Description:
Being grounded in a fucking cold country for more than four months now, I must admit, that leaves a lot of room for frustration building up. Always an excelent inspiration to write a song... To rule out any misconceptions, this one is not about a particular woman. You need familiarity with certain moods to come up with these lyrics; but ladies, I can assure you it wasn't you.
Let me know what you think. By the way, I didn't vaccuum while I was singing, it's a broken audio-in line, so I only get 10% of a signal, flattened by a huge white noise. Tried to filter it out, halfway successful. My friend Rob thinks it's just right, kinda low-fi.
Lyrics:
FATE
by core
I'm not easy in the morning
You could say kind of a grumpy fuck
Never mind if I'm not horny
Before caffeine hits my blood
But then I see you laying there
Covered by the clothes we lost last night
And I recall the fun we shared
What was the reason for that fight?
*
I can tell where it is going
We both know how this is wrong
Never mind, just listen to this song
You just got me, now I'm gone
Besides, who cares if this is wrong
In the end we never go along
*
When you dance you forget to walk
You know, that really is okay
That's why we fucked and didn't talk
Let's not forget in the end I'll pay
You turn your back and I don't like it
When you talk you slap my face
I don't swallow that, I'll bite it
Mind me staying 'til I found a place?
*
I can tell where it is going
We both know how this is wrong
Never mind, just listen to this song
You just got me, now I'm gone
Besides, who cares if this is wrong
In the end we never go along
*
Come on, you saw it coming
We tried hard but couldn't stop
It was more than just a fling
I'm not an idiot, but you rock
That note you wrote, I just read it
We both know this is plain bullshit
You don't think when ya feel the heat
You don't panic, you don't quit
*
I can tell where it is going
We both know how this is wrong
Never mind, just listen to this song
You just got me, now I'm gone
Besides, who cares if this is wrong
In the end we never go along
*
That sleazy bar across the street
You called for the check and made me pay
I was totally lost, incapable to think
Damn the day you crossed my way
Love happens, not like we have a choice
Love aint love without a tear
I read your note and hear your voice
F or a moment your breath is in my ear
*
I can tell where it is going
We both know how this is wrong
Never mind, just listen to this song
You just got me, now I'm gone
Besides, who cares if this is wrong
In the end we never go along
....

By the way &mdash 08/21/05 - 09:19:57 PM
I know I can't sing really well. So I'm asking anyone out here
who's got the voice for this song, if you want to give it a try,
send me a note and I'll send you a link to download the song
sans vocals. I'm looking to publish this one and it would be
on my next CD. Your contribution would of course be
credited. [ Reply to This ]
great lyrical work &mdash 08/21/05 - 11:44:00 PM
truly talented you are. great work mixing in the levels of
your vocals I know that that is not an easy task [ Reply to This ]
great lyrical work &mdash 08/22/05 - 06:20:59 AM
Well, it's a start. But thank you. It's uplifting to read an encouraging comment
like yours. [ Reply to This ]
If it ain't fixed don't break it &mdash 08/22/05 - 02:02:27 AM
The vocals add a huge amount of personality to this. It
reminds slighty of John Cale, especially the guitar. This is
a great track, thanks for rockin it. There is nothing wrong
with your vocals here. [ Reply to This ]
If it ain't fixed don't break it &mdash 08/22/05 - 06:29:53 AM
Considering this is my first real song in years, after spending a lot of time doing
electronica, I take this as a compliment. Glad you like it the way it is. Perhaps
I've become too much of a perfectionist lately... But I just can't get rid of the
feeling I know how this should sound. -- But thanks for your encouraging
words! :) [ Reply to This ]
Maybe a woman's vioce would help? &mdash 08/22/05 - 03:08:07 AM
I could do without the effects. The vocals are really dirty
and the music is too clean. I don't know if your looping it,
but if you are, don't. Live is better. it's too digital go
analog. Think dirty lol

Live and dirty would sure be better! I'd love to... This was the best I could come
up with between kitchen and living room on a 12" Powerbook and a $10
microphone.
What you call effects is actually not many effects. The vocal track has a thick
layer of white noise over it, I just tried to filter this out using the gate filter and
some equalizing.
Thanks for your comments... It's encouraging to hear good feedback.
And my offer stands: if anyone wants to sing this, I'm down for it. [ Reply to This ]
Like nothing &mdash 08/24/05 - 12:20:05 PM
I've heard before. Big creativity ratings, buddy. Production is
fantastic, like all of your stuff. Personally, I really dig the
vocals, but more fascinated by the lyrics themselves. That
hollow drum sequence is really unexpected when I heard it
the first go-round. Not much else to say except I like it! [ Reply to This ]
SLabble gibble dropper! &mdash 08/24/05 - 12:30:40 PM
I like &mdash 08/24/05 - 03:15:06 PM
awesome sound. &mdash 08/25/05 - 11:47:56 PM
don't let anyone else touch the vocals. please
funny, but my favorite part of this is the strummy bass-
totally makes the song. great stuff

Thanks to everyone voting and commenting &mdash 08/26/05 - 05:07:21 AM
Guys, I'm truly touched by what you wrote. I mean, I just started song writing
with lyrics. Now I have to figure out a way that doesn't let every song sound the
same, with the same vocal effects, because I still have this broken audio-in port.
My Powerbook makes a lot of fan noise too.
You convinced me to let the vocals be the way they are now. I guess it's that
imperfection is what makes it. [ Reply to This ]
