Re: Let's Write a Sawng (Step 14: Revise the Bridge Lyrics)

[MrsBrightside55]

how come there are videos of pandas sneezing and it has millions of views?! i mean how come this video only has a little over 2,000!?!?! this song is freakin amazing how can this not be popular!?

[CupcakeMuffinFun]

man, this is pretty awesome!!! way better than the original version!! good job!=)))

[dankproducer]

not bad :P

[systemfan2049]

taylor2d2 your music is awesome i will buy the weezer album if this is on it

[JohnL311]

When I got to the moog in the solo I started wondering if you had done research on the instruments Weezer used on the blue album and other older albums because it sounded so perfect!

[JelloTitan]

I LOVE IT! way to go man, perfect fit. I even love the whole keyboard synth part.

[darlajoe]

Okay, this is what I have to say about this.

Wow. Wow. Wow.. and just.. WOW! I love this. You're a genius. I think this fits perfectly. You rule.

[taylor2d2]

thank you very much.

[TwisterCT10]

OMG. Wow. Dude this is the best version of the song by far. When's Rivers' releasing the new video? I think this is totally awesome. Like that could be released right there. Awesome job man. You got a new fan. Subscribed.

[tashnedh]

This is so cool.

I wanna write a song with Youtube people too!

[TwisterCT10]

I know, right!

[muted0]

It needs to be faster!

[lazrpo1nt3r]

...faster than this? He already upped the BPM a bit.

[maximillian999]

Ohh, now there's an idea for the 'OFFICIAL' video...

A funkier one-man band promo

[nathanScreation]

I'm with FMTHbandAZ, the synth definitly brings back the good'ol days of weezer, and it actually makes the song sound like weezer song, not just any goofy pop-rock song with a hook.

nice production too...

[taylor2d2]

Thanks! i like this song bunches and bunches. to me it sounds like a mix of the blue and green albums... the turquoise album.

[nathanScreation]

add some out of control feedback and uber-personal lyrics and you've got pinkertuoise...

[taylor2d2]

then add a cowboy hat and a mustache....

[TwisterCT10]

I think that's basically a greatest hits album, hahahaha.

Oh wait, maladroit still needs to be mixed in there somewhere...

[Gabzau]

I agree with you...it a straight song, very crunchy like blue album and happy and hpeful like green!

You have done a great job with the voices and the moog...

[Incondited]

I really liked the synthesized keyboard part, it's an awesome edition. If you could just make it more, well, simple instead of being stacked upon by other keyboards I think it would really turn in the right direction with how we want the song to sound.

[allieballie14]

This is one of the most entertaining versions I have ever seen. I really like what you've changed. And you're super cute by the way.

[FMTHbandAZ]

i liked your solo well enough that i recommended possibly adding it even after my bridge idea. it sounds more weezer than weezer does. i think my bridge subission was too late. i only just heard about this thing.

[bleed0range]

Hey what kind of keyboard or whatever that is are you using? Just curious.

[taylor2d2]

its an 80s Realistic Moog MG-1

same as on the no doubt tragic kingdom record andmotion city soundtrack.

[Nicko1024]

Awesome revisions, the synth kicks ass too. I like some of the wordy bridges but yeah this really has a major party vibe.

I think its time you grab the 1983 GMC van and take the taylor2d2 trio on the road. ;)

[scottcollins78]

Nice, I like what you've done.

Your version sounds like a real modern Weezer version. Rivers, I think you should consider this for sure. Especially that synth! Booyah!

[snaptheuntitledman]

Or maybe after the first chorus, the post-chorus should be half the length, or even one line - it's like a taster.

That cut back to the verse right away, after "let me hear you shout it"

[taylor2d2]

we're turning up the radio...

turnin turnin.. let me hear you shout it!...

2nd verse...

yeah, that could be cool!

