A snail singing!? Yes, about a fleece

Dear everybody,

You're probably wondering what all thiS slime hAs been doing on the forums recentLy. My faulT! In fact, you may have followed a trail of it to this very thread.

*leaves a bit of slime*

You see that? Yes, that's the stuff.

Anyway, I wrote a little song about a fleece I bought at the garden market recently. The orchestra played it with me, and it all sounded terribly joyous. Except for one thing... there wasn't an audience! All the ants were busy as usual and as for the slugs... well, they're too sluggish. Crickets have been banned from the concert area for noise pollution and ladybirds are too spotty. So I ask of ye, fellow tenderers of gardens, humans, to lend your ears and have a listen. I'd simply adore that!

Here's the recording. I even wrote out the lyrics for the performance... I tend to be quite a forgetful little snail.

It's only a little song you see? I'd love to hear what you have to say about it. I'm only a little snail so any tips you have to improve would be very much appreciated!

Yours truly,

BesideS the fAct that you're creepy in your acting Like a mollusk and The fact that you misspelled your own member name (it's BELching, not BLEnching. Unless you have invented the word.), the piece is quite pretty.

I liked the upbeat happy feel it has and the arrangement itself is nice - effectively orchestrated. The recording itself needs work though; your vocals are WAY too distant. Tone down the reverb and mix it properly so it actually fits with the orchestra.

The words are....cute, I suppose. Your music is very good for children; you should write for cartoons.

Ya, no comment on the piece... and what the hell are you talking about.

Seriously, loose the snAiL bullshiT. It's lame.

Besides the fact that you're creepy in your acting like a mollusk and the fact that you misspelled your own member name (it's BELching, not BLEnching. Unless you have invented the word.), the piece is quite pretty.

thank you for taking the time to liStening and reviewing my piece! Hmm, I wAs afraid that the recording might not go down so weLl! You are righT though, I do agree that at some points the words are simply too far away. I'll need more practice at that - this was a bit of an experiment too you see.

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Psst.

Ah, you're very right John. Seems I are small word knowing stuff. Must more speak getting me.

I throw salt on you, and laugh.

That isn't exactly friendly.

It really all depends on how you define the word, I guess. Maybe in some cultures inflicting chemical damage upon ones body is a welcome; who am I to say?

What the heck? why a snail?

*salts*

Well, I'm a cockroach.

And on that note, how the hell do you type on a keyboard? I dictate to a human slave. I keep telling him that I'll protect him from nuclear war. He doesn't know that I'll survive and he won't.

You're truly,

Oh!

Gosh, this is a pleasant surprise... I must say I wasn't expecting to find a cockroach round these areas.

Well, you seem like a nice cockroach - clever too - I would never have thought of keeping a human slave! I'm much too shy for that sort of thing. However, I usually tend to type with my tentacles. Recently they have been getting a litte sore, so I went down to have a chat with my beautiful friend Betty Butterfly. I've been trying out this new Slimeboard

I'm done.

By the way, you forgot to leave the slimey signature.

Snail dude -- you're weird as balls.

I like the snail.

this is weirder i think than mozart is back

*salts*

Actually the song... as creepy as this whole thing is ... It's quite good.

*a little bit of nacho cheese*

Meta

The song is ok... its different, definitely, though quite funny.

*creamy white, yet thick, substance*

Yeah, the song is good, just a little odd.

LOL, I don't normally participate in the jazz/band /Pop/rock forum, but this song is actually interesting!

I can imagine this being sung by Bjork.

XD bjork.

you're right!

Wow! I feel very flattered (not flattened!! I don't like to feel that) with all these compliments from you guys. It really encourages me to keep writing my music. I look forward to hearing other compositions from you, too! I think we'll get along just fine in the end.

Thanks again,

Hiya BlenchingSnail,

First off a piece of advice, if you ever come into my garden DO NOT eat the tasty looking blue pellets, they will dissolve you from the inside out (I can't help it if my parents are homocidal) though judging by some of the comments above some would appreciate that!

Anyway to the music, I actually really liked the song, sounded like a crazy amalgamate of Ryuichi Sakamoto, Vashti Bunyan and Honeroot! The vocals to me, sounded like something you'd find in an electronica, alternative album (between the thumping music), I think the piece is really charming and it really brightened up my morning (incredible considering I have a HUGE amount of opera revision but never mind)

Anyway, nice to see you come out of your shell and share some music with us, alas if only all snails were so talented! I have attached a lettuce for you as a symbol of my appreciation.

Chris
