Songs You've Written

Originally posted by LikeASong:E / Eaug and then a change to the typical G, B7, Em, C progression (just in another order)?!?!?! That's sick!! I'm craving to hear that now!!!

lol Where is the G, B7, Em, C from? I'm only asking because you said "regular."

Now Is Our Time

In your backwards heaven
You’re falling to the ground
If I had a mind for power
You would be safe and sound

If I could rearrange it
The plot of imperfect events
We would only progress
But until then, it vents

Now is our time, to paint a perfect picture
Now is our time, to create a perfect future
Now is our time, to rid the world of wrong
Now is our time, to make it there, take it there

If we looked through the eyes
That have never seen us before
What comments would we make?
How could we be so blind?

Now is our time, to paint a perfect picture
Now is our time, to create a perfect future
Now is our time, to rid the world of wrong
Now is our time, to make it there, take it there

Now is our time, to paint a perfect picture
Now is our time, to create a perfect future
Now is our time, to rid the world of wrong
Now is our time, to make it there, take it there

C, Em, G, B7 (or G, B7, Em, C - the order doesn't matter) is a typical progression, just like C, G, Am, F or Em, C, Am, D. The fact that surprised me is that you switched from a E, Eaug verse chords to that one!! It must sound terrific

Guys, come out through your windows,
he says he's found a bridge to the stars
so meet me in the meadows,
well after bedtime hours.
get out from behind your covers,
before the time comes for lovers.
While we're small let's flee this world.

Open your windows, sneak out your doors.
he's found a bridge to the stars.

A bridge to the stars.
A bridge to the stars.
A bridge to the stars.
A bridge to the stars

No fear of enclosing dragons.
No there's no fear to die,
now there's a great big hole in the sky
Our faces are so small and awestruck
We can't believe our luck as we take our first step on the way.
Though there may be no magic left here,
there's sure some where we're goin'.

Take the first step on
a bridge to the stars.

A bridge to the stars
A bridge to the stars
A bridge to the stars
A bridge to the stars

And the teardrops in the skies
they fall into our eyes,
free us from our pain!
We leave before the black dawn and the dirty rain.

Golden light on the field, there's so much here to feel
such blessed reverie, such glorious life
An end to future sorrow, a goodbye to strife.
Here in the night I make my way on…

A bridge to the stars
A bridge to the stars
A bridge to the stars
A bridge to the stars

I like it very much, Nick.

Thanks Cal! Actually, while I was listening to Windows, I realized that my melody for this song, would actually work with your music. Freaky.

Fall River eh?

I'm moving back to Boston

Oh wow... when are you planing to move? My band is actually looking for a "real" singer. For now, I'm doing the vocals. It's okay, but we all agree that I'm a much better harmonizer.


Here is the highest quality demo that I've shot to date (unfortunately I cannot afford anything better than a regular digital camera )

This is not the entire band, it's just myself. And it's only one verse and one chorus, not the entire song.

In case you cannot hear what I'm singing, here is what I sang:

What if God was silenced? Why would we bother for guidance?
Where do I go for judgment, without a rightful providence?
Our hearts are quick for soundness, but what does hope provide us?

You are my
Fragile perfection
You justify
All of my transgressions
