  1. new one, im not bitter i swear wake up you're alone again despite the man that's in your bed there's no sympathy when you settled on settling - so wake up and tie down your shoes the everyday has become old news don't you dare start to cry come to terms with this mediocre life - no time will ever be enough to mend the wounds you left when you decided you belonged to him i'll try my best to erase you from my mind but you can't make love go away - join your hands, now with hands your hearts. repressed emotions play the part my hats off to you for this performance said "i do" don't stop now keep your smile wide never forget your alibi you and love are thick as thieves so bite your tongue and, feign the weakened knees - when the day is done and you lay your head down end the scene tell me who's face it is when you close your eyes and start to dream
  2. thanks guys The chorus is a metaphor for someone who's surrounded by amazing things, but is unable to move forward- hence the gold cage. It's my life story right now haha! The verses were written around it more as an analogy of my take on the music business.
  3. Hah! Likely to be famous/rockstar?! I love you guys, really. Thanks for the smile. ps- new stuff coming veryyy soon, and its AWESOME. of course you all hear it first!
  4. New solo song I'll record sometime soon prolly, thinking of calling it 'iron sight'. Peer down this sight and squeeze the kill Tracked down to satisfy a fill Wounded and bruised the bird began to sing "Trade me this pot for a cage and I'll make you my king" Encased in a cage made of gold Giving the fabled illusion that I’ve sold Something on my own If merit brings meaning then I can't help feeling locked up Peer out watch night turn into day These jeweled bars ensure where I'll stay "Dear Bird your songs have fallen ill" "My boiling offer is standing still" oh how i long to feel the wind fulfill these wings from tail to chin old songs of joy won't ride this breath Give this bird flight or give me death You can hear the already recorded stuff here if you're interested.

    Ke$ha

    "Just show me where your dicks at" Is this what music has come to nowadays? Drew Barrymore in Music & Lyrics said it best: "A melody is like seeing someone for the first time. The physical attraction. Sex." "But then, as you get to know the person, that's the lyrics. Their story. Who they are underneath. It's the combination of the two that makes it magical." What did we learn? Ke$ha underneath... is some sort of binge drinking prostitute. ...wait, i think i just figured out why shes popular. (no hate for those who like her, i really like sex too)
  6. Well when you call spell check on a post that has no typos other than my abbreviations and lack of apostrophes ie: don't / dont, I can see why.
  7. lol the confusing part is that there aren't any typos in my post other than my abbreviations.
  8. i trieeeed sooo haaaard to be what you neeededdd
  9. teehee, this song is less produced than paramore records! she could have recorded this in her garage.
  10. I commented on this before listening to it thinking there was some noticeable autotune, but after hearing it and seeing ya'lls debate i can tell you the vocal track is pretty damn dry. There's one basic harmony background and almost no ear candy on the main. Sounds like a simple compressor and maybe a sprinkle of reverb. What you guys are prolly buggin out on is her descending melody on "wish right now". Girls got control over her voice, but we already knew that. =) In all likelihood it is tuned. But not everyone has played with or seen antares or melodyne used. Almost everything you hear on the radio is tuned, its just that the sensitivity is at an almost impossible to notice level. It has more to do with getting a fuller/more pro sound out of your doubles and harmonies than it does with making up for a poor singer. Vocal takes are kinda like snowflakes, theyre almost never the same. Sometimes this can make harmonies and doubles sound funny, or chorus-d out. To compensate for this you usually see engineers tuning the vocal w/ a light sensitivity to flatten out any slight wavering or minute key problems that by itself in the mix of the song aren't noticeable, but after adding a double or harmony on top might become apparent. In addition, most of the songs you listen to that have 2 voicings at the same time are also using vocal-align, another huge plug-in that takes two vocal takes and conforms the second to the first- making them identical in phrasing. It's fucking nuts, some of the shit studio producers use on a daily basis will blow your mind. But back on topic, once you start decreasing the autotune sensitivity is where you start hearing the t-payne effect. Once you hit zero (maybe even negative, dont remember), you're hearing typane-ismz as you hear it on the radio. hope i dont come off as a know it all , but i spend a lot of time in a hd studio- I actually just got home from a vocal mixing session haha.
  11. b.o.b. is pretty sick, him and bigsean + xv are the only 3 upcoming dudes with maybe wiz khalifa slightly behind worth listening to
  12. its done as an effect, can't escape that in hiphop today, since its what sells Can read the comments on the original leak at 2dopeboyz http://2dopeboyz.okayplayer.com/2010/04/12/b-o-b-%E2%80%93-airplanes-f-hayley-williams/
  13. an even better picture... my band on the day 1 roster. whats funny: We told them we couldn't play as I wont (and currently am) be in the country! I'm crying inside... I don't think I'll get over this ever.
  14. DONT LEEEET ME GET AWAAAAYYYY AAAAAAHHHH
  15. thanks guys bad news though... I can't believe I'm saying this. We're turning down bamboozle! :crybad: I have 4,000$ in nontransferable air fare for tomorrow to leave the country and hang out in switzerland for 10 days. The bamboozle staff STILL hasn't told us our stage information, what day, or time; that would have allowed me to make a decision. Sooo I'm going =(( Tim had plans to leave the state as well and would have had to pay a huge penalty to cancel them. SO UNFAIR!!! (is going to cry self to sleep tonight)
  16. you could... watch us play @ bamboozle left while you're here! I'm not sure if we play on the soco day or the afi day yet. still waiting on our laminates.
  17. Its ok fran, me loves you. If you want you can email kyrsten about it at ssrbooking@yahoo.com. in other news.. Looks like we're playing Bamboozle Left next week! Anyone going?
  18. mindy w. is stupid hot. Does it bother anyone else that we're instinctively drawn to attractive people when they did absolutely nothing to deserve it?
  19. oooh, i'll look at these tanxx
  20. This website is like 75% dick. No lies.
  21. Suggest some books fellow pf boarders! I'm on a fiction binge at the moment. I read all the percy jackson books recently and despite them being very kiddish I actually enjoyed them Harry Potter meets greek mythology. Would like to find another fiction/fantasy series to keep me busy. I've only read the harry potters and his dark materials as far as that genre goes. Usually read nonfiction and its gotten sorta boring. so what say you?
