[Dutchbeat]

Boydie yes, please
thanks
and yes, a total out of control jam would be splendid, Tinam

i hope people are prepared to give a go at some singing along or adding other things
and these things then will be combined, and we can see for choirs, combinations etc.
the crazier the better

but seriously every track will be handled with discreteness  so only the final product will be with everything and every one in there, no other mixes..and anyone who wants his contribution out of that mix, it will be done immediately

does that sound like a real well thought plan, or not  i think it does 
oh well, please join, ok?

[The Corsair]

I challenge you to include 'standing like statues' in a harmonised hook. That is all.

[mihkay]

I'm hearing a bass-line. 

Working on it. 

[Dutchbeat]

Yes, a bassline would be nice!

I just realised, well at night i realised, that the song is a bit off tune (so not on 440 hrz for the middle a). For singing that will not be a problem, but for guitar and other instruments it will...


so i will put a version here soon (tommorow night at last) together with the lyrics, that is on tune

sorry about that, and i can't do it now because of work 

[Boydie]

Hey DB

Please also post up the chords and the exact tempo in BPM

Regarding the guitar I thought it would work best if I gave you a few "samples" (e.g. a few bars of different ideas) that you can throw into the mix wherever you see fit

Do you want "dry" recordings that you would add the effects, amp sims etc. or do you want them already processed (or both)?

If there is anything specific you want from the guitar part just let me know as I am happy with any style/genre

Should be a good bit of fun having loads of people working on th sane track - nice idea!

[nooms]

i'd have a go at a vocal DB if youd like that, id be pleased to give it a go..

could you post the words ?

[tina m]

i will dress up as a smurf

[Dutchbeat]

Hi Tinam, Nooms, Boydie and Mihkay

I will prepare a post with lyrics, chords, BPM, and a link to the music in the right tune, and i hope you can give it a go (Tinam when you dress up like a smurf, make a picture please, and i will put it in the video somewhere)
and Mihkay (bass? perhaps also a vocal track?), Boydie (guitar bits, as far as i am concerned you can put the effects on it just the way you want), and Nooms (vocal track) any input is appreciated, just let it flow....and i hope it is ok that i mess around and combine, chop up etc. with the tracks, let's just try some things


thanks, hope to be back with the material in hour or two

[Dutchbeat]

Hi Boydie, Nooms and Mihkay (and Tinam)

and everybody who is willing to donate a track or an image or film clip to this project, anything will do (singing, spoken words, a sample, harmonica, tamborine, whatever!!!)

WE CAN MAKE A LOT OF NOISE together!!! 

i will e-mail the -on tune- tune, 101 BPM track, via PM e-mail to you guys first in a minute, others who are prepared to give it a go please let me know, and i will PM the track, the more the better, will give me more to work and play with, and to sort out 

in case you might be interested to give it a try, just to make DB happy  , let me know

here are the lyrics and the chords (i hope i got the chord names right, and i hope chord names are the same in English, please be gentle , it has been almost 25 years since my last piano lesson). If you want the music track, let me know. here are the lyrics and chords:

Life goes by  (BPM 101)

Wait up, why are you going so fast
Dm        Gmin   Cmaj
Take it all in make every moment last
Dmin         Gmin      Cmaj
Slow down, …take a look around
Dmin        Gmin      Cmaj
Take a little pleasure, in everything you do
Dmin                        Fmaj             Cmaj


Cause life goes by, in the blink of an eye
Gmin           Cmin         E bes maj
Don’t be afraid to laugh, don’t be afraid to cry
Gmin        Cmin          E bes maj
…………………..hold on! To all your hopes and dreams
Gmin                       Cmin        E bes maj
And keep believing, things are not what they seem
Gmin           Cmin             E bes maj

no singing:
B bes maj              Dmin   Amin       Cmaj
Dont regret the things you do, regret the things you don’t   
B bes maj                       Dmin         Cmaj      Cmaj


(no new chords follow from here, back to verse chords…starting with Dmin)

Hold on, to all your hopes and dreams
Dm      Gmin      Cmaj
Keep believing, things are seldom what they seem
Dm         Gmin       Cmaj
Slow down…… take a look around
Dm      Gmin   Cmaj
Take a little pleasure, in everything you do
Dmin                         Fmaj   Cmaj

- Instrumental break - (ending with: “…in everything you do”)

Cause life goes by, in the blink of an eye
Don’t be afraid to live, don’t be afraid to die
Hold on, to all your hopes and dreams
Keep believing
Things are not what they seem

…don’t give up…

Don’t regret the things you do, regret the things you don’t

Cause live goes by, in the blink of an eye
Don’t be afraid to live, don’t be afraid to die
Hold on, to all your hopes and dreams
Keep believing

what video editing programe do you use dutchbeat? can u do chromakeying if i give you video shot on a green screen?
then youd be able to actually have me in the video as you have it now! that would be cool!

[Schavuitje]

Hey DB

Sent you an email earlier in reply. Just send the files mate and I'll have a crack at ruining it 

[Dutchbeat]

Hi forum people,

i have sent the track, or contacted everybody that really did volunteer via PM e-mail (that would be: Schavuitje, Mr Chainsaw, Kafla, Flossie, Mihkay, Mrs. DB, Tinam, E-street, Domj, Tone & Nooms)

if i am forgetting someone, or you want to give this a try, please let me know, so that i can send the track!

[Boydie]

if i am forgetting someone

        

[Dutchbeat]

I did send you the track, Boydie 

i am sure i did yesterday, but i will check on that


here is a new link to the you tube video, the video music and the traack i am sending are exactly the same (pitch and speed), just to prevent mix ups

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMxjN7_EagQ

[Boydie]

Cheers DB

I was only pulling your leg as you had missed me off the list in your post

All received and I should get a chance to have a bash this weekend

Boydie
