Collab - I Will Follow You Into The Dark (Cover)
---
The Story -
Main Vocals - Ray
Main Guitar - Ray
Intro Guitar - Chris
Backing Vocals - Chris
Strings - Chris
This cover of Death Cab For Cutie's "I Will Follow You Into The Dark," was a pleasure to work on. As you might have guessed from the credits above, it was work done by Ray and myself. It's far from perfect, but I think it's an okay interpretation of the original song. I like how it sounds full and thick because of the combination of vocals and strings, without being too heavy (in my opinion).
As usual, any thoughts on the matter are certainly appreciated.
---
Some technical bits:
The backing vocals were created by a combination of singing fairly high, compression, and chorus. Wewt. The strings were composed using my midi controller. All the levels and such were managed in Garage Band. If the song sounds too quiet...TURN IT UP!
Random Side Note - I was randomly coming up with band names, and "RC Magnificent" just sort of came to me. That's probably why I shouldn't come up with band names: that's terrible (and it sounds like a low-grade rap group that addresses issues of remote controlled vehicles. lol.)

The Great "Paul" Debate
I have something to confess. I've got GAS. I don't mean the smelly kind, I mean Guitar Acquisition Syndrome. I've learned a lot about my own likes, dislikes, and tastes (as far as guitar is concerned) in the last year, and I'm ready to move on to a guitar that is more, "practical." For example, I'm more than a little fed up with the V-shape of my current guitar. Not only that, but the bridge (a Floyd Rose tremolo) is not something I want in my next guitar. My musical tastes have definitely changed (not into metal quite so much), and this has left me in an interesting position. I've recently become enamored with the "Les Paul" body shape, and while aesthetics alone are NOT justification for purchasing a guitar (read: learned that one the hard way), there are so many choices on the market to compare and contrast, I'm bound to end up a winner if I do my research. What follows will be an unadulterated look into what I plan to purchase, a gigantic "compare and contrast." Enjoy.
---
The Obvious (and boring) Choice: Epiphone Les Paul Standard
Pros - It comes in a lot of colors.
Cons - Quality control seems spotty. It's an "over-played" guitar, 22 frets.
Price - $549, from Musiciansfriend.com
The Sadly Discontinued Choice: Yamaha AES 620
Pros - Great features, highly reviewed, all-around good guitar.
Cons - Only available second hand, purchasing price and quality might vary greatly. 22 frets.
Price - Variable.
The "Swede-ish" Choice: Hagstrom Ultra Swede
Pros - Good feature list, seemingly high reviews
Cons - I've NEVER seen one in a store, and I've never had the chance to play test one. 22 frets.
Price - $370
The Curvy Choice: Dean Cadillac
Pros - Interesting shape, Dean has a seemingly good reputation
Cons - 22 frets, Dean also has a lot of "rabid fanboys." Reviews on MF seemed to smack of quality control issues. This is another guitar I've NEVER seen in stores.
Price - $600
The "art-sy" Choice /rimshot - Ibanez ART300
Pros - I've been able to find this one in stores. I liked the unique top on this one.
Cons - 22 frets. Not sure about the Ibanez active pick-ups. Also, Ibanez is another one of those companies with a fairly rabid fan-base.
Price - $380
The One That I Was Seriously Considering: Washburn WI64
Pros - This guitar has enjoyed very high reviews, and has great features considering the price. Buzz-Feiten tuning (something no other guitar in this price range has), and good upper-fret access (from what I've seen).
Cons - 22 frets, I'm not sure about the VCC (Voice Contour Control), it's basically Washburn's proprietary coil-tap technology (to allow a guitar to achieve single-coil and humbucking sounds), but I want to test it. Never seen this guitar in a store. I don't like the shape as much as the others.
