My Music Career...

Well today I've gotten up to a late start so I've been lazy about school and just did some story writing (short story), and some music playing. I was working out some solos or whatever that could go along with the chords of the song when I discovered a tune of a bass part that REALLY matched to that of All American Rejects' "Dance Inside".... I got so scared that I might've just found the same chords to a song and altered it a little...I just ran downstairs (maybe talking a few words of scandal to myself :-o ) , picked up my ipod, ran upstairs, got my headphones that can play BLARING music for headphones, put them on, and listened to the song. Well I was in luck in one way... the song, "Dance Inside" was power chords, but the same variety (fingering) of chords could be played (not the exact chords in sound, the Dance Inside chords are one note lower). I was still pretty scared, until I noticed that the tune to singing was completely different, the solo was different, drums... Ethan would need to know about that, but if I did the bass the certain way, it would sound exactly (except in a different key) the same (only the bass). Basically... you need to know guitar about what I'm talking about, unless I actually explained it well for once! All I could say is that it was a close call...

Haha, ok I had to read that three times through before I could understand what you were trying to say...:p
And even now...I don't think I really know what you are trying to say....it's probably just me....unless what you are trying to say is that you thought you'd copied the bass part of "Dance Inside" for your song(which you didn't)....then I guess I understand what you're trying to say...;-D

sHANNON said...

I understood the whole thing...well most of it anyway.
Great Post Damien *Finally!!*;-)

Shannon *As sweet as can be*

Kat said...

Oh haha yeah, Great post Damien!! ;-D

Dameo said...

Shannon... I must say... you know your music :-D. And hey! I read it over and completely understood myself! The way of the chords is the same, just a note higher. But luckily the tune is different. Oh and thanks ;-)

Kat said...

I just listened to your song.....IT'S SO AWESOME! I still can't believe you wrote it! Though the drums (In my opinion) need a bit more.

Dameo said...

Ethan, I'm listening to 1sttry, one of the songs you sent me, and the way you hit the side of the drums (or wherever) seems to be a nice intro.

Dameo said...

Wait. I just heard the next part of your drums, on which I've been wanting you to try next time we get together, listen to it and notice the snare,snare, bass snare...

Kat said...

HA! At least I'm not the only one who didn't really understand ;-)

Jeeps said...

English please!

J/K Nice post Dameost!

sHANNON said...

Ooh! Ooh! I know what there talking about! (I really do ;-)...)
Damien your song is great! it sounds...pretty good but I could'nt really hear the piano. And the drums, the drums need a little more help *What i'm trying to say is A LITTLE FASTER!!* :-D...
Great Song though, you guys are doing a great job!
Shan

Dameo said...

Haha Justin and Ethan!!!! I'm not the only one who thinks it needs to be faster! :-D But yes, I was already planning on that. Oh and thanks

sHANNON said...

Someone was up really late last night...;-D

Dameo said...

I'll try and send em to you Nat! And the story as well ;-), but this one wasnt dedicated to you...
:(

Dameo said...

Haha how come Shannon understood it??? Hmm maybe Caleb, the only reason I could think of is that your learning for 2 years, and my teaching myself for a little over a year, differ COMPLETELY. I'll try to explain it later... or maybe never, its just that the main thing on the story is that I found out how close I was to copying a song (lets hope that doesnt go for the new song I'm currently writing)

Kat said...

Perhaps Shan is just saying she understood it....*evil laugh* ;-)

sHANNON said...

Nope I did, I really did. Gosh You just have to read his post really sllooowww then You'll understand it.

-Lance said...

I understood it the first time...maybe that is because he told me the story, but I think he made himself clear people.

Kat said...

I know...I was just joking around....*sigh*
