You've Been Done Before

I been messing around with a song that's been stuck on my harddrive for a while now and I think it will fit Point zero, so I'm bringing it to the point zero rehearsal on wednesday to see what the guys think, and to see how it works out in a rockified state.

So.. the song is a bit odd, but I like that. It starts out in a pop/rock-Dave Matthews kind of style, with a simple three chord progression and a simple riff. Then in the middle of the song it visits a middle-eastern vibe and stays there for a while, then returning in joint forces for a last chorus.

Here's the current draft of my lyrics, might change as we rock on:

You've been done before

I try to make your world as mine
The world around has changed your sound
I try to change the course of time
Extract my flaws and extract my heart

It's hard to face it all, alone, astray and out of place
It will only bitter you..

Your sound is strange even in surround
Your soul is pale even in high def

It's hard to face it all, alone, astray and out of place
It will only bitter you..

It's alright
Cause it's all been done before
It's all the same and it's alright
Cause it's all been done before
You've been done before

(I don't think that the expression 'bitter you' is correct in english grammar, but I call on my artistic freedom for that :) ).

Ny sång uppladdad

En liten pop/rock-låt vid namn "Tro Inte" ligger nu i spelaren på hemsidan -> Lindbergmusic.se

Text:

Tro inte (text och musik: F. Lindberg)

Allt som du sagt till mig
Allt som jag trodde var sant
Allt som du sa till mig
Allt som nu saknar substans
Hur kan du säga så?
som jag ej fanns
I en värld där jag saknar att någonting håller mig kvar

Nej, tro inte att jag stannar kvar
Nej, tro inte att jag ångrar mig
Nej, tro inte att jag stannar kvar
Här hos dig

Alla dom saker vi sagt
Lämnar ett spår
Saker du sagt som ekar
Helt utan sans
Vad kan jag säga dig
Jag lämnar allt
Nu har du fått mig ur balans

Ja, ta mig nu härifrån
Ja, ta mig långt bort från dom
Ja, ta mig nu härifrån, jag har fått nog

Who needs guitar and bass - Van Canto

I like the "guitars"... :)

Logix

We had another point zero rehearsal today, our weekly wednesday jam. Actually we seem to start each rehearsal with a spontaneous jam and I must say that we're getting better at it by each time.

So.. lets see, what did we do today. We played 'Merry-Go-Round' for the first time in a long time, and it was a bit rusty in our memory. But it all ended well I'd say.

I got some time to look into the two point zero songs that I'm mixing this week as well (loooooong overdue, sry guys), and yesterday I wrote a solo for 'My Reason'. I have a hard time mixing big projects as this now, because my computer aint that high-end. Getting all kinds of error messages from time to time. CPU overload seems to be the most frequent one, to say that it drives me mad sometimes is an understatement...

I'm also looking into a guitar tone for PZ, it's hard.. But I will get there.

I'm also writing the orchestral arrangement for 'Unbeatable Foe', which is a main part in that one.

...some other projects are on the way as well, but I'll keep them to myself for now.

Happy Rockin'

RIP DIO

The small guy with the amazing grand voice is no longer with us. I had the opportunity to see him live in Stockholm 2001 (I think it was). Rainbow, Sabbath (The Dio-era was always the best in my opinion), Heaven and Hell... all great music.

Amazing voice and an amazing legacy of music. Now he's jaming with Cozy Powell...

RIP

iRig - Guitar amplifier for your iPhone

I liked this little gadget for your iPhone, giving your phone that rock appeal :)
IK Multimedia have done guitar simulation for some time now, and I like their plugins for DAWs (Amplitube 3). So I'm guessing that iRig will work great and from this video demo, I must say that it sounds alright as well. Now I'll just have to wait until they make guitars that are small like my phone :)
