Re: Their past will be dust (6 replies, posted in Poems)
I wrote this song after the executions by IS earlier this year I dont think I posted it .
Dark is the weather
Grey is the sky
sad are the people preparing to die
who knows why they suffer the people relate
all now must perish for that is their fate
oh why do they have
to make there wars
what makes it right to follow a cause
do you think that your god tells you the truth
do you really think he's speaking to you
Forgotten faces on a big screen
cant understand the horror they've seen
what is the reason no one can say
as the blade strikes you all look away

Phill the control socket is for an external volume pedal to control the wah and pitch shift what I did was add a wire to the back of the drum on off switch ,any competant electronics guy can do this in about 15 mins

Re: Dear Friend of Mine (21 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Hi Mazzy to repeat what Pete has said nice lyrics .I liked the song but I found the echo a bit strong ,I think it detracts from your natural singing voice ,I get the impression that you recorded in a room with a natural reverb, maybe its a conservatory with a lot of glass I dont know but that combined with the uke seems to create a problem ,Perhaps a change of room where you record will provide a more mellow sound .I look forward to hearing your next song well done Mazzy

Phil I modified mine with an external foot switch for the drum machine so I could easily switch it on and off when playing live Its simple just a two core lead from the back of the switch to a push to make foot switch from maplin ,cost a couple of pounds
