musicinyourhead's RECommendations
- Beat 714
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.

- Road 714
I never made anything quite like this... hope you like it
Lyrics:
No longer stuck in this 9 till 5
duffelbags in, close the trunk
let's drive
Going down the I-95, hit that 714
Press replay, play it once more
My sig other impatiently tapping the cardoor
Can't wait to get there with the one
I adore
Going down the I-95, hit that 714
Press replay, play it once more
Engines revving, some pass us by
I don't care though, just keep my hand close to her side
Going down the I-95, hit that 714
Press replay, play it once more
She's still asleep and I'm starry-eyed
We've finally arrived, I hear the waves collide
She's still asleep and I'm starry-eyed
We've finally arrived, I hear the waves collide

You thought you could outstrip the sunlight So you wasted away in the blue. We knew you would have to fall sometime if you kept telling us what was true. So we scattered your words To the scavenging birds And we left you alone on your hill. I can still see you there With your radiant stare And the ocean you keep with you still.
We asked you to build us a shelter With the bricks that we threw at your feet. We asked you to plant us a garden In a bed full of solid concrete. You could never be versed In the way of the hearse So we gave you the loneliest pill. And when you spit it back With a mouth full of Jack We closed in with a look to the kill.
They rescued the rest of a hymnal From the pitch and the swell of your name. It’s always the god-fearing people Who are waiting to dole out the blame. I still say that you found A way back to the ground But I know that you’re there up above. I can still hear the sound Of the wings that we drowned When you pulled off the veil of our love.
(Wrote this while trying to come up with text for IrmaVep's beautiful image. A song for everyone with something to say who died before they got a chance to say it. Might need a chorus, I dunno.)

Inspired by ppeppina's beautiful song "Hetki". As soon as I heard this song, I just had to make an animation for it.
Here are ppeppina's lyrics - in Finnish and in English
On elämä kummallista tosiaan - Life is very strange indeed
Täällä yksi yössä laulaa vaan - Here this one is just singing
Vaikka pitäis mennä nukkumaan - Even though it's time to sleep
Mut aika on huijari, pelkkä haamu - But time is a cheater, only a ghost
Tääl voi olla yö, mut tuol jossain on aamu - It might be a night here, but somewhere it's morning
Siellä heräilen parhaillaan - I'm just about to wake up there
Nää sävelet ilmassa soi yksinään - these melodies fly alone in the air
Ei niistä kiinnostu yksikään - and absolutely no one cares
Kuluvat sekunnit mua säestää - the passing seconds are accompaning me
Tää hetki on mun, jo nukkuvat muut - This moment is mine, others already sleep
Talo ja taivas ja piha ja puut - The house and the sky and the yard and the trees
En vois pyytää enempää - I couldn't ask for more
Mut hetken kestää hetki vaan - But a moment lasts only for a moment
Se on ohi ennen kuin huomaatkaan - It's gone before you know it

*Note* The quality of the online streaming doesn't seem too great, but if you download the video you'll see it clearly in 720p :)
Note: This animatic is meant only as such. Only as ideas and guidance, I have ideas far beyond this and I know animators and illustrators will bring their ideas on pacing, scenes and their own style to the table. This was created in an afternoon to help better explain an idea and nothing more. Cheers.
