Only one? Hopefully the person handling that one part is capable. I hate half-assed clean vocals.

Can I do it? Pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease:waah:

KC!!! Give us the Key!
 
Clean vocals bit is in A-minor Funnily enough (although the keyboard melody is in C#m...) Most of the song is in C#m except a couple of instances in F#m

Edit: Oh and I should expect there'll be multiple versions of the song done with vocals as you guys please. But if you people have the software or the know how, you could always record your vocals to the timing of the song, send me the vocals in .wav or .mp3 format and then I can mix them in. That way everyone could have a part and the song could maintain a quality mix without it being passed on through lower and lower quality formats.
 
Haha, no insult meant - just was refering to the people who want to sing in general, as in those people who will be singing, but (probably) are not right at this moment :p

I wasn't trying to say that they can't sing :p


~kov. (keep in mind, I fall into that category too...)
 
Can i make some backing growls or screams? Or something, I want to sing please! :)

I wonder if DT will publish this song..., no, really.
 
Can't you send us the part that you are satisfied with and we'll fill you in, or maybe we can write different songs and make a couple of them and see if it goes well. Maybe we can make a new one if this won't be any good, cause of the unrythmic lyrics.

While it is true that I dislike half-assed clean vocals and it is also true that my stand on that issue has become a more public one here now, I was not referring specifically to you. I'm not even sure why you assumed that I was referring to you, but, whatever.

If you think you have the chops then by all means sing the clean part. You go girl. Btw, I have not heard your speaking or singing voice yet afaik so this could be your big chance to impress! Question for you, though: Do you think you have soul? I love the voices of certain soul/r&b singers; for example, Aretha Franklin and Gladys Knight. Today's current top popular diva cupie dolls like Brittani seem soulless to me, although I must give the thumbs up to Mariah Carey. That woman can sing like there's no tomorrow.

I don't sing in front of anyone but if I had what it takes to become a performing vocalist I think I'd want to be able to sing like Gladys Knight. Now there's some real soul-driven vocal ability right there, hon. Study her and the other soul and r&b greats and you may hear (and feel) what I mean. ;)

Oh well who knows :rolleyes: :) . Which are yer bands?

I agree with Trit in that it doesn't have to be finished right away. IMO the lyrics should be changed a bit, specially in the first lines, they don't seem very DT like and rather unserious.

Some parts are good, but I'd change a lot, though I guess 'tis not up to me is it?

I'll just say 'definately maybe' to your many suggestions...

Hey, the song will turn out good guys. In my mind it'll be monumental. If you change the lyrics it won't be as organic or as funny. To me this is just a bit of fun. If we actually put creative effort into it, and it comes out bad it'll reflect badly on us as creative persons. If we just slop out a joint effort thing we can all have a good lol and we'll be up for doing another sometime... maybe making our own album... "The Cunts I" Perhaps... or "ProjeCunt"... or "Damage cunt"... or something.
 
Or maaaaybe just Cunt.... It is very modern with short band names with U as the only vowel. Clutch, Rush, Burst, and one swedish band of which name I do not remember.

Now I really feel like writing a melody. We try stuff out I say.

Wildfyr... I was joking man :) Soul? No. Maybe charachter, but no soul. I sing like jazz, rock and choir stuff..

In terms of "taking it to another level" that would be just wayyy too far :)

Hmmm. No soul. Oh well, I guess I'm not really surprised by that answer. :heh:

Please note that I was not trying to imply that you must conform to the soul or r&b genres. The genres themselves are not the important part of the message. I asked you if you think you have soul, which in this case meant: Can you sing cleanly with conviction from the heart (from deep inside)? The comparison to the soul and r&b singers is just for example. Are you able to put some of that kind of power into clean singing? From what I've learned reading tips from the growler vocalists, they stress that it should come from the belly and not so much the throat. That's what I'm trying to get at here. Most of the growlers that I've heard who also try to sing cleanly fall short of this mark with the cleans. One stand-out instance is Åckerfeldt. We all know he has two distinct voices. The growly side demon from hell and the soft clean side, which comes out ALL THE TIME like some fag choirboy. The growls are top-notch but there is no variation there for the cleans. At first this dual vocal ability was all new and interesting to me but it quickly became predictable and boring. One thing I'll give him, though, he can do both very well in the live setting. Others I can think of in relation to this perhaps could use more work/practice. Or maybe they should put down the alcohol several hours before crawling up on stage. They might sing/growl better AND remember all the words.

But all this doesn't really have much bearing on the forum song. You guys are not taking it out on the road, right? :lol: I'm just trying to stress that clean singing should not be forsaken, nor should it be handled by someone who can't handle it. If you can sing with "soul" Tritonus, go for it. If that's the case then someone needs to hand you a mic!
