epii Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 This is a tune I wrote after watching the animated Disney movie "Inside Out". I love the blue "Sad" character. I used a flute-y instrument as a vocal guide so as not to forget the melody if I ever get around to finishing the lyrics and singing it. Just insert the word "sad - ness" when the flute-y thing comes in after the intro and everywhere else that melody occurs (there are many of them)... like this; "sad - ness blah, blah, blah, blah, blah..." Writing lyrics is not my favorite thing. I mix in my studio grade headphones.. I know, I know shame on me. So any comments on eq and levels would be much appreciated. Here’s a Soundcloud link, or you can play the uploaded mp3. -Rick MP3 Play / pause JavaScript is required. 0:00 0:00 volume > next menu sadness > next Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sepharite Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Wow very cute lol. I can definitely see this in an Pixar movie! Great melody, chord progressions... have you tried writing musicals? I think you have a knack at writing songs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epii Posted December 4, 2017 Author Share Posted December 4, 2017 Thank you Sepharite for the kind words. I've not tried writing a musical.. wouldn't know where to begin seeing as I don't read music. But kind of you to suggest it all the same. :) This song drew on my love of Gilbert O'Sullivan and his "choppy" piano style.. I love his music, and also The Beatles, especially the "Penny Lane" trumpet solo. I'm a huuuge Beatle freak! Thanks again! You've encouraged me to post another piece. -Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
