Resurrecting The Dead (Tune)
Umph!<br />Bah Humbug!<br />etc...<br /><br />You know when you've become obsessed with something when you're awake at 3.20am staring at your software and the lifeless notations within, pondering whether to give that corrupted tune one more shot or just hit delete.<br />The problem is folks, a song is like a pet dog: It's with you for a long time and even when it's ill, all life being sucked out through it's eye sockets, you just can't bare to let go of the poor creature. So we have to find a miracle cure; that one magic medicine to cease the rampaging disease that ravages the nerve endings of that beloved creature you have nurtured since birth.<br /><br />So here is that one track, sat here in FL Studio, looking at me as if to say <strong>well, Jackass, if you had thought it out a bit more I wouldn't be in this goddamn mess</strong>, and you know, it has a point. I was reaching deep, attempting to extract a simple notion, that of betrayal and the madness that ensues, and came up with something resembling a broken toaster.<br /><br />It's now 3.26 am and still it's not right.<br />One improvement was to turn the overall bass and drum lines into a muddy bath to simulate the feeling of depression, add some reverb to create a rumble over several synths to bring forth the nerves about to rip into pieces. A dark track indeed, a very dark, non melodic painful expression of something very close to home.<br /><br />And this is where the problem may lay. When I wrote lyrics I wrote from experience and found some words harder to come by because my innerself would not open up to that time and place. Maybe this too applies to this stubborn monkey that looks up at me now like a demented goldfish.<br /><br />Now 3.30am I'm going to end this ramble and proceed to some sort of sleep and hopefully in the morning the world will seem a much happier place. <br /><br />........<br />.........<br /><br />Oh to hell with it..back to work<img src="images/smilies/face-devil-grin.png" border="0" alt="devil" title="devil" />
