I almost said goodbye to my favorite hobby...

I was so overwhelm during the time when I learn a quite a lot in programming. I enrolled a course in a popular school just close to the place where I reside. I just realized that I can't be a plain musician through the rest of my life, if i would be, I will bringing down myself and there will be no possibilities and opportunities other than making and producing new lines of lyrics that comprise a song that I will be writing and hear some compliment from other people who hears me sing my own song but they won't give me what I need so I decided to make up my self and face another phase in my life where I will be facing a new things. I am a newbie programmer so you can't expect a lot from me yet when it comes to programming but there's one thing that I am sure of, I enjoy dealing with programming syntax and making a program by myself inside my own imaginary world where everything is possible when I think of it. Doing all these things for quite half year, I almost forgot that I am a song writer, by heart and by head, I am. It turned into a crash when I made a stare on books and brush on them almost everyday and every night dealing with program syntax and logic.Because of this, what's in my heart turned it's point to another stuff so it's quite bloody to me because I have to choose between two lines. But what ever my decision would be, one thing is for sure, I won't forgot my given talent wherever or whenever I maybe.

Two Confidential Vocalist of Saosin Sang Together

You got to see this stuff! It seemed like it is impossible because of the rumors that had been spread out. I think this will end up all the murmurs and false alarm about the former Saosin Lead Vocalist Anthony Green and the recent Vocalist of the band Cove Reber. It has been on the news on the music scene for quite long time that the two main man were having a hard feelings to each other but it's seems like it wasn't true when you see this video.

This video was captured and uploaded by Joppyrocks(part 1) and playswithsquirrel(part 2) on Youtube.com. This song is called "I've been dying to reach you....

Record your song after you write it.

Hello Readers!!! I just want to share my knowledge about recording a song you wrote originally or just recording a song that you want to sing and hear how you sang it.
All you need is a sound recording tools that can record any sound in good quality. If you ought to be a singer most probably you know how to play musical instrument and the very common is guitar. I'm not saying that guitar is the easiest instrument to be learned but what I am saying is that it is commonly use by song writers specially when they don't know how to read notes and they only make songs in a guitar based manner. There are song writers that uses piano to help them marking the notes that they are scoring most song writers who uses piano as a tool for song writing are the ones who knows how to read notes. You can use any instruments that you know how to use. If you don't know how to play any musical instrument, don't worry, you can still record by doing acafella or the manner of singing without musical background or instrumentalists but it's better when you know to play even just one.
For recording you piece, as I said at first, you need a recording tools to make it possible. Right now the most commonly used recording tool is your PC. It is the most affordable recorder which has good quality recording. To record using your PC you must have a recording software to make sense because if you do not have any recording software installed in your PC you can't record at any means. For pro recordings they are using expensive software like Pro Tools recording studio software which costs $90 or some more stuff at the same sort which are also expensive as Pro Tools. You found it expensive? Don't worry there are still free recording software that you can find on the internet. AUDACITY is just one of those. this is also the one that I am using. It is actually great for song recording because almost all of the necessary recording and editing tools are included on it. I can say that Audacity is just a free version of those expensive recording software.
To start recording your song, all you need to do is turn your PC on and install Audacity and enjoy it's free but quality features and I bet you will definitely enjoy this one.

Blues of a Song Writer

I just wrote this article to publish what I feel. I know it's kinda weird to hear it but this is the only decent way I know to express what I feel. You know, when I think of something really really bad or sad, it's never enough to just write it in a song, I still need some other means to get this off my head to ease something hot on my chest. It's just kinda hard to spell it out but I just need to make myself calm and relaxed other wise I might take a step onto a bridge with fast running water on it and just jump off there. In other words, I might go crazy if I won't be able to tell this to someone or just shout it out. I just have to make it clear that I have no hard feeling against someone here, All I am pertaining to is myself. (I just have to make it clear to the advertisers on this site for the sake of our agreement.)

Did you already feel something like you want to tell someone the thing that you can never tell? Or let us just put it this way, you are a writer and you can't write what's in your chest because of some circumstances that hides you to the spell it out or you are a song writer or a singer that have been wanting to make something as your inspiration and you failed to write about it because you don't want to ruin someone's persona. It's very hard to get out when you are trapped to this kind of situation. It's really hard to get over or to find another way to do it because what you really felt to write will be affected and the your write up or your song will be dull or empty.

I won't be surprised if you can't get what I mean to this because I didn't state all that I felt and all the things in my head because of some content restriction. :-) Still, Thanks for reading and trying to understand this post.

Heartfelt Songs and Melodies

When you plan to be a real song writer, you don't just write to make a huge collection of your original compositions but you have to be concerned about the quality of your piece instead.
If you can noticed, nowadays, most of the song writers are no more concerned about what will be the impact of the songs they write towards the people who will listen to it. I can understand them on the other hand, maybe because they only have a particular deadline to submit their compositions or they're are just caught in a rush to finish their self titled album bearing in mind that they won't have anymore time to get on the mainstream. There are lots of reasons regarding the quality of the songs which are made by the professional song writers.
But be that as it may, they have deadlines to follow, is it to rush the making of the song will fit as an answer for that? Do they think that it will be a great hit? Do they think that the money that they will get after writing the song will be equal to the quality of a rushed song? I don't think so, because when a song wasn't made by heart it would possibly come out with a loser quality and not so good tones and lyrics. All in all, a rushed made song will not be a high quality one.
Heartfelt songs are the songs which can be called as the immortal hits because they got all the qualities a hit song must have. Firstly because it is written by heart and possibly it is not a rushed made song. Personally I like what these kinds of song make the listeners feel when they hear them. A love song that comes from the heart of the composer, a rebellious song about someone who wants a real liberty, a song of a child to his mother/father and any other songs that are conveying real meanings coming from the heart the one who wrote
it.

