Hi All,
Update - Following feedback, there's a new middle 8 and a few other tweaks here.https://soundcloud.com/my-idiom/youre-gonna-know-me-guide-vox-v10-m-blair-2017 don't feel obliged to listen again if you've already commented. Thanks, Yodasdad.I've decided to put this in finished songs.
https://soundcloud.com/my-idiom/youre-gonna-know-me-guide-vocal-m-blair-2017/s-NATAwI tried it in unfinished yesterday but i've had no joy so far and after tinkering a bit more, the song itself is actually done, I think.
The vocal on it at the moment is still only a guide vocal - it will eventually have a
female vocal on it. 1 because I can't hit the notes as you'll hear and 2 because I wrote it as a
female song.
The only other things that might change before the final vocal are the lyrics:
this broken shell -
to - a broken shell
maybe
at the end of every street -
to - at 20 thousand feet??
and maybe
When you see how I have changed -
to - now everything has changed???
Unless of course you guys have other ideas.
Any feedback is welcome as always but particularly around melody, harmony, structure and lyrics as these are things that will be most difficult to change after paying for a vocalist.
Many thanks
Yodasdad

Verse
I have been the lonely
The faceless and the few
i’m destined not to be remembered
Those are the words you used
You infected every inch of my soul
and left a broken shell
But I will rise up stronger out of this hole
I’m breaking out of hell
Chorus
You’re gonna know me
You’re gonna know my name
You’ll say you know me
coz everything has changed
Take note of me, cos I will be, remembered for eternity
You’re gonna know me someday
Verse 2
I keep a picture in a locket
Of the me that I set free
One day you’ll see it on a billboard
At the end of every street Or at 20 thousand feet
As you’re passing take a look in my eyes
at what you could’ve had
but instead you tried to mess with my mind
Well look how I’ve bounced back
Mid 8
I’m stronger than you know
I healed from all my bruises
Ive gone and flipped the status quo
I’ve dealt with all my hate
These days I’ve learned to use it
I roped a dope now I’ll steal the show
