World of Hurt came out in about 5 minutes.  I felt like I needed intro and then I wrote it from scratch.

My idea was to make it sound like mix of Lostprophets " If It Wasnt For Hate We'd Be Dead By Now" and Nina Simone's version of "Feeling Good" I don't know if the outcome is anyhing like those two songs... 

I guess the harmonica melody brings a bit "Feeling Good" vibe at least. And old radio effect in vocals too. It became much longer than I planned!


01 - World of Hurt

90% of this song came to me while I was vacuuming. The only part that I had to come up "on my own" was slow piano bridge part. I know I over use slow parts basically on every one of my songs but can't help it. Dynamic between hard and quiet just hits me. This time bridge got two parts tho, hard and quiet. Finally I also decided to add vocal melody line to it, even tho I hate doing it. But this song deserves it and it's pretty repetitive so it was quite fast process, haha. 

Lately I just sit down with piece of paper and lyrics just come out. In that way I'm living time of my life right now, I have never been this good at expressing myself. I've written so many songs during this month that it's getting crazy. And all those songs are basically my new favorites. And every single chord and vocal melody line just pop into my head. I feel like universe is giving me songs and I just collect them.

It's Not About You (It's Not About Me)

I wrote this one couple weeks ago. I decided to add vocal melody so people would get something out of it. It's kinda new sound for me but the chorus is very similar to every one of my last songs. Really repepetitive and in a way "stadium" kinda chorus. Hard to explain but I'm sure you'll get the idea. You know, like MCR's "Sing"

After second chorus guitar riff comes in and it kinda changes a key of the song but it remains to sound good and familiar nevertheless. I think the verses have this weird gritty sound and the chorus is the completely opposite, quite fun and light. Even tho the whole theme of the lyrics is sad. I wrote lyrics really quickly and I really think I'm improving. In a way you can think that I'm having conversation with myself or I'm having conversation with someone else. I'm not even quite sure which one is true. I guess both. 

Kiss The World Goodbye

My roomie pointed out that it's very similar to MCR's Dead! And it kinda is. I mean the chord progression and rhythm are almost the same. But that's good song so no worries!

I don't really know what to say about this. It just came piece by piece. Lyrics are kinda about me and my childhood and growing up? But in kinda rock'n'roll way, nothing too serious. I only added chorus vocal melody since I was being lazy as fuck.

Paper Cuts And Smiles

I don't remember much about this song. It's fairly new, just finished it today. I guess I started writing it a month ago or so.  

Exploding Heart

First song I ever wrote so I guess it's from middle of the 2008. I recently found it from my song archives and decided to re-write the music. I've been into Coldplay lately and decided to try out if I can make the arrangement sound anything like their music. I guess in bits and pieces you can hear Coldplay but it mostly ended up sounding like me... no wonder! 

The vocal melody is still one of my favorite ones, didn't add it to this one though :e But I basically kept chords, vocal melody and lyrics the same and just worked on the music. I sure think it got a lot better. And it should have been since I was sucky guitarist back in 2008, not that there's anything special in it now either!

Pull Me To The Shadows

IT'S FINALLY READY, YEY. Ended up being 12:25 long... So I basically started writing song normally. Then I realized I'm writing different kind of parts to it and then I realized it's gonna be one of those long songs with different kinds of parts in it. This one got 7 different parts. Then I realized I have actually never heard a song that has all different types of music in it, yet the chorus follows the song till the end? So I had this "brilliant" idea that every part has the same chorus, yet the chorus is musically in the style of the current part. You'll get the idea when you hear the song. Chorus ended up being really simple two line one, which was probably the only way it could work in song like this. Oh and there's vocal melody too, whii! I guess I kinda tried to concentrate on guitar parts more than before, make it a bit more interesting!


Sleight of Hand

Figured I'd try to write full song from scratch as quickly as I can and this came out! I'm pretty happy with it! Lyrics became pretty repetitive but that's what happens when you try to be fast, haha. 

Don't Hold It Against Me

Something For The Pain

I've started liking bass lately and actually put effort in it...

Anymore

I just live my life and write songs about it every now and then.

I try to write something about every song I upload 'cause I really like to know something about other people's songs before listening to them. So just click the song title and you'll get some info about it.
