Description

This is just a little something inbetween...
As a friend of mine used to say: 'You can only have regrets on the things you DIDN'T do.' Well, I'm uploading this song with this philosophy in mind.

I've never sang a rock song before, so this is my very first attempt... I really digged DirtyWinston's track called 'PASTA' (http://www.macjams.com/song/21680), and considering the song being an 'open collaboration', I decided to give it a go.

Well anyway, I had lots of fun putting some vocals on DirtyWinston's track. He has heard the result and said he liked it. But I guess he's just a friendly and polite guy...

UPDATE: There is now also AquilA's contribution to the song with a sreaming lead guitar after the bridge! You find it here: http://www.macjams.com/song/22093

UPDATE: OK, OK, too many insisting and this poor man surrenders. Yes, I've typed out the lyrics. Happy now? :-)

Lyrics

Girl, I like your face,
your lazy hair, your eyes full of hunger.
I wondered if we could share
a double room, a single night.

I know it's not polite,
but do you min me asking one favour.
After you disappear,
do tell the world I wasn't here

Girl you're so nice to cover my lies.
You've never seen, and I've never been.
We never came, it's only a game.

Girl, now I'm in your spell.
It wasn't planned, not meant that it happened.
Tell me it's just a dream,
it's in my mind, it's in my mind.

Feels like an agony,
but I am sure it soon will be over.
After you disappear,
just tell the world I wasn't here.

Girl you're so nice to cover my lies.
You've never seen, and I've never been.
We never came, it's only a game.

Girl, I like your face,
but your charm is not in place.

Feels like an agony,
but I am sure it soon will be over.
After you disappear,
just tell the world I wasn't here.

Girl you're so nice to cover my lies.
You've never seen, and I've never been.
We never came, it's only a game.

	yeah I can dig this. The pasta track from DirtyWinston is a great one. Great guitars, drums, bass and overall pro performed. Your vocals on this is just perfect Moorlandt. Cool rockin' feel to it. Maybe you could post the lyrics? Good job:) Check out my latest song called Don't tell me what I can't w/KTB and Ingve

	Dude!!! Your voice is classic goth! A beuatiful mix between light edge Nephilim, Red Lorry Yellow Lorry and some weird sort of Electric Prunes or something... I sooo dig it! And that funky swing on the guitar track adds to it soo much, a wonderful cross genre blend to my ears! Adding to faves! Awesome!

	U Rock!! Pro-sound, U Rock! Love your singing and smooth transitions. I do hear a bit of David Bowie type style but like yours much better. It just feels stronger. Thanks for sharing, Annaia p.s. when song finished, it left me wanting more. Check out my latest song called freakshow

moorlandt	moorlandt said 1255 days ago (June 21st, 2006)
	U Rock!! Hey Analia, you're already the second person comparing me to Bowie. Even stronger than Bowie? I don't know what to say to this. I guess you made my day. No, my week... my year I mean!

	Rocks You ought to sing more, bro', a lot more. I thought it was a little odd when you were harmonizing with yourself. Might want someone else to help on that but it was cool when you were doing the vocal unisons. Overall, the tune rocks but what I'm hearing mostly is a singer coming out of the cave. Welcome to the world! Check out my latest song called It's For You w/Mystery Lady

moorlandt	moorlandt said 1255 days ago (June 21st, 2006)
	Rocks Well, thanks Alan for calling me a caveman! But I think I understand what you mean here. I might do some more rock songs in the future, but I'll always keep doing some intimite and minimalistic tracks as well... Je suis é l a s t i q u e ... Walter --- Logic takes you from a to b.

