I might be able to write some stuff.

Only bad thing is that this computer is currently in use by nearly everybody in the house since the other one is pretty much dead, and it's so old I'm not sure if it could even live through downloading something. So I can't download anything you send.

I do like a challenge, though, so if you don't want to put the part out any other way (like a Youtube album preview video or something), you can always just tell me the basics of the song (story, what it's about, pacing, overall feel) and I'll see what I can do.

Probably too much of a burden to go out on your way for, though.

Noid, you're a crazy person, so I want you to come up with spoken words for the song "Cake."

Its not much of a song as it is sounds of machines running and a robotic voice talking.

None the less, you just coerce the protagonist into going with you to do a psychological test, and you keep promising him cake.

Sounds good.

Should it rhyme?

Just have Noid do it. I won't be able to come up with good lyrics in the little time I have to complete them.

As I said before, I probably wouldn't be able to even listen to the song. Parlod said he could do it too.

Just send him what you have so far and you guys can collaborate or something.

edit: sent. Short. I can't really do any better than that, though. I suggest DS_Kid if you want another version, he's good at dialogue and stuff.

Send me one more. You have the demo of the song, right? I'll send some lyrics a friend helped me with.

I wanna draw some weird stuff and put it in the little booklet that comes with the album. That'd be cool.

JUST AN IDEA, COKE

For the love of God, let him do it.

I also vote that Rusty's super cool painting be in the booklet.

...You seriously don't think that something that has been plaguing my life for the past two months isn't going to get completed?

No, I meant, I thought it would be some online-only thing, but I guess that is not the case.

Also - Second try. Almost two minutes long, and the music ends when the chimes come in.

Perfect. I'm gonna need your full name to put on the Linear notes, just send me a PM.

Also, I'm stressing this now:

Anybody who wants a copy, a copy straight from me, SEND ME A PM SO I CAN WRITE YOUR NAME DOWN ON THE LIST SO YOU ARE ASSURED THAT YOU GET A LOW NUMBER.

A Low Number on the album means that it will be alot more valuable than the $0.79 for both the one DigiPak and the one disk, in the future.

Tell me now, because once the album is finished and it goes on sale on iTunes and Amazon, I will be bringing whatever disks I've made that havent been reserved and pass them out to friends, the guys at the music store that provided me with all of my equipment at a low price, sent out to magazines and record companies, and sold to anyone who listened to the demo and want to buy one straight from me.

Hurry now.

I might be interested in doing some vocals.

What would you like me to sing?

oooooookay, I need someone to help me add more to these lyrics a friend came up with:

Quote:
Awake in darkness hear the cries, of all the unknown helpless lives, machines roar death outside these walls but calmness breaths as it crawls. I feel their lies I feel their hate, a consumed, condemned, endless fate. Lost within this room of...

Please? Anyone with any sense of lyrical sensibility...

If you like that I'll try to write some more when I get time. AKA a chorus.

Why do all these things happen?
How can we let them pass?
All the lives they've wasted,
We say it all happened fast,
Don't they deserve something more? It's time we all fought back, isn't there something we can do? Their hate has pushed us to the fore...

After that I kinda got stuck, I might be able to get the rest of that verse in, and a chorus, then maybe a third verse. Likey?

You've heard the song, right? There really isn't a chorus... Its all supposed to be one long verse, then vocals end and a distorted guitar comes crashing in as the next song opens.

Also, Charles doesn't know whats going on, so he doesn't know if he's in a Death Factory, or if he's in the back room of a Toys R' Us.

D'oh. Yeah, sorry, I kind of forgot about that. Fix'd. And now I have to write a journal inquiry paper, so I'll work on it tonight or tomorrow.
