With Sat and Manwithhat's beautiful video of the poem "The City of Masks", I have written a small piece of music for it. I hope it does their work justice, and hopefully adds a little more to their beautiful verbal portrait.

[// Aww, Sat. Remember the good ol' days? Yeah. Those were great. I loved this RECord from Sat/ManWithHat, and it was the first time I ever collaborated on hitRECord. What a great day that was. //]

This is my third iteration/attempt at mastering a mix of this great song by noiseball, Metaphorest, and Joe. This time I added some tonal guitar along with a completely new bass line (at least new in that I rerecorded the whole thing). Again, I'm working towards something...I can feel it!

I hate to take up more bandwidth with something that has already been posted on so often, but thanks to a little tinkering (and some advice from my oh-so-intelligent wife) I have fixed the "sundance"-cut-in-half issue. So here it is. Again, thank you all so much. :)

Wow...just a little embarrassing...I must have had the sound screwed up on my system while editing...I did not realize how high up in the mix my bass was...here's the newer version with the bass straightened out a bit. Sorry about that. :) [This time, I edited the bass a little more and added in Joe's drums. Hopefully a jumping off point for greater things! It's a little rough, but it's a start. (I tried to add Philip Raath's mixing of Joe's drums into Resources, but it wouldn't show up...regardless, without it, this remixed remix wouldn't exist, so thanks, man!)]

This is my first iteration in my attempt to add more to this awesome song. I haven't done much more than add a grungy bass line to it; I plan to add more once I have more time. For now, here's what I've got thus far, with all the glorious mistakes that can be made at 3:45 in the morning.

[// Who isn't a fan of Tori and her amazing RECords? I could go on and on about her wonderful style and massive imagination, but I don't know if she could take it, really.

I am proud of this song. There isn't much to it, and the video quality is horrible because I (as stated earlier) cannot edit video at all. But I wanted to capture the soft loneliness to what I felt was some grayed-out melancholy. Not too bad, I suppose. Go check out Tori's original. Much prettier. //]

Another wonderful video from Tori; I decided to put in some background music for it. (I hope you can forgive the compression - I haven't been able to work out .wmv files perfectly just yet...I'll post the entire MP3 RECord on my main page if anyone wants to get the picture a little clearer...)

[// Again, I'm just jumping on the "Metaphorest-is-a-Goddess" bandwagon, but it seems fitting. I tried to add a little reverberation and soft solo to her already absolutely perfect ode to hitRECord. Such majesty she has in that talented brain of hers. //]

As if I couldn't say enough about how great Metaphorest's song "I'm Gonna HitRECord" is...I decided to actually remix it, adding bass and a little solo riff in there. I hope you enjoy it Metaphorest as well as all the other HitRECorders out there!

I hope this remix does her song justice. I have been holding onto this one for a while out of anxiousness/nervousness. So here it goes...


...and your golden castle
was last seen flying behind clouds last summer

so to everything that held you back before
wave goodbye and say hello to everything being okay

and this little dance you do
it slows the jetstream to a crawl
and guides those clouds
back into our awaiting arms

to climb the golden steps to the top
and we'll put our flag into its rightful place
we'll claim this land in the name of everything being okay

Here I have rewritten my music to moonbug's "one day i was lost" (along with all the other wonderful tiny stories in wirrow's collection) and begun the trilogy (?)...hopefully I can pull it off, but I plan on making sure all three songs are three different styles (or, knowing my affinity for the depressing, at least different tempos and chords), and work as three separate entities while, at the same time, they could be melded together to make one long song. So here goes...

This is just version 1 of the music I wanted to put behind Philip Baker Hall (Magnolia holy crap) amazing reading of Mr. Johnson's "The Man in the Herringbone Hat" RECord.

