Ever since the release of MGMTs album i have been really into electronic style music. I love how it goes back to the 80s and uses synth driven styles that had long been forgotten. Many bands spawned from this 80s revival and I love almost all of them. This inspired me and a friend (who had previously been in an alternative rock band together) to make two songs right before the end of the summer that were really different and interesting. We did all of this on a cheap keyboard and garage band; we had no other recording devices. One song was about getting stuck in the stomach of “metal alligator” (not my idea) and the other is a somewhat comical portrayal of the apocalypse. I also wrote some fun lyrics regarding based on a crash in the Bermuda Triangle and enjoying. The thing I love about all of this music is the quirky persepctive it gives life. When writing I try to uphold this tradition. Below is a sample of what i have written. Its pretty rough but I hope you enjoy it:
Come crash with me
find yourself washed up on the beach
hide the wreckage beneath the trees
I can see it now on the TV
Wake up and feel the breeze
We are trapped ive never felt so free
When the world brings you to your knees
turn your back, stand up, and do as you please
Taste the salt and feel the breeze
Hear the waves crash down upon the beach
Smell the ocean smell the see
I see you and I see me
We keep on living you are all I need
Lay with me on a bed of leaves
oh lord ive never been so at peace
What happens here well it stays
we're staying here till the end of our days
take this ring its all i have
I hope it sticks on you like a leech
we wont have to plan our honeymoon
we are already on the beach
no our big day it wont be much
you play the organ i'll play the priest
you play the organ and i'll play the priest
If you enjoyed this tell me, also I can let you listen to the two songs me and my friend made, he is a very talented singer. We didn’t even bother to come up with a band name so expect a myspace or anything.
