Four songs! c: (One original, three covers.)
« on: June 23, 2012, 12:11:57 pm »
Hi everyone! So I recently had an AP Language project that required myself and a partner to record a couple of songs. So here they are! The first one is an instrumental with snapping piano strings, so that's something. Let me know how everything is! :)

Predestined EP (BECAUSE I'M GOING TO BE PRETENTIOUS AND CALL IT AN EP)

1: Avantage (written and recorded by me)
I kind of like the sound of this one. Done as a five-minute rough copy.

2: New Soul by Yael Naim
I loooooooooove this song.

3: Bright Lights and Cityscapes by Sara Bareilles
Worst one on here, in my opinion. It was the first one we recorded, and my partner and I both had colds.

4: The Sword and the Pen by Regina Spektor
Possibly the best one we did. I don't know.

Whatcha guys think? Let me know! :)

Great job! :D I especially like the New Me cover. I'm not yet done listening, but I can already say you've got good stuff.

And have you already got a version of Strange Dreams with the violins, drums, and all? I really want to hear it, cause it's beautiful (I haven't changed my mind about it until now). I want it IN MY iPOD.

Keep it up! :D

Floating on the sea, stars are watching me. Currents take me out, what will be will be.

LOL unfortunately not! I can do piano, violin and voice by myself but I neither own nor play drums or cello. The group I had for the performance is getting together over the summer to complete it, so you'll have a copy soon enough! c:

Might try and sell it - why not. You'll get a free copy though, of course, being an early listener and a Nessa buddy. (:

And thanks! I had a lot of fun doing these. I like Sword and the Pen and New Soul the most.

-- wait, you do have the piano sheet music, right? I can't remember if I posted it in the other thread.

Yeah, I do have it, but my keyboard is broken so I haven't been playing for months.

Holy cr*p. You can sing really well, and you're harmonizing with her so well, and are you playing that? Are you seriously playing "Bright Lights and Cityscapes"? BE MY BEST FRIEND. (Jkids, I'm not that creepy, but seriously. Awesome.)

I walk the street with this song in my head / we ebb and we flow so
