RECords, RECommended
by OneLuckyCharmz
Released 2011-03-23 05:11:18 +0100

I mentioned before on my tumblr that my playlist was filled with Metaphorest and wirrow creations. Well, it grew in the past day, I guess, and here's what I have now. Not much, but yeah.


Each and every one of these creations have pulled many a different emotions from me. They've calmed me down, excite me, and just made me feel. During a stressful time when I'm running around with my head cut-off and wishing I was closer to the people that need me, this is definitely helping me cope and grow and stay calm. 


Enjoy!

Metaphorest beautiful poem put to music. The guitar, vocals, cello and shaker were done by myself and the other shaker and the drum was done by my brother Dougie Mackie aka Fameless. Producer: Dougie Mackie Recorded through a radio Mic I couldnt find a shaker around the house so I made one out of a medicine bottle, cocoa pops and sugar. The drum was a big cardboard tub with a plastic lid. haha. Seems really odd. If anyone wants to put a harmony on top you are more than welcome!

OK... WOW, I can't believe I'm about to do this. SO, I couldn't sleep last night, so I found this and was enchanted. I'm not sure what you call what I did. Let's be clear I do not and never have before other than the car... sing, or even played with music like this. So I guess this is just a temp and if I flush out the idea clearly then we find someone in HitRecord That would be a good match for Meta, vocaly. I kinda looked at it like a spokenish wordish thing, because Lawrie is just a ridiculous linguist. So just to be clear of my with myself deprecation and insecurity I had no clue how to harmonize so I didn't even try. I think i thought of it as a dark Row row row your boat( I know mad simple but thats me) there's something magical about the simplicity so this isn't it but there might be a way to keep it raw and simple and play with it. PLEASE any help is welcomed. God I can't believe I'm do this.
Thanks

Nothing big
Nothing grand
Nothing useful
Nothing planned
Nothing smart, or at least not very
Nothing revolutionary
Nothing urgent
Nothing hot
Maybe quiet
Maybe not
Nothing hard
Nothing wet
Nothing naked, well not yet
Nothing witty
Nothing wise
No big deal
No first prize
Nothing solemn
Nothing set
Nothing much to give or get
Nothing now but me and you
Nothing more, thanks, that'll do
Nothing Big

Had this tune in my head for ages and Joe's words fit perfectly. Et voila! Kept it simple so do add whistles and bells and voices as well!


And happy pre-birthday Joe! <3

I liked this song quite a bit so I added a couple of instruments, some hand claps, and a bit of vocal harmonies as well. Yay!

When I’m caught out in the rainstorm
When I’m weary and alone
Wrap me tightly, keep my bones warm
Give me shelter, take me home


When I’m drowning in the dark days
When I’m flooded with regret
And the sorrow sends me sideways
Give me shelter from the wet


When I’m sinking into puddles
Soaking nearly to the skin
Wallowing in all my muddles
Whisper to me, take me in


Neath the trees and under awnings
In the archways and the caves
Clouds reveal a new sun dawning
And a light that softly saves


Every puddle is a mirror
Every raindrop is a test
Each downpour can draw you nearer
Or still further from your best


When I’m caught out in a rainstorm
When I’m weary and alone
Wrap me tightly, keep my bones warm
Give me shelter, take me home

So this is something Pasiv and I have been working on - I sent him a vocal track that needed some magic, he provided said magic times a million and here is the result!


(Will upload separate vocals too)


I've got a letter in my head for you I'm sick and tired of playing dead for you I've gotta come back, I've gotta come back to life Turn the clocks back, turn the clocks back, I'm alright My lips are frozen and my hands are numb The cracks are showing but I'm playing dumb I've got jump off, I've gotta let go this lie Let the truth out, let the truth out or let it die

Love song type thingy I made today! If anybody wants separate tracks just yell - and if you wanna sing/play along here's how:

Capo on the first fret for a start. Oh and hehe I didn't know what one of the chords was called so I named it Aup7 - basically like playing A but on the seventh fret - my amateurism is showing :)

D G D
You are the velcro that keeps my shoes on
A D G A
You are the rightness when everything’s wrong
D G Bm G
You’re the cream in my coffee, the milk in my tea
Aup7 B D
You’re everything, baby, to me.

D G D
You’re the umbrella in my daiquiri
A D G A
The wind in my willows, the buzz in my bee
D G Bm G
You’re the sun in my Sunday, the string in my bow
Aup7 B D
You’re everything, baby, you know

G A D G
And when the birds run out of songs
G A D G
I’ll take their place, you hum along
G A D G
If all else fails, we’ll raise our sails
Aup7 B D
And float away wagging our tails

D G D
You are the cherry on my bakewell tart
A D G A
You’re the lagging jacket around my cold heart
D G Bm G
The apple in my eye, the peach for my James
Aup7 B D
You’re everything, babe, all the same.
Everything, baby.

My attempt at a Christmas Song for filmpunk's collab. I'll upload the wavs too if anybody wants em!

As we sidestep through November
We set sights fast on December
And that day we all remember
To the fire’s dying ember

December, December
You chill us to our bones
December, December
A time for going home

In the air my breath turns white
As day so quickly turns to night
This early turn suits me alright
Instead of the sun the stars burn bright

The Christmas chill nostalgia bringing
Familiar songs old favourites singing
In every quarter bells are ringing
To each other we are clinging

December, December
You chill us to our bones
December, December
A time for going home

All together for a day
We do things the old-fashioned way
We celebrate against the grey
Of leafless trees that icy sway

December, December
You chill us to our bones
December, December
A time for going home
December, December

A cheesy but hearfelt little tune about this magical place and why it is I stick around...

Oh and please add bits/yourself to it! Clap your hands, shake your keys, sing along - whatever you feel like!

Lyrics!

I hit record
cos I'm bored
or if I wanna be
more than a piece of dust
before I start to rust
I'm gonna hit record

Again by heart
from the start
I could see
that you were all like me
And you wanted to be free
to share the things that made you happy

There's a kind of synergy
when a brain
and another brain collide
I'm not just me
I'm a cog in the wheel
of a giant family

I wanna make my mark
make a spark
that makes you wanna
make magic, make art
I wanna hit your heart
like cupid with a dart

I hit record
cos I'm bored
or if I wanna be
more than a piece of dust
before I start to rust
I'm gonna hit record (x3)

<3

A fluffy pop song that came out of me the other day...will post lyrics and chords if anybody wants em!! Mostly it's E and A - the easy peasiest chords of all!

Lyrics!

What is your game plan?
Whatcha wanna be when you grow up?
Cos you know nothing stays the same and
Nothing ever changes enough

You better make your mind up
Shape your own luck

How long can you stand, scarestruck
In the hallway of your house
“Quite a while, mate,” you say, choked up
But you gotta step out

Make one false move at least you’ll be moving
Got nothing to prove and plenty worth losing x2

Take shelter in your freedom
Instead of taking comfort in your shell
There are beautiful rewards for courage
Life will show you, time will tell
Make Your Mind Up