Macaudion said 1255 days ago (June 20th, 2006)

My first thought was
I wanted a bunch more like this so that the gruuv would last for a long
trip -- Even though it has lots of cool and interesting change ups, I still
wanted many more versions of it - Love the Retro vibe hanging out in
this - Totally diggn' the vocals - Very hip - I REALLY like the guitar
work on this tune - Great structure - Very solid piece of work here
guys - Tight! - Thanks -- Dion

	Good Collab Nice job on the vocals, Walter. I did like it, and I am not really friendly and polite. A screaming guitar solo would be nice, just don't ask Alan Fraser, thanks. Fine job. Hurley "Dirty" Winston Check out my latest song called Highlands

moorlandt	moorlandt said 1255 days ago (June 21st, 2006)
	Good Collab Thanks Hurley. I would never have dared composing a rock song myself. You just gave me the most solid base I could dream of. Next time it's in French (gosh, did I really promise that?). You'll have a big laughter. Walter --- Logic takes you from a to b. Imagination takes you everywhere. Check out my latest song called boundaries

Ed Hannifin said 1255 days ago (June 21st, 2006)

Cool. My favorite parts...
...are the vocals, of course...Good rock 'n roll voice...echoes of mid-
period Bowie...

AND the drumming and rhythm guitars, which work together really
well.

No excuses, though; gotta put the lyrics up.

Can really hear that spot that could use a touch of lead guitar. That
would be frosting on what's already a really tasty cake.

Great collab, gents...

Cool. My favorite parts...
Thanks so much for your comments, Ed.
Yeah the lyrics... I must confess I did ths whole thing (lyrics writing + recording) in something less than 2,5 hours, so you can easily imagine that those lyrics are no top poetry. Well, maybe I'll post them one day when I'm real drunk or something :-)

	said 1254 days ago (June 21st, 2006)
	Real deal Pretty cool song. Your voice is right for this. Just enough pathos without being too overwrought. Maybe a little less reverb on your voice. I have the sense of the chorused voices losing a bit of energy or "buzz" at times -- drops in volume and gets a bit muffled in sections. Not sure if I explained that right. The instrumentation is very good. Sounds like the real deal.

moorlandt	moorlandt said 1254 days ago (June 22nd, 2006)
	Real deal I think I understand what you mean, Richard. But it was my intention to make the chorus quite different to the verses. Maybe I should have put the vocal volume a bit up in the chorus...

	Always cool to hear some new stuff from you Thanks for commenting and faving, Luis. Always nice to hearing from you. Well yes, I'm trying out some different styles. And there are some new ones on their way (through a couple of collabs I did recently). Cheers and keep well! Walter --- Logic takes you from a to b. Imagination takes you everywhere.

Look at You!
You're a closet rocker, Walter.

You're doing some amazing stuff lately, Dirty Winston's music is great
and you've come up with a really cool set of lyrics (though you won't
type them out, I listened closely. I love that "I wonder if we could share
a double room, a single life," and I really like the way you sang "favor."

Your voice sounds terrific, I love the production. Is it my imagination or
did you cut the reverb back on your voice some from what you usually
do? It sounds great.

I seriously dig this. I've listened three times already. I think I might
wear out this track.

moorlandt said 1253 days ago (June 22nd, 2006)

Look at You!
Please don't wear it out Lisa, at least not while it's still in the picks :-)
Thanks again for your lovely comments. BTW: it's 'a single night', but I guess 'a single life' would have been more poetic.
I'm a bit confused about this reverb thing. If you point at 'Waiting again', there was no reverb used at all. Maybe it sounded that way, I don't know...
Whatever, I'm so glad you liked it. And hurry up with these other collabs, because I will be knocking on your door soon :-)

Boris the Bull

Boris the Bull said 1252 days ago (June 23rd, 2006)

thoughts from the bull...
you've got such a fabulous vocal approach, that it may just be possible
you can sing along to just about anything! seriously!

there's not much more i can add that hasn't been said, except that
musically, this is a fairly simple sounding, yet very complex piece.
playng along with it would be tremendously difficult. adding vocals
would seem near to impossible.

i can't express how impressed i am with this. absolutely terrific job!

thanks, as always!!!