Price - $370
The Obviously Imported Choice - Agile Al-300/3500
Pros - This guitar is listed as a lot of "bang for your buck" on several websites, and it looks downright sexy in black with gold hardware. Ebony fretboard (a feature not normally found on guitars in this price range).
Cons - Looks VERY similar to the Epiphone, 22 frets. Has a 30-day satisfaction guarantee, but you can only import then from Korea. The 3000 line seems to have been discontinued, meaning you can now only buy it second-hand.
Price - Variable.
Another Dark Horse - Michael Kelly Patriot
Pros - Supposedly very well-made Korean guitars. Many models have ebony fret-boards, coil-taps, and other cool features.
Cons - Quality control may be spotty, the higher end models are only available with EMGs, 22 frets, I have never seen one in a store.
Price - $400-650, depending on model.
The Most Expensive One So Far - ESP/LTD EC-1000
Pros - It is a very good looking guitar (especially in vintage black), 24 frets, can get ebony fretboard, can get Seymour Duncan pick-ups
Cons - Easily the most expensive of the bunch (so far, dun-dun-dun), what's the point of having 24 frets if you can't reach past 17? Can only get EMGs and ebony fret board, not SD's and an ebony fret board. LTD brands each guitar at the 12th fret with the model name (that REALLY irks me)
Price - $840-880 (!)
The One I Didn't Even Notice Until Recently - Schecter Tempest Custom
Pros - Looks very good in black, some good features (TonePros bridge, Grover tuners), most "different" looking
Cons - Pick-ups are only "Duncan Designed," seems a little pricey for the features, I think someone in Maroon 5 plays this guitar.
Price - $600
I'm Not Sure Why I'm Even Listing This One - PRS SE Single Cut
Pros - Good resale value? Name recognition? Heel isn't as HUGE as it is on the double-cuts? A few of the finishes look nice.
Cons - It seems too expensive for the price. It seems to be a brand people flock to for the name, even though better-made, less expensive instruments are available.
Price - $600
EDIT EDIT EDIT
The Guitar I Forgot - Fernades Ravelle
Pros - Distinctive body shape (in this case, a good thing), several different models with various prices, cool colors (at the "Elite" level, anyway), Fernandes sustainer and Seymour Duncan pick-up.
Cons - The Elite model is expensive, there are no dealers in the immediate area (meaning no try-before-you-buy), there are not as many reviews available, and the features do not seem to match up with the price.
Price - ~$750-950 (Elite Model...why it pays to shop around)
The Truly Imported Model - Edwards LP Standard
No Image Available. (Just imagine a Les Paul that says "Edwards" on the headstock; see above.)
What is it? - It's basically a Les Paul copy made by a Japanese arm of the guitar company ESP.
Pros - It's a Les Paul without being a generic Les Paul. It is supposed to have that "magic" Japanese craftsmanship.
Cons - Since it was meant for the Japanese market, shipping will be ridiculous. There is absolutely NO try-before-you-buy with this guitar.
Price - Variable
One More For Good Measure - Ibanez Iceman ICT700
Pros - It's another looker of a guitar. I mistakenly thought that this guitar had a tremolo, when in fact it is a fixed bridge design. 24 frets (you can actually reach).
Cons - Kind of expensive. More of a "metal" guitar. Reverse headstock (I find them irritating, honestly). Have yet to see one in a store to try.
Price - $700
---
Did anyone else find it odd how there are so many "Les Paul" style guitars on the market? This little comparison only scratched the surface...I didn't touch on high or lower end models. I wonder why the shape has endured for as long as it has?

