this is a song a song a song i made :D

I gathered a bit of lyrics from a facebook thred...I asked my friends for suggestions and got some cool inspiration. 

Sort of hitrecord inspired really.

 Sometimes I feel like I have too much goin on

listened to lizzienrose's record and could not get it out of my head. picked up a few instruments (viola, drums, glockenspiel, etc) and had a little fun.

Continuing to build off of lava_tornado's "feet first" and Babbish's "Battlin Beats." There's a verse by me in the middle. I decided to call this version "BATTLEstars" because I added some science fiction elements for whatever reason.

I basically integrated my verse into the "Battlestar Beat" RECord (REsourced below) but I did trim down a section of that and added some slight modifications, namely a ray gun sample from www.sounddogs.com.

This needs something or lots of things but I'm not sure what! Please go crazy! :) I'll upload stems presently!

I was sailing in the bathtub
I didn’t have an oar
I was shouting for the captain
But he was overboard
On the bathroom floor

I was flying in a bubble
Floating on the breeze
But I knew I was in trouble
When it drifted into the trees
To the taunts of the passing bees

Where have I come from?
Where am I going?
There's no way of knowing, no.
Should I shuffle this way?
Should I run that way?
Captain come and steer this boat

I was swimming in a soup bowl
'til I got out of my depth
Then I clung on to the bread roll
So I could catch my breath
But I haven't caught it yet

All the king's men couldn't fix me
I'm a faulty Rubik's cube
I'm a second-hand shop jigsaw
With a missing piece or two
Impossible to conclude

Where have I come from?
Where am i going?
There's no way of knowing, no.
Should I shuffle this way?
Should I run that way?
Captain come and steer this boat

This is me singing along with Megan's beautiful piano cover of wirrow's 'the atom song'

while working on a REmix of "the prize," i got this riff in my head. so i put prize on hold and worked on this.

sampled a bit of Lava Tornado and another tasy find from GwenInterrupted's trusty loop collection.

Guitar, Bass, Arrangement ~ meeeee

rather than sit around with it, i'm sharing it in its "rough draft" state. or whatever.

i'd love to get someone doing a nice hip hop flow to it. or something of that nature.

tbc.

this is why i hit RECord.

<3

This RECord can now be heard on the HitRECorderly #3 Vinyl (released Summer 2012) as "Diamond in the Rough"

check it out here:

I'm sick. again. so i sang about it :-/

"take me away

forget the day

I want to fly.

come, spread your wings

take everything

leave it behind.

fly away."

This is a track I made and a song I have been working on for a while but I just dont have the rest of. Please feel free to fill in the empty spaces. 

The world of tiny stories pattern background. This pattern is seamless and you can tile it to make even bigger pattern.

*********

Just something to sum up our work with tiny stories. :). If I left out your work on the resources, please let me know.

Do check out how this pattern can be applied on a book cover - http://hitrecord.org/records/456624

I really liked totallyjamie's cover design so here's my take on it with a little twist. I thought it would be nice to have a dust-jacket with cut-outs of the hit-record/heart buttons through which the pattern printed on the book cover is visible.

My daughter found the party supply stash in my craft cabinet and has been bringing me a new balloon to inflate every couple hours for three days straight. This is the end result. I was planning to just upload the raw footage, but then I realized that the song "Once Upon A Balloon" would be perfect for it! And I've never done stop motion before, so we'll just call this trial and error, but I thought it turned out alright!

fun fact - that's the piano that was used to record this little song!
