I uploaded the stems if anyone needs them!

I left this version really simple, so there's plenty of space for anyone else to add some more instruments or vocals. The chords I used are C, Am7, F and G

Lyrics:

The wind came

And blew the trees

Turned the meadow

Into a golden sea

Dandelions flew

One seed at a time

Floating away into the sky

You laid your head

Down next to mine

We watched the circus

Marching across the sky

Dandelions flew

One seed at a time

Floating away into the sky

Water floats around my head

Water floats around my head

Clouds move in and hide the sun

I close my eyes and take a breath

A lark is singing overhead

You say "Yes, we're sinking now,

But can you hear that wondrous sound?"

Ooh

We're sinking now

We're sinking down

We're sinking now

We're sinking down

I close my eyes for one last breath

A lark is singing overhead

You say "Yes, we're sinking now,

But can you hear that wondrous sound?"

I'd adore it if anyone wants to add anything (harmonies, more instruments, anything!) I know it's pretty bare... but hey, I wrote a song! This is new and exciting for me:)

artifacts of me and you (chords in brackets)

(C) polished by countless hands

(Em) I seep into you

(Am) though the sign says

do not touch

(F) alter alteration, (Em) degrade degradation

(Dm) transform transforma (Am) tion

(C) take preventative measures

I (Em) frame you under glass

as (Am) prophylactic protection from myself

(F) control the humidity

(Dm) the sign said

do not (Am) touch

(C) limit my senses

if I (Em) get to experience you

(Am) no one else can

(F) I've exposed you to the (Em) air

(Dm) the sign said

do not (Am) touch

(F) pockets overflow with

(Em) stolen souvenirs

(Dm) until there's nothing left

(F) the moisture in my breath

(Em) erodes thousand year old paint

(Dm) until there's nothing left

(F) my flash makes you fainter

(G) as each picture takes things

(Dm) until there is nothing left

(Am) the sign always says

do not touch

(F) alter alteration, (Em) degrade degradation

(Dm) transform transforma (Am) tion

(C) touch crumbles you to dust

(Em) seeping through my hands

(Am) do I breathe you in?

(Dm) do I breathe you (Am) in?

I really liked this gritty little chord prog and immediately thought of a tune when I read Albert's lyrics. I added a bridge in the middle to tie the two pieces together and stretched my vocals to their limit trying to be as soulful as I can be. Well, a musical theater approximation of soulful.

The extra verse goes like this:

But if time is a street then it's 79th 'cause you can't go left you can only go right and if time is a river it can break the Hoover Dam!

And if change is a woman then she's been around- she's been bringing you up and she's getting you down. But from the the look in your eyes I think "Change" might be a man....

Thanks Albert!

Wrote this song May 25, 2011. I was inspired by Prison on Route 41 by Iron and Wine though it doesn't sound anything like it or have any of the same meaning for some reason just inspired me to write this. Here are the lyrics.

Lets forget about the little things

they don't mean a thing but a chicken wing

when's the last time that we got away

from the urban grays to a quiet place

hey what do you say

lets act on faith what could we lose

yah, things have been hard

not in my car

blow off some steam

drive off these blues

weaving in and out of traffic jams

take the turnpike man

i don't give a damn

i don't have no change or dollar bills

keep it on a roll

lets just blow the toll

hey what do you say

lets act on faith what could we lose

yah, things have been hard

not in my car

blow off some steam

drive off these blues

A second version of the song I recorded last night. This time with my mic and stuff. I kind of wanted it to sound like a girl singing all alone on a church or a music hall just screaming at this man (or woman) who dun her wrong.

There are some funny creaking noises and it took me a good hour to figure out that it's my very old desk chair.  It actually kind of sounds like I've got gas but I can't be bugged to fix it so...you know. It's the chair.

Ahh finally some sunshine after 2 weeks of continuous rain. Wrote a little ditty, hope you guys like it!

i did this colab with my old friend Tómas http://soundcloud.com/tomz89/tomz-death-of-a-scooba-fish he did the music, i wrote the lyrics and sang the vocals...

i personally love this... i hope you like it :)

I fit as much as I could into here. That is, Magdalena's beat, ohthestorieswetold's VO, gweninterrupted's chorus, todd's verbal sample (it almost sounds like a percussion instrument, but I'm pretty sure it's a tongue click. someone double check). I think it's pretty cool that everything in the song so far is organic. All produced on the body, either by speech or thump. Shouldn't we keep it that way?

I just wrote this song on my grandpa's old guitar. I didn't bother setting up my recording stuff so it's done with my laptop mic and as such gets scartchy/staticy in some places but I'm putting it up anyway because I felt this performance down into my marrow and I...dunno. Wanted to preserve it, share it. Whatever.

I was directly inspired by the idea of writing a story around a song that already exists- in this case Lizzienrose's "The Garden." I don't like the idea of burying my things in the garden. You bury things that are dead and only a very small proportion of things-you-can-potentially-bury end up growing back out of the ground. You can bury a lot of things in a garden. You can bury a body, a brick, a shoebox, a love, your gold. As long as you don't expect to see it again anytime soon.

La letra:

You were a fallen angel and I was your saving grace. But even our heaven had a rank and file and I took second place.

Did I tell you I’m scared of mirrors? Because I don’t like what you see. I’m looking at pictures that you took behind my back and I can’t help blaming me…

So will you write me down the answer dear because I don’t know? Am I the dirty water to her melted snow? And oh you left me blue but it was never me, it was always you.

I left the house on Tuesday. Said I’d be to the store and back. I buried my things in the garden so I wouldn’t have to pack.

I’m in my mama’s bedroom now. The front of her shirt is wet. There’s salt in the air and we look so alike I can’t tell who’s more upset.