Ramblin' Man
Note - I didn't find this out until after the song, but apparently the Allman Brothers' Band has a song called "Ramblin' Man." It's apparently pretty famous too...but this song is of no relation.
---
Chorus -
Ramblin' Man
Ramblin' Man
I will wonder this earth
For as long as I can
The Lyrics -
Please don't come a lookin'
'Cuz I promise you won't find
Me beneath the covers
Of my worn and weary mind
I've been searchin' high and low
Waste away the time
Spent it all on promises
I just can't leave behind
[chorus]
No man on this earth
Can turn away the tide
For every one that's walked this land
A thousand more have died
If the wind starts callin' you
Don't reach your hands up high
For no matter what you do
You'll never hold the sky
[chorus]
I'm wonderin' on
Catch me if you can.
---
The Story -
There's been more than a few times in my life that I've wanted to be someone else. There've been times when I wanted to wander, and not look back. There've been times when I knew, without a doubt, that I could leave everything I've had behind. This song, then, is two things. It's a musical manifestation of that feeling, and in some sense, it's my attempt to exorcise that feeling.
I've been focusing on keeping my songs short (or at least on the short side), interesting, and emotionally packed. I dunno if this means my sound is more "main-stream" or what-have-you, but at the very least, I can say that I'm relatively satisfied with how this song came out. I pushed the song through production, and I think the levels are pretty bad, but that's something I might go back and look at later (i.e. remaster the song).
Recently I've had this really bad habit of coming up with a riff, or the start of a song, or an intro, and not following through on the idea. Part of that has to do with my class schedule, and part of it has to do with a slight lack of motivation on my part. All I can say is this - I'm working on it. Once school lets out for a few days between Summer Sessions, I'll see if I can pump out another song or two (or three, or whatever).
Interesting quote of the moment -
"God made me atheist. Who are you to judge his wisdom?"

Wayfaring Stranger (Cover)
---
The Lyrics
I'M JUST A POOR
WAYFARING STRANGER
TRAVELING THROUGH
HIS WORLD BELOW
THERE IS NO SICKNESS
NO TOIL, NOR DANGER
IN THAT BRIGHT LAND
TO WHICH I GO
I'M GOING THERE
TO SEE MY FATHER
AND ALL MY LOVED ONES
WHO'VE GONE ON
I'M JUST GOING OVER JORDAN
I'M JUST GOING OVER HOME
I KNOW DARK CLOUDS
WILL GATHER ROUND ME
I KNOW MY WAY
IS HARD AND STEEP
BUT BEAUTEOUS FIELDS
ARISE BEFORE ME
WHERE GOD REDEEMS
THEIR VIGALS KEEP
I'M GOING BACK
TO SEE MY MOTHER
SHE SAID SHE'D MEET ME
WHEN I COME
SO I'M JUST GOING OVER JORDAN
I'M JUST GOING OVER HOME
I'M JUST GOING OVER JORDAN
(I didn't mean for the lyrics to be in all caps - the website I copied and pasted from sort of exploded.)
---
Some Thoughts -
This is a cover version of "Wayfaring Stranger," by Johnny Cash. Though this is actually an American folk song, I attribute it to Johnny Cash because his version was the one that inspired me to do this in the first place. I try to match his phrasing and vocal styles to some degree, but I know I don't compare.
There are a lot of reasons to do cover songs - but the reasons that I chose to cover this song is are pretty straight-forward. First, it can be a simple song, meaning it was within my abilities to play. Second, I really liked the melody and the overall message of the song. I have strong feelings that coincide fairly well with the song, and that proved to be a very strong motivation to perform it.
I'd like to think that the song is haunting, but I'm not really holding my breath. The stripped-down nature of the performance is due more to my musical (in)abilities than anything else. Sometimes covers really improve on an original song, but I was more interested in manifesting my emotions.
One final note: the song is sung almost word for word from the Johnny Cash version. There were one or two changes. Some of them were significant, some of them were not. I'm just left to wonder what genre of music I should call this...probably country.

Streetlight Serenade
1000 eyes, 1000 stars
Watch from above
Watch from afar
Forced outside my ring
The shadows slowly dance
As the street-light softly sings
Time slips away with a feeble yawn
No one the wiser
As he rouses the dawn.
I wait, impatiently, for signs of the light
Twisted and hungry
With only dreams and eyelids to fight
Then a flash, a firefly's haze
Shadows torn open
By a headlight's gaze
Stunned, I smile and reach out a hand
Quivering, but happy,
Wind at my feet, ground in my hair, and -
The headlights roll on.
I am left waiting
For morning to come.

Watch from above

Twisted and hungry
With only dreams and eyelids to fight

Shadows torn open

Stunned, I smile and reach out a hand
Quivering, but happy,
Wind at my feet, ground in my hair, and -
The headlights roll on.

