Nah Think On! by Celtic Cross 30/08/07 Sometime Later on we`ve gradually worked through all the songs below and now have 10 finished and 3 left to do, having decided to do a remix of Dead End corner to utilise the masses of extra tracks we now have available. (BRYNO`S GONE 24) I think if you listen to the DEC already available then the new one you`ll see the advantages of splitting the backing and using the D5 for the drums etc. If you heard the Seige mix with vocals and whistles on the same track you`d know why. It all takes a bit longer to be fiddling about but sod you lot it`s most important that I`m happy with it. Anyway it shouldn`t take too long now to finish the last bits, there is still a few bits of recording needed but it`s mostly mixing now. Biggest thanks go to Brian who as you can see is giving up a lot of time from amongst his own busy life to satisfy your insatiable lust for a new album.
I`ve added a few new pages in the lyrics section containing lyrics to some of the new songs and will add the rest as they are ready. Tracks so far include :- Dead End Corner ; A song inspired by some background music from the video game Ace Speeder. I re-edited the midi track and used samples from the game to create a wacky backing then played thrash punk rock guitars over it. The lyrics explore the psychology of life as a virtual pilot in a videogame, whose only existence is to race these futuristc craft in futile races, no matter how many times they crash and burn they simply regenerate in time for the next joust with death. Magic Number ; We had this tune for ages with no words or direction until Hannah penned some ideas. It grew from there and now it`s a focus on the way our attention is drawn away from issues in our life by the potential escape clause, or Alrightjackitus. It won`t matter how bad the health service is or the state of education when I get the ticket, I`ll be independantly wealthy. It`s a very catchy tune though. Zaps ; Millions of years ago there was a band called 13 Horses Legs and there was a guy who played guitar. His name was Shaun and he played some wild shit man ! We called him Zaps and he wrote the music for this song. Sadly he died so we`ve brought back this song in his memory and have some new words now about making the most of chances in your life. Leader ; A glorious rant at those in command, percieving that the most avaricious and bloodthirsty of any band of cut-throats MUST be their leader. Stilgoesque Punk/Jazz with No Frills. Billy ; Another song about a bloke hanging round with his family following the coffin. Don`t do it message for the suicidal, or a punk rock version of the Samaritans. Why do I Care ; My latest rant at how pointless it oftens seems playing in pubs where the next round and last nights X-Factor are obviously more important to the crowd. Many Times ; Purely album track this. backing in Fruity loops to a nice tune I had, Ian sings my words cos I just couldn`t be NICE enough. Game with no rules ; WOMD What ? Bogle for the 21st C. Superbly backed up by most appropriate sampling. Cooleys and Seige/Clara Polka ; Two instrumentals two give you a break from my ranting. Poundland ; Should have heard this one by now as is was aired FREE on the Stanley`s Back E.P. (don`t have a copy? Remedy that now) Q, No definite answer ? ; Leftover from the FDF recordings we decided to include this but at 7 mins it rarely features at gigs as peoples brains begin to melt. Attention span tragedy.
