Feeling at home already.
Hello! I hope that you will find this place to your liking :D.
I do like the song you wrote, although it might go a bit weird in my head. Since I have no idea about guitar notation, does this:
sound even remotely close?
Regarding copyright laws… I don't know much on the subject, I will delete the file if you don't want to allow using it or like my attempt.
edit: After listening to it I have to say that I don't know why it crackles so much. Sorry about that, I can replay it after exam if you would like to hear it in better quality.
Wow! I hadn't expected this kind of response. That is awesome :-) I'll have to record it and put it up for everyone to share. That sounds like a song you'd expect to hear in a Darren Arenofski movie or other similar directors.
You are more than welcome to use anything. Just so long as there is a credit to me somewhere- (not financial) -just a shout out.
Thanks!
I'm glad that you liked it :D. Since it's Hubski's Original Music Club I'll just put it out like that: if you would like to use my piano track or wished me to record my part for your track I could give it a try. There are a lot of people here who contribute with singing or various instruments.
My internet connection is giving me issues and basically being an out right jerk. I'll get a track up as soon as soundcloud and the router allow me. (Band camp failed me---it barely got past 2% before the signal crashed or whatever it does.)
I other news, I read your profile description and I must say, you sir are a badass in the best way. Keep the minds open and the lessons flowing!
No need to hurry, but I'll keep my anticipation on the 'high' setting while it uploads :D. I actually have some similar connectivity problems with YouTube from time to time.
As of badassery… thanks? This throws me in the loop since on one hand I don't get that while on the other don't want to be gauche and ask 'why?'. I'll assume that whatever it is, you have similar mindset and we are going to have some good discussions together :D. If you would like to join-in on some more interactive talk, feel free to get on Hubski IRC channel. I'm always there, if I don't sleep or have to seriously focus on some task I'm likely to answer in maximum an hour.
Well, I toiled with soundcloud and got mad at it. Then I saw the idea of youtube, so I hit up my native movie maker app with a blank photo and added the audio track. Voila! Success! It was a one take/first take recording on my phone, so please pardon the quality and the chord i missed.
Also, that's exactly what I meant! Similar thoughts on similar subject matter. (I have a bad habit of throwing people off, because I'm often out somewhere in left field so-to-speak)
Feel free to add to this if you'd like. I'd love to see what it could become!
I've had listened to it a few times and I do like it, even though it was so very different in my head. Seriously, I have interpreted your guitar notation as B♭ major and A G E C2 -> A G E C3 base accord which is maybe a bit too much ;). Although if you don't mind it being so somber I can continue it as in the above sample.
As of world/political views, I'm a really boring person to talk to about it. My default state that I try to maintain is "be excellent to each other" and it takes something major (as in "Deny Holocaust" major) in either life or discussion to change it. I doubt we will have any problems. :)
That sounds good to me. I had a friend once that played bass for me in a style that was very much progressive metal. I could call mine acoustic rock at best, I suppose.
It was amazing when we combined the two genres into what I would call groove rock lol
I'd love to hear what it can become!