(Low-Down, Up-Town) Leavin' Blues
"Final Version"
"Rough Version"
The Story:
This is a bit of an interesting one, because as you may have noticed, there are two audio files to chose from. I'm doing something I normally wouldn't with this post by including a "rough draft," of sorts to what I am considering the final work. There are a bunch of reasons to consider it a rough draft. 1) It was done when I had a cold. 2) It was done without a pop filter. 3) Some parts of it just sound bad. 4) The lyrics have been somewhat revised in the final version. I hope to show that there is a difference between the rough draft (kind of like the "demo" of the song) and the final product. I've generally spent more time writing and performing than balancing the levels of my tunes, butu even in the short time I spent on these two versions, I feel there is a noticeable difference in quality.
The other thing that I'd like to point out is that it contains a chorus, verse, middle solo, and end solo. Normally I wouldn't jump right into the lyrics, but I think it worked out alright for this song. There are still definitely points where I am unhappy either with the guitar or the vocals, and the drum track is completely one-dimensional (it is literally just one loop), but I think this is an improvement on my previous works and ideas. It seems to me the best way to improve as a singer, song-writer, or guitarist is to try things to see what does and does not work...or get lessons. Whatever comes first, right?
The Lyrics: (Chord Progression: C-F-G)
Chorus:
Low-down up-town leavin' blues
Tell me mama, what can I do?
I don't need no post-man
To tell me the news, I got the
Low-down, up-town leavin' blues
---
Once was a girl
I used to know
She said she loved me but
She had a funny way of showin' it
We'd been together three months
'Til she took a train and a plane
To sip margaritas
In the Spanish rain
I never saw her again
But at least I still have
My money
[Chorus]
Once met a girl from
Foreign lands
With the sweetest smile and
The biggest plans
But when I asked her to take my hand
She up and ran off with a
China man
But at least I still have
My dignity
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Once met a girl with
Her mind all wrong
She would bark like a seagull
And flap like a frog
But when I took her to the farm
To set her free, some one was committed
And hell, it was me
Life sure is hard
Can't get my way
It seems these blues
Are here to stay
But if I save them
For a rainy day
Maybe my ladies will come back
Without delay
(That'll happen.)
[Outro]
---
Edit - I was quite happy receive some feedback on my work today. It was mentioned that I still suffer from vocal inconsistencies, and after listening more closely, I definitely agree. Sometimes it can be easy to get caught up in the moment of song-writing, and not realize a certain section should be revised. In light of these comments, I have produced yet ANOTHER version of the song. I actually recorded it very quickly, so...enjoy!

Mountain

This one is interesting. It started life as a random keyboard riff, and somehow flourished into a full song. My mom ended up liking the beat enough to put it on her iPod as one of her workout songs, and what's more...it has a DRUM SOLO. I've been meaning to put one of those in one of my songs for some time, but I finally did it. Playing a drum solo on a keyboard is actually a lot harder than I thought it would be. I'll definitely take this into account for my next keyboard drum solo. Before I go any further, let me give a few of my "inspirations" for writing this song.
- Jimi Hendrix, "Voodoo Chile"
I had the chorus stuck in my head when I wrote part of the lyrics, even if the melody and the words ended up being (I hope) reasonably different.
- The Theme To Batman (campy 60's version)
There's really no excuse for a horn section that raunchy, but I put it in because it made me smile. It still does...the horns in this song rawk.
- Blue Oyster Cult, "Cities Aflame With Rock and Roll"
This one inspired parts of the solo more than anything. I tried to get a really cool, fast, face-melting guitar solo, but ultimately I fell short of that goal. I'm still fighting on, though.
- The Theme to about any campy cop show ever.
Can't you hear it, lol?
I hope the lyrics were easier to hear this time, but just in case you need them, here they are:
---
1-2-3-4
I was standin' next to a mountain
'Til I tore him down
I was standin' next to a mountain
'Til he went and turned around
Can't stop me now baby
Devil can't drive me down
---
I've said it before, and I'll say it again - this song is proof that I shouldn't quit my day job to become a blues singer.
