2 Singles! Plasticity is complete! Full version! [Dec 18/08]

[andre8]

Hey, are you gonna make money and sell it on iTunes for 99 cents?

[Calaway Park]

I just took a poll between my friends and most of them said they really like the deep creepy echo in the background, but I did tone it down a bit.

 

But you guys seriously need to here this version of the song, I just made it INSANE, I added a NEW dance break whisper-verse after the chorus and I chopped up the chorus and gave it some crazy repeating hits and broken lyrics.

 

 

Putfile is being stupid, sorry!

Very plain, very short, very ordinary.

BRAND NEW SONG!

I'm working on 2 songs as of now, Plasticity is my second single, Lively is my first single. Rather than uploading them at the finicky, rarely compatible Putfile, I'm going to now upload both of them at the same link using an [awesome] service called drop.io

Both songs are there, they have high quality audio too. Please check them out! I'm very proud of myself with both of them.

^^He's 15. For that age, I think he's done a fantastic job.

Thanks! What'd you think of Plasticity?

[DATman]

^I enjoyed it till it reached the transition where you slowed the tempo of the lyrics down. It was awkward and didn't fit the tone of the song well.

[Kalepi_Konei]

I liked plasticity up until the "Hearts can never beat....something...plasticity." It was really cool at first and I liked it.

 

As for the cover, it looks like a bad myspace photo gone wrong.

 

And for the Lively song the only things I have against it right now is the first time you say "tonight" in the song it kinda fades out, I'd fix that.

 

Also just tweak the deep voice in Lively just a LITTLE less it still takes over just a TAD.

 

Other then that these songs are pretty good.

 

P.S! EXTREMELY IMPORTANTE! My moms sitting like 5 feet away from me and she cant understand the words so try upping the lyrics and articulating more to make sure its all right.

Thanks for the advice! I understand what you mean about the not-being-able-to-understand-the-vocals part of Lively, but I intended for my vocals to, rather than standing alone, going against the melody to become a part of the melody. Rather than making Lively more dependant on the vocals I decided it'd be best to have a song that contrasts the style of music, so then I came up with Plasticity, which is a far more lyrical song that depends much more on my vocals than Lively, and it's pretty clear what I'm saying.

 

I do like the little break in Plasticity, where my vocals go all light an airy with the lack of beat, my friends like it too and so do my parents, but I totally respect your opinion. I'll try to fix the deep voice a bit more but I really, really like it and so do my friends. I think I'll keep it the way it is- I hope you understand!

 

Thanks for listening!

Just take off those glasses on the album cover and I like it.

[CoasterExpert13]

As someone who also makes their own music, I really enjoyed both songs, but more-so Plasticity...Was that a vocoder or auto-tuner you used to alter your voice in the song? What program do you use to make your songs? I'm currently using FL-Studio 8. Anyhow, great job!

 

P.S. One of my favorite things to do is make album covers...so if you ever don't feel like putting one together, let me know!

It's an effect that splits my voice into keys. And I'm a graphic designer, so I'm designing my album art- but thank you so much for the offer!

The full version of Plasticity! I've completed the song!

 

As for what application I use, I just use Garageband on my Mac. =]

 

PS: Instead of double posting, I decided to delete the previous post to post this one, as I figured a complete song is worth a new post but I didn't want to double post- hope you understand!

 

8 days left until my heart beats again

Now, now, now, I look like them, them, them.

Hospital, want it all, let me fall

Botox, robots, conscience is small.

Television is my vision

ice cold, body trippin'

One night stand

Somebody else in your

bed every night.

Fall into my little plastic eyes

and I'll love you with

my plastic heart,

 

Plasticity

Plasticity

Dance with me

We'll be barbie dolls together

Dance with me

Plasticity

Plasticity

Dance with me

We'll live on eternally

'Cause plastic never dies.

D-d-dies, dies.

Plasticity ty -ty -ty -ty -ty- ty

Plastic City ty -ty -ty -ty -ty- ty

P-P-Plasti

C-C-City. ty -ty -ty -ty -ty- ty

Hearts can never break

when they've never beat, beat, beat

 

Glitz and glitter all over my skin

Lipo, have to be thin, thin, thin

Hollywood's always good, understood?

Detox, robot, We knew you would

Incision decision

Lift it or tuck it in

What is the plan?

Me and you

In the room every night

Fall into my little plastic eyes

and I'll love you with

my plastic heart,

 

Plasticity

Plasticity

Dance with me

We'll be barbie dolls together

Dance with me

Plasticity

Plasticity

Dance with me

We'll live on eternally

'Cause plastic never dies.

D-d-dies, dies.

Plasticity ty -ty -ty -ty -ty- ty

Plastic City ty -ty -ty -ty -ty- ty

P-P-Plasti

C-C-City. ty -ty -ty -ty -ty- ty

 

Holla at you Hollywood

You know I love you...

let's be friends.

Just kidding... ew...

Plasticity...

 

DANCE WITH ME!

 

 

Those are the lyrics for the song! Just as a note- the little snide comments at the end are not what I'm like, I'm playing a character for the song, just so people don't take me as like that.

Amazing! You are going to be big some day if you keep producing this ingenious art. I love your stuff so much and wasn't sure if there is anyway I can get Plasticity as a ring tone for my phone. Any ideas?

[Anfronee]

I completely agree with Rob. How can we get this as a ringtone?!

[coasterdude5]

Do you intend on singing these songs live someday?

[Wes]

Not trying to be a wet blanket on the love fest, but I don't really understand why you guys think these are so amazing great. They pretty much sound like they are, a kid doing an okay job with tinkering around in Garage Band. It's not hard to make the drum and synth loops, they made the program so anyone could easily do them. Sean, I think you show a lot of potential, but I'd work on trying to make these not sound so manufactured and computer generated. Most good electronica (in my opinion) doesn't have that "sounds like it got generated in a free program" vibe.

 

Also, I'd totally stay away from vocal effects. It's like when you see someone use a lot of cheesy transitions when they are first learning to edit videos, it's seriously distracting and seems like you're using it as a crutch. Kanye killed auto-tune, let's all move on.

 

I think it's great you are putting your stuff out there, and I would encourage you to continue, but I have to be honest when I say I don't think either of these are very good.

Thanks for the advice, I appreciate that! And I don't have very many vocal effects on in Plasticity, I have the auto tuney effect on but it's not on that heavy. I do really like them though, the artist I'm most inspired by is Lady GaGa, and if you don't like her music you probably wouldn't like mine, haha.

 

I don't know if you realized this, but I didn't just use pre set loops, I made them with my keyboard. Thanks for listening, though, I appreciate your advice.

 

PS: Sounding totally computer generated is what I wanted

You guys can use Plasticity and Lively for whatever you want, I'd appreciate the "helping me get out there-ness."

 

You can also hear the new song I'm working on there, I really hope you enjoy it, I think it's my best yet.
