Chemtrail Song: Forcing our Surrender

As promised I have penned a new CT song, called FORCING OUR SURRENDER and am about to record it analogue. It's a simple acoustic number in Eminor with some very cool changeups, a melodic bass line, and some fingerpicking. Now the other songs are waiting for some critical equipment to arrive because they have massive production values, but while I have to wait for that thing, I decided to CSNY a little ditty (it sucks, you are warned.) It will have one little overdub, from a movie.
Here are the lyrics
“I got vision and the rest of the world wears bifocals.”
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
I see the light shining in each of us
I see a world waiting to learn, yeah
There’s a force that’s forcing our surrender
If we don’t start acting like human beings
Don’t you know what I’m talking about
I see a place that isn’t very far from here
Time is the greatest distance between us
There’s a love that’s hoping to love us
Providing we can love ourselves
Don’t you know what I’m talking about
The world won’t end in an instant
There’s a light, a light that’s bright
There’s a pain deep inside my deepest being
There’s a heaven found inside my darkest hell
Don’t you know what I’m talking about
These chemtrails are killing, all you love
You can’t see the sky, only lies…
Oh yeah.
Oh yeahhhhhhhhhhhh

Speaking of massive production values, when the software I am using started calcing the drive space needed to track out each song, it turns out each song is going to suck down about 300 to 500 megabytes in HD space!!!!
I really had no idea it was going to get this unreal. So...if any of you...YOU DON"T NEED TO BUY ONE...have an old hard drive you kept from your last upgrade and you think you could let it go, let me know. I can make it go as is, but will have to erase each song, and all it's work, to do the next song. (some are going "I hope your whole hard drive erases, MR. sucks!)
JUst the VST plugins to do this right took up 130 megabytes on my little 400 meg hd. Which, of course, sucks.

I really dig the title, NSA. It seems very appropriate.
A 400 meg HD? I hate to ask what kind of processor you've got under the hood... |

RE: the ct song, can't wait to hear it! Can't wait to hear all of them. Possible title for the CD...."Is it Soup yet?" |

An AMD PII k575, I think. It's a slow pii, but it worky okay dokay - since I "lost" my state of the art, brank spankin new laptop in January, I had to resurrect this out of mothballs. I'll tell you how bad it is.
THe CD rom is a 4x from 1994
The audio card is a ISA slot made in 92, SB16
64 meg of ram, 400mg hd from 1994, and it um barely goes. I practically had to strip all the software on it to do this music project. In fact, had I know how much research, work, and learning I needed to do to do this, I would have never started it in the first place.
I just two weeks ago upgraded to win98 from 95.
Sucks no?

Flkook: Well, I have six songs - would need to write six more to make a CD. I need to at least get these into the can and see how it goes. Of course, you can abuse these as you will, ifn' you want. These are meant for whoever and whenever.
And I have taken a great deal more time with them...thinking through each little note, it's placement, but going with my gut and the moment for melody and score - the groove is the thing. And...it has to phat.
I've got a country CT song.
One that is very um KORN (drop-d and detuned a half step)
ANother CSNY thingy
A very floyd meets deftones ditty.
And one arranged for piano.
I am trying to meet all tastes - hahahaha
(that'll be the day) |

FLK: If there were a CD, chemtrails would have to be part of the title, no? Good idea though...

Is It Chem-Soup Yet?
nsa, have you checked out the local computer repair shops for a hard drive? I'd bet they have piles of 3 gigabyte ones in the back rooms, gathering dust. |

Well, if it ever gets that far, IS IT CHEMSOUP YET? sounds like the leader of the pack. Any other suggestions are welcome. Chime in whenever.
This must really piss of TPTS, as music crosses boundaries like no other thing in the world - except love. |

Spoke too soon about our real sky...how depressing. Got about 20 trails goin' in various stages of dispursement. Another pithy title idea.

Chem de jour...Soup Nazis, Is it Chem-Soup yet, maybe this could be one of those recordings with a running theme (Pink Floydish) Not necessarily in sound but in idea. Chem Chowda anyone? One of the titles to an old carni thread I started might be appropriate Soup to Nuts
Are we getting too chem-plicated now, AM I being a chem-median? After all we all share the same chem-history. |
