Drake Lee Morton has recently uploaded two three four nuggets of pure happiness for you to rub your slimy noses in, and finally emerge unscathed...
YAY!!!!!!!!!!
ahem...
The first song, which is quite confusingly titled "Carrnid", tells the story of a man who is murdered by his wife in a strictly metaphorical way...
Or is it metaphorical?
No-one knows...
One thing I can be sure of though, this song ended up taking ages because I didn't think it was going anywhere to start with...
And then I realised that the only reason I thought it wasn't going anywhere was because it actually wasn't, and that amused me, so I started working on it again...
And that's also why the song's called "Carrnid". Yep.
Basically, I didn't wanna give it a proper title, so I named it Carrnid cuz that was the working title the first time I started working on it.
FOUR MONTHS before I went back and finished the damn song!
Yep.
The second song, a well-meaning 'reprise' of popular song 'Tomber Amoureux', is the sole ingredient in a life of disdain.
For those of you who are somewhat familiar with the concept of Rife With Disease, this song signifies the protragonist's realisation that the mantra running through his head in the original song is basically bullshit.
This used to be one of those recordings that makes use of electric guitars, but if you heard my terrible original recording, you'll agree that acousticism makes the song-song soooo much better.
I like this now more than I do the original 'Tomber Amoureux'.
If you had heard the original 'Tomber Amoureux', you would know why.
Looking back on it, it was ACTUALLY quite noisy.
The third, the self-proclaimed 'song that uses piano, two guitars, a spoken word vocal and a couple of dandy effects' is a rather disgruntled An Arm Band, A Death Mask And Ten Thousand Smiling Eyes, which thinks it should be placed at every postition on the song list, with no cause for any other audio bites to exist.
This is a song that thinks highly of itself, indeed.
(Not so) interesting fact: this song was my attempt at writing prog-ish music that still sounded refreshingly experimental at the same time as being irritatingly pretensious.
And the only reason the effects on the distorted guitar are there is because I thought that if the guitar was gonna sound terrible (my amp was nearly broken at the time), it may as well go over the top with its terrible sound.
The lyrics were bashed out in several minutes after the music was done, because I wanted to write more spoken word stuff (I'm pretty good at writing prose that sounds like poetry.)
So that's that...
'Til The Clouds Roll By is a plodding, thudding, treble-loving nightmare to bring your blues out and slap 'em around a little...
This is a song that has undergone so many changes that every time I listen to it I become confused as to which part will play next...
And this amuses me.
Yes, the percussion sounds thin.
Yes, some parts sound like the song is actually breaking.
Yes, I have tried my hardest to conceal the fact that some parts are out of time.
Yes, some other fourth thing.
BUT I think it turned out okay, considering all that shit I mentioned up there.
Especially that fourth thing...
Fucker.
Anyhooooo, I'll stop rambling now...
ENJOY!!!
