Most of you don't know me, as i rarely post in the forums (something i'm trying to correct). I'm mack, if you didn't know.
My main domain, as it were, when it comes to UG is the chat. I'm a channel operator there(which is basically the equivalent of a mod) and i spend a lot of time there. And that's part of the reason I'm writing this blog. Tonight in chat we had a conversation and the general feeling that came from it was that we all (all of us UGers) need to start showing more love for this home of ours on the net. Why? Because we all use this site and it would suck if it were gone.
for this purpose, i've decided that i wanted to list all the reasons i think UG is great, and i hope that lots of people read this and find reasons themselves.
UG is, was, and probably always will be a community for musicians, that in itself is a great thing.
Need some tabs? Got em Need some advice? Check the forums Wanna talk about bands? hey, forums again Wanna just talk? chat want to learn some technique? lessons want to share your music? Go ahead and upload it to your profile
This wonderful site of ours has reviews, music news, interviews, and even stories to read now.
So seriously guys, get out there and show some love. I'm sure the russians would appreciate it. As a veteran of nearly 7 years, i know i would.
Sincerely,
Mack56 aka mack aka other nicknames people use for me.
For the past couple of months, (basically all summer) i've been meaning to start working on my solo/acoustic project, Butcher the Song. Unfortunately, i've let a lont of things, including good ole fashioned laziness, distract me so i've only made baby steps in my efforts.
Anyway, the main thing i'm doing now is starting to work on a demo/EP of sorts, to give out at shows and whore on the web. Try to get my name out more, because i really like making music and playing music for people.
For those wondering, the new things won't be like what's on my profile now, especially the last 3 original pieces i've put up. Working on music like that was great, because i really like the ideas and it's helped me greatly improve my recordings, but I need to get back to songwriting with lyrics. Lyrics aren't my strong point at times and i won't get better with them by dodging around writing them.
Anyway, Look Out in the next month or so for a new 4-5 Track EP from me.
alright, i'll admit this is a pretty straight-forward, kinda emo/whiney song. but it had to be writen. it's basically me dealing with my feelings for about 3 different people that i've either ignored or never acted on. just my way of clearing out the shelves, i guess.
tentative title: A Way Out
---lyrics start here----- I just want to see you like the first time again I just want to hear your voice like music to my ears I wanted to love you I wanted you to love me
But I can tell, you don't really like me anymore I can feel it in your gaze So just give me some kind of relief from this Give me a way out a way out
I talked to you almost every day, it seems But right now it feels like it's been three weeks You look so pretty in what's becoming my new favorite color You look so pretty all the time
But I can tell, you don't really like me like that I can feel it in your words So just give me some kind of relief from this Give me a way out
Why must it be so hard to understand? This has gone on for far too long My heart is being stretched thin Leaving me empty within
But I can tell, you don't really like me like that I can hear it in your voice I need some relief I need a way out a way out. ----lyrics end here-----
Alright this is a song i've been working on recently, i first came up
with the idea at 2am and i actually liked it. it's catchy. However, i
waited too long to write down all the lyrics, so i'm missing my second
verse. I have to go back and fix that.
You only come to me in the darkness of night and you captivate my mind, completely. Even though you're gone by the morning Your prescence stays with me all day.
Cause you're the only nightmare I can't wait to have and you're the only dream that i can't wake up from
I toss and turn every single night While you play with me, in my mind And when you leave, i can only think Of how i wish you were real
Cause you're the only nightmare I can't wait to have and you're the only dream that i can't wake up from
(this part is a random bridge/verse i threw in) You may be part of my imagination You might only exist in my mind You're not part of the real world But i don't care, no i don't care
(instrumental little passage)
Cause you're the only nightmare I can't wait to have and you're the only dream that i can't wake up from
