Description:
You know the way Sunday evening tv makes you feel? It's good programming, but it signifies the impending Monday.
This is sort of like that.

You all know by now that I can't really sing. Sometimes I like to pretend, but it's no use. So that having been said, I'm not going to apologize for the useless vocal tracks I've attempted to use here.
-Rain


Actually, after listening a few more times I know I could do better. Just getting the harmonies in sync a little better and stuff.
more than anything it's that stupid note..."to be the TRUUUUTH...." ughhh. I can never get myself to let go and hit it with the right part of the throat. It's supposed to be nice and smooth, from the top of the throat. That area always adds a few decibles though, so I fake it and go a little further down where it's rattly and tense.
Sounds like poopy! So I'll redo it and post it again next week or something.
Peace,
-Rain

Lyrics:
So strange is this moment at which you chose to enter the room. It used to be we were all famous. Everyone the same face; everywhere the same place. It used to be that I could just slip away without the danger of slow decay.
Oh, how you would love to have been there.
It would be so easy to claim victim of circumstance. To point a finger and stake my claim as to who gets blamed. Easier still is the urge to hide in shame.
It has occured to me that I hardly know you. Hell, I've only just become aqcuainted with myself, though you've known who I am for a long time.
Maybe I'll paint a picture. Maybe I'll hold my breath.
It would be so easy to drift away from you; to lay back and be glad that I'm not with you. But I've lied to myself so much as it is. So I'll just wait for you to be the truth.
We shared so many ideals, which made it all seem worth while. And I'm sure you'll be worth the wait in gold. Thank god I've never been too concerned with going out of style.
You bring me comfort by the cup.

Wow, just wow &mdash 07/19/07 - 03:36:41 PM
A most original and emotionfilled song.

Leaves me with a definite feeling that it means something, don't know what, just that it means something. Something I may discover later in life. So I've downloaded so it won't escape me.

sometimes &mdash 07/19/07 - 05:25:48 PM
i don't know exactly what the songs mean either. I think music already exists, in some form of energy, and just lies in wait, until we the musicians hear its beckoning call, and become its physical vessle for a period of time.

Also, thank you for taking the time to check this (and some others) out. I appreciate it very much.

Rich voice &mdash 07/19/07 - 07:53:57 PM
Nothing worse than trying to objectively critique your own tracks; it's impossible to know how it all sounds to somebody else.

Well, it sounds fucking great.

Raw, loose, not overdone, very much 'something else' (very rare, by the way). And I'm totally impressed by the stylistic spread in your songs.

yes, this is &mdash 07/19/07 - 08:15:31 PM
very true. I often say that by the time you've finished writing, recording and mixing something and you take the headphones off you have absolutely no idea what it sounds like.
Different things will jump out at you for weeks, and you really begin to question your own ability to call yourself a musician.

On the other hand, your compliments don't override the fact that this sounds like absolute shite to me. LOL!
Thanks though, I take it all in. Especially from people in your league of artistic genius. That's when I pay attention. sort of.
You also have to take into account the fact that I'm unstable at best.

Anther great &mdash 07/26/07 - 07:42:26 AM
song Rain. I agree with Cori that this has to be listened to again and again. Your voice sounds great to me - I have mentioned on other songs that it reminds me of Peter Gabriel and I think that most people would say he can sing - and so can you!
Love it, thanks, downloaded.
Cheers
Len
