A Favour to ask of you

Ogg · Post by **Ogg** » Mon Aug 23, 2004 4:35 am

Would you be so kind as to download one song, yes just ONE song (took me 56 seconds on my 1.1mb connection) from yesterdays practise http://www.purescience.com/matt/ogg/ . This is about the sixth take of a new tune entitled 'Too Far'. I think it has a lot of feel and certainly 'Rocks' in places. I am paticulary pleased with the cool time change around the 2 min 47 sec mark (you would not believe how difficult it was to explain this). The quality music wise is pretty good but the vocals are the usual mire so I've included the lyrics until the polished version is complete.
I have never worked so hard on one paticular song, both mentally and physically and really would appreciate some feedback. This is all from the heart and I can offer no more incentive to have a listen.
Thankyou.

I played my drums yesterday for the first time since my hassle began and I honestly do not think I've ever played with such venom.
I am writing page after page of lyrics and spending a lot of time on arrangments etc.
Anyway, I have been so prolific of late that the guitarist thinks we could revive the concept album, lol. Of course all my meandering has a common theme but I doubt we ever will complete the concept, besides we still have to finish our 'On Any Given Day..' e.p.

Sincere Thankyou's to Elfling for hosting the song..again. Thanks mate

HusK: 'Too Far'

So Far, So Far...to fall
to fall inside this hell
Is this different for you than me?
Are you hurting silently?
I've got the dirt that grinds me down

We were safe and honour bound
We were fools to play the clown
I dont know If I can laugh
' jokes on us (I dont want to)

I wanna, dont wanna spit in your eye
Wear a little boy hat, feeding the lie
I dont care; I dont mind
We all fall down but we choose our luck
but if we fall now would you rush to get up?
I really wish I knew...

At this moment you
ought to offer truth
from inside

Fly away fly Away
Miles away miles away

Lyrics D Faulkner
Music D Jennings/D Faulkner

Hmmmm, 9 views and not a sausage. is it really that bad?

.
I hope the lyrics dont give a false impression of melancholic content. The track is actually quite 'heavy' in places with hints of Metallica era crunching and an 80's epic sheen

. The overall intent is one of defiance.

I liked the change up @ around 2:57 I think the music fit well with the lyrics but I couldn't understand them with the download. I read them first and could follow through with a hint at the lyrics. It must be really difficult to match lyrics to music and you did it very well...
...If you can clear up the lyrics so the words gets thru with the music, it would be much better. Just my naive opinion. At any rate don't ever stop enjoying life and send us some more messages..

Thanks Ogg,
very cool!

You guys are going to end up recording everything again once you find a better mix

I can't really comment on the song, I can't hear it over the drums!

Everything else must be louder, but good drum track

hehe

Ogg, I was glad to have the lyrics, and would like to hear this one with the lyrics done clearly. The angst is showing in the music, and that is a good thing.