[snaptheuntitledman]

I hate to beat this marvelous effort down but, with the post-chorus doesn't anyone think that it should not appear after the first chorus? I like to be original too but it's kinda like the chorus needs to ride out a couple times before the listener gets another part. The post-chorus is very strong and I think where it is, it sounds almost as if the song is going to end after say 1minute 5seconds.

Having made this point, the post chorus might rid the need for a bridge, or maybe not

[taylor2d2]

i have to agree, but this assignment was to write bridge lyrics... so i did that.

the structure is getting a little crazy...

[snaptheuntitledman]

good call man, forgive me for not mentioning how wonderful the production though but there are not enough characters allowed for that

[taylor2d2]

its all good bra,

I think the golden structure would be:

intro, verse, chorus, 1 measure post chorus, verse, chorus, post chorus, solo, chorus X2, end

[Bryan52]

good job son

[ats5]

nice moog action

[DesecrationSmile2012]

thats awesome

5/5

[laffypaulie]

The bridge is still lacking good lyrics that mean something new to the song. The SOLO RULES

[mazokunomiko]

This is great!!! Love the simple bridge... less is more. The faster tempo really works well, too.

[CameronMaris]

That's a pretty rockin' rendition, man...

[erikj9]

Dude ive listened to this so many times today its so good!

[raistarr]

sounds great tay!! did you get the tracks??

[taylor2d2]

yeah dude i got the tracks, but i was busy working on this :)

I think we'll be able to really get going on stuff once this is over, or if rivers takes another 10 days to respond.

[raistarr]

it's cool, just wanted to make sure you got them and i sent them right.

[mrjubjub521]

nice editing

[fiets98]

LOVE IT! that's what it is i wanna hear!

[1jn]

this is it man, rivers needs to listen to this.

this is the song!

[taylor2d2]

Thank you! I hope rivers gets a chance to hear this one, I'm pretty proud of it.

[songsforsongs]

simply awesome

[rrradioactiva]

Wow dude, this is so good.

This is the first time I haven't absolutely hated the new post chorus.

[JoshuaGodinez]

I have to agree. Even with River singing it I'm not a fan of the new post chorus, but this version sounded good. 5 by 5 high flight.

[lupyank]

Rivers better pick this one cause its the winner!

[Severener]

that was the best one yet! That gave me goosebumps!

[hartkart]

you sir, are awesome

[taylor2d2]

thanks!

[CoreyRobertson2]

WELL... I was going to make a video response for the new bridge, but it'd just be a waste of time after seeing this.

[CoreyRobertson2]

Why the fuck did that get a thumbs down? It was a compliment.

[g0ldfish]

haah nice video and bridge. works well!

[bleed0range]

This pretty much blew me away. ..... *bang*

[taylor2d2]

rad :)

[vaznutz]

Solid. My favorite so far.

[Rindain]

I really like the speed of this version...it gives it this kind of 80's punk energy and anthem quality. Combine that with lisam805's second group of lyrics and we're money.

[stupoop]

wow, this was awesome; and I'd have to agree with lokichippy!

[greatphilipino]

Sweet video and sounds pretty good...however...where's brown for the best Weezer album to date?

[taylor2d2]

sorry sir, I thought three takes would be enough... RGB wha?

[greatphilipino]

"RGB wha?" I am confused friend. But yeah, three takes was good, looks cool. I just felt it a fun time to slip in that Pinkerton is still the best Weezer album...and I would figure if we had to color it it would be brown...that's what color the disc is

[taylor2d2]

pinkerton is a great album.

I feel like weezer albums are almost seasonal.. and pinkerton is winter. Now its summer and summer feels red, green and blue to me. fall is maladroit. spring is make believe.

[lokichippy]

Wow your video is amazing!

Plus I really like what you did with the song- I'm going to be massacred for this but the latest rivers version really disappointed me, I thought the song was getting worse, you've restored my faith though!

[taylor2d2]

wow, thanks! I try my best. :)

[KyoshoBallard]

That was pretty sweet. The music, yes, but also the video. Haha.

[taylor2d2]

thanks! its blue, red, and green... y'know like the weezer albums.