[// There is something in my bones that screams "angry western music", and I just felt, when I listened to this amazing RECord by RegularJoe/rcjohnso that I should add an underlying sense of dread, even if that wasn't the author's original intention. Did it work? I'm not sure, but it was fun coming up with something distorted nonetheless. //]

[// I have always had an endless fascination with the ideas of children and their thought processes, their innocence and naivety. I am always trying to tap into that somehow, and I might have gotten close with this one. I'm very proud of it, and it seems as though via was happy to have it part of her awesome collaboration. And any time you can make Mr. Matt Conley happy, well, that's a good day, overall, I think. //]

Another version of the same theme. I couldn't decide which one I liked better. Basically the same chords but played differently and this time with lyrics (below). Again, I hope this is good for via's collab; it tends to be right up my alley...



when we were kids // we knew the score
and it was always in our favor
when we were kids // when we were bored
we would count the dots on the ceiling

we had all the time in the world
when each day bled into the next
i will cherish them always

when we were kids // we couldn't imagine
how the world would feel without our parents around
and as we grew up // it slowly dawned on us
that what we had was not attainable again

let's not regret those foolish games we played
we were kids and it seemed logical then
what little the pictures can tell us now
is all we'll have as the memories decay
i will cherish you always

i always pretended i was asleep...

I wanted to add something...anything...to this collaboration. I tried all day to think of something artful...something beautiful, and I tried not to express it in the same way I always do: through song. But alas, I could only create this sound.

I remember waking up to do laundry; having just finished high school and waiting on the whole college deal, I felt it was necessary to just lounge around and really do nothing all the time. I can remember walking towards the living room (everyone was at work) and seeing a message on the machine. I played it as I was gathering up my laundry. I can't remember every line that my father said, but I do remember this one:

"Jeremy, you need to turn in the television to CNN. What you will see is going to change everything you know. Your world is about to change." It was approximately 8:58 am.

So I saw the first tower burning. I wasn't sure what my father meant, and felt he was being a little dramatic. I went to put the clothes in the washer and came back out to the living room and heard people screaming. And there is where I saw the second plane hit, and the reactions it received. I wasn't sure what I was looking at just yet, but I suddenly got hit with a pain I had never felt; like I lost something I never knew I had: naivety and innocence. My entire world view was really going to change; the world would be completely different in my eyes from here on out, and I wasn't sure why just yet.

My parents were in the Navy (there's a huge naval base here in Pensacola), and left work early to come home and sit my sister and I down (she was still in school, so this had to be around 2:30pm). After watching the towers fall, seeing building 7 fall, watching people screaming and running and jumping to their deaths...my 18 year old brain couldn't process exactly what I was seeing, or what it meant. My parents sat us down and told us who Osama Bin Laden was, what he wanted, what he meant to the US Foreign relations both past and future. They sat us down and told us to always be mindful of our own arrogance; to remind us that compassion and humility in these times was going to be immensely important.

I can't recall exactly where I was when I heard about my grandmother dying. I can't recall exactly where I was when I found out my parents were getting a divorce. I can't remember exactly where I was when I found out my uncle had committed suicide.

But I can remember exactly who and where I was this Tuesday: I was standing in my living room with tears coming down my face, and I couldn't for the life of me understand why.

I am completely stuck on what to do with this song; so I thought I'd throw it up here and see if you awesome musicians could help me out - if you need the stems, just lemme know; "ask and ye shall receive" I always say.


****Lyrics:


once pristine vials of nascent youth


now a broken heart i can't refuse


if i could hear you one more time


i'm sure i'd eventually change my mind


but you're dead and gone


where you belong


i think i'll let the ghosts of my past stay dead


 


the mirrors have become infused


with portraits of what was once you


they monitor my every step


with every condescending breath


but you're dead and gone


right where you belong


so why can't these ghosts of my past stay dead?


 


as the years disintegrate


i slowly forget the mistakes i made


just when i think i made it out


i see your face in every cloud


i thought you were dead and gone


right where you belong


but the ghosts of my past are resurrecting

I saw Jane's wonderful lil Tiny Story and decided to write a song to it. And this is that song. I think that makes sense.


Jane's original tiny story:


 


A little cloud sat crying raindrop tears.


 


Hope came along, wrapped him in her arms,


 


and the little cloud found his silver lining.
