Like a Steady Train

[Remy D]

December 28th

2012

I was diagnosed

Not to worry

It isn’t cancer


Did I forget to mention

That the world did not Mend

As predicted by the Mayans

How ever many years ago?


I am now 29

I aged in a hurry

Half of my life time

I was working towards it


My body is fighting my body

As my mind feeds off delusion

I have an insufficient pancreas

Sugar rushes through my veins

Like a steady train.

The Mayans never predicted anything from what I can gather.

exactly.. a fabrication used as a distraction by the elite, another bread an circus act. i just thought putting in that verse would bring people back 2012.. and the irony of contracting a disease at the very end of a year that was either said to be the last or the very first is worth the addition. so even though the experience of renewal may not have reached others, that year, my life changed completely.

Verse?
Sorry I didn't realise ..... do you do it to music .... beats and stuff?
I'm interested cos I have a hobby of making sounds manipulating sounds and trying to put them together to make some kind of sense.
Bit like you with words I suppose.
The two could go together great.
If you don't mind me asking how old are you and what sound you into?

It's all a bit experimental and they are all very different but here you go.

The first two .... sings Lenny higher and lower is me singing .... trying to sing.
The third is a friend singing.
Black street Blues is me doing all the hard work and a guy called Billy Dragon doing the Lyrics over the top.
Some weird sounds I've put together using computers guitars keyboards drums pots pans whistles VST's.
Most of it is around ten years old and more now.

I've still not got to bed with having spent a lot of the day in bed unwell with a chest infection.
I can see me getting to bed about five and I have an M.O.T appointment at eleven so won't be getting much sleep.
Remy here's a link to same sounds but a page with a bit more info.
I know some of the stuff is crazy stuff.
At the moment I'm trying to do a classical music kind of thing but I won't be able to help myself ... it'll have sound effects and lots of reverb and splodge etc .....http://www.reverbnation.com/jackbis61yearsold

I've got it without Billy Dragons lyrics.
Billy Dragon is an Asian guy I have never met other than online.
He was asking people to put some kind of sound to his lyrics and I thought ok last thing he's going to be expecting is a reggae sound he loved it!
Trouble was he sent me one line of lyrics which was a tad short.
I chopped it up and placed it here and there.
Never really finished editing it.
Send me some rap or poetry or singing anytime you fancy.... if possible without any other sound and I'll have a play with it for laughs.
There's good money to be made at this game in advertising apparently.
Everyone wants to be a hit record seller .... never happens for amateurs like me cos I don't have the talent for that but short sound scape's for radio or background sound for adds news reels etc can be serious money apparently.
If you watch BBC 24 News any time have a listen to the opening music.
It isn't music.
It's a bit of swirly synth with a tense one second count down beat to dramatize it.
The guy got twenty five grand for that and BBC 24 news got a signature sound that I don't think has changed for quite a few years.
If you can come up with the killer words to sell a tin of beans or a bottle of bleach you're on a winner.
The Factory .... what a racket but .... that is just industrial sounds looped together.
A lot of manipulation and chopping up to make it sound like there's drums guitars key boards humans even but there are none of those .... purely factory sounds.
I can sit here forever wrapped in headphones thinking I'm Pink Floyd with all these sounds swirling around my head!
I aint young .... I'm in my sixties but love all manner of music.
Glad you liked some of it.
