Honour Amongst Thieves - Original Song

New Song! Celebrate good times, c'mon!

Not so much new, but rather a song I wrote a while back and only now have bothered to record.

*note to self: Start using a different strumming pattern, genius.

Lyrics: if you for some reason are interested.

I've heard of peace during wartime,
and honour amongst thieves,
that tried and tested cliche,
of wind and autumn leaves

I heard the sound of silence,
I've see the living dead,
I believe in all these things but I
don't belive what you just said,

It's unbelievable,
It's inconceivable,
and I don't think you truly understand what you've done, so take my hand and tell me I'm the one

I heard of men with no honour,
and people with no pride,
I heard the grass is greener
on the other side.

Well I've seen hope just a glimmer,
and I've seen pride show its face,
but I know you want me staying here,
right in my place

chorus,

Its not ok to explain away the days,
that I could've been, should've been there for you
But still it's not ok to keep me here enslaved, we've got to find a balance, got to find a way.

Well I cried for a reason,
but I'll smile for many more,
and I hope the next one is seeing you
walk through my door

I've heard of warmth during winter,
but I've frozen in my boots
in the midst of summer,
just cos I was missing you.

etc etc etc

I really love this song Zorrothar. It gently reminds me of the early days of the Beatles. Something Paul might have written. Have you ever considered what treatment to use if it was recorded in a studio? You seem real comfortable with those nice changes and melody. Maybe just a little rushed - well done though.

[Zorrothar]

Thanks very much Larzman2! That's high praise indeed.  I've thought about using my university's studio to record this song in, but not much about how exactly I'd go about that. Any ideas? I think it was a little rushed because i wanted to get it recorded before the daylight disappeared! Thanks again.

!! THE NEW YOUTUBE LAYOUT IS SO BAD, i didn't even see this in my subscriptions box.

i seriously hate youtube for depriving me of this for two days. but whatever. i love it and you.

i had to minimize the window so that i could appreciate the song, otherwise i probably wouldn't have paid attention, just saying. that was a compliment if you were wondering.

but whatever, i put your songs on a quicklist while i'm doing horribly boring history assignments and it makes things a little less miserable.

[Zorrothar]

Glad you found it eventually, and that you like it! I had the exact same problem with subscriptions...sucks!

[FiPfft]

Fantastic lyrics. Oh, and those music bits. All grouse, this song.

[Zorrothar]

Hey thanks!

*quickly looks up grouse in dictionary of colloquialisms, can't find it, assumes it's a good thing*

[PianoComposition]

[mcooley386]

You seem to have stolen your guitar riff from another song and the lyrics are cliched and trite.

[tennisnuts]

reminds me of "semi-charmed life." I liked it man.

If you let your opening changes go around 4 times ( C Em Am Bb F ) in standard tuning adding drums and a killer bubblin' bass line for the second pass.Adding thickener (keys)with a melody lead line (sax or guitar)that suggests your vocal line in passes 3 and 4. Then everyone pull way back for your vocal in the first verse.With the right treatment that would be a good opening hook. Maybe a little rewrite in that part that's different from the verse and chorus with Aug chords. Larzman producer:)
