Don’t You Know That There’s a Difference (Between the Truth and What We’re Told)

[lew_1987]

I don't always keep a rigid structure to my songs, but here is a case of where I have. this is because i wrote the music first, then wrote the lyrics and melody for it. so that's why there's all the notation to it. its a lot more straight forward than most of my pieces, so i think it's easy to tell what its about. i also thought i'd post a recording of the song!!! its straight from midi, so i took the vocals out (they're done on saxophone). i apologise for it not sounding great. thanks for checking this out, i look forward to your opinion(s).

Verse 1 [00:07]:
Distraught in slumber,
(I don’t think we’ll ever wake up, we’ll ever wake)
To see through mouths so white.
Dormancy always played its part...
Until Now.

Chorus [00:38]:
Technically we’re just barely breathing, but,
The pulse has already been lost.

Verse 2 [00:55]:
Always seeking shelter,
But still the storm beats down harder,
(Acid mixes with water).
Can’t you see what’s happening?
What seemed like forever is here today.

Chorus [01:14]:
Technically we’re just barely breathing, but,
The pulse has already been lost.
LOST!

Chorus [01:46]:
Oh, technically we’re just barely breathing, but,
The pulse has already been lost.

The pulse has already been lost.

Bridge [02:27]:
Oh, don’t you know there’s a difference between the truth and what we’re told?
Don’t you know there’s a difference between the truth AND WHAT WE’RE TOLD!
I’m encapsulated with your beautiful lies,
And I’ve surrounded myself with these disgusting thoughts;
That a world could ever be destroyed.
A world where trust isn’t based on truth,
And guilt forms the core...

[03:18]
What seemed like forever is here today.

[03:46]
Can’t you see what’s happening?

how could I miss it? it's cool!-->waiting for megaupload to downoad midi :-)

[missmatilde]

and the music I do like as well! :-)
btw... my last piece is feeling lonely ;-) love ya

[CellarGhosts]

This is really cool. I'm at school with free time right now, so I'm using the crappy shcool computers haha, meaning, I cannot download/listen to the music right now, but when I get a chance I'll be sure to do so.

Anyway, I thought the chorus part was really cool. Very simple, and basic, in terms of there only being two/three lines, but the chorus lyrics themselves were very good.

[lew_1987]

thanks guys... i would love it if you checked out the music and gave feedback chris. you'll see how the chorus fits in on the song, i only wish i was a good singer/had equipment to record then u'd see even more how everything fits.

thanks again both of you

[CellarGhosts]

Sure thing.

I'll definatley be sure to check it out soon as possible.

[Period Piece]

As a whole, I think this fits together incredibly well. I really like how it flows too, awesome job.

I couldn't download the music, but I'll try again when I get on the PC with decent internet!

I liked the music, but I feel you could have done a lot more with the lyrics. However, I am intriuged as to how the melody will sound once you add the vocals. I found the beginning guitar part to be a bit dreary, but the rest I really enjoyed. The midi sounds good lol. What are you using? With that said, I also wish I had proper recording equipment and was a good singer.

thanks for the feedback.

yeah, i'm sure the lyrics seem a bit barren in some bits, but i'm sure the vocals would clear things up. i can understand why you thought that about the guitar on the verses, but as i said the vocals would make this sound better. i was a little reluctant to upload it without vocals because of stuff like this. i might actually try and record vocals over summer if i get bored...

i used guitar pro 5 for it. the drums are midi but everything else is RSE. it actually sounds decent enough on my pc i find :-)

[missmatilde]

make me filled with envy! I have gp5, but it suddenly stopped to work, reinstalled, but it crashes every time I open it up, so frustrating...
sorry lew, but.. I hope u will get bored this summer! :-p

i might go and purchase a mic today and do some crappy demos... yeah gp5 is such a bitch sometimes

[missmatilde]

yeay crappy demos, that'd be so cool! :-)
I currently hate gp5 (and it's on my top five addictions...) and I'v no idea of alternative programs like it :(

This is good man. I loved the chorus out of the rest. Simplistic yet good lines. This is very good man keep it up

[xxeuthanasia]

[lew_1987]

that's a pretty good song.

hehe thanks :-) i might try and record some of the vocals in the next few days, although prob not cos some of them are out of my range... it wasnt written for my voice hehe.

[xxeuthanasia]
