Copy of ABBA - The Winner Takes It All

radiohead

It takes a lot to know a man
It takes a lot to understand
The warrior, the sage
The little boy enraged
It takes a lot to know a woman
A lot to understand what's humming
The honeybee, the sting
The little girl with wings
It takes a lot to give, to ask for help
To be yourself, to know and love what you live with
It takes a lot to breathe, to touch, to feel
The slow reveal of what another body needs
It takes a lot to know a man
A lot to know, to understand
The father and the son
The hunter and the gun
It takes a lot know a woman
A lot to comprehend what's coming
The mother and the child
The muse and the beguiled
It takes a lot to give, to ask for help
To be yourself, to know and love what you live with
It takes a lot to breathe, to touch, to feel
The slow reveal of what another body needs
It takes a lot to give, to ask for help
To be yourself, to know and love what you live with
It takes a lot to breathe, to touch, to feel
The slow reveal of what another body needs
It takes a lot to live, to ask for help
To be yourself, to know and love what you live with
It takes a lot to breathe, to touch, to feel
The slow reveal of what another body needs

ABBA - The Winner Takes It All

I Really Want to Stay at Your House

Transport
Motorways and tramlines
Starting and then stopping
Taking off and landing
The emptiest of feelings
Disappointed people
Clinging onto bottles
And when it comes it's so so disappointing
Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around
Shell smashed, juices flowing
Wings twitch legs are going
Don't get sentimental
It always ends up drivel
One day I am gonna grow wings
A chemical reaction
Hysterical and useless
Hysterical and
Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around
Let down and hanging
Let down
Let down
You know, you know where you are with
You know where you are with
Floor collapsing, floating
Bouncing back and
One day I am gonna grow wings
A chemical reaction
(You know where you are)
Hysterical and useless
(You know where you are)
Hysterical and
(You know where you are)
Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around

love the world and it'll love you back

if you're a girl and single, DM me... maybe..

[Verse 1]
I'm feeling detached
There's no coming back
I wanted to say that
I hate you
The hate in my heart
It drives me so far
Away from the things that
I always knew

[Chorus]
I miss the love that I know I lost
I miss the one that I love a lot
Drinking alone in the parking lot
When is it gonna stop?

[Verse 2]
You're all getting kids
You're all bowling pins
That I would strike down
If life was a game
So thoughtless and cruel
You think you're so cool
I don't think you deserve
Another day

[Chorus]
I miss the love that I know I lost
I miss the one that I love a lot
Drinking alone in the parking lot
When is it gonna stop?
I miss thе one that I know I lost
I miss the one that I lovе a lot
Drinking again in the parking lot
When is it gonna stop?

The Love I Lost - Fried by Fluoride

No Suprises

thanks jacko for the beat and verse @i-wanna-be-a-jack-o-later

nope your too late i died w/ jacko

Wake from your sleep
The drying of your tears
Today we escape, we escape

Pack and get dressed
Before your father hears us
Before all hell breaks loose

Breathe, keep breathing
Don't lose your nerve
Breathe, keep breathing
I can't do this alone

Sing us a song
A song to keep us warm
There's such a chill
Such a chill

And you can laugh a spineless laugh
We hope your rules and wisdom choke you
Now we are one in everlasting peace
We hope that you choke, that you choke

We hope that you 

That you choke
We hope that you choke
That you

voted Britains favourite Abba song of all time. No doubt their most emotive lyric

The Winner Takes it All

Mamma Mia

The Winner Takes It All

I do love me some classic Billy Joel!

This was a very quick one. I took a grand total of two hours to do the backing track, record (two takes) and mix it. I admit to a little laziness - most of this is from the second take but there's a couple of bars punched in from the first. The song is a little high for me and I'm not entirely happy with the harmonica patch I used (need to fiddle with the attack for the short notes) but given how quickly I put it together I think it turned out pretty well!

I also tried taking the base off my Yeti and holding it. I think it sounds better and it makes for a nicer performance, but I did have problems with very high levels even with the mic's gain set to minimum. I think on balance it's an improvement, though. It gives me a bit more control.

I recorded this after my audition for the Gondwana Chorale today. Getting to and from the venue on public transport was... an adventure, shall we say... so I needed something to do to relax! The Gondwana Chorale is one of the Gondwana Choirs and auditions nationally each year. If you live in Australia and are into choral singing, you should audition - I totally recommend it! I've sung with them in a few previous seasons and it's always a lot of fun. They have a YouTube channel here:
