Is anyone good at making lyrics line up with music?

@Bard

He’s probably hung over right now

"Keep your rifle by your side" from Far Cry 5 actually is pretty good

Also he lives on the worst coast

We should totally make something to the tune of Yankee doodle. Return to the roots

@Hellhound6 Hop up in here boi

Ssuuuppp

My country tis of the is never a bad one eithrr

Either*

"ain't I right" is a good beat

I second yankee doodle, I can fuck with a colonial vibe

Swamp Donkey: "Write boogaloo parodies!"
Me hungover as fuck: "Am I a joke to you?"

Hey the IRA song loughall martyrs is a great Duncan tribute base

Everybody listen to that song right now and tell me I can't adapt it to Duncan

^I think I could make that work, I have all the time in the world the next few months. Adapting these songs is actually kind of hard and tedious sometimes to have the end result actually sound good

You take the song, get all the lyrics in a word document, put in the chords at their correct places, then go through the songwriting phase of basically taking every single line and reworking it to speak a different narrative. It's sometimes tricky with songs that have a very memorable chorus, in that you either have to surrender the song to be less thorough or find words that sound very similar and hope they have the same impact.

There are a lot of nuances to doing these parodies/adaptations, some are far easier to do than others.

I would be thrilled if other people besides me started doing these

This song is most excellent and I've considered starting working on it

I love Cumberland gap

@Bard It would be cool if you did one for duncan. I am listening to that song right now

It would be even better if, for each verse, we had lines for a different martyr.

It would be helpful to me for you guys to compile a list like that

As an honorary nod to those who weren't as fortunate as us. Could even mention ruby ridge or waco

I'll get some work on it done today

to quote Soap in the mission contingency on MW2 "Make it count these things don't grow on trees"

If these are the same sort of "Firearms charges" that caused ruby ridge, oughta call the song "2 inches of iron"

In Potomac city Maryland, just a day ago, a boy of 21 there got a taste of federal law

His friends online were waitin', for tragedies to find, the boy of olden Maryland had a brand upon his mind

He dared to speak his mind, his thoughts were his crime

There's a great line in too many martyrs were it says "The country gained a killer, and the country lost a man"

so sad

Alright I'm getting fucking amped up right now

I want to rewrite the song, cut the track, do a dub over so the lyrics sound really clear and nice, then put it under a video slide show of Duncan's life with his pictures etc.

Finish that, post it to PWAVE, good to go

A proper tribute, none of this half assed shit

Hell yeah dude, I'll throw it up for you when you get it all set!
