a slightly mad world

For a long time by now Ive been thrilled by the impact of YouTube. With that in mind I´ve placed some of me own songs there. Natuarly in hope that somebody out there would appriciate em, maybe even like em.
Some of the songs are old recording performed by my band "pbp", those recordings at least have the benefit of great female voices, something I cant say regarding song performed by me self. I love to sing, but I would never consider me as someone with a great voice, not even a voice.
On the other hand what to do when Your mind tries to speak out what You wanna sing, and noone is there to assist. Well then its a matter of DIY and the rest is up to the listener. Mybe He or She like the song but not Me singing it. That, I can live with for sure.
As stated earlier many of my songs can be found at YouTube and natuarly from time to time (almost everyday) I check out the statistics telling -How many times someone actually listen to em.
Those figuers make me wonder, there is some songs that hardly ever been listen to, yet some of them would if not qualify for some kind of amatuer hit list. Ive listed em here, why I dont know but for some odd reason "shes a ponygirl have had 4000+ listeners!!??. Telling for sure theres a load of perferverts out there.
At this moment yet another song is beeing recorded and when its ready I might take it to YouTube.
One main reason for mer writing all those songs about the people in the BDSM-fetish world is mainly beacuse I regard it as a world filled with love, even if it may look different to what we normaly call love.

Somewhere out there

It happens all the time in any non-given moment that a few words pops in to Me mind. With luck a few hours later the lyrics to a song is ready on paper. At that moment the ready product is clear sounding in my head. I know exactly how it will sound.

Next step is to plug in guitars, keyboards into the amps and computer, in hope to get a demo recording of the tune. A job that´l take hours! At last everything seams to be fair enough to use when I realise that I have to do it all over. Maybe I missed a chord somewhere or played a faulty note in a solo sequense.

A couple of days later the demo is redy to be used. Now its time to use a microphone and sing the best I can do. A couple of channels will be used for the vocals and in app 90% those channels will not sound at all like the tune in my head. Do it again....

And so it goes on and on until I finally give it all up realising that I cant sing the way I want to!

The Epiphone ES-175 guitar seams to be getting used to its new owner, and with that starting to sound just the way I hoped it should. Well with only two humbucking microphones I thought it might give even better sound with an extra microphone so such an item was installed. Next on cue is to give the guitar a Bigsby tremolo unit.

The progress of my band is going on furter. One out of hopefully three female lead singers have been found and she may be occupied in singing some kind of karioke at her home with the recorded song as background.

An adwert for an old Kenwood reciever at zero cost made me jump and call the owner who was actually an old freind of mine. Leaving His place with the Kenwood He also did agree to play the drums in the band....great.

New songs - new toys

I happens all the time, often in the car where suddenly the perfect first line in a song lyric suddenly appers in my mind. If I at this very moment dont have pen and paper, the perfect words for the perfect songlyrics dissapers in a flash.

Luck for me I sometimes remember those word long enough so I can write em down. This happens all the time, so a couple of day ago I found me self thinking about a simple singel word and its real meaning. The word was one often used in lyrics and in real life.

FOREVER

Arriving back home it took me less then an hour to write the lyrics for a song down on a blank piece of paper. A couple of hours later there was even a melody. This particular song has now left its piece of paper and been recorded as some kind of demo. With that I usually listen to it and in a couple of days or years finds the final solution on how I want it to sound.

Yesterday yet another lyrics was written and soon recorded. Only to find out that the lyrics was great but the music wasnt worth listening to at all. So during the upcoming days I have to find some new music that will suit this lyric.

One way to get in to the right mood for playing music or writing new songs is to ad a new gadget to the collection. At a wistit to my local musicshop "JAM" I suddenly became owner of some electronic gadgets. An electronic gadget that would make my guitars sound in a million different ways. Distortion, reverb, Echo and all the other normal sounds could be added. The fact that it was given to me, was mainly caused by the way it looked. Almost as if was hit hard with a sledgehammer och a big truck. plugged in it still worked perfectly. To be frank I dont like those guitargadgets that much, mainly because it take to much time to make em work the way I want it to.

Leaving the musicshop I realised that they sold a Telecaster and did get a ES-175 as part exchange. Hmmm I really like the design of those guitars. It all lead to this morning when I took my Ibanez Artcore and made a swop to the ES-175.

Two new gadgets, hopefully they will help me to write some new songs....
