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

Last time I thought it was over
Thought I was done
I knew it was the end
But the feeling's gone
And I've been numb so long
Didn't think I'd ever feel like this again
Today is different
Now I feel so new
Didn't think anyone
Could me me feel the way I do
Can you...

Wake Me Up
And open my eyes
Wake Me Up
Can you teach me how to fly
So I can leave this all behind
Wake Me Up
And show me how to feel alive
Can you Wake Me Up

How did we get where we are today
I have no past beyond right now
But my future is clear
I lived my life in the dark
And now that you're here
I can see I've got nothing to fear

Wake Me Up
And open my eyes
Wake Me Up
Can you teach me how to fly
So I can leave this all behind
Wake Me Up
And show me how to feel alive
Can you Wake Me Up

This is what I've got so far. Any comments/criticisms/revisions? Anyone want to help?

Tawtami:How's the recording coming? Have any songs done yet?

Wild X Wind:We might've discussed this before, but could you do highway signs? The green highway signs that say stuff like "Milkwaukee 1 Mile?" One of those saying something similar about Dry County would be really cool!

Adrian

yes! i'd completely forgotten about that. i remember trying it a couple of times and it didn't work out the way i wanted it to, but i can give it another go, no problem.

i told you, summer finished and we couldnt even record the half-made song we had.

Same here and still there is no news from Tawtami about when she actually gonna start recording. Well i'm not even see her on msn for long time.

Yeah... you were right, Arash... I wish we'd at least get a note every once and a while from Tawtami, so she could tell us if there's any progress. The last time she posted she said she was recording some of her stuff and working on some of ours...I'd like to think that at some point in the future she'll pop on and tell us if there's anything new to report, maybe a few demos or something.

Adrian

okay: well here's the update.

firstly, due to random things happening ive ended up working 40 hour weeks for most of the summer, which to be honest has sucked. Three weeks ago; my HDD died a horrible death, losing everything. Last weekend I *finally* got my stuff over and done with- i rushed it through in a day and it sucks to be perfectly honest, (though if anyone wants to hear it then PM me.. ) The DC stuff, fortunately i had the sense to do on audio tape; next week im back at uni, so work is less and as soon as i get the one lead im missing i can get on and get it onto HDD. Im really sorry for delaying everything, and i feel really crap about it- id totally understand if you guys want to replace me and stuff... i feel like ive let people down and i dont like that.

im sorry.

sara

Sorry to hear about all Sara, we never really said we want to replace or even thought about it. Well just hoping that ur able to sort out everything , so we can have some songs recording soon.

As a way of forcing myself to write, I vowed I wasn't going to post till I'd finished WMU. However, that could be construed as kinda rude, since Tawtami came back. Sorry.

Glad you're back! I'm glad to hear that some DC stuff has been recorded. I look forward to hearing it. About replacing you, we wouldn't do that! Don't worry about it! IMO, every band member is irreplaceable.

I'll finish the song soon, I promise.

The last time, I thought it was over
That's it, and I was done
Back then I knew it was the end
But now the feeling's gone
Oh, and I've been numb so long
Didn't think I could ever feel like this again
Today is different
Now I feel so new
Didn't think anyone
Could make me feel the way I do
Can you...

Wake Me Up
And open my eyes
Wake Me Up
Can you teach me how to fly
So I can leave this all behind
Wake Me Up
And show me how to feel alive
Can you Wake Me Up

What happened to get us here today
Past is cloudy beyond right now
But for once my future is clear
I lived my life in the void
And now that you're here
I can see I've got nothing to fear
It all came unravelled
Now I feel so new
So wind the thread tightly
Give me my chance renewed
Can you...

Wake Me Up
And open my eyes
Wake Me Up
Can you teach me how to fly
So I can leave this all behind
Wake Me Up
And show me how to feel alive
Can you Wake Me Up

For all the times I lost my way
And all the times I thought I'd gone
And now for every time delay
The three hands must march on
And it's for you I'll always pray
To take me out of wrong
To a place that I belong.....



Don't know what you think of that, I just thought I'd have a go with like the first things that came into my head. Amended the stuff you've already written a tad, but if you don't like it, that's quite alright

Keep On Rockin'

Glad you're back, Walrus!

Your additions are great, check out what I've tweaked/added, let me know what you think.

second chorus
Wake Me Up
And open my eyes
Wake Me Up
Can you teach me how to fly
So I can leave this all behind
Wake Me Up
And show me how to feel alive
Can you Wake Me Up

For all the times I lost my way
And all the times I thought I'd gone
The three hands must march on
And it's for you I'll always pray
To take me out of all that's wrong
Find a better place for us
A place where we belong.....

drum solo(let's give Jim something really fun to do on this one)

Show me how to feel again
Show me how to dream again
Show me how to love again
All my life is new
Can you...

Wake Me Up
And open my eyes
Wake Me Up
Can you teach me how to fly
So I can leave this all behind
Wake Me Up
And show me how to feel alive
Can you Wake Me Up

Like it? Comments? Criticism? Feel free to tweak, redo, etc and so forth. I think it needs an extended final chorus, or something else after the last one. Another few lines or something. Something different. I'm not sure what though.

Did you like the other songs I'd written in your absense?
