A vocal about knowing what is the real deal in living life…
| Lyrics To Know (c) 2008 Paul F Worsham it’s all you and me and everything we choose to see and don’t run to some belief when you could look inside to find your peace you can hear it if you listen so clearly coming through to you and you’ll find at your own speed that you can travel on to where you want to know |
Tech notes: Electric guitar, drum loops, mixed using Sony Acid 7; vocal reverb & slight EQ using Acid 7.
This song is more upbeat, maybe feeling good about doing a song per day for 3 weeks? It’s a bit of early warming to the upcoming Valentine’s Day mood, an international day of love.
Lyrics… further down on the page. The free mp3 download of the song is also available, below the word Attachment.
Tech Notes: recorded using a Voxx DA5 for guitar effects, dry vocals (what, no reverb? The horror! Oh, you forgot…?), Sony Acid 7 running on an HP laptop.
The end of the first 3 weeks of songs is almost here…
This song is a vocal, sort of about a summer romance.
Tech notes: live guitar and vocals, drum loops, Sony ACID 7.
This vocal was inspired a little by Louis Armstrong’s What A Wonderful World… which I had listened to earlier in the day.
Using layered drum loops and original steel string guitar, the song has a relaxed vibe.
The free mp3 download of the song is available below the word Attachment (under the video). (UPDATE: site migration in 2022 did not include mp3’s).
Lyrics
To Fly
you’re here
traveling down low
somebody pushed you there
but you can get up, oh
(there’s)
So many ways, to fly
when you know how to go
you feel and it’s alright
in the wind you may fall
when you’re down, you know
down’s nothing at all
just a view from below
’cause
(there’s)
So many ways, to fly
when you know how to go
you feel and it’s alright

This was somewhat not finished as time was running out… sort of a continuation of yesterday’s theme. The video was a little lazy as well. Optimistic after 18 songs in 18 days that there will be 366 as the year ends. And most of them with lyrics, like the song today.
Song download will appear below, like magic.
Tech notes: same as yesterday, except some of the guitar riffs were loops.
Funny how equipment works when you pay better attention… nice when that happens, too. The song today is longer than other early ones, and is a vocal. The format (songwriter-speak here) is V-B-C-V which is a first for me. Maybe ever?
The lyrics will be posted… or maybe in the members area.
The free download mp3 file should appear below the word Attachment… first I have to trim off a few extra seconds at the end.
Tech notes: same HP laptop (Vista OS) with Sony Acid 7, a Behringer mixer for the mic, guitar effects using a Box DA5, vocal effects using Acid reverb, etc. Epiphone guitar played & recorded live (multiple takes), layered drum loops. Video clips mixed using Windows Movie Maker.
UPDATE: This video was another one posted in 2008 on Blip.tv, which was shut down a few years later. Luckily the video was also posted the next day on YouTube – embedded below:

Continuing on with more electric guitar… with no vocals… and equipment that doesn’t want to always work… it’s song number 16. It was fun to work with the guitar today… but then the input started giving bleeps and squeaks and so the song-making was sort of done early!
The free mp3 download version is available below the word Attachment.
Tech notes: Sony Acid software, HP laptop, DA5 for guitar effects, Windows Movie Maker for the video.
The video this time is hosted on blip.tv, as youtube.com was having some sort of maintenance and uploading was not available at deadline time.
UPDATE: looks like the video was not saved when Blip shut down, including here: blip.tv : Free Movies : Free Download, Borrow and Streaming : Internet Archive. If the song turns up, it will be re-posted.
The original embed code references/uses Flash, so it would not be available now that Flash is kind of gone…

Starting off the third week with the 3rd vocal (depending on what is a vocal!). The song features live guitar, vocals, and layered drum loops.
The free download of the mp3 version of this song is available below the video, under the word Attachment.
Tech notes: HP laptop running Sony Vegas 7, an Epiphone electric guitar (it works again! Yay!). The guitar was run through a Vox DA5, and the vocals worked better dry with the Acid effects to add some “club” reverb and a touch of EQ. (Remember, I am not an engineer, and I didn’t sleep in a Holiday Inn Express last night).
Okay, so now it’s the end of week #2. This song is a fast loop-based song with live vocal interjections overlaid… with a little reverb.
The free mp3 download is available below the video and tech notes.
Tech notes: Used Sony Acid 7, and some loops, with live vocals recorded. The reverb was part from a Vox DA5 and also added via the Acid plugin for audio effects.
(no longer relevant, from 2008 “The video is set up to play in a little larger player than the previous posts.”)
The song today is a jazzy quick piece that features loops of guitar and piano.
The free download in mp3 format is below the video (under the word Attachment).
Tech notes: Done using Sony Acid 7 on an HP laptop (Vista) and some loops.
