OCAU Band

[MrSmoke]

What genre are we all thinking? Id like to learn towards rock/progressive rock/funk. Vote time!

[Deckham]

Tenacious D - style?

[RatcHeT-x]

I'm up for anything, those lyrics work well for OCAU actually!
Can you guys decide who wants what guitar parts etc?

[Paronga]

synthfag reporting in.

personally, I don't like games very much, or geeky nerdy things, so I'd prefer a general theme

actually, we should just be instrumental
or psychadellic
but you know, I'm down for most things

I'll do some lead, maybe some harmonised parts, oh and anything that needs a 7-string

Jump of Faith (lyrics only)

VERSE 1
I see a ghost, standing, waiting to faaall <- TWO BARS 120BPM
A little goose, handing, no one the baaaall

I need to move, now, take me awaaay
Too many hacks, wow, let's call it a daaay

CHORUS INTRO
Jump or fall, leap or craaaaaaaawl

CHORUS
Every time you swallow this, it's a JUMP OF FAITH
Listen to my word or his, it's a JUMP OF FAITH
Dangling by a slender line, it's a JUMP OF FAITH
Ordered into killing time, it's a JUMP OF FAITH

VERSE TWO
Too many left, feet, make me fall doooooown
A little break, meet, me in your goooooown

CHORUS INTRO
CHORUS

INST BREAK/LEAD BREAK (include short drum solo)

CHORUS INTRO
CHORUS repeat and fade


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Change of Heart(lyrics only)

VERSE 1
All over ecstasy flows into my world, as a dawning of a new age fills the world
I only ask one thing as my life is lead away, a chance to see my new battle flag unfurled

VERSE 2

The many years were so kind to us, and we sauntered along times gnarly path
The memories keep my head up high, even as I assess the aftermath


CHORUS 1
A change of heart, is it really for what I stood?
A stray from warmth, is it the only way to see?
Your love came and went, and now it's gone for good...
A change of heart... Is now only a memory...


VERSE 3
And now I look ahead and hope for the sunshine, forgotten are the days when you were once mine
People come and go and a few of them leave a mark, some of them bring light and leave us in the dark

CHORUS 2
A change of life, is there no other way forward?
A drive through pain, away from agony
A new sunrise ahead, I move toward
A change of heart... Is now only a memory...


INST BREAK/LEAD BREAK (include short drum solo)


CHORUS 2 repeat and fade

I just saw this thread and think it's a great idea! I'd love to chip in with vocals at some point, but I'm definitely more of an acoustic/pop singer, I don't know how I would go with the heavier stuff.

Synth gives me a chance to play with my new keyboard

To the end (WIP)

EDIT: Got a couple of verses in but I just had a writer's block while writing out the Bridge...damn it!

Verse 1

Heart’s beating faster
Fists clenching harder
Will this anger go away?

Killing thoughts in my mind,
Words going maligned
Is it here to stay?

Try and stop I dare
Oh we wouldn't care!

Verse 2

Frontal conflicts rising
Verbal insults spreading
Holding off the clash by a thread.

Cursing is ending
Reasoning is failing
It’s going to go til’ one is dead.

Try and stop I dare,
Beating ourselves to death.

Chrous

It had to come to this, it’s to the end
Time to face the foe, one must end
Nothing will stop us now, it’s to the end
One must go on, one must end

Pre-verse

Even when the duel is over, it will only start again!

Verse 3

Swollen head gushing
Adrenaline rushing
Will I overcome the pain?

Screaming furious cries
My face hiding in his eyes
It’s making me go insane

Try and stop I dare
Oh you can only stare

Verse 4

Knockout punch inbound
The oppose crashes to the ground
Can’t do anything like a slave

Fear is showing in his yells
Not my own I can tell
Tempted to make his grave

Try and stop I dare
Forcing his last breath

Chorus

It had to come to this, it’s to the end
Time to face the foe, well one must end
Nothing will stop us now, it’s to the end
One must go on and one must end

Bridge (Unfinished)

And then he pledged for his life
I know he’s defeated
Kept telling me now it’s his time
But why I have to greet it

Instrumental/Solo

End of Song

This is fucking amazing.

[RatcHeT-x]

Alright, now we know kinda what is happening.
Can we somehow put up a poll whether we'd like tech/geek lyrics or not?
And also what style we'd like?

Lyrics: http://www.easypolls.net/poll.html?p...b0f2db9e56b709
Style: http://www.easypolls.net/poll.html?p...b0f2db9e56b70a
That's the genres that have been suggested I think. I cannot figure out how to add a poll via the forums :S

[Royalnine]

So need some aggressive vocals?

Here's a quick demo of one of my WIP songs:

[RatcHeT-x]

Hm, so far the polls look like it will be geeky, heavy rock?

[stuii]

I'm a Trumpeter, can squeal reasonably - shit at improv solo ok at lead lines
just gimme a hoy if needed
