Great news everyone, another super single was just released by Genox. This time around, it appears that we’re going to have a ride through the red deserts of Mars! So enjoy the stunning “Various Shades Of Red“. 🙂
There’s music I like, there’s music that can make me happy, and then, there’s music that can take me to the 7th heaven. Well of course the last category is the most difficult to find. That’s why when an artist who can create that certain kind of music, releases a single track after a period of absence, that’s definitely the cause for some serious excitement on my side! 🙂 Wonder what I’m talking about? SURPRISE SURPRISE people, Genox just released a new single! YAY! I’ve been listening to this same track over and over and over again since last night, and I have absolutely no words to describe it. I might have said “incredible”, but that just doesn’t cut it. So check it out for yourself, and experience the effects of “Various Shades Of Blue“. 🙂
Update: Ok it seems like Genox just uploaded a whole bunch of his tracks, which you can access through his blog. So… check it out! 🙂
The new James Blunt album, “Back To Bedlam”, truly amazes me. There’s not a single track in this album that I don’t deeply enjoy. I really hope that he keeps up the awesome job. Specially now, with my current mood and..well.. thoughts and mixed feelings and all that, this album has been a life saver. Here are the lyrics for one of my favorite tracks. Fits my feelings so well right now.
“Tears And Rain”
How I wish I could surrender my soul; Shed the clothes that become my skin; See the liar that burns within my needing. How I wish I’d chosen darkness from cold. How I wish I had screamed out loud, Instead I’ve found no meaning.
I guess it’s time I run far, far away; find comfort in pain, All pleasure’s the same: it just keeps me from trouble. Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray. I’ve heard what they say, but I’m not here for trouble. It’s more than just words: it’s just tears and rain.
How I wish I could walk through the doors of my mind; Hold memory close at hand, Help me understand the years. How I wish I could choose between Heaven and Hell. How I wish I would save my soul. I’m so cold from fear.
I guess it’s time I run far, far away; find comfort in pain, All pleasure’s the same: it just keeps me from trouble. Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray. I’ve heard what they say, but I’m not here for trouble. Far, far away; find comfort in pain. All pleasure’s the same: it just keeps me from trouble. It’s more than just words: it’s just tears and rain.
First of all, a note to the guys and gals who asked for the Distillery photos. I’ve now posted a few of those in my phlog. Just for you. 🙂 With regards to amv’s comment on the last post, the Demovibes website seems to be up and about now: www.demovibes.org What else….oh yeah. In my on going scene-music diggage, I finally found…well… let me try to explain to you what I found. The Assembly 2006 freestyle music competition happened on around 7:45 of a Saturday morning [Toronto time]. So I was half asleep when the competition started, and I was watching the web-tv on my notebook in bed. I remember hearing this fantastic song that took my breath away, but somewhere in between my struggle to open my eyes and a silly stream blink, I ended up missing the song info. So now after going through almost all the competition entries, finally I found it. “When Time Stands Still” by PK, check it out. Also, I know that some of you have already discovered this, but if you haven’t, make sure you check out “Aufgewacht Und Tee Gemacht” by Genox. [Ummm…”Woke up and made tea”?! I just hope I got the spelling right.] I’ve been listening to this about 10 times a day recently. One of the best that I’ve heared from this artist so far. Absolutely brilliant. These 2 tracks speak directly to my heart. <3 <3 :> And that’s about it for now……
Update: Umm Guys…there’s a new comment on the first part of the display report that you might like to check out. 🙂
Since this seems to be the topic of the week, I might as well create a new post and share some news with you. A whole bunch of you have been asking for the soundtracks for a couple of Vantage demos. And it seems like some of you are not much for waiting. 😀 Anyway, I just captured the soundtracks for “A Simple Way” and “3 Cows Ahead” [click to download]. As for how I did it, well “3 Cows Ahead” is an avi so it’s a simple matter of an audio extraction. However, I tried a whole bunch of extractors and played around with whatever options available, but the result is never perfect for some reason. Specially the beginning of this one sounds far from what you hear on the avi. Keep in mind the fact that I’m no audio expert anyway. :”> So if you know of an extractor which could do a better job, please let me know. “A Simple Way” was of course a different story. I came across this demo capturing software called “kkapture 0.01” a while ago (on pouet.net BBS). It’s an easy to use application which does a pretty darn impressive job capturing both the audio and the video. So I used this to capture an avi of the demo, and then did the same mp3 extraction. The resulting audio quality is rather good. So…enjoy, and I’d certainly appreciate any bits of technical info that you might wanna throw at me. :>
Update: Wheee! Amoivikos [amv] of ASD has just posted a comment containing some very interesting information regarding a number of great scene tracks. Check it out! Always the best info, does this guy rule or what? 🙂
Update: Sorry guys, there is no full version of the “3 Cows Ahead” soundtrack. It was never finished.
