New Project: Day 4

What's up berasap, guys. As I've mentioned, I was not able to get the music to go with my rhymes, so I had to put that plan on hold first. So I'm doing something different instead. I'm going to start out by writing 4 lines for a random song, which is what I did below. I replaced the second bridge of the song with a rapping part, but it's only 4 lines. I'll start with a new project soon, in which I'll try to write a whole verse instead. In the mean time, check this out first.

Em A

Ku tahu ku bukan terbaik

Em A

Namun ku rasa kita molek

C G

Sebagai sepasangan

C G

Merpati dua sejoli

Bridge:

Em A

Tik tok tik detak detik waktu

Em A

Usah dibiarkan berlalu

C G

Tanpa ku disisimu

C D

Tanpa ku kekasihmu

Chorus:

G Bm

Setiap kali ku baca hikayat cinta agung

C D G

Tragedi komedi Aku terasa

G Bm C

Seolah ia tercipta menceritakan

D

Tentang kisah kita...

G A

Selalu mahu selalu

C G

Dekat denganmu Saling denganku

G A

Cemburu, resah dan rindu

C G

Bergaul rasa Bila kau tiada...

Em A

Tik tok tik aku tambah rap sikit, jangan buat muka terkejut atau muka pelik

Em A

Sebenarnya memang lama aku rasa begini, kalau kita berdua nampak macam Romi Juli

C G

Sampai orang cakap depan belakang dan tepi, “Cik Abang dan Cik Akak ni nampak sooo sweet!”

C D

Kalah Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie. Sebijik macam merpati dua sejoli

New Project: Day 3

Remember how I'm supposed to play around with my guitar today to figure out the song? Well one thing led to another and I actually wrote a rap part for Elyana's song, Molek, instead. Random, right? Well, not really. Here's the thing.
After spending the better part of the day experimenting with my guitar, I have come to the conclusion that I don't know how to put together an arrangement that won't sound crappy. It'll take a while for me to learn more tricks in finding a right sound, and it (realistically) won't be anytime soon. However, I still feel like writing. This means that this 'new project' of mine would have to go through some changes. So, hurm, if I want to write rhymes, but I'm crap at writing music, what should I do? Take someone else's song, and just rap over it. So that'll be my new goal for this project. Instead of writing a song from scratch, I will find a song, replace one verse and/or bridge with rapping parts, and record myself playing the song.
So there it goes. As an experiment, I inserted a new bridge to Elyana's song, and I've tried playing it on the guitar. Turned out okay, I guess. Will record and upload a video of that tomorrow before I start work on the new 'new project'.

New Project: Day 2

What's up berasap, y'all? Hoho.. Aku tak pernah guna ayat tu kat sini kan? Selalunya cuma jumpa ayat tu kat pemainbolakeranjang.com je. Anywho, my new project is to basically write an acoustic rap song in 5 days. I've been contemplating this for quite some time but just like the procrastinator I am, I kept putting it off. So now my goal is to finish the song in 5 days. Day 1 was yesterday, in which I did some light research on the web. Day 2 would be me writing about my chosen theme sampai lebam. Oh, I plan on writing in Malay. Lupa bagitau. Hoho. Day 3 would be the guitar part of the song. Day 4 would be about combining Day 2 and Day 3. Day 5 would be the uploading part. So, here goes.

Orait. Baju dah bukak. Badan dah sandar. Balut dah nyala. Bermula cerita. Bangun pagi aku best sebab takde keje. Takyah pakai alarm beb sebab kelas pun dah takde. Lantak aku ikut aku bangun pukul berapa. Hari ni cuti doh, ko bingit buat pe? Mandi, lupakan dulu. Laptop yang kena dulu. Layan dulu sejam-dua pastu baru boleh. Siap, siap. Lepas mandi terus makan depan tv.

Layan sial kalau takde keje. Langsung tak rasa stres, buat apa aje. Tiap-tiap hari macam ni pun takpe. Janji kena dulu, uhuk, sepam-dua.

Bila dah petang dan kat luar pulak terang. Apa lagi tunggu-tunggu terus siap ambik barang. Kasut, seluar, stokin dan bola. UiTM ball. What's up, berasap? Turun muka rilek tapi main muka ketat. Member-member, bro. Tak susah sangat. Kita main sesama kita. Kita main biar fun. Sebab camtu ar cara kita buat kawan. Malam lepak minum. Kalau tak larat duduk rumah. Layan laptop lagi, tengok kartun tak pun movie. Pastu balut besar punya buat teman nak tido. Sebab dah takde keje doh. Apa lagi, tido!

Bukan lawak beb tapi memang tekanan. Betul-betul, dik. Bukannya COBAAN.

Ok. Don't know if I can use it yet. Esok try buat lagu pulak. Lusa I'll post the lyrics up. I think. Kalau sempat. You know me. Peace!

New Project

I read that in order for me to start writing lyrics, I should first write about a single topic/issue/theme. Get about one page's worth of words, then move on to the music. Only then should I edit the full page of words into two verses, a bridge and a chorus. This sounds like a really interesting to do. Will use this blog to chart my progress. Hoho..
