Making of Band 'DC'...........one year on the line.......

I'll remember u. :P

Here it is folks!

Win Or Lose

You want to know how to live?
The future's so far away
I've got these words for you
Try to live in today
whats to come
It doesn't matter
Right here right now
Not what comes after
Not all winners win
And not all losers lose
Sometimes it'll be hard
But the price to win is truth

(chorus)

You can hope
You can pray
But all the good things
Have to change
It doesn't matter if you Win Or Lose
Its how you
play the game today
All you try
and all you say
It doesn't matter what you do
Its how you play the game...
Not if you Win Or Lose

This has never been a game
Yet it always is
You better play it hard
Its all you get
All the pain you're going through
It doesn't matter in the end
If you get knocked down
Do you get back up again?

(chorus)

You can hope
You can pray
But all the good things
Have to change
It doesn't matter if you Win Or Lose
Its how you
play the game today
All you try
and all you say
It doesn't matter what you do
Its how you play the game...
Not if you Win Or Lose

You want to know how to live?
I've got these words for you
I know it'll be hard
But sometimes the price to win is truth

(chorus)

You can hope
You can pray
But all the good things
Have to change
It doesn't matter if you Win Or Lose
Its how you
play the game today
All you try
and all you say
It doesn't matter what you do
Its how you play the game...
Not if you Win Or Lose

(solo)

All the struggle
All your pain
Don't you think
It was in vain
When all of this is though
It doesn't matter if you Win Or Lose
Its how you've played the game

What do you guys think? Personally, I like it. If this is the final version of Win Or Lose, what do we do next?

Adrian

I like, good work Adrian. So any thought about new songs?.

Yeah, I was thinking of the big ballad for the CD. Something in a Meat Loaf vein, but still sticking true to BJ style music. I've already got a few verses, tell me what you think:

Shoulda seen it coming
Shoulda seen the end that was near
Now it seems like we haven't talked
For what seems like a year

Now she's in my life
I should just walk away
But something in my heart
Something in your eyes
Tells me I need to stay

What do you think? Its another song about holding on when the going's tough.

Adrian

not bad, firste verse seems like it's rhyming for the sake of it though. don't use 'seem(s)' on consecutive lines either. part from that, looking good.

Hey, you guys CAN write songs without me Good job guys... I especially like that it doesn't end with the chorus

Keep On Rockin'

Walrus! You're back! Think we could get your help for the big ballad? Not that we can't write without you, we'd just like your help. Tawtami: do you think you could scan the second to last and last verse for us?

Adrian

I can indeed help, although I really don't like either of those verses you put up there... nothing personal mind, I just don't think they work. I think its usually a good idea to come up with the title first, but hey, I'll work backwards if thats the way you wanna play it! I'll have a little think and get back to ya. By the way Adrian, what do you think about starting the SECRET project I mentioned to you reasonably soon?

Keep On Rockin'

Now we get good song for sure.

hey... im housesitting at the moment, so little access to net, and also a big week- hospital appointment to discover what is wrong with me (best case scenario is that of benign growths, worsat case is full blown cancer :S) and a resit on friday so after then i go home and will be around a lot more, but sure ill have a look for ya, and i can kinda give a hand on the ballad if you let me know what it is you want me to convey... i hope to have a recording thingy set up soon though so i can record how i envisage these songs being played (albeit with just me and my acoustic... but its enough for an idea... ).

and yeah, i agree, second verses suck!!!!


hope youre all doing okay- ill print out the page as soon as i get to uni and have a butchers
