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

i can walrus... just message me when you're around...

as for the strings bit... im not sure theyre needed,

partly cause ive switched the rhythm part around a bit (all will be revealed) and partly cause of the instrumentation...
as for the 1st verse being just drums and strings, that will leave it too empty relative to later, but i know how to fix that,

the intro idea is fantastic though... definately go for that!!

one matter that may complicate things ever so slightly is that ill be moving at the end of may- which wont be a huge problem in itself, as im gonna have my pc but not necessarily a connection/fast connection, but if i have all the parts i need by then i can just play around -also i dont know about anyone else but im going into the last stretch at uni...it'll be fine...but i have to balance this out with exams

more on all of that later though...
as i need to get some stuff going on.

I'm glad that we can finally get one complete song soon, i 'm sure as Sara said it would be much easier for other songs to record afterward, only thing is u need to spend some time.

Sometimes its so hard to keep carry on
Sometimes I think I gonna breakdown
All these wounds making me cry alone
All these stains burning me deep inside…..too much.

Time when I try till my strength die off
Time when I cry till all my tears dry out
I had lost faith in my self too may times
I just wanna run away from this grave yard….forever.

Pre chorus:

No morning is coming in my night
No sun is rising in my darkest hour
But I have to hold on; I have to carry on,
I have to live on, nothing but…. on hope.

Chorus:

I’m living on hope
Hope to make tomorrow better day
I’m living on hope
Hope to find another Everest way
When everything turn sore in world
I’m trying all alone just praying hard
When all my spirit washed away, God
I have nothing but live on hope.
Yeah I’m living on hope… living my dream.

Versa 2:

Not many things which I can smile on
Not many nights where I slept carefree
Too many questions putting me puzzle in
Many answers just not there for me to get….to trust.

I’m getting scared by sound of day light
I’m shivering to the worm touch of sun rays.
Nobody knows what my life leading into
Nobody can hold my life from falling apart…only me.
Pre chorus:

No morning is coming in my night
No sun is rising in my darkest hour
But I have to hold on; I have to carry on,
I have to live on, nothing but…. on hope.

Chorus:

I’m living on hope
Hope to make tomorrow better day
I’m living on hope
Hope to find another Everest way
When everything turn sore in world
I’m trying all alone just praying hard
When all my spirit washed away, God
I have nothing but live on hope.
Yeah I’m living on hope… living my dream.

Versa 3:

I’m fighter fighting till my last breath
I’m dreamer dreaming for the glitter day
Someday sun gonna shine, star gonna glow….in my life.
Till hope is alive, I’m gonna live on…..hope of dream.

Chorus:

I’m living on hope
Hope to make tomorrow better day
I’m living on hope
Hope to find another Everest way
When everything turn sore in world
I’m trying all alone just praying hard
When all my spirit washed away, God
I have nothing but live on hope.
Yeah I’m living on hope… living my dream.


Ok, this is Allmike's Living On Hope. Allmike:Please don't take this the wrong way, but I just read through it, and I'm gonna need to change it. A lot. Its way too much like HBT, and there's a lot of phrasing and stuff in it that I'm not quite sure I understand. It'd be great as one of your poems, however I'm not entirely sure I can translate it into a song. The chorus is great, I won't have to change it much, but I'm not certain about the verses. Ultimately, I'd like this one to come out as some kind of rock anthem, a la Living On A Prayer or Hook Me Up. I'll see what I can do.

Walrus? You wanna help? I definitely think I'm gonna need a co-writer for this one (though if you can't or don't want to help on this one, I'll give it a shot).

Adrian

it is doable.... im getting fragments of tune... but it does need some work...
it might be easier for me to play with it and refine after its been songified though? (although feel free to consult or whatever)

As i said before u entitle to make any changes in any of my songs which i post here for a band. :P So if u want to re-write with taking chors then i have no problem with it.

actually.... anyone mind if i have a go at rewording some of it???
it doesnt have to be used... but ive got a coupel of ideas....

Yeah sure go ahead, at the end of the day how it gonna fit into a song is more important then anything else i suppose.

no it isnt.....

but if we want to use it it is important....

Any progress on recording?

Tawtami:If you have any ideas, post 'em! This one has been a little hard for me to work on, I'll probably have something next week, so if you've got anything, we'd be more than happy to read (hear?) it.

I’m living on hope
Hope to make tomorrow better day
I’m living on hope
Hope to find another Everest way
When everything turn sore in world
I’m trying all alone just praying hard
When all my spirit washed away, God
I have nothing but live on hope.
Yeah I’m living on hope… living my dream.

There's the original chorus, here's the new one:

Living On Hope
Tomorrow's gonna be a better day
I know I'm gonna find a better way
I'm all alone in this world
But my spirit's free
I'm Living On Hope
Hope for tomorrow
Just livin' on a dream

Whatdy'all think? Like it?

Adrian
