NOIR?

Some time in 2003, I've worked out a song which was heavily inspired by the movie "Dancer In The Dark". It was slow tempo, accompanied by an acoustic guitar and self-not-worthiness kinda shit but what the heck?...

If Eddie Hamid can write sappy and trashy shits without feeling guilty, then why should I?

So on with the songwriting. However, I have this ritual where if I can't write anymore words for the song or thinking of another chord to ensue then it better stop there before it becomes another Dream Theater song.

Some time last year (2007), there was a project for a short movie which I "shamelessly" offered the movie maker to play it during the credits. He agreed and with the help of Mr Mic Wrecka of The Rebel Scum, we recorded the song.

I did the vocals and guitars while Mic Wrecka added all the bass and cello (it sounds like one) and some effects using his "beats" expertise and technologies. The sad part is... the song gone nowhere since the short movie project did not materialize due to some technical reasons. Bummer!

Again, what the heck? Curious on how it sounds like?... Take a listen...

I like. Very high production values. Nice little pentatonic minor solo.

b, this song is really reflecting bjork's character, pain and misery in that movie.I am not sure bout your lyrics, but the melody is distressing for sure...

Hehehe. You are correct Bo. Only pentatonic and I couldn't improvise that any further...

Let's wait for the redo version where we'll get our own Tojeng Frusciante to strut his stuff, eh.

Mrs Acai - the lyrics are so full of misery that'll make Eddie Hamid sounds like Earth Crisis.
