a world of happiness is our dream
bless you and bless your soul

bless you and bless your soul
this world is everybodies home
bless you and bless your soul
in this world so wonderful

Hey Saeed and Benjo,
perhaps you could consider to add a choir existing of forumites for this part...
bless you and bless your soul
mix the colours of the rainbow
bless you and bless your soul
this world is everybodies home
i had a project a while ago on which i tried to add as many tracks from separate singers and instruments from the forum (i messed up in the end because of a computer problem and no good back up...yes, i make back ups nowadays....here is the link of how far we got with adding forum singers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mTKhZI0szI (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mTKhZI0szI)
but nice collaboration, guys, good luck with it! If you have the music, please post it, ok?

Hi Dutchbeat ..
My thought exactly .. but I wonted the good singers of the forum to sing a line or in duets .. and harmony .something like the world aid .. so many ideas .. but first you all must like the melody .. lets see what happens by to night ..
Any body ready to participate .. tell Benjo .. and I send the files .. ;D
I would encouraged others to have ago with the lyrics someone might get a better melody .. my aim .. is to get this thing moving .. charity people get what they need ..
Thanks guys
Cheers
-

and i'm along for the ride with who ever gets on board well done... tony
-
Hi Dutchbeat
nice video .. too crazy for me .. but the effort is great .. nice work .. I think it needs organizer more then any thing ..
Let's hope for the best .. I'm find it difficult to decide which way to go smooth light or sort off Rockiesh .. dark and saddish .. :D
I think I need help in this .. maybe benjo will have some thing .. ;D
Cheers ..

This is the best I came up with so far .. http://up.top4top.net/d_0197a47e581.mp3
please put the comments here .. cause the lyrics also might need some thing who knows ??

-
It's a nice concept- I've never seen anyone post a charity song before, and it would be pretty marketable too, as not many people write them. Nice work

Sounds pretty darn awesome to me...love the change in rhythm around 'give and take...' and love the full on harmony chorus at the end...great job on lyrics and melody guys :) I'd love to sing some harmony on it if there is room :) CS
-
Hi Suzy ..
pick what ever line you like .. put it on a track at 125 BPM tempo .. and send me the wave file I'll just put it among the ..
please note .. make 3 track please ... ;D .. don't mix or reverb dry please .. no mp3 please ..
I wish if some one else will take over the production .. I have another song I'm working on .. ;D ..
Cheers ..
-
hey saeed,
well done on that mate it sounds lovely
i have played it all day
was it to late for the other lines that i sent you
and was that what you meant my friend
sorry for the missunderstanding
we will have to see where we go from here
well done again very clever of you
i'm on the forum now for a while so catch you shortly
take care my friend...
-
Hi Tony ..
Sorry it was late to do the other lines .. because the song finally took some shape .. specially when Andrew ( Kafla ) gave me the idea of the football chant .. it was brilliant .. there is a line missing in the chorus .. can you find a remedy for it ?? :D
Now the sing should begin .. and the guys and the girls should send there voice tracks to me or to any body wont to do the producing .. and the strong singers there singing tracks to mix .. there are harmony lines if any wont's to sing them .. he or she should send the track of that singing .. ;D ;D ;D
Please guys and girls .. track as wave no mp3 .. no reverb .. dry tracks please .. any one for a solo at the chorus ?? send the solo file midi or wave ? ;D ;D ;D
I need a piano track on the song .. any body is ready to do one .. midi or wave .. midi is best for tuning .. ;D ;D ;D
Cheers guys ..
-

I like the idea this is for charity! It's a very good song because the content stays with the theme. Also it flows well

Thanks Saeed...just wondering if you plan to keep all your harmonies in the ending...they sound lovely but wondering if I should add the same harmony an octave higher or what???...there is a higher harmony so I could just add that...just wondering what your idea was with this, if you want people to add something to this song :) ...I could also add some harmony in parts of the verses :)
thanks CS
-
Hi Suzy ..
Please do what ever you feel .. put every thing you think you can do for the song .. verses chorus .. its your song .. one two three lines .. what ever you like ..
next collaboration will be with you Suzy .. be prepared .. ;D
OK ..don't tell me just do it .. once I have the tracks then we can discuss how we should proceed .. I might add Harmony my self later .. ;)
Thanks Suzy ..
Cheers

Hi Saeed...thought we'd better stop chatting on Bin's post, as far as the trumpet goes..I play a Bb horn and I can play up to a high E or F if I'm feeling on...thanks
-
Hi Suzy ..
But Bin should know how high you can play .. don't you think .. if he is going to write for brass ??
Only a thought .. ;D
Cheers ..

OH sorry...I didn't know he had agreed to write the horn part ??? I guess we should get him on this page :) does Bin play a brass instrument?
-
Hello Suzy ..
I don't know .. he said he play the brass through his guitar connected to midi device .. maybe a midi guitar or something .. but the arrangement were nice .. so I asked him to write some for the song .. and he'll try .. he'll see .. ;D ;D ;D
cheers