There are Times that It's Just Really Hard to Think of an Inspiration for a Song.

Sometimes it's hard to find inspiration for a song. Take note of this, I am not saying that it's hard to write one but what am I saying is that it's hard to find an inspiration to write one.
I once experienced this kind of situation when I am trying to find something that could make me write a song and yet I can't find even one. I already did everything. I already walked and took my luck on the road just to find something that could make sense to me and finally make me want to write about it but I was so frustrated. I didn't make it. I didn't find one. I also explore my place and I've been to other place but I still can't some something to write about. Yes, song writing is also a sort of journalism for me, you also write what's in your heart and in your head but the only difference is you will be writing it in a form of song. That is why it seems like I'm talking about article writing here but I'm not. Song writing is also a kind of poetry for me but the only difference is that you need to write with tone. Since song writing belongs to those kinds, you have to have even just a single inspiration that will inspire you to write one. Only, there are times that it is just really so hard to find something to inspire you.

Song Writing as a Hobby

Writing song is not actually a mission impossible only if you have talent on it and you have the guts to do it. From the first place it doesn't necessarily that you need to have a great endurance on pain just to write a song, hehe, you just need to give sometime and effort on writing song.
As a student, it's a good mind conditioning to me to write song. It helps me relieving stress when I'm stressed out on school. Maybe it's because I'm a musician so I enjoy doing it. I'm only showing by example that you don't have to take an extra mile to write one. A hobby is not done with stress, in fact it's done to relieve stress or to enjoy some sort of boring moment of your life. Like what I do, programming is my major subject right now so I'm dealing with so much brain twisting stuff most of the time. Because of this I need an ice breaker or else I'll be crazy. So if it's my break time off of school, It's my time to write some sort of song about how I feel and how things went through. Not all of my songs are on this sort of topic because sometimes my songs made from this kind of situation are going to trash can. They are becoming a trash. Although not all the time I am successfully writing nice but I were able to write some.
It's been a hobby to me since my high school days. I don't really know why I really love to write my own song, maybe it's because music is my first love ever since.

If you plan to write song and make it as a career, you have to start it little by little. You will be needing this ebook to make it possible.

What do you use to record your song?

Do you go with an expensive software or you go with a free one? Do you go with the high tech gadget for recording or you go with a low tech ones? There's a lot of gadget nowadays that has something to do with making the audio or music recording process easier. Just like in some countries now, they are now making humanized robots to do the house hold chores for them instead of them doing all those tasks or they have to pay for a real human doing all of it but prone to a lot of mistakes. When the technology bloomed, it took an effect that to the human's behavior and intelligence. When humanized robots comes to reality they took the place of a real human doing it's tasks so the tendency is people will be dependent on what the robots will give them. Why am I taking this as an example? Because this is very related with the topic. This topic has something to do with technology.
A decade or two ago, all of the recording process were hassle. I mean, you have to have all the necessary huge equipments to make a high quality recording. But to be honest, the recording within the era of modern technology is far better than the recording process of the past. High quality recording in the past is just like a garage recording nowadays. Let's take a look and see the difference.

This is a high quality recording some dacades ago:



This is a garage or amateure recording nowadays:



See the the difference? I'm not pointing out the song quality I'm pointing out the "recording quality" of each song which were recorded in different era. The first vodeo were recorded a long time ago using a high tech recording materials during that time and the second video was recorded with just a pc and a microphone because it is just an amateur recording. Now, if you would be asked, which one do you prefer?
Just to share mine, I use this free recording software which I got from the internet. It contains all the necessary stuff for editing and enhancing the song quality. It is called Audacity. You can google search it, just type audacity on the search textbox on google.com homepage. Or you may click here to get directly to the site where you can download the great recording software. Enjoy it's "free" but high quality features.

<---- you can also choose this one if you want to experience a high quality professional recording.

Write short songs and make it a part of your own MASTER PIECE

There's a lot of things that you can actually start from a scratch mostly in arts. For example you want to make a rose from a piece of paper, a fan from a piece of leaf and anything that you can think of can be done easily from a scratch. Would you agree if I say you can also write or make a song from a scratch? What I mean is, you can actually write a song from a what ever you think of. You just have to write anything about what you want to write. For example you feel sad, write something from that feeling. And if you feel happy, write something about that feeling of yours and so on and so fort. Then, at the end of the day, put all your writing together to make a new song. It will be better if you choose on the parts of your writings. It's better off if you felt the a certain feeling until the day ends, that would give you a one topic song but what I am telling you is that even though you are just writing a little every time, you can put them together as one song just like what Greenday does. Do you know their song Jesus of suburbia? Just to give you an insight, it's actually consisted of their different songs they have written at different moments. If you already listened to it it goes with different beats and it has too many measurements and arrangements.

Listen to it first:





If you have noticed it has many changes in tempo and beat because this song is consisted of different piece of songs. This is not a review about a Greenday's song so I won't give much information regarding their song, I'm just trying to say that you can put every single or short song that you wrote all together to make a new song.
