Today I shook it up and typed out an entire song on my Apple keyboard, without knowing anything about what kind of lyrics or melody I want. Can I turn it into a complete song? Fun experiment :-)
Think I'll try to add guitar and some vocals later.
It kinda reminds me of James Bond there for a second, so maybe it has to be about something secret... hidden... I dunno! Time will tell!
Update:
I've got the excellent @kaminokai playing around with this. In addition, I felt the James Bondy vibe so strong that I wrote a first-pass lyric for a James Bond kind of topline. Maybe post that as a new song! Here's the lyrics:
[V1]
The end draws closer
I can feel it
See the shadows grow
Barely holding on
[C]
Hold me close
We're running out of time
Make love
We're running out of time
[V2]
Can't you hear it?
Desperate breathing
My eyes disappear
As we're seething
[C x 2]
Hold me close
We're running out of time
Make love
We're running out of time
[Outro]
Don't wait when the world is burning
Every single second counts
When we're running out of time

@kaminokai sure! Try whatever you feel like
@kaminokai Feb 2022
@theicylakes I like these lyrics. But I may try something different as well or blend. I may not get to the song until the weekend, as I only get about two to four hours a day to work on music. And I am about to start song number 10! :)
@theicylakes Feb 2022
@kaminokai I couldn't let go of the James Bondy vibe, so I'm making a version of this song with that, just for fun too. And let's see where that leads us. Maybe we can combine the two as a corpse kind of thing, which would be in tune with a James Bond song anyyway. The more corpses the better! :-p Hey, you can hit me up at [email protected] if that makes it easier to talk by the way.
@theicylakes Feb 2022
@kaminokai go with your instincts and do what you feel like. That’s most fun!
@kaminokai Feb 2022
@theicylakes Awesome! Thanks! Do you have a title or theme or idea you'd like to hear, or should I just "respond" to it?
@theicylakes Feb 2022
@kaminokai Cool, sure! Here you go buddy: https://www.dropbox.com/s/r7vsivzrhs896st/Day%207%20-%20typed%20song%20idea.wav?dl=0. It's 120 BPM btw. Play around and have fun! Looking forward to hearing what you come up with!
@kaminokai Feb 2022
@theicylakes Aye. I could take a run at it. See what I come up with. Can I DL an AIFF or WAV of it somewhere?
@theicylakes Feb 2022
Thanks @xfloorpunchx! Wanna try doing something with it? :-) Too many songs, too little time, so collabs are great!
@xfloorpunchx Feb 2022
That's a really cool beginning! Can't wait to see what you would do with this solid base.
@theicylakes Feb 2022
@kaminokai Let's steal it together... ha ha. That didn't make sense! How about we turn it into something weird together? :-)
@kaminokai Feb 2022
I'd love to see where this goes. It's really cool. I want to steal it! :)
@theicylakes Feb 2022
@kaminokai Maybe it needs to be called Final bond then! :-D
@kaminokai Feb 2022
James Bond meets Final Fantasy. Nice.
@theicylakes Feb 2022
@lissielou79 Thanks! Yeah, gonna play around with it and see where it takes me :-)
@lissielou79 Feb 2022
I think this has lots of potential for sure. I reckon it could be turned into a really cool dance tune. Get some cool beats behind it, then see where it takes you. Cool
