dont think

[Oldrottenhead]

hi guys,
following my elaborate collaboration with hoop, i thought ok oldrottenhead lets get slapdash ,

its bin a while but why dont you try and make some music of your own again, cos you know of late ive bin jumping onto other peoples stuff and adding lyrics and vox.

the main reason being i have limited musical abilities, but i think i'm not bad at pulling lyrics out of the hat, re my singing when i keep it in pitch its nearly ok.

i'd also been reading posts about cheap bass guitars and boss effect pedals that can make your guitar sound like a bass, i put a reply there in that i record the bass part on guitar transfer it to cubase and use pitchshift to drop it an octave and voila u have a bass.

well my intention tonight was to do just that, i put the mbr on with a rnb drum loop and picked out a simple bass riff with the intention of cubase pitchshift etc u get the drift. but i never got round two that, then i played at the most, two chords, (well not even chords 1 string held dow and strumming then lifting finger off) add nauseum.
i thought sounds no bad, then added a vox,(excuse the dishwasher i think it can be heard at times.

so anyway this is a kwik sketch is very sparse, (inspired by steves bare naked brain damage)
it is a drumloop, when i get round to it i will build a new drum track to go with it, top string of guitar as bass, and 2 chords strummed, twice but at different pitches, then a vocal track. so there is tons of room for anyone wanting to put stuff on top of it. ok here is the first draft for lyric.and then the song.

jings i can go one eh?
lyrics:
Dont Think

i've done it all, i thought i knew the score
i thought i'd seen it all before
i should know better, well i do know now
you'll never know how things turn out

i dont think you'll ever know
coz you don't want to
i dont think you'll ever know
coz you don't have to
i dont think you'll ever know
coz you don't need to

you don't think
you don't think


i had to learn to eat that humble pie
or i could never look you in the eye
i should know better, well i do know now
you'll never know how things turn out

i dont think you'll ever know
coz you don't want to
i dont think you'll ever know
coz you don't have to
i dont think you'll ever know
coz you don't need to

you don't think
you don't think
you don't think
you don't think

Should be in bed for my second nightshift  but could not resist ... lol! All my gear is in the bedroom so out of bounds (She is asleep) so added a simple synth part using Cubase and Audition.

Kind regards,

It is shaping up innit, bass fits great and tho Ron's part sounded fine to me I am sure he can improve as he says. Can tart that synth part up if you want, knocked it up at 7.00am after a 12 hr night shift. Personally think it works as is tho.
