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

2020-03-14 17:07:34 UTC  

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

2020-03-14 17:16:53 UTC  

^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

2020-03-14 17:19:01 UTC  

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.

2020-03-14 17:21:21 UTC  

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

2020-03-14 17:25:18 UTC  

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

2020-03-14 17:34:55 UTC  

I love Cumberland gap

2020-03-14 17:53:12 UTC  

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

2020-03-14 17:55:00 UTC  

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

2020-03-14 17:55:31 UTC  

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

2020-03-14 17:55:54 UTC  

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

2020-03-14 17:57:10 UTC  

I'll get some work on it done today

2020-03-14 17:57:47 UTC  

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

2020-03-14 17:59:12 UTC  

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

2020-03-14 18:02:51 UTC  

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

2020-03-14 18:02:51 UTC  

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

2020-03-14 18:03:54 UTC  

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

2020-03-14 18:03:58 UTC  

so sad

2020-03-14 18:06:46 UTC  

Alright I'm getting fucking amped up right now

2020-03-14 18:07:39 UTC  

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.

2020-03-14 18:07:54 UTC  

Finish that, post it to PWAVE, good to go

2020-03-14 18:08:04 UTC  

A proper tribute, none of this half assed shit

2020-03-14 18:10:15 UTC  

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

2020-03-14 18:13:31 UTC  

you should add in a line at some place that says something about us boys not being afraid to die, because all the boys will meet us in the after life. Cause we all are mad about this.

1775 anti tax street ballad “What a Court Hath Old England”. Also, The melody is a very popular old one called “derry down” which would serve well for writing new songs to it

2020-03-14 18:28:50 UTC  

Could only post a small segment of the video but you get the gist

2020-03-14 18:29:29 UTC  

I dig it. I think we gotta have some more shidd to rally behind. Music is, of course, the ultimate bond

2020-03-14 18:30:59 UTC  

Indeed!

2020-03-14 19:10:49 UTC  

@Rustbelt Rover a fellow bard! Welcome friend, and a 12 string man, my kind of dude

2020-03-14 19:11:14 UTC  

Used to have a nice Martin 12 but I sold it for extra money when I went to school

2020-03-14 19:11:35 UTC  

Still regret it