All I can drink is coffee and all I can eat is bread. I can’t blame my heart because I know I  owe her for running my veins with red….

Tried to put some harmonies on this lovely song even though it sounds perfect without them.

<3

girl be careful on your way back home
don't walk down any alleyways alone
the shadows are alive and closing in
they've been following you everywhere you've been

check the corners, check the ceiling,
check the walls
check beside you floating down the hall
check the lobby, check your bedroom, check the den
'cause they've been following you everywhere you've been

the shadows are alive and closing in...

FINALLY this uploaded!! The fourth time's a charm! :D

thought I'd give a shot at turning it into a performance piece ...a possible soundtrack for a future video...

Motionless
i lie and wait
There's only so much
i can take
i've been alone for oh so long
i thought i'd put it in this song

i'm Motionless
emotionless
i feel no love
at least not enough
i'm motionless

i'm Motionless
emotionless
i feel no love

Just threw a little melody/lyrics and what nottt... Hope you like!

Amanda <3

Just noticed fleurdelys also released a REmix for this lovely ditty and just like her, I sort of felt guilty as I was singing along to it. 

Hope you like it and thanks for 'The Professor'! 

words:

like your chemistry a hollow you like in your chest where you hide don't fill it up; you might be left outside cold on the tips warmer as you move in taste the salt on my lips your salt is so different hope that we shared in a station somewhere that's a long way to go without someone with you there skin me right up with the words that you spoke i'm a veteran oak and you are my virgin steel i like your chemistry

everthing spins round and round

everything turns upside down

everything is magical

defying what is factual

the flowers here grow ten feet tall

the shrubbery all creeps and crawls

the trees all whisper lullabys

to unsuspecting passers-by

watch out for the ladybugs

they all want to give you hugs

but they'll have to wait in line

the Caterpillar's right behind

the Dormouse and the Hatter here

they all want to make it clear

that you are welcome anytime

you just need to clear your mind

of overwrought reality

because in actuality

everything is just a dream

no matter how your world may seem

I love this beautiful song. I feel kinda guilty using one of my text for the lyrics but I couldn't get it out of my head,SORRY.Ps: my english can make your ears bleed and there's probably a lot of mistakes^_^<3

This is a song I wrote as an intro for a short film a friend of mine is doing.  I hope you all like it, it was a lot of fun to make

A single I wrote and gave away for free on my bandcamp site, gregthomas.bandcamp.com

This song was written for a couple of friends of mine that were married this past summer.  It's supposed to capture a brief moment in time when that connection is first made, before anything is established.  The chorus is "You're giving me something to think about", which is always one of my favorite parts about meeting someone - having them always on your mind.

I added suzyrene's and fleurdelys's vocal and i think it's just even more better ! Cette chanson va crescendo (how do you say that in english ?) !

i adapted my cello quintet...for piano.

made with logic pro 9.

I love Metaphorest and Suzyrene song !

I just sung a little with Metaphorest and Fleurdelys !^^ Sorry for the poor sound because I just record with a poor mic ! :P

@FleurdeLys : Chapeau d'arriver à tout chanter  ! C'est trop rapide pour moi !! :P

Classical style piano piece

Okay it's not what I said I'd do but I hope you'll like it anyway.

If someone could add some xylophone to the key notes, or add some "stick drums" (the kind of drums you hear at the very beginning of Mika's "Grace Kelly", you know), it would be perrrfect :)

sometimes i feel like breaking shit. then things like this come together. at first it was supposed to be an excercize in dubstep but turned into something more "evil".

casvellon's "riding song" guitar had to pay for my evil desires :D sorry bra. it was just right and i love the loop so much wanted to use it for a long time.

tempo: 80bpm
time: 3 hours

I first joined hitRECord about, say, 7 hours ago and pretty much the first thing I heard was this drums and bells loop by gweninterrupted. I just had to do something with it!

So, 7 hours later, here's my first proper RECord (is that right?), a summery love song I suppose. Hope you'll enjoy it and I just want to say I already love it here, so see you around! 

i took my man out swimming
i took him for a ride
i took him for a dive and
i took his hand in mine

this valley full of wishes
i hollowed out for love
this time i might forget him -
he doesn't look like you.

simple song i did. you can add to it if you'd like.

This song makes me happy and inspired me this little melody, on the last stanza... Hope you'll like it !

Down by the waterfall there's new footprints on the ground

down by the stepping stones there's dirty feet and dirty clothes

do you remember when nobody else would come around

we used to skinny dip and kiss eachother as the sun went down

we drove the chevy to your grandmas house near Bailey Pond

when i was 17 that's where i wrecked my fathers car

i lost some other things that summer before you left town

i never knew that'd be the last time as the sun went down

i went a looking for you every place we used to go

somebody told me that you moved away to Mexico

I see the shadows of the trees as they begin to grow

and just like yesterday i think about the way the sun went down

 and just like yesterday i think about the way the sun went down

i don't know who i am anymore

i don't understand who i was before

there is a change underway

its time to run i cannot stay

in this dark, dreary place

today

the past must be left in the past

the future must be made to last

at last the veil is being pulled from my eyes

so i can finally see the light

in this is beautiful place

today

Ghostsounds with some percussion.  Enjoy!

as requested on tiny chat a piano song in a# major at 164 bpm.

A song I wrote for your imagination

I'd love VERY much to see this little weird song of mine being mixed with a video or pictures, all about childhood and the fear we had when we were little. Anything a little bit twisted is welcome!

This is a song that was written and recorded in one week.  In the wake of a painful break-up, it was a healing process for me, and I hope that it reaches people and can be a healing process for them too

Here is just the music...

Can someone make something with that ?

This song is dedicated to my friends.
