Let's collaborate - write & record together, only separately!

Hope you dig it.

Maybe we could throw drums on top of it next? What you think, KK? I'm thinking something similar to drum beat 2 in the verse, and something like beat 3 in the bridge/chorus would be solid. Let the creative juices flow...

Listened to it and I liked it, I'll start working on putting drums over it tommorow. I also looked at your songs on youtube, very uplifting sound. I'm interested in adding drums to those later after I get this song done and see how everything works out.

Glad you enjoyed them. Happy to upload clean copies of those songs for layering with others' inspiration. Should be fun.

Happy to write up new songs anytime.

I'm pretty excited to hear a beat over this one.

I want to give you you my everything
I want to be music that makes you sing
I wanna be the mood that soothes when your mind stings
I wanna be behind the smile when your phone rings

I would like to give you you my everything (2x)

I want to give to you my every day
You would live twice as long to run and play
I wanna be the extra time you waste away
I wanna be the memory your mind replays mind replays

I would like to give to you my every day (2x)

I want to share with you my every thought
I want to be the one who makes you hot
I wanna be the reason for those clothes you bought
And the reason why you take them off take them off

I would like to share with you my every thought (2x)

I know that I can't give you all these things
'Cuz all I am is just a human being
All that I can give to you is all that I can be
All the rest is up to you, you see.

But I would love to give to you my everything (3x)

My Everything w/ Drums

Here is the song with drums over it. Overall, I'm not sure if I'm satisfyed with it, there are a few parts where I feel like I screwed up, but after showing it to a few friends who think it sounds fine, I'm going to post it here and get some feedback on it. I still might re-record it and see if I can get it better.

I will download it tonight from home when I have better bandwidth! Thanks!

wire drums?

Stone Birds · 07-07-2009, 02:36 AM

it's just playing drums with wire sticks.

Okay, I've listened to the song with drums a few times, and I am listening to it right now--I enjoy it, and it is actually the first time any of my songs has had a drum beat added to it by someone else. To me it sounds great--I just have one question: did you record the drums in a separate track or did you overlay?

If the drum beat was recorded as its own track, I would love to tweak it with some minor editing/echo etc if you don't mind. Let me know, and you can email it to me - cavanherk@gmail.com

Thanks K.K. I can't stop nodding my head to that beat.
