Red And White. Good...average...really crap? (lyrics, vocalist, songs)

Thom sings this one...damn him (it sounds better with his voice, but I'm still going to strop). I wrote the lyrics though and the main riff, so you know... Let me know what you think, this one is a bit odd.

Red and white,
Red and white,
It must do something,
It must do something,

Borders and crossings,
Borders and crossings,
Mark where I can not go,
Mark where I can not go.

On routing I depend,
On routing I depend.

2, 3, 4...

These same old streets,
These same old streets,
That glow in the night,
That shimmer in the light.

But I miss you,
Yeah, I miss you.
The c and f,
The c and f.

On routing I depend,
On routing I depend.

My home is a safe,
Comfortable but restrictive pace,
My home is a safe,
Comfortable but restrictive pace,
My home is a safe,
Comfortable but restrictive pace,
My home is a safe,
Comfortable but restrictive pace,

On routing I depend,
On routing I depend,
On routing I depend…

Sshhh, just because I'm odd... >_<

don't repeat, might work

Fenixpunk · 07-27-2005, 11:21 AM

the repeating could work well if you have 2 vocalists harmonizing going back and forth

TheBig3 · 07-28-2005, 07:43 PM

yeah thats not a bad idea Fenix but in moderation. If you did it that way (2 voices) and did it for the whole song, it would come off as a gimmick. Don't focus on rhyming or anything, get a melody and make it stick to that, no matter what you say it will come off alot more, "authentic" than if your force rhyme or in this case repeat. I don't think thats definitly what you were going for, but in case it was...

the repitition was grating.

i like spazzy songs and this has the potential to be cool, but seriously, like Big said, drop almost all that repetition
