Okay, I recorded this song quite awhile back, but right now only have the demo version done, as I have to change a couple of lines in the lyrics and re-do the vocals completely, as they sound way too shallow.
The only thing that has stopped me from doing music the past 6 years is simply not having the gear to do it with. My old computer couldn't hold the software, not to mention it has taken a long time to try and gather the equipment needed to pull off a real recording.

Those of you whom I told about it at LouCon in January and saw how excited I was... well, this is why. I chose this to be the first song under my new recording moniker: "Dead Cowboy Rebellion"
The only place I could put it where it is listenable to most here is on the myspace page, since putfile doesn't like me anymore and deletes what I own copyright to!

This is the first song I got to use my new E-Bow on as well (electronic bow) and is the best recording quality I have ever had so far. Also, the guitar solo was done with a 'whammy' pedal allowing me to shift in and out of octaves and while it was somewhat tricky, I impressed myself with the solo. However, future recordings will sound much better than this since this recording is a few months old, and I have been working on the sound. Next month I will have REAL studio monitors that will give me a much more accurate representation of the final mix.
Just go to the myspace page and if it doesn't autoplay after a few minutes, try refreshing or hitting 'play' on the player. Even if it isn't your style, it's worth a listen.

I'll put the lyrics here, but the one that is definitely being changed for the re-recording is "One more cluster headache and I might be dead" to "might drive me mad" - for personal reasons. I also plan to sing it a bit more agressive since this was basically the test tracking.



"Bleeding, torn inside
My eye is on fire melting into my mind
Breaking my will and beating me down
But this will not kill me
And I’m empowered, by my hate for you

Now comes the winter, the pain grows stronger
How many more times, will the wretchedness come
The drill in my head wakes me up at night

Another night of torment, another blow to the head
One more cluster headache, and I might be dead (might drive me mad)
Gasping for oxygen to stop the agony
This one was twenty minutes, the next might be an hour in hell

AHHHHHHH!!!!!
Sometimes I wake up screaming, with the beast crushing my head
Sometimes I wake up screaming, when will this ever end?
Beaten, worn from time
This curse has blessed me 21 years now
Stealing a part of me I’ll never recover
But this will not stop (end) me
Cause I’m empowered, By my hate for you!"

Peace,
Carl D

great!
