<description>I've been in love with music since I was 2 years old; it's my life! The first instrument I learned to play was piano and I learned how to play when I was 9. I took lessons for a summer, but didn't like practicing, so I quit. Therefor I never really learned how to read music. I play piano still (but only by ear), drums, a bit of guitar and violin and have tried some bass. I love to sing and some major influences of mine are Frou Frou from Imogen Heap, Amy Lee, the Eisley girls, Gwen Stefani (dont hate! she's very creative!) and Azure Ray. I'm hoping to get some music upon the site soon so you guys can see if I really can sing! ^_^</description>

<title>Weight Of Wrong</title>
<link>http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/1852.html</link>
<description>OK, This is the last one I'll put up for a while. I fear I'm pissing people off :P I'm gunna concentrate on commenting on more people's work. I've just been so busy.

VERSE 1

Oh shit,
Guess I got the wrong end of the stick,
I guess you thought your magic tricks would,
Fool me more than this.

But I thought you'd know,
I'm just too old for magic shows

CHORUS

Well I guess I'm gunna go,
I hope you hold onto your pride,
'Cause it won't be long,
'Till the weight of your wrong,
Leaves it the only thing in your life.

Well I know it hurts now baby,
But you just gotta let it slide.

VERSE 2

Oh fuck,
Seems you'ce really screwed things up,
Or didn't I squint hard enough,
To keep you in my view?

And you,
Flew.

Nevermind.

CHORUS

Well I guess I'm gunna go,
I hope you hold onto your pride,
'Cause it won't be long,
'Till the weight of your wrong,
Leaves it the only thing in your life.

Well I know it hurts now baby,
But you just gotta let it slide.</description>

<title>One Serious Song</title>
<link>http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/1196.html</link>
<description>Created some time ago for the Stormrider project. I've tried to put in some '70 police-series feel into it, since the subject of the lyrics could have been derived from a '70-s police series episode plot. The vocals were deliberately mixed to background with a lot of reverb added to them because this is designed to be played REAL LOUD! (so you can actually hear what's being said, and be blasted away by the instrumental bits in the process!)</description>

<description>I've not been making music for very long, only like a few weeks or something, and my equiptment is absolute crap. I've recorded 4 songs, this is my most recent one. Umm...I don't really know what to say really, the song kinda says it all (if you can actually get what the lyrics are...stupid damn microphone)
Please don't critasise to harshly, I am very ammateur! (is that even how you spell that word...?)</description>

<description>Thanks for everyone's kind words on Seven a while back :) This is the revised version, which, as many people will agree, sound a million times better. Complete with E-Bow near the end :D Sorry about the gap at the start, I could be bothered deleting it.

ENJOY!

<description>Hey guys, we just recorded this in my apartment.  It's a song off our recent album.  We're called MARULA.  Check out our site at marula.ca  Enjoy!  

sex

Btw, the vocals start in the middle of the song and I hate mp3 sound, so if any of you know how to make the best of it,  tips would be appreciated, thanx.  Usually I export in wav format.

<title>Box Of Voices</title>
<link>http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/1447.html</link>
<description>Haven't posted anything for aaages. Thought I'd throw this out here. didn't play it all that well however, was a little hungover ;)

VERSE:


Somewhere, deep beneath the ocean,

Lies this box of voices hiding,

Masked in, dust like sand storms underwater.


CHORUS:


It’s the words I cannot say,
When I need them most of all.

It’s the ones that cut so deep,
Are pressing on my walls.

Release this anchor, thank you,
For all you haven’t done.

I’ll be waiting when they come.


VERSE:


Tie me down a rock is nearby,

Vocal flood walls leave me dripping words out,

Of my mouth when I have so much built up.

<title>All That I Can Be</title>
<link>http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/2199.html</link>
<description>Well Here it is. The first track off my piano EP. (well actually the second, this is just the first I've uploaded)

The vocals were double tracked and recorded in my friend's flat using some pretty basic gear. The piano was recorded in a 300 year old chapel on a grand piano. Which had an extremely loud pedal but it's not too noticable thankfully.

My good friend Bella put double bass in a few of the tracks which sounds beautiful.

VERSE 1

I know all the things that people say I hear them everyday.
And I know all the things you like and dislike in me.
But I’m not ready for this kind of conversation where you break down,
What I am and what i wish that I could be.

I’m this passive little angel underneath it all,
But come across as something harder to digest, I guess.
When i’m older and i’m wiser I will know my weaker side,
But for now I’m young and bold enough with nothing here to hide.

CHORUS:

And I,
Had always been the same one there.
And I,
Am not the one who’s changed round here 

X2

Didn’t you notice that?

VERSE 2

I’m aware of all remarks in absence of my presence,
I’m well informed of what i should and shouldn’t say.
And I have trouble with my foot and what I put it in,
I am walking I am moving but I only seem to stay.

