"Diamond Eyes" - Josie Charlwood (Looped original using BOSS RC-30)

DOWNLOAD HERE: http://josiecharlwood.bandcamp.com/track/diamond-eyes

This is a video of a live performance of my first Loopstation Original, "Diamond Eyes" (Written May 2011).

The various pedals I use in this video are:
BOSS RC-30 -- This is the loopstation which I use to record, dub and switch between loops.
TC-Helicon VoiceLive 2 -- This is the vocal processor, which I am using to trigger the live harmonies.
BOSS ME-50 -- A guitar FX pedal which I use for the -1 octave effect (for the bassline)
BOSS FS-6 -- The dual footswitch which I use to switch between channels on the loopstation.

The software running on the computer in the background is Sonar X1, which I am using to record the output from the loopstation.

Lyrics:
Diamond Eyes

I will look the same, you will never understand the way I've changed
Still so much to say but you never seem to find the time to stay
Now I've got your words inside my head
With every syllable it's harder just for me to live
And I shouldn't have time for this
Now I've got your words inside my head
And I can never forget, I can never forget no

It's not meant to be
It's not meant to be, not meant to be
Or ever to have been
But all I see are those diamond eyes of yours

Thinking maybe I could be
Everything you see in her
You make my stomach turn
And I would give it all for just a tiny little piece of your world
I would give it all for just a tiny little piece of your world

It's not meant to be
It's not meant to be, not meant to be
Or ever to have been
But all I see are those diamond eyes of yours

I can never forget, and I can never forget

Nevertheless I wouldn't ever have guessed
How long it would take for us to put this to rest
Nevertheless I wouldn't ever have guessed
How long it would take for us to put this to rest
I guess I never really knew what I wanted until I found it and I think that you should know
That I never really knew what I wanted until I found it, now I'll never let you go

Those diamond eyes of yours
Nevertheless I wouldn't ever have guessed
How long it would take for us to put this to rest
Those diamond eyes of yours

I will look the same
You will never understand the way I've changed
For those diamond eyes of yours
Those diamond eyes of yours

What kind of guitar is that ? :)

So I think I speak for a lot of people here when I say, "I'd buy the CRAP out of an album of your songs!"

If you haven't already, you should check out Kickstarter as a venue for getting money together for an album.

Nataly Dawn's project did very well and you might be able to take some cues from her.

I'm betting you have to be 18 to start a Kickstarter project, but you could use the time until your birthday to get a really kick-ass project together.

Cheers and good luck!
