The Wagtunes Corner (Featuring My Best Yet)

[wagtunes]

Cool track Wags. I've never puffed anything, I never thought it was a good idea. I've never been into God either. However, everyone makes their own choices. The music is perfect for the lyrics, dark and evil for the smokes and gloriously uplifting for the God bit. The lead guitar is very tasty.
I think this is the best track I've heard from you.
Well done!

Hey man, thanks for the feedback and the kind words. I enjoyed doing this one. Actually, enjoying doing this whole album.

Hoping to hear more from you soon.

Wow, I don't think I heard anything as heavy from you (guitars and thick bass).
Very clever play on words "Holy smokes" and cigarettes.
Liked guitar solo too. Great job

This is a good song. A bit of a weird concept but I think it could be a Christian Rock hit in the right hands. The vocaloid backing is especially effective here. Nice job.

Thanks for the listen and the feedback. I've done a few things like this but very few. It's not my usual style.

In case you're wondering, the guitars are music lab and the bass is MODO, but the real hero is Amplitube 4. That is one amazing guitar FX processor.

Thanks Frantz. Actually, the backing vocals are me singing through Antares Avox Harmonizer.

wagtunes,
"Holy Smokes"! This song rocks! The most rockin' song I've heard from you in a long time. Instrumentally, everything sounds excellent. And the vocals sound good too, especially when you have multi-layered vocals. Cool song, I like it! Very good audio quality per usual. Both of my parents smoked, and it always bothered me. I never got used to it, so I never had a desire to smoke. No smoking in restaurants in California for a long time. Then you go to Las Vegas, and the smoke is pretty bad.

wagtunes,
"Hoo Baby": right out of the gate this is classic wagtunes with the nice piano. Yep, I could picture this in a music theater production (good). Very nice melodies and audio quality per usual. Good guitar sounds. Vocals are good; very nice fun song!

ha! I thought it was a female vocal, well done with that harmonizer.
I like the drums, they sound pretty real somehow, well done!

Yeah, had plenty in my family that smoked too. Lost a lot of them way too young.

Anyway, thank you for the listen and the feedback on the two tunes. Much appreciated.

I've often been mistaken for a girl, especially over the phone. You should see me in "As The Clone Turns". It would freak you out.

Anyway, thanks for the listen and the feedback. Much appreciated. The drums are MODO drums if you're interested. I think they're the most realistic sounding out there.

In all my days, I never imagined being called a "great" singer. LOL. Thanks, you made me day. I wish I could sing too.

Thanks for the listen and the feedback. Much appreciated.

8th track from my upcoming CD "Stevie W And The Vocaloids Vol 1"

As The World Turns

As the world turns round and round
Oh our lives go up and down
It's a real crap shoot
And a hell of a hoot
As the world turns round and round

We go on each day
Mama tells us go and play
Oh but evil lurks in every jerk
What more can I say

We try to pretend
That the fun it never ends
Oh but evil leaks out of every creep
But we do it all again

Repeat Chorus

Daddy tried to warn
There's a port in every storm
Oh but evil finds ways to mess your mind
Til you wish you weren't born

Repeat Chorus

Instrumental Break

Bridge

Some days you just want to stay in bed
And some days you just want to rest your head
But there's that world just turning round and round and round
And round and round

Repeat Chorus 2x
