Round 3:

Cartoon Bomb wrote: I will resubmit this with more info...of course I don't expect you to take it up "Basically, the Shaggs wrote sweet little songs about love, cars, and goofy nonsensical crap. It was kinda like the beach boys, but written by 14 year old girls in the 60's. The most challenging part for you would be the music, because it defies everything you've ever known about structure and melody. They cannot play at all. The guitarist usually plays one note per syllable, following the vocals, but not in any scale. The vocals change notes every syllable. The drummer is not able to keep time. It has a haunting vibe to it that encourages lamenting of lost childhood/innocence to the listener.

ex: Concept is something like you sold all your belongings and took a roadtrip across Europe in order to fulfill your goal of finding the best cup of coffee. Could be instrumental or not! (if it does have vocals, I'd love to hear some harmonies in this style: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31kTjszwaDc )

10k wrote: Alt country, epic story-telling track, game boy, some kind recorder (wooden wind instrument, to be clear), guitar and lyrics about a woman who loves a man, but has to leave because he beats on her, or drinks, or has gone crazy from years of "working the land" and it is heaps sad and everything. It must have eight verses, no chorus, but maybe some kind of repeated phrase at the end of each verse, so the recorder can really shine. DID I MAKE ROUND THREE?

I ask because I think you could make this song fucking amazing.

Lyrical concepts: Gregorian chant, in latin (EDIT: latin is optional. You may also use Hebrew, Greek, or Old English. Or at least some archaisms.)

style: Amen breaks

rallyj wrote: Style: 70's Funk

Lyrics: Go for something along the lines about how you were chasing a girl you were in love with, until you finally figured out that you are actually related, and the it just got really awkward between the two of you.

Cesque wrote: Style: Chip Prog Rock... the more different time signatures the better.

Lyrics: Use http://watchout4snakes.com/CreativityTo graph.aspx and http://watchout4snakes.com/CreativityTo tence.aspx to generate them all. Feel free to put whatever you want in the boxes! Edit: Extra points if you run some of those phrases through http://www.translationparty.com/ too

I need y'all to do me a favour again and give me song titles/lyrical concepts as well as a style/genre/some kind of direction for me to start with. I'm not going to look at this thread until tomorrow and then I will use the first 5 usable ideas. Please try to be creative with your ideas and hopefully have them be something I haven't really done before. Also, the goal of this is to write new original material, so no covers (people seem to like to ignore this) or anything of the like.

Once I'm finished recording them, i'll post them up for people to hear in a .zip.
