My first fully produced song "Decisions"....

Well I produced my first song last year in June of 2006. The song is called Decisions. I think the lyrics explain the song and the meaning behind it. Basic break down of the song is that everyday in life we are face with difficult choices. Sometimes things are always clear, and we pretend to be something we are not or something that we can't maintain. Trying to put up this false image. This is just the chorus. There are many messages in the song. If you want to know more about the song you can pm me for more details.

Here are the lyrics for the song:

There comes a time when there is no neutral,
And you have to ask yourself,
Are you going to hunt,
Or be the hunted.

Now we must fight / in this battle,
Our paradise we live in / has been rattled,
But to how far / do we extend this fight,
Saying we know what we're doing/ is right!,

Time and time again we are faced with these decisions,
To hunt down our prey or hide and to be the hunted,
Why is it so hard to make clarity out of this world,
For what we are is an image that can't be held.

When it comes down to it, it comes down to survival
We are no better than animals / facing their rivals,
For the strong will survive / and the weak will fall,
The price we will pay / is the greatest of them all!,

Time and time again we are faced with these decisions,
To hunt down our prey or hide and to be the hunted,
Why is it so hard to make clarity out of this world,
For what we are is an image that can't be held.

Now we are constantly being watched,
Knowing we have to make the right move,
For if we don't...
The world will come crashing down...
Spelling our doom… Spelling our doom… Spelling our doom!

Time and time again we are faced with these decisions,
To hunt down our prey or hide and to be the hunted,
Why is it so hard to make clarity out of this world,
For what we are / is an image / that can't be held.
Oh noooo....
It can't be held.
Ohhh ohhh...
It can't be held. x4
oooohhhh

Here is a link to my song on my myspace site.

Let me know what you think about the lyrics themselves and then the actual song as a whole.

The video for this song will be released Feb. 19th after Katsucon.

Just as another note I just wrote the lyrics for this song. I did work with the band on the music until we found the sound I liked for the song. As I described to them the mood and feel of the song I wanted to have.

Another note is that I'm not actually apart of the band. I work on amv's for them that I release online here to try to help spread their name. So I try to make one video for them every so often.

It's horrendous. The guitar work is unoriginal and less-so impressive. The drumwork is repetitive and boring. The vocals are a mix of turpentine and vomit. The melody of the song makes me grimace, and the lyrics are utterly generic and without real direction/dimension.

Congradulations. I believe you have a radio hit.

Agreed

Shows you how blind you are to not understand the true meaning of the song.

There is obviously more to the lyrics than meets the eye.

First verse: The lyrics look okay on paper by themselves, but put it together with the melody and the flow is just off. It feels like the accents are falling on the wrong syllables half the time, and while you expect to hear that kind of thing in eurobeat where the vocalists don't speak English as a first language, it really seems jarring in a song like this.

Also, is there ANY way to control the volume of these embedded songs on Myspace?

Before I make MY opinion I would love to hear it first!

You mean it doesn't automatically play in the browser when you click the link and his Myspace page loads?

OR, it shows what a terrible job you did to convey the "true meaning" of the song. Don't play that horse shit game with me. You asked for an opinion, don't get snotty when that opinion isn't praise and glory when you put out garbage.

You know, I haven't listened to the song, but just reading the lyrics, it's like it's the words to a song that'd be used in a Rocky montage.