Hmmm…for some odd reason it appears that a whole lot of my friends have never heard this one, which happens to be one of my favorites. The video clip for this track is also one of those which is always running at some corner of my mind. Reminds me a great deal of “The City Of Angels”. So why not share it with you? I’d be happy to know what you think of it. 🙂
And the lyrics: Green light, Seven Eleven You stop in for a pack of cigarettes You don’t smoke, don’t even want to Hey now, check your change Dressed up like a car crash Your wheels are turning but you’re upside down You say when he hits you, you don’t mind Because when he hurts you, you feel alive Oh no, is that what it is?
Red lights, grey morning You stumble out of a hole in the ground A vampire or a victim It depends on who’s around You used to stay in to watch the adverts You could lip synch to the talk shows
And if you look, you look through me And when you talk, you talk at me And when I touch you, you don’t feel a thing
If I could stay… then the night would give you up Stay, and the day would keep its trust Stay, and the night would be enough
Faraway, so close Up with the static and the radio With satellite television You can go anywhere Miami, New Orleans, London, Belfast, and Berlin
And if you listen I can’t call And if you jump, you just might fall And if you shout I’ll only hear you
If I could stay… then the night would give you up. Stay then the day would keep its trust Stay with the demons you drowned Stay with the spirit I found Stay and the night would be enough
Three o’clock in the morning It’s quiet and there’s no one around Just the bang and the clatter As an angel runs to ground Just the bang and the clatter As an angel hits the ground
Ah…I really do love this song.
Also, on a completely unrelated topic, Amoivikos/ASD had posted a link to this very interesting video clip in the comments for the last part of my report. I’m going to post it here, since I believe not many people will get the chance to see it over there. The video offers some good information about the Demoscene. [Thanks amv :)] And by the way, if [like me] you’re not a German speaker, don’t freak out, there’s English subtitles. 🙂
Update: Ok peeps, looks like another discussion thread just opened up on the comments for the part 6 of the report (Vantage related), you might wanna check it out.
I just watched Nickelback’s latest video for “Savin’ Me” and I enjoyed it immensely. An interesting idea indeed.
Savin’ Me – Nickelback
Prison gates won’t open up for me On these hands and knees I’m crawlin’ Oh, I reach for you Well I’m terrified of these four walls These iron bars can’t hold my soul in All I need is you Come please I’m callin’ And oh I scream for you Hurry I’m fallin’, I’m fallin’
Show me what it’s like To be the last one standing And teach me wrong from right And I’ll show you what I can be Say it for me Say it to me And I’ll leave this life behind me Say it if it’s worth saving me
Heaven’s gates won’t open up for me With these broken wings I’m fallin’ And all I see is you These city walls ain’t got no love for me I’m on the ledge of the eighteenth storey And oh I scream for you Come please I’m callin’ And all I need from you Hurry I’m fallin’, I’m fallin’
Show me what it’s like To be the last one standing And teach me wrong from right And I’ll show you what I can be Say it for me Say it to me And I’ll leave this life behind me Say it if it’s worth saving me Hurry I’m fallin’
And all I need is you Come please I’m callin’ And oh I scream for you Hurry I’m fallin’, I’m fallin’
Show me what it’s like To be the last one standing And teach me wrong from right And I’ll show you what I can be Say it for me Say it to me And I’ll leave this life behind me Say it if it’s worth saving me Hurry I’m fallin’
Say it for me Say it to me And I’ll leave this life behind me Say it if it’s worth saving me
Yeah ok…here iz the complete lyricz 4 “Out Of The Woodz” az some friendz had requested. And about the artist, actually both Nickel Creek and Sinead Lohan have their own versionz of the song; I have absolutely no idea which one iz the original and which one iz recycled though. Here goez: I wish you out of the woods And into a picture with me I wish you over the moon Come out of the question and be If this is gonna run ’round in my head I might as well be dreaming Run ’round in my head I roller coaster for you Time out of mind must be heavenly It’s all enchanted and wild Just like my heart said it was gonna be If this is gonna run ’round in my head I might as well be dreaming Run ’round in my head I wish you out of the woods And into the picture with me I wish you over the moon Come out of the question and be If this is gonna run ’round in my head I might as well be dreaming Run ’round in my head If this is gonna run ’round in my head I might as well be dreaming Run ’round in my head I might as well be dreaming Run ’round in my head I might as well be dreaming Run ’round in my head If this is gonna run ’round in my head I might as well be dreaming
