Title: Back to the Breeze (new song)
Post by: NoelleNC on July 19, 2007, 04:10:56 pm
Well I didn't think I would, but I wrote another new song yesterday. I am still sort of learning it, so this recording isn't as polished as I'd like, but I was excited and wanted to record it.  There are mistakes in the recording too, I know, but it's ok!

Umm, it's not about anyone like my last song was. It's out of my imagination after initially thinking up the first two lines of the chorus. I promise I am quite happy in my relationship =) But since there are more lyrics in this song than the last and I admit I sort of mumble, here is what I'm saying...

Was it the day you said you'd never leave?
Was it the way I knew you would but I wouldn't believe?
You write the books and give the looks I can't conceive,
and here I am left on the stand alone to grieve.

Well, I sang the same song too many times.
I shouldn't have to pay for your crimes
anymore, anymore, anymore,
anymore, anymore, anymore.

Was it the way I gave you all that I had?
I asked for nothing, you said I should be glad
to have a man with such a plan and tender hands.
You didn't care, now I'm forced to understand

That I sang the same song too many times,
but I shouldn't have to pay for these crimes
anymore, anymore, anymore,
anymore, anymore, anymore.

No, no, no

The time has come, we've lain undone for too long.
But the words you wrote won't make a difference now, no.
You don't see, I don't care,
You won't see, I'm gone.

Cause I sang that same song too many times.
I shouldn't have had to pay for your crimes...
not anymore, not anymore, anymore,
anymore, anymore, anymore.

Was it the day you said you'd never leave
that I should have run back to the breeze?

I love this song. I love the chorus, love the bridge. Your voice sounds right angelic on the bridge. You're amazing!

Aw thanks guys! Pete said that was his favorite part- the bridge. I'd been a little skeptical that it fit and so his liking it helped me feel like it fit, but I posted this on Hanson's forums and everyone who commented said they liked it (which was nice hehe) but that the bridge part was "awkward". I guess it sort of is, and I might be able to play it in such a way that it fits better, but I think it's not completely out of place! I think of it as the part of forlorn reminiscing in the song before the person finally makes up her mind that she is fed up beyond reconcile.  

Thanks for all the responses :)

call me crazy but you and pete look alike..lol
Title: Back to the Breeze (new song)
Post by: NoelleNC on July 28, 2007, 07:28:49 am
Haha. I might do it myself, but I'd rather go get it done somewhere professionally. They do a better job meeting the roots and minimizing the tiger stripe look than my mom does. =P

I can see how you could say we look alike. We have similar coloring and are both about the same frame size, except I'm shorter lol.

Haha no problem. I'm working on a new one, that's more personal, but I'm having trouble playing it on my keyboard without screwing up! I hate cheap keyboards.

The song is so easy to play! And I didn't pick it out, I learned it mostly from the sheet music on the song thread, so it's already available =D

Oh, the one I said I was writing? It's done, but I keep messing up playing it on my keyboard (it's cheap lol) for some reason, so I haven't come up with a recording I'm willing to share. Hehe. Soon hopefully.

Thank you! Does anyone know if there are any tutorials for the song anywhere? Someone asked me for one, but I can't really do it with my equipment.

I finally made a decent recording of my new song and I uploaded it to the account. http://www.youtube.com/noellenc. At the moment it's not wanting to process, but I hope it does. I'm also going to be uploading an mp3/video version of the other older song I wrote and re-recorded shortly. =)

The song titled Would You is absolutely gorgeous!!! I was immediately hooked and am listening now for the second time. You have a great voice. Are you considering a career in music, because if all your songs are like this then you're incredibly talented.

Post by: Zloska_of_yy on September 17, 2007, 11:31:20 am
Just some more words of praise :P

Listened to the two myspace songs.

We all said so: again gorgeous. Love the haunting atmosphere and your voice works excellently with it. Only in the last stages of the song the humming becomes a little too dominant for my taste, but that's a minor thing. I would probably buy this....

Back to the breeze: Good, but not as great as your other two songs. The "no, no, no" part feels a little too awkward and sort of detached from the rest of the song, I don't know how to explain it, but it is too big of a switch. However, your voice is again excellent. I am hearing a bit of Jewel and Vanessa in it actually.

If you write any new songs I hope you'll post them.

Thanks! And I know, Back to the Breeze isn't one of my favorites either. I like the bridge part by itself, but I agree it can seem a bit awkward. I've gotten more used to it after hearing it a few times, but I know what you mean. That's pretty much been the general consensus.

But thanks- we all said so and would you are my favorite I've written, too. they are fun to sing AND play hehe, for me at least.

oh ps- i'm not trying to make a career of music professionally right now. it's a hobby :)

Thanks! I can't usually write songs. I've maybe written a total of 10 songs in the past 5 years. I just happen to get lucky and think of something I like every once in awhile.

I mostly like learning and playing other people' songs =)
