Re: VENICE

Hi Lieven this is better than goodbye!  Lyrics are great - "hair dancing in the wind" is lovely!

Eb to D change is sublime

Re: VENICE

BONE, thanks. This song is in fact an interpretation based on another song. PROBLEM: I always tell to use more simple chords, result: again "not so easy chords" and also the first TWO lines, are calm, but the next to a little bit different, same chords but MORE PASSION.
I am hoping to use asap my little recording device (BOSS BR 600). It worked, using 4 canals and a virtual, I played some "bluesy" riffs, starting in A, D, E. Next some bending strings based on E and finally some stuff in G and B. If you would here this together it's a real cacophonie, but that machine, pushing some  and sliding other stuff, I really don't know how, but this CACOPHONIE, was even pretty good, something with arrangements and virtual tracks, compressing it all into one entity. There was an English manual, but I found the Dutch translation. It took me 2 hours, and I am really impatient if I have to read manuals. I need to find how to add rhythm patterns. If it works, I will try to post it on myspace, just instrumental, 60 seconds.

Re: VENICE

Great Song Docs,

I had a very memorable trip myself this year on a gondola. Venice is a beautiful old city,
but also a wee bit whiffy!

Romantic ? Yes! when your with the right person.

Well done

Re: VENICE

DOLL, you really should hear it. I used my boss br 600, and maybe I can play the melody, and put it on myspace. (THIS IS THE REASON WHY I BOUGHT THIS BOSS).
Broke my finger, and my lower back is even worse. I can't walk, can't play, and I am still confused

Re: VENICE

Lieven
Like daddy says,
this is better than saying goodbye

I love the lyrics, especially the words " I lost my beating heart to you"
such a simple few word with such meaning.

Good stuff

Ken

Re: VENICE

Well KEN, your my men, like Doll and Bone wrote, it pleases me. As told I'm a fast learner, so (since I'm out for a while = can't play, left wrist and finger, left) I wanted to write in WORD some word-combinations, to use in Lyrics. AND YOU GUYS: I am glad with your opinions and comments. Even if you should tell me to use Dm in stead of D7 I would start to use this chord and hear how it sounds.
I'm even convinced that creating a "bank" to put phrases, I hear, see so much phrases, every day, and this would be a nice collection of words. Sometimes in bed, I'm busy with lyrics, I even had a dream, where I had to write lyrics, found some but I was in school, almost naked, patients were calling, and I was still studying.
In fact that phrase can be used. Who doesn't have dreams, about studying, dream-faces from friends, I can jump very high, fly and having car accidents, or worse, driving on a road , surrounded by water. It even exists, if you drive from Miami to the keys. SCARY. I know a few people in Belgium who were afraid while driving on that road.

Re: VENICE

I drove that road (US1) from Miami to Key West last summer - Top down in a Mustang!  Actually drove from Orlando quite a journey.  What a memory!  Thanks for reminding me - must dig out the photos cool
