Wanna sing/write your own melody?

Everyone has a personal self song tune hiding in their soul.

Here’s an upbeat backing track I put together a while back. Started off with the Bass guitar riff over that GarageBand library drum beat and the whole thing started its journey from there. Added little various keyboard melodies on the AKAI and plugged an electric guitar into a really cheap audio interface. It was all I could afford at the time. It has a certain charm in its capture of rough sounding fuzz from guitar chords.

I never really used this idea for a full song to develop.

I found it today, hidden deeply in a bunch of files. So, as I had headphones on whilst listening, it got me smiling and I started Dad, or actually in reality…creaking Grand-Dad, dancing around and singing nonsense words involving ‘It’s always great when the Sun comes out and blows your mind’ type joyfulness …. whilst creating tunes from out of nowhere. Yes, we had sunshine today.

A thought arrived. I wonder what my blogging friends would creatively put over this chirrup-y music. What inner soul song exists in their minds getting ready to spring out and present to the world.

So…..here you go. You can do what you like over it. Scream, shout, yelp, whoop out loud, sing a lift-you-up-out-of-the-doldrums-melody, a beautiful fun filled melody, howl like a wolf or be-bop a Lula …….. anything that suddenly comes to mind.

As long as it brings a smile hey!

Doubt a ballad would work though!
