A little explanation might help here: I didn't intend "Wring" to be a song that converts others to vegetarianism. I wrote that song based on some of my childhood memories and experiences since then with how I see people think about and treat livestock animals. It is a song of hatred. I am still pissed that when I was a child I was told I had to eat an animal who was killed before my eyes, or have no dinner. I feel that one of my strongest actions in life was, as a 5-year-old, to choose to have no dinner when faced with that awful choice. I feel that treating animals and killing them in the ways shown in the video is an atrocity, and I am saddened that children are raised not to care. I am saddened that *I* was raised not to care about animals, and no one around me cared, and I had to do all the caring on my own, alone.

I do have one issue with this, though, and it may remind you of something you've tried to help me with a few times. In the stanza... Quote:

Thanks also for the suggestion about changing one of the all's to avoid repetition. I agree with you, but I feel kind of stuck without a solution that satisfies me completely, because I really do feel that a person whom one loves deserves "all" and I don't want to change that, yet if I write, "I've no wish to deceive you when I see I can't offer you more, and you deserve all," then I will have repeated "more" (which I used twice up above these lines...another repetition). When I wrote these lyrics I was playing around with repetition, which is the reason I used "more...more" and "all...all." I hope it will come across as healthy repetition rather than lack of creativity but I understand your opinion completely. I'll brood on it. Thanks again!

"Freethinker" song
Hello MB people,
I finally finished recording the song for the "Freethinker" lyrics that I wrote over a year ago, when I was inspired to create a song about atheism due to my interactions with a fellow atheist here at MusicBanter: http://www.musicbanter.com/song-writ...tml#post823612 This is the second song in which I play my Cheap Chinese Cello, recorded in one of the final tracks that I added. Also noteworthy (to me! ) is that this is the first song in which I attempted a soft growl. A whisper, really...but a little growly, if you listen carefully. I discovered that a full-out death growl (Death growl - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) makes me hack, so I compromised by growling gently: "Freethinker" by Erica * * * * * Thanks for the encouragement, Slj.

With the growls you have to stomach more than your throat. If you create the bulk of the bulk of the rasp in your throat, you end up with it sore or scratchy, and it's harder to keep the sound of it consistent for very long. Learning to use your stomach to make harsh vocals isn't easy to learn, but it's totally worth it once you do.
I haven't listened to the song yet, but I will.

I'll try to make sure I have good air support next time I growl...but I don't know if it will help. The growling makes my throat start to tickle, and then I have to cough...kind of feels like I have to cough up a lung. I had to cough uncontrollably during the Freethinker song, even just from doing soft growling. That's the reason the growling in the chorus stops early before I reached the end! I'll practice.

Much different from what I expected. Pretty dark sound, interesting instrumentals, good vocal harmony... but I don't like the flow of the lyrics and that really made it hard for me to fully enjoy the song. That said, I'd really like to hear more stuff like this from you.
