lyrics:

Blame it on the green light

you're turning me on

blame it on the yellow light 

when you start to yawn

yeah you just yawn

what's going on?

you always yawn

what's going on?

Blame it on the red light

when you say good night

can't forget those good nights

can't forget those good nights

on the road

you're so nice to know

Is it you inside my head?

is it you or what mama said?

am i mislead

by your color changing eyes?

They say it's time for bed

and I can't sleep here tonite

but thats alright

Blame it on the red light

when you say good night

can't forget those good nights

won't forget those good nights

on the road

you're so nice to know

Worked in the additions from Lyrictician and Ashes2Ashes. 

Other changes: cut back a bit on audio in intro for sake of "the build", did a lot of EQ/compression work - should play better/louder with more spacing for all frequencies. 

Thanks to YOU ALLS for your help collaborating on this, feels great to share a lil' song with you all. 

Lemme know whutcha think?!   :)

LYRICS

intro Don't be scared of my love (scratched up) Ashes: What we gonna do?  I don't know, I don't know why... we don't know, we don't know

1st verse (theboxsets) You speak so freely like I'm not even there. This guy that guy this guy that guy this guy over there.It really ain't the fact that I wasn't prepared cuz I was. then I found out you still cared. What to do there?  I dunno  (we dunno) I'm still a boy . The laughter screams your name. All the good people walk through me, sending me insane.

2nd verse (ashes2ashes): I gave away all the words that didn't mean a thing/and kept inside this safest place/ the words "I love you baby"/ and then we walked away

3rd verse (theboxsets)  Like I was Just a ghost. past tense and hollow but still a host of intense sentiments too hot to swallow. I'm opposed to this.   I miss ya miss. I bless bless you without the hachoo I spot you in a room and I'm posessed by a spirit to get nearer Flesh to flesh is transparent right now but it'll soon be apparent somehow my love for you remains

4th end verse (ashes2ashes)  I guess I'll call it "foolish lovers" mistake Our heavy egos and suspicions, They just got in the way but now I don't need no superstitious seance to say "My love for you remains"

took a little longer than I thought (thx again Vickie for getting the stems together), but here's a rap all about birds.  kinda go off on a tangent and may need some reworking but felt great to get the flow out.

Could certainly stand for some bass or other subtle instrumentation to mix it up.  I'd love to have you involved with some layering on top of this Vickie or if you have any ideas for fleshing out the arrangement so we can spotlight you or some other RECorders, might be interesting. i

big thanks to Wendyl ove for letting me finish this record while she cooked dinner goodness

95 BPM

love,

mc chickadee/dj woodpecker

Pammy - 

A vocal demo for you.  Trying to bridge the gap and find a spot for the wolf character.  Lemme know what you think.  I followed suit and grabbed some HR text from Feanne's "Chocolate Today Not Tomorrow" song for the first part of my rap verse.   

This is fun :)

yum,

Evan

lyrics 

oh hello my sweet little girl

How I've been expecting you

tea on the left

COOKIES ON THE RIGHT!

Here I set out

I'm that big bad beast ya talk about

on my knees. or in your kitchen

the one that got yer whole body twitchin

rap verse:

hello sugar honey

butterscotch creamy

pure hot hot steamy

deep dark chocolate kiss today

don't procrastinate with your chocolate

don't procrastinate lemme get that 

ice cream sundae

don't worry 

we've been working out

its quite radical but time to be up out

and get mad

lets take sabbatical 

i'm bad Michael Jack emphatical

 - small space for you maybe -  

Ima eat my sweet treats sitting in your Dad's favorite seats

and then eat you

and I ain't through til its over 

what the....?

SLEEP SLEEP DEEP

LITTLE ONE

BIG BIGBREATH AND BIG BIG FUN

SLEEP SLEEP DEEP

7:59 means crime fighting time.  I let my sign shine above the night sky line.  Make a Bee Line to undress.  Grab the garb from my dresser, driven by the danger of a damsel in distress.  AWWW SHOOOT.  She claims I look cute.  Frame me in a photo? This I refute.  I get drastic in my tight suit and my plastic boots,  But if I have to, I'll distract you with my looks.  Then I'm gone with grapplin' hooks, unravelling crooks' crooked dreams.  I split 'em at the seams like my left pant leg.  Slip in to the, dip in to the water closet.  COUGH COUGH.  turn up the faucet, then I'm off.  Up out the window, saving peoples lives like DJ's in my super hero PJS  

(with no delay we slip into the dip into the most replayed)

SLEEP SLEEP DEEP

LITTLE ONE

BIG BIGBREATH AND BIG BIG FUN

SLEEP SLEEP DEEP

Mama say sleep.  Don't wanna hear another peep outta you.  Ya keep em up.  Your brother? Ya beat em up? Your mother? She's heating up.  That's when you give in, DEEP DEEP BREATH - SEPARATION BEGIN

I go ahead and jump head first in the deep end at the end of my bed - some of the Requiem.  REM in the A or P M.  Oh shit, there's a party in the mausoleum.  The dinosaurs left the museum, didya see 'em? No I did not but Rita wants me to meet her at the G-Spot.  I stop drop and roll without a slice of butter.  Look down, my uncle is living underground in the gutter.  I try to say HI but I stu-stu-stutter, then my feathers start to flutter.  The ice cream stays tasty soft when you're living in a loft.  This is off never on tiil the break of dawn , separation.

seems Voyager has seeped into my beat transmissions.  and it is too late. 

not particularly relevant to the requests, but may be helpful somewhere.  thought i'd share.  Also, tried to keep it relatively open for melodies/vocals.

A basic midi instrument hip hop beat with a summery vibe.  Plays out initially with all parts dancing together and then all of the stems are broken down for remixing.

90 BPM

beat inspired by Jonathan Lethem's "Vaster than Charlotte".  It's part of his "Promiscuous Songs" collection that is free text for writers/musicians to have fun with...

 (http://www.jonathanlethem.com/promiscuous_songs.html

Some stems play out solo later in song.  REC away

Indie meets oldies meets box set track I'm finishing up.  Any thoughts, suggestions, remixes would be lovely.  Thanks for listening!

out of the BPM world.

another experiment with Autotune, drum loops and guitar layering. Tony and I threw this together one silly evening. breaks down into parts towards the end.

lyric: "i respectfully expect it to only manifest when i detect my best reflection in someone else."

Another song I did and Tony threw some guitar down to make it pop.  Props to Lynn, Anne, Becca for the moaning soul additions.  There's a blip in the audio file of this one unfortunately but we can remix around it.  Dowhatyafeel