I am sure I’ll never change i’ll probably always stay the same,
There’s nothing left I haven’t lost before that I can’t lose again.
So i’ll continue on my way before I go I’d like to say,
I’m only one man. With two hands. I’m all that I can be.

CHORUS:

OUTRO:

I’m only one man with two hands I’m all that I can be.
(Two hands I am all I can be)

I’m only one man with two hands I’m all that I can be.
(Two hands I am all I can be)

I’m only one man with two hands I’m all that I can be.
(Two hands I am all I can be)

<description>- OTHER TRACKS AVAILABLE AT http://music.mp3lizard.com/cron/ -

first draft of an untitled track in the key of E.

written after I quit my boring job, haven't put drums in yet, because I dislike my drum machine, trying to add some more guitar too.

enjoy

E Song

i'm going far, today, I don't notice anyway
i'm in the stars, lookin' grey
i drop down from mars, to say
i don't want this anyway
i have to sing, on my own

and then i pick up my guitar, and then i sing
and i serenade myself
each single note i play, will knock me off my feet, 
so i fall and sing along.

i don't want to be, here no more,i say
i'd rather sit around all day
there's nothing that you could say to make me go,
i'd rather sit here, and take it slow

i'll spin around for days,i know i know nothing anymore
i'm in the stars, and so bored
i resigned today, oh lord, i'm not involved no more no way
i have to sing on my own.</description>

<description>Good 'ole dub reggae vibes here

Spent a lot of time working with a great friend in a reggae band over the last few years. This track was recorded when we first started working together.its about being willing to do anything for the one u love.

J had the chords and that hypnotic style chorus(Thanks to peter,paul &amp; mary!), i fleshed it out over a few weeks and put guitar riffs to it,lyrics and arrangement. A song that Mick the engineer pulled off dramatically considering the poor quality equipment we had! Top marks buddy! So this is it, three guys and waaaaay too much motivation! Hope u enjoy.</description>

<description>Heheheh, went searching through my old music files today and tripped over this.  It's a really rough, jam/compilation of first takes that adam (&quot;marula&quot;) and I laid down into some sort of cohesive mess about 4 years ago in honour of his mom's birthday...

Just something fun for you to check out, not trying to win anything with this, that's for sure.  If you wanna hear our &quot;real&quot; music, go here:  http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/2028.html

<title>Vertigo</title>
<link>http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/1462.html</link>
<description>This song was written in three stages of my life (sad ones), so the song is actually a vomit of my soul :p
i fucked up a couple of times while recording, but i never fixed theses problems..... otherwise it should be fine..



UPDATE: thanx for all the comments... They really are constructive and informative :)
For all of you who want to hear more..... well.... u'll have to wait a bit
My father passed away a few days ago (4th of January)... so I'll be traveling to Chile (after 3 years in Norway) carrying his ashes... anyway, i think this trip and this experience might help me to get inspired and trigger some kind of musical reaction from my fingers.

<title>Benchmark</title>
<link>http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/1242.html</link>
<description>This song means a lot to me, it's the touchstone for so many times in my life, but I never recorded a decent version of it.  This is an attempt to rectify this.  It's just a simple 4 chord trick, all about trying to find whatever it is that everyone of us is driven to try and find in their lives.  I need to get a proper mic and record proper vocals for this, other than that I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out.  I swear by GarageBand now, especialy after losing my Logic key....*weeps*.


Have at, good people :)

*edit*  This is the fifth attempt to post this song, the player keeps playing it back either at doublespeed or halftime.  It's in G, it's 120 bpm and plays fine here on my machine in all players and editors.  Seriously frustrating.  Any ideas??  Anything similar happen to anybody else?  How does one prevent it from reoccurring..

<description>Tell me what you think about this one. I poured my heart and soul into this song and I still don't know what it's totally about. Perhaps love and hate in the same realm.  If you can't relate to the feeling of this one while stoned......you probably won't like any music that I put on here.  Listen and learn...not from the chords or the tempo but the overall feeling I put into this one through ESP. If not please just tell me what's wrong and what's right.  If you don't leave a response you mind as well not even have ever listened to it in the first place. If music never makes you try to feel what I felt when I recorded this..............you probably never will feel what depression can taste like..........</description>

Some of the parts of the song are randomised in one way or another, mainly the drums. I was experimenting a bit. It's quite ambient...</description>

<description>It's still in the early phases at the moment, it's kind or the beginning. I thought I'd try my hand at drum and bass, and this was the result. Not bad for a first attempt. If the bass is a bit overpowering, it's cuz I'm having to mix my stuff on crappy old pc speakers with no bass response, so if ya don't like it, buy me some monitors! </description>
