My house got flooded once. My N64 floated outside. It was cool. I got tons of new sh[i][b][/i][/b]it from insurance :thumb:

The name of the song should be feeder. Were in the process of writing the music for it. I was working on drum tracks earlier today.

Sounds like a good title. Good luck with the song!

You wrote the lyrics before the music? I always do that afterwards.

I suck at instruments (well, I suck at guitar chord changes and I have small hands) but I'm a good writer, so I stick to lyrics.

The part in H where Maynard sings " Snake behind me hisses, what my damage could have been. My blood before me begs me, open up my heart again" gives me the shivers every time i listen to it

We write a little different than most. Sometime one of us will have a riff idea and well build on it. What we usually do is talk about what we want the song to be about and describe the emotions involved with it. Then well chart these emotions and start putting them to music.

Example. Say your writing about someone getting pissed off.

You would think of all the emotions involved with it. You have the feeling of normalcy before the event happens so this is where the song starts. You then have the act of what it is that pisses you off, that goes into the realization of what happened. You now have the reaction, which can be violent or aggressive. After this you have regret for what you did (if your regretful) or you have an elation of emotion from being happy by how you responded.

It all depends on how you want the song to flow and what you are writing about. We will chart out the above process and make these emotions come out through our instruments. So, you would have normalcy, suprise, violence or aggression, regret or elation, and however you want to end the song.

Lyrics are written for 2 purposes. We select the wording in ways to compliment the song with the harmonics of the words. THe 2nd edge of the lyrics is to give some clues as to what the song is about.

It's a long process but in the end I think people will really be able to connect with the music.

Do we get to hear crutch yet ken?

Here's some lyrics I've been working on last night.



Moonlight Shining Past The Pitch Black Diamond

Softly
Like a seeping stream
The moonlight
Dances by the
Opaque and black
Looking back to the ignorance
Missing out on
Such a gem

Calumny was predicted
They don’t see you as the true paragon
Acquaintances from past times
They misread the signs from the start.

My bet is no.

It means someone purposely hurting someone or somthing's reputation dishonestly. Look it up if you want a better explanation.

Okay, then.

Great lyrics anyways! :thumb:

:confused: explain thattt

[QUOTE=Mr Herb]:confused: explain thattt[/QUOTE]

Schism, another term that is used in religious terms, mostly catholic/protestant though.

Calumny is another example of a word that is used by the catholic faith. Dont ask em what the special significance is though

I see. Schism pertains ti the grt separation between the orthodox church and the chatolic church.

fun stuff

I actually wasn't thinking of that when I wrote it but that's pretty interesting.

Maybe your subconscious did?

Maybe....

Hi guys.

I tried doing an Astral Projection last night. Too bad I failed. I was listening to Lateralus, and right when the "Spiral Out...Keep....Going" started, I started getting that feeling of Sleep Paralysis. I had it in my hands and lower legs. I felt really light, and wasn't worrying about anything. I need to keep trying. Its a good sort of meditation, and maybe one day I'll be able to have some OBE.


Don't you find it weird that when you try to concentrate and 'project', you focus around your Third Eye?

I posted up some Crutch recordings a while ago, we have some new stuff recorded. Lemme get it mastered this evening and I'll post up some. BTW, the guy that sings in Crutch, whom everyone says sounds like Maynard, is starting to post some on the forum.
