WikiRiffs - Funtrip Records

It's been a long time coming, but I think this turned out pretty well.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funtrip_Records

Just when I promised I'd start getting back into regular song uploads, my macbook screen has had some issues and it's becoming nearly impossible to edit video on. Hopefully I'll be able to get it fixed soon but I'll be editing the Project For Awesome video on K's laptop and until mine's back I won't be able to record songs the way I normally do, so a holiday hiatus may be on the cards.

Lyrics:
We're all young and somewhat indie
mainstream success is hard to make
beginning of the 1990s
Still shooting for our biggest break
I guess we're going independent
Len's latest albums co-released
with No Records backing
and another short EP

We've come so far
we're not yet superstars
but still we're aiming high
(You've got to learn to walk before you can fly)

It's been a Funtrip
And you know that we know how to make Records
Turn us up a little more on your sound board
We've got everything to gain
There's no getting off of this train
It's been a fun trip
and we got what I think we all came for
We're a label that's able to make more
of the music we love

Approached by a major label
We're celebrating our success
We just got this business stable
But we're still excited nonetheless
We're set up and selling records
No Distribution on our side
Getting us to the best stores
and keeping them supplied

We've come so far
we're not yet superstars
but still we're aiming high
(You've got to learn to walk before you can fly)

It's been a Funtrip
And you know that we know how to make Records
Turn us up a little more on your sound board
We've got everything to gain
There's no getting off of this train
It's been a fun trip
and we got what I think we all came for
We're a label that's able to make more
of the music we love

You've got to learn to walk before
You've got to learn to walk before you can fly

You always impress me. Still not sure how you did this with a leprous computer and I was sat next to you as you edited. It's hard for me to pick a favourite because I'm horribly biased...but I want Gothic and Vandal Warfare (surprised this isn't getting more love, but the other choices are awesome too). xx

[WikiRiffs]

@duchessofquirk It was a struggle to edit. You make it easier by being so supportive though. =p

I figure all these are gonna be done unplugged at some point, but I figured I'd ask people which one they wanted first.

[Asswiperable]

I still dont understand why you dont have lots of views. Your idea is genious ! ( possible to get the chords for the song " Fearne Cotton " ? cheers" ) :D

[WikiRiffs]

@Asswiperable I'm working on it! These things take time, and I have a pretty awesome audience right now even if there aren't that many relatively speaking. It's nice to be able to respond to everyone's comments =D

Give me a half hour and I'll DM you the chords for Fearne Cotton. Thanks for commenting!

[gordseahq]

it did in fact turn out pretty well..which actually doesn't surprise me at all..and for my christmas present i choose arden school of theatre..thanks..

[WikiRiffs]

@gordseahq That makes four votes each for Arden School of Theatre and Gates, Oregon so far. I need more voters =p Thanks for the praise!

@WikiRiffs I am not Snub4Snubin I'm a Youtube Community channel starting up to get new youtubers a chance to get more viewers right off the bat, I always love your videos and know that you don't need our help but I figured you might want to be a part of this

[WikiRiffs]

@watchmivideosplz Go to hell for more flames

[geofftech2]

i suddenly find myself wanting to watch some of the old iPod adverts !!

[DukeLongfellow]

Well, I'll say Gothic and Vandal warfare, even though I think Gates will win by the votes so far.

Good work on this one!
