Description:
Some time ago I made a short track for a competition in which one had to express how garage band has changed ones life..
and this is what I came up with....
In the best of taste I only used Loops..

THis is great! &mdash 03/14/05 - 06:35:40 PM
Slimmie, I love this. Such a nice melody and mix along
with funny lyrics that I think most of us here can really
relate to. Thanks for that. Ahhh, good stuff.

Cute tune. I like the ending too.

Nice synth stuff. Love the words. I have the same problem
with the dogs barking while I am recording.

Thanks for sharing.

How Good! &mdash 03/14/05 - 06:48:34 PM

This is just such a cool song. Mainstream radio ready.
This deserves a better category IMO. Not the
ambient fare you normally serve up (which I like), yet
one of your best tunes. OK, I am listening on computer
speakers at work, but I think they're good enough to
communicate the song.

Ode-Dear! &mdash 03/14/05 - 06:52:42 PM

Can we all relate to this?!!
Ha ha ha!

Very funny, Slimmie :)
And nice use of those loops, too!
Thanks for posting this here :)
And do I need to say it...?

MORE! :)

Holy Shit &mdash 03/14/05 - 07:36:44 PM
This song is outstanding. You really need to start a record deal or something. All of you songs are outstanding.

Really, You could be huge.

What a fitting tribute to GarageBand. It has been life
changing for me, too. The obsession, the empowerment,
the hope. Your dreamscape is wonderful.

Catchy, funny, true &mdash 03/14/05 - 08:37:36 PM
Made me laugh, but I agree with Jack, this should be in a
better category--pop?

Very nice work.

Cute tune Slimmie....

Love your voice (as usual)

GREAT lyrics!! Cool BEats!

Cheers to GarageBand and Slim Girl FaT!

Now where is Ode to MacJams???

(I can't sleep at night either, hahahahaha, Bloody hell!!)

Very, very well done, SGF. Lovely voice, melody,
production and funny, but true, sentiments.

Sleep? &mdash 03/15/05 - 09:41:39 AM
What is that?

I think you nailed the GB addiction pretty well.

(standing)
Hi, my name is Kevin and I'm addicted to GarageBand. I've disconnected my phone, gave away my dog, the cat is... OH SHIT I HAVE A CAT! Sorry, got to go, gotta feed the cat!


HAHAHAHAHAHA! : )


Thanks for giving words to an illness we all can relate to.

Sleep is for dweebs &mdash 03/15/05 - 09:48:03 AM
Mirroring others sentiments here, this is a very enjoyable
track! It has your soft voice, funny lyrics, nicely-softened
dance background melody, and just the right amount of
comedic silliness. Very professionally put together,
m'lady! DLed and added to my SGF hoard!
ttfn,
Drakonis

Great song! &mdash 03/15/05 - 12:24:35 PM
Humorous, but also a little sad. I think it's the way
you sing "I can't sleep at night". It reminds me of
times when I am up late working at the computer
and everyone else is asleep... kinda lonely... Anyway,
this is another memorable tune from a memorable
singer! You were one of the first artsists here to
catch my attention last year when I started here...
Keep on going, SlimGirl... some sleep would be nice,
though.

Crack Me Up &mdash 03/15/05 - 07:07:56 PM
Great lyrics....I was listening, thinking..oh what a lovely
tune...then the lyrics came and slayed me! It is a lovely
tune as always Slimmy but I think you need to take a walk
now.....Gee Bee's in the brain.

greatest pop tune the world will never hear &mdash 03/15/05 - 07:26:06 PM
This is the most instantly likeable tune I've heard at
MacJams. My 12-year-old daughter (GB user) and her
friends are already running around singing your song.
They love how you pronounce 'garage'

It gets funnier every time I listen. Production, vocals and lyrics are great. Such a light hearted, fun song. Thank you for sharing.

GarageBand Poster-Girl! &mdash 03/20/05 - 06:09:38 PM
This is a wonderfully whimsical song, Slimmie! What a
great testimony to those ol' GB loops....but your vocals
really MAKE this tune.

Enjoyed it from start to finish!

[ Reply to This ]
hahaha &mdash 04/08/05 - 03:51:40 PM
Good One!! Greatly crafted lyrics, and the background
while repetitive and "loopy" is well enough suited for the
track.

My only criticism is that the word "sleep" sounds on my
end like "seep". Perhaps this is just a cultural difference
though, and the way that you pronounce the word is
different from the way that I would say it, hence the way I
percieve it.

All in all this finatic that you talk about certainly won't lose
in the end. Not after so much hard work. Actually, a lot
of real life artists have suffered from such insomnia that
you talk about. Take for example Michelangelo. He is
said to have slept on average about four hour per night!!!
Can you imagine if he had gotten a hold of Garage Band.

Anyway, thanks for sharing!

Suddenly... &mdash 08/07/05 - 04:04:24 PM
...I'm worried.

Didn't I used to have a family, and a job?

A life?

Well, no, I didn't have a LIFE, exactly. But, a family? A job?

I'm actually glad I didn't discover this one until I could
more completely get the joke...

my wedding song &mdash 09/07/05 - 02:32:19 PM
it made me weep - openly, on my balcony. Kids were
looking up at me laughing. But they don't understand.
Nobody understands except you. You understand me. I
love you GarageBand Song.

Cute &mdash 01/14/06 - 09:49:58 PM
You've got a great sense of humor. Cool groove, just a little too
compressed for me. This song will probably describe me this year.
However, tonight I have to finish up a Flash project. I'll be checing
out more of your work.

Nice &mdash 01/16/06 - 07:00:31 PM
Very nice, particularly the lyrics. I wonder if that's what will happen to me once I finally fully get going with GarageBand myself...

how true. Glad to know I'm not alone.

Great Great Job!
