Ah right, I'm back! :D Ready for whatever song you throw at me next, I'll give it a try
Keep On Rockin' |
Ok, next song is "Win Or Lose". Its about how the outcome of things in life don't matter, its what you do. Here's what I've got:
I can't hold on Cause I know that I'll break I've got nothing left Left for you to take You can hope You can pray But in the end, it doesn't matter Cause all the good things have to change It doesn't matter if you Win Or Lose Its how you play the game What'dya think? Adrian |
Here's the whole chorus to Win Or Lose:
You can hope You can pray But in the end, it doesn't matter Cause all the good things have to change It doesn't matter if you Win Or Lose Its how you play the game All you try It doesn't matter what you do Its how you play the game Not if you Win Or Lose What do you guys think? Adrian |
gues sim a bit late on this one but i play guitar, bass, a bit of singing, keyboards, drums, piano, flute and percussion so i'm sure u can find a space for me :D
it's too late for me to remember any of my songs and lyrics off the top of my head since i only do backing vox for my band but not being big headed about it i can write a hook and a chorus with the best of them. |

Just thought I'd compile our two finished songs so far:
Back Into Dry County Lyrics by The Walrus and 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'll Do Anything For You Lyrics by The Walrus and 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 Comments welcome!

r u guys actually writing songs for this?
i'll stick up the lyrics for the thing ive got kicking around regarding barry white dying and a couple of other ideas when i get it all down tomorrow hopefully. |
Quote:
it doesnt scan..... the obnly way i can see of it getting more closely scanning is below but then i think its losing some of the meaning... which is also a bad thing.... tricky... You can hope You can pray But all 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 of course... ive put a bit of a tune to it as well cause thats how i work, but in terms of scanning thats better (feel free to discard) but it might change some of the original sentiment..... i dunno...... /me doesnt really like to comment... sara |

it is there.... it was just a couple of lines down to emphasise the brak i hear it with when i oplay it in my head, but should only have been one line not two...
it works but id need to post the composition up to get it across fully... kinda along the same lines as the "damn................. misunderstood" on misunderstood, but not like that if you get me... same concept... grrr me is probably confusing more than explaining... |
Oops. Sorry! :D
Adrian |
no probs! what do you think to that as an idea tho???
good?? bad??? |
GOOD idea! Now we need some more verses for it. hmmm....I'll work on this...
Adrian |
how can the 2 of u write a song with no shared idea of a top line melody, key or rythmn?
dunno i was just reading over that and couldnt think of a rythmn to go with it so r u 2 just coming up with lyrics and making ur own interpretations of it or what? |
Pretty much.... Lyrics first you know. Might not be brilliant, but it can be done
BTW, you two seem to be working well here so I'm gonna take a backseat on this one, unless you get stcuk and need me to save your asses once again! :wink: Keep On Rockin' |
i guess in the same way kinda that other songwriting partnerships work.... just slightly more convoluted...
its the first time ive done it this way.. but for me i hear the song as i write it- hense it fits to my tune, but when i was parsing lyrics etc, i look for things like the meter (be it iambic quatramic or pentamic) and see if whts therefits into it,and other things like that... the kinda thing you learn from grade 7 music theory :S |
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 Win Or Lose It doesn't matter Right here right now Not what comes after What do you guys think? Adrian |

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 Win Or Lose It doesn't matter Right here right now Not what comes after (chorus) You can hope You can pray But all good things have to change It doesn't matter if you Win Or Lose Its how you play the game All you try and all you say It doesn't matter what you do (stretched out) Its how you play the game... Not if you Win Or Lose Well folks, there it is, the first verse and chorus of Win Or Lose. Allmike:What do you think its missing? Adrian |
Quote:

i like it Adrian
|
Thanks Jess and Allmike! The song is far from finished (tawtami, where are you?) and I'm having some problems writing verses for it. The chorus is in second or third person, and my natural instinct is to write the verses in first, so its a little harder than usual. Walrus, got any comments?
Adrian |
i am here... just mildly distracted at the moment...
its late now and i need to get to bed so ill have a look in the mornign... but ill have a play as i have some free time... how do you envisage melody? jyst so i can like have a mental pic... sara |
Adrian, I think that you need to get over your thing of using the title in the verses and the chorus- don't use Win Or Lose in the first verse as well as the chorus. The chorus is much better now, although I'm thinking that there's nothing all that special about it.... the first verse needs a bit of work. I also think that this song has great potential, do me proud guys!
Also Adrian, I've come up for a really interesting idea for a project that I want to work on with you, and I'll give you the details as soon as I fine tune it a little.... but it will be very cool 8) Keep On Rockin' |
Tawtami:I picture this to be a hard, pounding rock song. Real hard. Though if that doesn't appeal to you, feel free to change that. Harder than HMU is what I have in mind.
Walrus:What's this project? Are we going to write for an actual musician? Adrian |
Quote:
winner not always win losser not always lose. |
cool, thanks for that- info much appreciated and useful... im gonna play around with itas i wait for exposed (one of my ballads) to upload - btw, if anyone wants it pm me...
can reveal a bit about the distractions now.... basically, we ve got a provisional date to do some recording that should work for the duo im half of... its nice cause we have complete control cause were basically borrowing the three pieces of equipment we dont currntly own to do it... also have had a spate of new songs arrive for me cause of stuff thats happened with being ill.... (if i get round to recording at some point, i could use some muso's who'd be up for it... ) anyone interested.. it will prolly be next summer i guess as people tend to be free in summer... so yeah all of that tied up with hospital visits etc, but im back now... for a while anyhow... however- i do go away next saturday morning for a week.. and then im house sitting but am v close to uni so have got a 5 meg pipe with noone on it down the road :D so will be around mainly daytimes, as opposed to now when am at home and on at night so yeah... ill come back in a lil while to see whats what...hopefully with new thing.. amn keeping track of all sugestions... sara |
k, have taken the title out of the first verse and replaced that and changed a couple of words in other places to make it scan.
the chorus's look has changed slightly but only that - that was just a personal thingy as to how im hearing it at the moment. feel free to put it back... i dunno what do people think? sara x ------------------- 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 (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... (stretched last syllable and slight break) Not if you Win Or Lose |
Well, I wrote the end of the song:
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 Tawtami:I'd like to go back a bit on my hard rock song description. Picture crossing Undivided or Hey God with The Distance. Something with heavy guitar and drums, but slower sounding verses, then soaring choruses. That's what I imagine. Adrian |
Great work guys. :P
So walrus what is the big suspense?. |
thats fine with me!!!!
thats actually how id heard it to start with which was why the choruses were laid out how they were.... and yeah i can hear that working....well... :) |
If more people would have joind this group, we would have great team. :D
|
How bout this as the last bit in the first verse?
Not all winners win And not all losers lose Sometimes it'll be hard But the price to win is truth And here's another bit: It won't help to complain Our words are all in vain Just try and remember The only thing that's up to you Is how you play the game What do you guys think? Adrian |
Also, if we don't have a lead singer, you guys might want to try asking Iceman to take a look at what we've got. He'd be great!
