Here is my entry for the week. I went with some alternate tunings for the starts of the verses and choruses. You should recognize them (the clue is in the song). I'm curious what everyone heres when they read it. I'm hearing a rap song.
Yeah, yeah, check it............
Intervals
========================================
Down in the dumps is where we are
Apathy runs rampant down here
Draining us of our minds and souls
Attached idea that things never resolve
Dabbling along with your fancy chords
Dissonance flaring, our pleas ignored
Enough intervals that don't work
Back to the old drawing board
Evaluate your progression
Before flare becomes obssesion
Evolve, change and adapt
Escape the circle, or get yourself trapped
Empathize the chord over and over
Be bold, play with all your muster
But you're not match for bare bone structure
Downstrokes, distortion, powerchords
Are the voices of us peasant lords
Dreams, daring, and determination
Are the values of our new nation
Don't doubt our domination
D-day fought with aliteration
Come around, look to the street
Grovel and bow to our wicked beat
Consencous has been reached
Go back to your castle and be-sieged
Climb to the tower top, give a long pause
Calamity and catrastrophe, all you caused
Empathize the chord over and over
Be bold, play with all your muster
But you're not match for bare bone structure
Downstrokes, distortion, powerchords
Are the voices of us peasant lords
Dreams, daring, and determination
Are the values of our new nation
Don't doubt our domination
D-day fought with aliteration

I like it. Your CV/wishlist, set to music! 8)
Couple of tiny things.....
"Before flare becomes obssesion".....should that be "flair?"
"But you're not match for bare bone structure" - either "not a match," or "no match"....depends on how you sing it. Typo?
"Consencous has been reached," - consensus? or consciousness? I'm guessing the former, but the latter might work - if you used something like "consciousness is within reach."
Oh, and there's two l's in "alliteration" - even though it's not a Welsh place-name!
Very minor quibbles, though. Definitely bonus points for changing the tuning - like changing key within a song. Love the way you always try to find a different angle on these assignments! You've definitely got your own individual,slightly quirky way of looking at things....now - git recordin'!!!!!! I'd love to hear this....probably wouldn't be anything like the way I'm hearing it in my mind, but...you've got to start recording some originals. All your original songs have been VERY original....time to put 'em out for the public!
:D :D :D

Hi Grunge Sunset,
You should recognize them (the clue is in the song). I'm curious what everyone heres when they read it. I'm hearing a rap song.
Interval 5ths ie power chords...I am hearing something in the "industrial" or speed metal genre.....maybe a track for Guitar Hero :P ..but if rap is your flavor...lay down the beat and pump it! :note2: :mrgreen: :note2:
