Hey hey, it’s been a while!! Well now that i moved in a new apartment (again…) and i can finally sing without disturbing 10 other roommates, i have no excuses left for not coming back to the project. So I’m back for one song a week and to restart this here’s a brand new song for y’all !!

The Beast which talks about following your instincts and is mostly a reason to hammer two words in your head over and over again until you puke!!

Dont hesitate to leave your comments and see you next week!!

What I like about it:
It has a good energy, good beat, potential to stick in the head

What I’m not so sure:
I recorded every instrument in one day, so its not very tight and also the voice is not timed properly quite a few times.. Im not totally convince of the ending of the bridge

PS: i invite you to visit Jamie Stellini’s blog, she is a girl from New York who just started a blog with the same premise as mine: http://www.theweeklysong.com Its fun to see some other people are attempting this!

Lyrics & chords

The Beast (Animal Love)

C G# Bb

F Bb G C

We walked by the river
Got chocolate ice cream
We scared the two joggers
With the song we screamed

You pushed me over
Cause i was so mean
Hey there feisty girl
Why don't you take it out on me?

CHORUS
I want your animal, animal, animal love
Your animal, animal, animal love
Your animal, animal love
Don't you tame the beast, just set it free

Now you won't surrender
Not that easily
And im not a beggar
So do what you please

But why go against nature
You want it as bad as me
Okay okay touchy girl
Come on and take it out on me

I want your animal, animal, animal love
Your animal, animal, animal love
Your animal, animal love
Don't you tame the beast, just set it free

BRIDGE
Hey babe you say, you say we really shouldnt
Oh no i know, i know we really shouldnt
Your arms on me, i know we really shouldnt
How does it feel, to let the beast break free?

CHORUS

    Hey man, stumbled across your blog and love the concept and execution. I’m doing somewhat of the same thing over at http://skyfidelity.tumblr.com/. Check it…

  2. The Roommate Said,

    After 4 days of constantly hearing the “We walked by the river” line, it’s good to hear the whole thing.

  3. Louis Said,

    hey derek, i checked your blog, you sing really well! actually im sure the roommate here is gonna love it!!

    yeah Vinh, remember that magic day when we walked by the river? i wrote this song for you haha

  4. JP Said,

    Another good one. More I listen it more I like it. Your voice still solid and rich for all the time. There’s a lot of variation in how you sing it. The music line is amazing and transition for bridge is skilfully brought. Good Work.
