Frustrations coming out in this week’s song… i needed to go back to my roots a bit and sing just like when i was 18… i dont plan on doing this very often, but i just didnt feel like filtering anything just screaming whatever i want and not caring about it sounds… but next week will be back to normal style

What I like about it:
I like the verses, especially the last one…

What I’m not so sure:
After the last verse which is very energetic, the chorus seems to let down a bit… also the bridge is not incredibly creative.. some high screaming parts have pitch issues and sound a bit weird

Well once again not too much time to write i’m going to see Melissa Auf Der Maur tonight… As always comments & suggestions are welcomed!

Later

Get Up The Floor

Tuning: One step down

F#m D C# F#m

Pull me in every direction
I told you i wasn't ready
But you know what, just bring it on
Lets bring one of us to his knees

We'll see if i can take this on
If i fall, i'll drag you with me
This scar to remember me from
My gift to you, here, enjoy it

F#m D C#
Im on the floor
Im on the floor
Just finish me off
Im on the floor

Im on the floor
Im on the floor
Just finish me off
What are you waiting for
One quick blow
To end this once for all

I know i wont get any sleep
Thrust the pillow over my ears
With every fingers and I still hear
Your searing laughter and his scream

Just one more memory to repress
I'm not letting it get to me
So bring it on, now i'm all set
Let's bring one of us to his knees

B G D A
Don't stop, don't stop
Get back up
I have to give it all i got

Don't stop, don't stop
Get back up
No fight's ever won giving up

Get up the floor!

Get up the floor
Get up the floor
I'll rise stronger than ever before

Get up the floor
Get up the floor
Through those hardships
Find out who you a a a a a re
Through those hardships
Find out who you
Through those hardships
Find out who you
Through those hardships
Find out who you are

  1. Sisi Lili Said,

    les back vocals sont totalement comme dans le temps. cé rafraichissant. lol!

  2. Sam Said,

    I think that the silences between the cuts in the first part of the verses are too long. It breaks the beat. I like the bridge, it’s really effective. I don’t know if you put a lot of effects on the voice, but in some parts it feels weird.

  3. Louis Said,

    yeah i recorded as fast as i could because i did it in my roommate’s room (since i dont have a room) and i didnt know when she would be coming back… but the good news is im moving to my new place tonight and ill finally have a room to myself and soon get some decent conditions to write and record

  4. jp Said,

    Broadly, the song is not to bad. But, as you said in your intro, it’s like you have some problem with the pitch. The song it’s a little bit out of your voice range. So your voice get quality loses.

    But the things that disturbing me more, is a pronunciation case. All the time, I hear: I “MON” the floor. I think it will be better if you insist in the first part like:

    I’M “ON” the floor…
