World of your own

By drmindflip on April 2, 2014 12:00 am

Hello everyone! I hope it's been a great week. This one was rather a blur for me and I didn't get a chance to listen to much music on WB, but I've set aside an evening to catch up with a couple of beers and all of your tracks smile


I'm thrilled to say that I'll be releasing a new EP online this Friday! The tracks will be familiar to anyone who has been listening here - I've re-recorded some nice vocals and slightly changed some bits too, so there will be something new for you guys. I'm off to prepare the artwork and liner notes - very excited indeed! A sincere thanks to everyone here for your support and inspiration throughout the past few months, the release wouldn't be happening without you big_smile


In the meantime, anyone in the mood for some vitriolic piano-thumping? I sure hope so wink


World of your own:


Never did no wrong
Never did enough
Ever make a song and dance
For fancy folk you thought were above you?
Throw your hat at it
Out hops a rabbit
He points a paw and laughs at your ceaseless pursuit of love
But oh those simple melodies
They put your mind at ease
Here in this world of your own
A world of your own creation


Give it all you got
Think you’re fine, but you’re not
Ambitions rot because you left them far too long on the shelf
Deep down you insist
That you’re an idealist
Do you remember optimistic you, how good she felt? No?
Do you recall your altruistic view, your heart of wealth? No?
Then the simple energies
Are all that you need
Here in this world of your own


If you’re distracted by the bitterness you face
Kicking back against the rats within your race
If the world makes you struggle getting out of bed
Girl there’s no trouble, make another one to live within instead
And get out of your head!


Now you gaze into the trees
And graze on twitching leaves
Here in this world of your own
All of your own


   
Thanks for listening! Have a free album (or two) and find me on Facebook

Ohhhh... the tastiness of that bassline is overwhelming - but wait, what's that chorus doing to my mind? Blowing it away! Serious tune dude, hope it's on the EP

Waiting eagerly for that EP, mate. I love every one of your "vitriolic" tunes smile

Thanks a million mate! Really glad you're enjoying em smile

"A world of your ooooooooown... CREATION!" Ha, love that bit. Great stuff.

Outstanding work.  This is another one that's reminiscent of Beautiful South for some reason.

If I were wearing a hat, I would tip it to your musical genius.

Really liking the faster tempo in this one, that's another style you can tick off your list! smile

As usual great harmonies going on with your vocals and that lil piano break towards the middle had some awesome chord progression, i had to rewind back to it to hear it again.  Really liked that chord progression and how the right hand has that doo wop rhythm.  I wish I could play like that smile  Bravo!!

Heheh thanks Laohu! This one was determined to do its own thing when it came to vocals, that's for sure big_smile

Much appreciated Edmund - I must have a listen to beautiful south, I only know The Table and Perfect 10 I think!

It's been remarked upon that I need to keep rotating hats in my YouTube videos, so I'll toss a spare one your day for tipping and such! Thanks. smile

Thanks ekayi! I don't even really notice myself playing in different styles - that's not a veiled self-compliment, I actually haven't a clue what's going to come out most times! If I'm doing things right, that is wink

Thanks once more for your motivating and considerate feedback ToneMatrix - believe it or not, I wrestled with whether or not to cut out that very section you liked! As for doo-woppin'...great way of putting it! I love vintage poppy stuff, maybe I should try my hand at some of that...

Keep pushing the expression in your music, its amazing!

Cheers RawTicks! I'll do my very best smile

Great stuff as usual. You are totally insane but it makes for good music so I guess it's a good thing. big_smile It's kind of amazing how many styles you go through considering how the music is just voice and piano. I really enjoy that progression right after "world of your creation" (the lyric).

There is nothing in your comment that I don't take very graciously as a compliment! We gotta let the insanity out somewhere, piano is a good tool for me lately! big_smile   Thanks a million johnfn, glad you're enjoying the tracks
