Forsaken

Yay! We've finally finished composing our second song. Afiq came over at 8.30pm to practice the new song. He brought his guitar, and I showed him the lyrics I made.

After listening to his melody I figured that the lyrics I made won't mash, so I decided to re-compose it. After hours and hours of figuring how to mash it... the moment of EUREEKA!!! finally came.

We figured out a new melody that fits with the guitar chords. Awesome!

We don't know what to call the song yet. After listening to the lyrics... he decided to call the song "Forsaken". But it's a work-in-progress kinda thing.

The first song we composed was called "Fairytale Ends Tonight" and we performed it at the Yamaha Asian Beat competition the other day at Qbar, Sunway Pyramid. It was ok, xcept for the fact that the people there didn't really like the type of music we play. They're mostly old people, so of course they wouldn't dig our indie/punk rock style. But the younger kids there enjoyed it. They even sang along with us. How'd they know the lyrics? It's simple.

Our chorus, we just repeated the words. It's catchy so it ain't hard to follow. That's the whole point of us creating the lyrics that way. Catchy tune with catchy lyrics. Well, for us its catchy but obviously for all those Heavy metal/Jazz/Blues fans-a-roony, they didn't really like it. Hmmm..
At least the kids did!

We didn't win, of course. But it's a good experience. I like performing in front of crowds. The adrenaline you get from the nerve-wrecking feeling of performing in front of a big audience rocks. Apart from our inexperienced vocalist, we did ok. She should've rehearsed more, I think. She sings off-key sometimes. Which is ok, I suppose, since that was her first ever gig. Many more to come.

Prom for SMKSS17 is coming up. Our band will be performing. Hopefully our new song would be finished by then so we could perform both of our songs there and see how the audience react towards it. Think positive. Think positive. Woo-sah.

BAC Gala Night coming up, too. When is the audition? They didn't tell me. And the dinner is on the 22nd of December. Sigh. I hate it when they plan last minute like this. Makes us feel that we're left in the shadow. When's the audition???

If we don't get it, what's the point of going to the Gala Night anyway. The other collegemates ain't going, so why should I? Humph.

Anyways, I gotta go study now. Afiq was here from 8.30m til 12.00am. I didn't have time to study because before Afiq came, I was too busy downloading songs into this stupid laptop. Lagging nak mampus!!!!

Adioz!
