First Song up, with caveats
(Monday, 04 February 2008) Written by Helen Sventitsky

3-2-1-GO!

It took me a couple of days but I've finally put my first song together I had the lyrics lying around, so I tweaked them a bit then put some music to them. It took me about 4 hours to complete backing tracks on the PDA on Saturday, and today, it was two hours on guitar parts and vocals.

So, for those of you who care, here's the finished product, Because this is a family-friendly place, we'll just call it "It's You And Me", and leave it at that.

And here are the lyrics. I was in an Albert Camus mood when I put this together. I could be vague and say it's about alienation, but I'll leave that all up to you. Hope it doesn't bring you down too much.

Also, beforewarned before clicking on the lyrics link: I tend to cuss in my lyrics, and I don't censor myself for anyone.  If you don't think you can handle it, don't click on it.

When I'm done putting together all of the tunes, I may do another mix of this thing on the PC, and resing some parts (I get a little marble mouthed here and there on this track), as opposed to a strict mastering. The H4 is a good digital 4 tracker, but it's not best at mixing.

Anyway, comments are always welcome. :)

Hey Helen, I didn't notice until just now that you had also taken the RPM vows! And you're a first-timer like me as well. Cool! I like this song a lot, it sticks. And the lyrics are really great, wish I could write like that. Gotta start reading Camus, I guess... 
 
Well, good luck with the rest of it too, guess I'll see you around.

Hey Jan! 
 
Good to see you again. I still play my Tumbleweed Trail CD on occasion.  
 
Thanks for the feedback and best of luck! :)
