<title>SHOOT ME</title>

<description>This took about four months to finish, Ladies and Gentlemen. 
  From a simplistic idea to a sophisticated Swordfish-generated 
               lush version that you can now appreciate. 

  Let us know what you think as we are honestly very curious.

You know I’ve been thinking bout the way you look at me
Your eyes are a picture of deceit
I just can’t help thinking that if you held a gun
You’d shoot me dead and run back to the street

The only way to shoot me is between the eyes
Avoid my heart cause it couldn't stand the harm
See me down but let me hope you realise
For all I' ve been through could we change anywise?

Take the bullet out ........ and kiss it sweetly
Cos I’m completely…….. lost in my love for you
The world's shouts so loud…..can’t u stop the sound
Put the pistol down…….. don't bid love adieu 

You know I was thinking bout the way you looked at me
Your eyes were a picture of deceit
You felt my heart beating while t'was pressed against your gun
You took the chance but have you really won?</description>

<description>This one came from my rocker chick daze. It was the wildest adventure tying to get this song converted and uploaded! I hope it was worth it. ei: I hope you like it! It seems the taste on the site is alittle bit hard rock. This is hard core man! =) It's a little long and the lead is a bit repetative, I am no longer with this band nor will I re-record it, so here it is, as is....the only other really worthy backup song on reserve in my recorded music library.....the moment we've all been waiting for lol!!!!!!!!!!</description>

<description>Butch raised hell on several different occasions and inadvertantly caused some life-changing decisions to be made.

This song is sort of different from what I usually do.

Let me know how it goes.

update 5/18: well, it's only been here since May... but I've decided to enter it in the [size=16][b]June Battle![/b][/size] so pleeeeze vote!
thanks

<title>Wanna Get Down</title>
<link>http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/2438.html</link>
<description>A campy, simple little song.  The recording quality is not the best, but hey - we all do what we can.  Looking forward to your honest feedback.

Our band is called Honey - we're currently recording our first full length.  This song is an older, unmixed version...recorded with some former band mates.  When the new one is done I'll pop it up.  Please vote! :D</description>

<title>Melancholia V2</title>
<link>http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/2206.html</link>
<description>The is the first song off the EP. It has a real opening track sound to it. We had loads of takes of the start and ones with a real even chromatic part. But in the end myself and the guy I was recording the EP with decided we likes the uneven sound of the chromatic scales, gave it character.

Of course this was originally called 'Melancholic' but it just sounded lame. So here ya go :)

this song has piano, upright bass, electric bass and vocals in it.


VERSE 1

Welcome to this melancholic town,
she said with a spaced out stare that said everything.
Without anything at all,
But the expression on her face told a tale about the place.

I couldn't run,
And all of the etchings on the walls,
Suggested there'd been no apparent leisure here at all.

CHORUS

You've got a problem,
When you've got nowhere to hide,
And the walls that surround you,
Are the ones you've been assigned.

VERSE 2

Furthermore I'd been talked of here inside,
Before I'd even known I was going to arrive,
I smelt sabotage and treason in the air,
Men in uniform told me what to think and what to wear.

I was trapped inside the body of a beast,
I screamed and gnawed the inside with the edges of my teeth.

CHORUS

You've got a problem,
When you've got nowhere to hide,
And the walls that surround you,
Are the ones you've been assigned.

<title>If I .....</title>
<link>http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/1948.html</link>
<description>This was in my opinion the best effort that was put together by me and my crew of mates in our recording spree. Top notch performances all round from everyone, nicely laid out and well played. I love this tune because it was written by my and my old bassist John @nodge' Buckley waaaaaaay back in the days of our first bands and it somehow lingered on in different forms until we laid it to rest in this recording.

Its a song about regrets i guess. People always come back to me and say something new about it. People get different vibes from it and for that im really glad.

Thanks to Alan on Bass, Shane on vocals,Dekki on drums again and of course Mick my engineer. I say &quot;MY&quot; because he's been with me ever since we started making music, always there to tweek the sound till its squeaky clean. Believe it or not but he gave 4 hours of his life setting up the sound of the lead guitar at the end of the tune. (which accidentally got erased at a later point!OOOOPS) So this one is dedicated to all his hard work over the course of the recording project.

Hope you enjoy</description>

<title>Hold Your Guns</title>
<link>http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/816.html</link>
<description>This one is about war. its my best sad song yet i think. If you listen you should hear that each section of the song is about certain things to do with this marriage and the situation: 1st verse is with a wife at home in the morning, bridge is with the husband out at war, chorus is the connection.
would love to hear your opinions. Cheers</description>

<title>Drift Away</title>

<description>This started out as a reggae tune, or more of a reggae idea, but then, sort of, turned into something... completely... not reggae...

Guess I'll save that for another day.</description>

<description>I wanted to put Falling up here to try out this new mastering fixit software to see if it helps. The first recording had alot of clipping. I ran it thru a declipping
/dehissing/mastering comp/limiter/eq's/stereo enhancer to see if it would help a bad recording mix
please let me know if you think it helped or hurt.
My ears are fried from playing with this too long with the headphones on.</description>

<title>Unchain Me</title>
<link>http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/2318.html</link>
<description>This is a song I wrote while I was with a band called Once a Traitor. This recording was actually finished after I left. Here are the lyrics.

Unchain Me
 
I feel the strain of all the faces I must maintain
Hi, nice to meet you but you're in my space
Another mask for me to keep in place
The bottoms out and my hold is slipping
 
I can't contain a million stories, must I explain
The weight is growing, what was my name
The life I sold you is incomplete
The bottoms out and the soul is missing
 
Unchain me
 
I'm on my feet, the door is open but I can't leave
I'm shackled down by this plastic smile
A pretty face that's built to deceive
I've bottomed out in this painted prison
 
Unchain me
 
I'm fallen, broken, breathless
My struggle leaves me helpless
I'm here again, I'm here again
I bring a life in shambles and you raise this holy temple
On my covered sin, my covered sin
 
Unchain me</description>
