Boy am I late for this week's mp3. I'll have to add another one in only a couple of days to get back on track.
This MP3 is one of my favorites, a demo of a song called "Punch in the Mouth." I have very few fully worked out song demos, because they're very hard to make. They take me forever. This one came out pretty cool, though.
The song is entirely based on the first time I had to break up with somebody. The lyrics are basically putting across the guilty feelings I had. These are definitely some of my favorite lyrics. I really nailed the essence of the guilty feelings without being too specific or pitiful in the lyrics, I think.. Here ya go.
You lent me everything that belonged to you
Now it's all smashed and broken
Can I make it up to you?
When the sun comes out it's a punch in the mouth
If you don't believe me, stay still so I can punch your mouth
Falling in love's the worst thing anyone can do
You might as well just kill yourself before it happens to you
When the sun comes out it's a punch in the mouth
Just to prove my point let me punch you in the mouth
Hahahahahahahaha
Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
No no no no no no no
After you left the room we made fun of you
I would feel better knowing that you made fun of me to
When the sun comes out it's a punch in the mouth
If you don't believe me stay still so I can punch your mouth
When the sun comes out it's a punch in the mouth
If you don't believe me...
Stay still.
I really did feel horrible about it, and the memories of the long and painful break up talk still bother me.
Anyway, the demo: I love the bass line, which is probably the 10th one I tried. It's really fun and bouncy and melodic. My friend Daniel helped me a lot in mixing the song, making sure things didn't clash into each other. The fake electric guitars, harmonies, all that stuff. It's maybe a little too tinny sounding. The acoustic guitar is EQ'd so thin that it sounds more like an egg shaker or something. But ANYWAY, I like it.
