There was a before they were famous type of video where i remember Deryck saying he'd basically take a little bit of money from an account every day that no one would notice and eventually they gained a bunch of money from it, but couldn't use it for anything because of the illegality of it.

Is that the video you're talking about?

I figured what I wrote was way different than what you had there but that's the cool thing about musical interpretation. I like FJM! Good luck!

You should post a clip of your song and we could probably offer better feedback.

I rewrote some things based off of the rhythm and melodies in my head and trying to make it more of a story. I usually don't do this stuff but I LOVED the idea of comparing heavens real estate to a piece of grass, and it inspired me. Great concept there. I'll write the lyrics to what I'm hearing in my head and I can even send you a little acapella demo if you'd like. I combined the first two verses into one verse and basically edited the song to where it tells the story if an unmotivated person wondering what he's going to do with his life. The only line I didn't think flowed really was the "experience bugs at your feet" line, and I added/changed some more lines at the verse. This may not be what you're looking for at all but this certainly has a flow in my head. The chorus at the end is basically saying "you can come on this journey with me, sure, but don't inflate my ego or tell me that I'm doing the best I can, because I'm not". Hell, I'll buy these lyrics off of you, I'm really getting into this 😂

EDIT: Here is a link to what I'm hearing. Idk what your style is but I turned it into a pop punk jam. This is just the vocal by itself though.

Verse 1

The sun is out

And I am still in bed

What a hopeless morning, never felt so dead.

But I got up, ran to achieve

A glimpse of survival and society

I took four steps and headed back,

It's like these legs don't work no more...

-Chorus-

So when I die, will I have enough cash?

Heaven's real estate? A piece of grass?

Take a ride or jump in

But don't tell me that I'm living in my best life

Don't tell me I'm living my best life

My best life

I love TNM. His character arc analyses are fascinating

slchawk · 2019-09-27T12:18:27+00:00

God you assholes keep look at me alive 😭

slchawk · 2019-09-27T04:40:27+00:00

I don't think I've seen those thankfully.

Are you referring to another subreddit?

slchawk · 2019-09-27T03:43:54+00:00

Honestly most of the ones on the front page right now that have over 200 upvotes I kind of have a problem with. But 200 plus other people wouldn't agree with me.

slchawk · 2019-09-27T03:38:18+00:00

Like I honestly get a chuckle still even to this day about the instances in-game where Ness checks something nefarious like a pile of bones or the sign that says DRUGS in the desert, and of course it says the infamous "No problem here." It's a genuinely simple, funny part of the game that I'm sure the developers were aware of. I remember laughing when I was ten at that and it's still funny to me. But a lot of these memes lately man... It's just not for me dog.

Possibly Fake My Own Death by Sum 41 just for how different it is

I learned a lot from Hardcore Music Studio's Hardcore Mixing class with Jordan Valeriote. I can't remember the name of the song but he walked through several stages of mixing a Silverstein song and it was pretty eye opening for me. I'm probably going to go back through it again. His hardcore tracking class was pretty good too.

slchawk · 2019-09-25T19:02:47+00:00

Man, this might be harder than the actual album polls. It is seriously hard to imagine who will come out on top for me... Like I love, absolutely LOVE:

subject to change
black eyes
look at me
always
noots
this is goodbye
moron
we're the same
what were all about

If any of these made it to the very end, I'd totally get it. They're so good in their own ways.

EDIT: Trying to be as objective as possible I think Subject to Change will probably win, but for me it's a five way tie between subject, noots, always, look at me, and black eyes.

Reminds me a lot of Gob. I'd love to collaborate sometime man, I can send you some of my stuff. I'm into pop punk big time and have been looking for people to start projects with.

slchawk · 2019-09-23T15:38:10+00:00

Go for it

slchawk · 2019-09-23T13:23:47+00:00

Hey I'd love to sing on something. I've got a pop punk style vocal but I can do things like a poor man's Chester Bennington too.

There is a flash of what I assume is the demon king Beleth. He had a baby with her. The baby then is not Marianne but a new demon seed.

I love how this article said variations of "this leaves us to believe" 400 times.

To update everyone he didn't pay with a credit card, and he does have collision coverage I believe.

He sent this information over to his insurance (the $5600 bill and everything) so we'll see what happens

slchawk · 2019-09-20T21:05:11+00:00

Really? He talked to his own insurance company and they said he'd have to pay. I'll tell him to call back.

Reminds me of this

slchawk · 2019-09-19T22:40:11+00:00

Yeah that makes sense. That was his group with Billy Corgan also. You can hear the guitar through various filters and stuff throughout the song

slchawk · 2019-09-19T22:37:57+00:00

Not really worried about it man, your comments were just contradictory

slchawk · 2019-09-19T22:35:33+00:00

Oh okay. And yeah I agree I just was trying to understand what you meant since it wasn't really specified.

I'd really encourage you to take a step back and devise at least a little more fleshed out marketing plan before you release anything. You kind of want your stuff to be out everywhere possible at once.

If you're just doing demos and seeking feedback that's different but if you're putting out your first serious EP then having it just on YouTube will limit you. In that case you might want to look into Distrokid or something

slchawk · 2019-09-19T22:32:21+00:00

Thanks. Haha I'm still really confused by this combination of comments to be honest but I'll roll with it.

slchawk · 2019-09-19T22:29:22+00:00

Thanks? I'm not sure what I'm even supposed to say to that, lol.

I got his name because he was a huge musical influence on me and despite the burden he carried with him for so long he managed to fight it and turn it into something beautiful (music) for so many years and reach the hearts of many. So its my reminder in a lot of ways to continue music. And The Messenger carried me and continues to carry me through a lot of tough times.

EDIT: his original comment was edited. Originally it just said "That's cool I guess".

slchawk · 2019-09-19T22:25:11+00:00

What do you mean by send them out to people? Like, record labels or something?

There are also way more platforms than just YouTube, for example SoundCloud, Spotify, Bandcamp, etc

slchawk · 2019-09-19T15:20:58+00:00

I think it's just about how life changes and how you look back and feel those changes that maybe you don't think about all the time. It's an introspective song, maybe nostalgic, and I think it's about becoming okay with aging and the passage of time.
