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

Ok, now to explain my brainstorm...My idea is to call the song "Back". About a guy who left behind a girl he cared about, when he got back, the girl said basically "I knew you cared about me, you came back for me". The guy denies it, and later (the second half of the song) they're broken apart for a long time, and he's saying "I'm going to come back for/to you". What do you guys think? Like the idea?
Prototype chorus for the first half:

Last time you said it I denied
Now I wish I hadn't lied
I came back for you

Changed for the second half:

Last time you said it I denied
Now its truth and not a lie
I'm coming back for you

Like it?

Adrian

I like the idea, bloody brilliant..... I think the actual lyrics need a little work, but it'll come in time

Keep On Rockin'

I'll have some new lyrics for Back on Monday or Tuesday.
Walrus:What do you think needs changing in that song?
Tawtami:On Monday I'll repost all our songs at this time. Having this stuff recorded would be so cool! You're gonna be a star here!

Adrian

Good guys, carry on. :P

Hi:
Well, I've got some new verses, as usual, feel free to offer commentary, critisism, etc.

I remember that night
You told me how much I wanted you
I laughed and said no
How could you see the truth

Then I left
But I came back again
You said I came back for you
I said you were just a friend

It still needs a few verses before the first half is done, but what do you guys think?
Tawtami:I'll post our other songs later today.

Adrian

The sand still haunts me
In every one of my nightmares
Breathing deep I still can taste
That dusty desert air
Would you ever go back into Hell
If you got the chance to leave?
Would you miss the pain
Miss the burnin' heat
Miss the people who can't breathe?
Walking out
It felt so clean
Like coming home
Just like a dream
But I couldn't stay away
I just couldn't stay gone
I left my soul in the fields
Its the place I belong
I'm riding day and night
On these wings of steel
Heading back for my destiny
All I've got are these two wheels
Riding day and night
On wings of steel

(Prechorus)

They wanted our blood for oil
But all that's in the past
I'm stronger now
Now I'm going back

(Chorus)

I'm going
Back Into Dry County
Heading back to the sands
Back Into Dry County
Back to where it all began
(Down in Dry County)
So many looking for a reason to live
Too many finding a reason to die
We gotta hang on
We gotta stay alive
(Down in Dry County)
No use tryin' to pretend
This is where it began
And this is where its gonna end

Countin' every second
Until I reack those fiery gates
Just tryin' to numb myself off so
The pain don't get too great
I know I can't escape it
Gotta burn down there again
Goin' back once more
Burning down the door
Gonna live inside my pain
Missing out
On all my dreams
Because they came up
With this scheme
But now I'm on that road again
I thought I could be strong
But I left my soul in the fields
In the place I belong
I'm paying back my sins
Just to stay alive
Heading back to face my demons
Hoping they'll let me survive
Paying back my sins
To stay alive

(Prechorus)

They wanted our blood for oil
But all that's in the past
I'm stronger now
Now I'm going back

(Chorus)

I'm going
Back Into Dry County
Heading back to the sands
Back Into Dry County
Back to where it all began
(Down in Dry County)
So many looking for a reason to live
Too many finding a reason to die
We gotta hang on
We gotta stay alive
(Down in Dry County)
No use tryin' to pretend
This is where it began
And this is where its gonna end

The howling wind of the desert
Can't match the howling in my mind
I can see the faces, the flames
Sometimes I wish it was me that died
My memories burn me
Every night I lay down to sleep
on the cold, hard ground
You ask why my bed is burning
It was on fire when I layed down

(Prechorus)

They wanted our blood for oil
But all that's in the past
I'm stronger now
Now I'm going back

(Chorus)

I'm going
Back Into Dry County
Heading back to the sands
Back Into Dry County
Back to where it all began
(Down in Dry County)
So many looking for a reason to live
Too many finding a reason to die
We gotta hang on
We gotta stay alive
(Down in Dry County)
No use tryin' to pretend
This is where it began
And this is where its gonna end

(Guitar Solo)

I saw the sign
Dry County limit
Never saw the car
But I felt the hit
Looking up into the sky
Now I know
This is it
And now it makes more sense to me
Finally it all fits
This is it
I'm Back In Dry County

Our first song! I still think its great. What do you think, Tawtami? You eventually want to do this one too? Also, I'll post our last song (I'd Do Anything For You) in a few minutes.

Adrian

Standin' here
Side by side
No one said it's an easy ride
Don't worry, cos I've got your back
Standin' tall
We're still free
Together we'll fight for the dream
One for all
and All for one
And all thats in between
Remember the old days
Shootin the breeze
Not carin' bout right or wrong
Seemed like everything
Was ours for the taking
Guess I should have known all along
This couldn't last forever

Prechorus:

Back then it seemed we were always winning
But now our teams been torn apart
I wish we could go back to the beginning
Can't you take us back to the start?

Chorus:
I swear, as I stand here
I'd Do Anything For You
Cos I know that you'd do the same for me
We can live and die together
But our fight will last forever
If you'll let me
I'll stand with you till the end
Because I call you friend

They say they honor loyalty
It don't look that way to me
But I'm not giving in
I won't let go of what I believe
For all the **** that we been through
I never let 'em change my mind
I'll always be here for you
We'll come through this side by side
I'll Do Anything For You
I remember when you said that to me
The worst day of my life
The day we parted, I lost a part of me

Prechorus:

Back then it seemed we were always winning
But now our teams been torn apart
I wish we could go back to the beginning
Can't you take us back to the start?

Chorus:
I swear, as I stand here
I'd Do Anything For You
Cos I know that you'd do the same for me
We can live and die together
But our fight will last forever
If you'll let me
I'll stand with you till the end
Because I call you friend

I know we're seperated
By time and space, laws and rules
But I swear I'll fight
I'll stand by you
I'd do anything for you
Anything at all
And that's the truth

(Guitar solo)

Its all I can do
I gotta stand by you

Cause when you're loyal to someone...

You can't help it

Prechorus:

Back then it seemed we were always winning
But now our teams been torn apart
I wish we could go back to the beginning
Can't you take us back to the start?

Chorus:
I swear, as I stand here
I'd Do Anything For You
Cos I know that you'd do the same for me
We can live and die together
But our fight will last forever
If you'll let me
I'll stand with you till the end
Because I call you friend

This is I'd Do Anything For You. And in case anyone thinks I'm getting egotistical and posting these as my songs, they wouldn't have been possible without The Walrus. And Tawtami was invaluable in helping with Win Or Lose. Oh, by the way, please feel free to rewrite the two finished songs so they scan. Just notify us if you change anything.

Adrian

eventually id like to have a go at all of them,.. its just having time and finding insopiration

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

They tell us we should give this up
Let all we've fought for fall to the floor
God knows we should be over
But I can't walk through your door

I can't bring myself to let go
And I hope you can't too
This is only gonna get harder for a while
Then it'll all be through

I remember that night
You told me how much I wanted you
I laughed and said no
How could you see the truth

Then I left
But I came back again
You said I came back for you
I said you were just a friend

First half chorus:

Last time you said it I denied
Now I wish I hadn't lied
I came back for you

Second half chorus, reworked:

Last time you said it I denied
Now its truth and not a lie
I'm coming back for you
For all the people I've left behind
I won't let go this time
I'm coming back for you

Well, that's what we've got on the ballad "Back". Anyone want to add anyting to it? Walrus? What does everyone think?

I've also starting my solo writing, and its coming along great! I've got 2 songs almost finished that I'll post sometime in the near future. One of them I think could be one of my best songs ever, its a rock ballad called "I'm Not There For You". I've also got a rather vengeful, political song in the works called "Someone's Son".

Walrus:You read my last PM yet? If so, what do you think?

Well, lets get back to work on "Back"....
