Thanks muchly, they're already downloaded aaaand...3...2...1...on my ipod! You guys (and IllWobble and Kapoo for that matter) are the Lennons to my McCartney! I feel like I gotta go write some songs that go one better than everyones! Which won't be an easy task!
I think having this healthy competition between me, IllWobble, Kapoo and yourself has really upped all of our games and we're all writing good stuff!
Pity we can't all write a song together. Or could we....
Thanks Josh!!
Yeah I wonder how it could work. Problem is, once you work out a whole song on your own it's then yours and harder to accept input. Part of me loves a lot of what you two did on Penguin and HoD, but then another part of me strongly wants to claim ownership and keep them in their original simplicity (maybe with only one or 2 bits - I really want that ukelele bit in Penguin, f.e.). Anyway, maybe the best chance at collaborating is if we have an unfinished song we'd be willing to let the others have a go at finishing off. I suppose I have one extremely rough demo of a song I started off last summer - it's not all that good but any of you would be welcome to have a go of making something of it if you liked...
Bro, let's look at the glass as half-full. A can-do attitude could easily get this done. Wasn't Foster The People's "Pumped Up Kicks" wholly composed on the 'Net via various contributors? I might have my facts blurred about that. Anyway. I'm all up for it!
Let's work inside-out like an algebra equation: We could start with a mere title. Then a key. Then a tempo. Then a genre. Then ... um...you guys defer to me on everything I say. OK -- scratch that last one.
THAT sounds like a plan (sept the last bit!) If we can work out a nice title and key, genre and tempo that suits everyone (the first two being most important to the lead vocalist) then we're off to a good start.

I'm open.

So where do we start thinking up this title then?

"So Where Do We Start?" makes a good title, eh?

Dang, so now we're writing songs? suhweet! although I don't know how I'll be able to contribute because I suck!! at the technical aspects necessary.. maybe I can add lyrical content? you know what would be cool, if you guys could write the whole thing with melody, even with lyrics, and then I'll just re-write the lyrics as I see fit!
seriously though, I like doing crap like that. I would also give my instrumental composition call Muzakal Chords (at my YouTube spot) if you guys wanted to write something to that. I personally think the music to that is gorgeous but I suppose I'm quite biased.. its just dying for a good melody/good set of lyrics. you know what else I'd like to write in the style of? there is that song by the Cars, which goes I don't mind you coming here.. wasting all my time.... well that song utilizes a very chunky 8th note chord structure. I want to write a song using that chord structure, just straight ahead 8th notes. plus the great thing about it is its so simple! you guys like that idea? let me know where I can help, I'd love to co-write with you cats! wish we could get together and write live. I'm good with 'Where Do We Start' as the title. We can make that as refering to 'where do we start' fixing a broken relationship? or where do we start in taking the next step toward achieving something.. it can go a lot of directions. cool title illwobs! you're done now, darth, audi and I got it from here
K-man: Use your phone thingy and record a few runs of your suggested 8th notes riff. I'll let you pick the tempo. Joshy, what key?

Hmmm....E or A are good but simple keys. so either of them I'm cool with if you guts are. Or we could just split the difference and say G? lol

: The problem is, now we've agreed
on a title, I'm just starting to try and write the whole thing in my head! I can't stop myself...
The theme is: you and me, we've got ourselves in a bit mess, and we've messed so much stuff up, but "where do we start" "So where do we start I don't even have a clue and it's too hard talking to you when I know .... " {I have a melody with this too}

"E or A are good..."? Are? Are???!!! Oh, dear.
whatever you say is fine. I like E. It just needs to work with Kapoo's 8th note request.

lol I'm completely open to requests, whatever's good for everyone. What keys do you tend to lean towards?
And yeah Kapoo's 8th note suggestion sounds cool

Fellas, work is beckoning today and tomorrow.. we have our 2012 kickoff meetings all day.. so participation at this forum will be minimal today and tomorrow however I'm going to try to break off a couple musical thoughts tonight so as to not schwill my end of this project. hopefully I can get something out to you guys tonight. illwobble seems like he's got a song going over there already!
you'll have to see if you can integrate my 8th note pattern. if not we can always write a second. watch, we'll have an album going in no time
later!

Can you write music to illwobble's lyrics? That'll get us off to a nice start.

Well, that's writing in my book. Actually, I'd like for all of us to have a hand in both the lyrics and music composition.

Yeah. Maybe if one of us writes lyrics and music for a verse, someone else writes the chorus and someone writes a middle 8.

I just sent the 3 of you a couple of sample MP3 vocal snippets to start with! In addition to "So Where Do We Start" I had another idea in the meantime, for one called "Pink Clothes". SO WHERE DO WE START So where do we start? I don't even have a clue And it's too hard talking to you When there's so much going wrong We're (?I'm) falling apart When I see the mess we're (?I'm) in I feel like giving up before I (?we) begin It's just gonna take so (?too) long PINK CLOTHES Just 'cause you're a girl They dressed you all (?up) in pink clothes With pink shoes and a pink coat So tell me why Just 'cause I'm a boy Should I be so blue? So assuming you all got them ok, see if any of you are inspired to develop either of these.

Sounds great. I got the email with these on too, and as Audi said I'll try putting something together for both of these over the next few days if i can!
By the way, sorry for hijacking your thread, Audi!
