"Walking Away" was my favorite track. Best of luck with everything that you do!

Life Sized Action Man
Blizzard, warning, light crashing down on fighters
Attack, battle, determining all of our fate
I feel, madness, it brings me to the new frame
More, then empty, it’s taking from the last one
Car crash, day dream
Pill, taker, see what you could not before
Raging, madmen, go higher than the good ones
Runners, thrillers, make it worth the watcher’s while
Lowest, darkest, unwelcome in the new world
Car crash, day dream
Life sized action man, make it better, never whether
Life sized action man, take it higher, always inspire
Life sized action man, make it better, time for calling
Show, me, what I could do after
Play, me, make me feel so good
Dream, dreamer, don’t put me where I belong
Strange, stranger, please don’t take this the wrong way
New, world, always better then the last one
Soul, lingers, above the heads of all new comers
Blue, light flash, so real, and so brilliant
Wonder, flowing, let lose to keep change changing
Car crash, day dream
Life sized action man, make it better, never whether
Life sized action man, take it higher, always inspire
Life sized action man, make it better, time for calling

Wow, you guys have some great things.
Originally posted by EyesWithPrideB3:Chorus I wrote last night, actually while I was driving home from somewhere. The power was out in our neighborhood, and as I entered the subdivision, the streets were just pitch black from having no streetlights and no houses with lights on...I was somewhat inspired to get this out
Cause Gary's in Decorah
And Terry left for New York
But with you gone, there's just too much to fear
I never thought I'd be the one
To write the song admitting
Everybody's turned and left me here
sort of emo.. I just really like the city name "Decorah", and a close friend of mine named Gary moved there and I thought it would be interesting to use in a song. Also have a friend named Terry who's staying in New York for some time. This song would sort of resemble "Nobody Home" by Pink Floyd, if anyone knows it...sort of a droning synth-orchestra with some piano.
I've got peppier stuff coming too, don't worry

It's intriguing, Nick, but I'm not sure I understand it- what's the "car crash, day dream" bit mean?
"Imminent" is also used in my new song, though not anywhere in the title...this new song...is sort of a crazy idea.
dont think too much about it... (x3)
you and me could work out.
[chorus]
one more time,
slip into dreams of what we used to do
not a minute i pretended
i was left here without you
-
don't let me let you go
i know im trying
i know you're crying
but i'd be lying
if i said i didn't love you
[interlude/quote, set to verse lead-in music]
"you ever look at something one way
and its crazy, and then you look at it
another way and its not?"
[verse]
look here
i've been trying to catch your eyes
used to live there
and it was in them that i died
-
its imminent; its eminent, admit it now,
its right
i know it hurts to know
you're wrong,
that you should be with me tonight
önceden biçimlendirilmiş:
dont think too much about it...(x3)
you and me could work out
[chorus]
[bridge]
ive had too many close encounters
with your imposters
to believe ill ever be found
take me in
get me drunk on you again
at the very least
come back around
[stripped chorus]
[alt. chorus]
(you and me could work out)
one more time,
make those dreams of us come true
i cant break the same heart twice
its all ive got left to prove
-
don't let me go
never tried hard enough
or cried enough
i lied enough
when i told you i made it through
i was lying when i said i didn't love you
"i haven't felt this good in years!"
[previous quote continues to be sample at specific times over this last pre-chorus repetition, which will fade out]
dont think too much about it
you and me is workin' out
dont think too much about it,
much about it, much about it
don't think too much about it
you and me is workin' out

Originally posted by EyesWithPrideB3:Nick, I love the new lyrics- make me question the meaning as always, like a great songwriter will do...keep you guessing new ideas that the song could be about, having it be able to relate to many different things...it's so mysterious, I love your style!
I stole your word, though
It's called "Close Encounters (One More Time)", and if I ever recorded enough songs to be on an album, this would open it...I'm going to tackle recording this one soon. It'll take a lot of work.
It combines a story of sorts (with a personal twinge to it) with some samples of quotes from "Close Encounters of the Third Kind", the Speilberg film from 1977. I was writing the song while the movie was on, and as I was writing certain lines, Richard Dreyfuss would yell something on camera that literally fit the line, and I sort of adapted it to that. It's going to be hard to pull off, but I think it could end up sounding really cool. It's a vision...and hopefully it'll be realized and you can hear how cool this sounds in my head!
Close Encounters (One More Time)"
[intro]
"this means something.
this is important."
[verse]
detour
its the end of the road
humbly sure
ill make the u-turn on my own
-
and the sweet, sweet taste
of dust comes like a drug
it gets me high
floods me with memories
of when i wasn't so stoned

I love the use of technology too; the quotes, etc. I'm planning to do something very similar to that once we start to record "Universe Surrounded By White Walls." . However, it also came with two recording soft-wares, Riffworks and (one other one, which sucked and I forgot the name of)
