Heartbreak hotel!!!!!!!!!!! i would love to hear it!
: : : 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}

So where do we start thinking up this title then?
"So Where Do We Start?" makes a good title, eh?
Very good title! And we're off! Title: So Where Do We Start? Genre: ??? Key: ???
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
"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!

Great stuff! Btw, this whole pink thing is a hot political topic if we choose to take it that way: http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2011/dec/18/campaign-against-pink-toys-for-girls http://www.pinkstinks.co.uk/ I mean I agree, Pink Clothes would probably end more of a jam, but if we did want to develop the theme and add some verses, there's potential food for thought, and a ripe topic potentially

Loving the way this is going, gentlemen!! I had one thought that a slight improvement to the lyrics might be: Just 'cause you're a girl They dressed you all in pink clothes With pink clothes and a pink coat I don't know why, just 'cause I'm a boy I get so blue Take it or leave it or further tweak it, and obviously if what you're doing at the moment is layering and building on existing demos then keep going with that, but just consider these changes to the lyric for later when we go for something more final. I wish I had opportunities to really "freestyle" but I'm limited by not really having an instrument. I write all my stuff in my head, mainly during those precious moments of boredom away from a screen. This one I came up with when I was getting my little girl into the bath the other night. All her clothes were pink that day, you see.

Well I sent you guys the jam version I like the story line behind the idea, kids being steered towards fashion and stuff in life. its pretty sick if you ask me
Kapoo, I now actually have no idea which sense of the word "sick" you're using! I'm interested in polysemous adjectives like this, you see.
-
Pink Clothes is really coming on now! This is a true and great collaboration!

Ok fine, if you prefer the original lyrics that's fine by me too. I wrote them as well!! How Do You Sleep? How can you mention that mean-spirited abomination in this context, man? No, don't bother answering that, I'm sure you like the groove to it or something. I assumed based on frequency of previous usage that you used "sick" in the "cool" sense, but just wanted to check as your context above strongly suggested the earlier "morally repugnant" sense. Adjectival polysemy is a speciality of mine!!
