i had to write some stuff in college for a couple classes - i think i've written like a half dozen songs in my entire musical career, lol. composition is not my strong point by a long shot. i always envied the composition majors - it blows my mind that some people have such a gift. :smt001 who'd a thunk it?...a bunch of white women and black men with musical talent, lol. it's pure craziness, i tell ya. :smt048 i'll see what i can do as far as a video. i so wish i had my senior recital on video. or even on cd and i could upload the file. makes me really sad that i got gypped. :smt022 i could post videos of other people performing the pieces i did, but i guess that wouldn't be the same.
I admire people like you. I wish I could play an instrument. I do things by ear. I listen to a track or a piece and see what vibe I get from it and then I write. I can't sing, but I know how to write a melody, a hook and a bridge and convey how I want it to sound. The thing is, I have to feel the work, if not nothing will come out on my end. (that sounded nasty...lol) That sucks about your recital. Maybe you can play a piece, Andrae can put a beat to it and I can write the words. Now we just need a singer. We can be the WWBM band...lol
girl, i have major respect for people who play/write solely by ear! that takes skillz! the recital thing does suck...it's been 3yrs and i'm still bitter. :smt086 for what it's worth, here's the 3rd movement to the sonata i played for my senior recital. gosh, i wish i had myself playing it. it is such an incredible piece. oh, and i'm so down with the wwbm band - and didn't bookworm and TheEnd say they were in too? now we just need a name, lol.

I repped you recently, so I'd leave it in there. I wonder how long till I can rep you again. Thank you, but I just do it as a hobby. I wish I had I had stuff recorded, but I don't have anything to show for my work except when I sing and play someone a track, but not together. If it makes you feel any better, I performed in a talent show in 9th grade and it as recorded and I never got a copy. I'd love to see my performance. That is a nice piece! We can take it from hater site and call ourselves The Swirl...lol What does Bookie and The End play?
thanks...it's got two other movements as well, but the 3rd is my favorite, hands down - to hear and to play. what did you do in the talent show?? LOL @ The Swirl!! I :smt049 it! TheEnd plays guitar. :rock: Bookie, the cowbell, rofl! :smt037
We have to figure out a way to hear you.... I did a lip sync to Lisa Lisa's Head to Toe...LOL! Oh, now I get the cowbell thing...lol I didn't read the latter part of the thread in it's entirety. We need to definitely do this!
lol...too funny. maybe we could call ourselves Andrae and the Marshmallows - get it?...b/c we're white like marshmallows?? LOL....i kill me. :smt043 i know i'm lame - go ahead and tell me. :smt105
lmao....well, at least you're honest. i know it was lame, but i couldn't resist. mwhahahaha! my lameness is part of my charm, lol. :smt083
I can't, I gave you one recently...lol I'll try when you say something awesome like you've been doing. LOL!!!!!!! I'm fluffy!
Wish I didn't stop playing instruments, and I wish I learned piano back when I was a kid. It's a bitch teaching myself now. I can't make beats without knowing how to play on the keys n' shit.
Yea everything is harder to learn as you get older. I've been trying to learn Chinese for three years now
