Another MIA.
Been doing FYP, and writing late at night.
Anyway I finished this fast song in 7 days; 3 for the music, 4 for the lyrics. 800 words, I almost die. zzz.
Going to stop writing after this. Will be playing around with recording. =)

Wow. Such a long time since I've updated here. Such a long time I even touched the songs. I know I should be covering new material, but well...
Updated 02, 03 and 04 again.
02: The guitar doesn't sound as bad now.
03: Resorted the instruments to make the song flow smoother, especially near the end of the song.
04: Added lyrics.
NOTE: There are some issues with deezer now, so the playlist songs are not working. The files in box.net are ok though.

Well it's not really a song... I sort of gave up on continuing it. And I feel like it sounds abit funny, starting from the chorus.
Well the idea is from trying to make a 'total acoustic' song, with piano and acoustic guitar. But somehow, it became a high song instead of a melodicious song. Is there such a word? Never mind.

This is like the first time I wrote a song every night for 1 whole week... I've been sleeping at 3am every night recently, and late for class every morning, but I COMPLETED the song!
I had originally wanted to leave the song just like it was in the last post, but I saw this article a few days after I posted the previous Double; It said that it's better to have 5 completed songs compared to 10 unfinished ones, which got me thinking. I must say, this article came at the right time =)
BUT, the song itself has no point. As in musically no point... So if you manage to survive the song till the last second then WOOTZ
*** I did learn from it though, so it's not a total waste ***

Well, its kept like that as I'm still stuck at the lyrics, after such a long time... I've decided to move on though, and only write them when the inspiration comes.
Its 1 of my favorites, along with Kan Jian Ni. These 2 songs are like the second level of my writings to me.
Anyways, although the music is up, there are still some unsolved issues. I still cant find a suitable timbre to represent the vocal sound. Well, see how it goes.
There's also the problem at the ending; the MIDI file ends nicely, but the MP3 file got cut off. I'll see what I can do...
At around the 10th-11th second, the piano is supposed to go up 1 octave. However, Guitar Pro, the software I'm using, cant get its pitch there. So I settled for a lower pitch... If I get to record a song one day, I'll fix that. But thats going to be long; I'll have to clear the previous 3 songs first!
Update: All current problems are fixed.

Added Bass for Try and Kan Jian Ni. Not really sure of the final volume of it, so if you can't hear it then uhh, I'll try to edit it.

Finally added lyrics! Take a look from the box above. =)

My 3rd completed song. I feel that this song brought me to another "stage", and made me 'feel' the songs better (?). And its 1 of my favorite works so far. =)
I got the idea from 2 songs: Lian Ai ING and Qing Fei De Yi. Both of these songs used a standard 8-chord which is also found in many other songs, so I was like, lets do a standard 8-chord song.
Some stuffs I learnt from it:
- I figured out better ways to use synthesizers =)
- Learnt an alternate song arrangment? I'm not sure about this. z

Updated the MP3 files. Balanced the song and tweaked abit here and there, but a few beats got cut off during the conversion. Update: SOLVED

Improved the song flow; more power is given towards the end of the song. The instruments are also sorted; now it doesn't sound like I anyhow whack one.
The bass is a little too soft though; I'll fix this next time.

First idea I came out with, but was the second completed demo. Fierce lyrics =) And Obviously it was formed from negative feelings.
The lyrics are there, but no vocal timbre since I don't know how to throw it in. So use your imagination!
Some stuffs I learnt from it
- Rushing a song is not good. I mean, I learnt it the hard way.
- Dont overuse bass.
And yeah, the bass is quite wrong, I admit. z.
The overdrive rhythm guitar as well. Sounds a bit irritating? Hahaz.

Changed the rhythm guitar; now it doesn't sound as awful. And did some changes on the drums, giving an elevation to the song towards the end.
