NIghtYear

Almost finished with it. I just need to finish writing the lyrics (because I've crossed out a lot) and recording the vocals.
...Okay, so maybe I'm not that far, but cut me some slack! Science is just draining me right now. Hopefully tonight, I can write a little, but I have to wake up at 8:30 tomorrow, so I don't see that happening.

Okay, I'm going to bed because I am wiped out. I'll try to post tomorrow with more updates, because you can bet there are some!

New Song Ideas and Stuff

Ok, so you all know I'm famous for going from one thing to the next just like "that". Well, this makes no difference!

I'm going to step away from "NightYear", just for a while. I'll get back to it. Right now, I'm aiming towards more rock-oriented compositions (that won't require me to have to try to play them on guitar!). Plus, I need to write more! I feel extremely unprepared, and you can imagine how that feels. Think of it like this: Since my recording studio is my room, I am working all the time. I make all the rules and goals (and I also pay myself to rent my own room out for a few hours!), and I am becoming dictator of myself. That's not good, because then anything I try to make will sound bad.
And now that you don't care anymore, I'm going to stop stressing out and write. Goodnight and have a pleasant (not tomorrow SNL fans!) Ice Day!

Space Fillers

Just finishing it up As I Type. There's this bridge in the end that I don't know whether I'm going to keep or not.

...I just listened to it. I guess I'll keep it in, even though it's a little weak. Well, that's 3 down, 11 more to go!

Now, this is present me. I might be scrapping T.Y.R.-rany and Don't Want to Be. The only thing keeping me from doing it now is that they both have a little potential. I'm definitely going to finish the former and save it for another time, but I don't know about the latter. It might be a lost cause.
I've also been working on a song called "Space Fillers". I'm planning to include it on the album, but right now the song's a little on the weak side, so I might not go through with it. I'm also toying with an all-vocal song (think "Hide and Seek" by Imogen Heap) called "Nightyear". There is also a song in the works of being written called "Raise Me Down". Lots going on, but not much progress being made.

All my past posts

I just got this, and I want to put all of my earlier entries from another site on this one, so bare with me!

September 26, 2006

Population: ME! is released!!!

October 10, 2006

New EP in the making: Covers

Progress for Только Дурной Сон has been Post-Poned. I want to study more of the Russian language before I dive in to a whole Russian album. I have to say, Опасная Зона shows my mediocrity in Russian! Instead, I'm changing the date to sometime next year!

I have decided that TheDangerZone Part2, still going to be released in March next year (hopefully), will have more songs since I will have more time than I had in TheDangerZone! That means, you can expect a lot more from me!

November 7, 2006

I finally finished the Covers album!!! It's really kool...kinda!

November 30, 2006

Guess what? I GOT ANOTHER COLD!!! Work on the Christmas album is gonna be delayed... jk don't have enough time to do that. YAY SNOW DAY TOMORROW!!! K so I have 5 out of like 20 songs finished for TheDangerZone Part2! So Exciting!!!

December 3, 2006

I'm thinking of doing a music video for "Popularity" and "TheRantSong"! Christmas album is coming along fine!!!

December 6, 2006

I wrote a song for the Christmas album. It's called "Christmastime Again" You can listen to it here++

Also, I want to make a music video for "Exploit the Truth". If you don't know what I'm talking about, look on my MySpace. I have to do it during the winter because the snow is part of it.

January 12, 2007

Well, I hope that it snows again so I can shoot "Exploit the Truth". If not, w/e. I also want to do a music video for "Nothing (TheRantSong)".

I think I'm gonna finish the self-titled album that got destroyed a year ago! It has "Back Off!" on it.

My summer album's gonna be called "The One Where I Make Fun Of You!". It's inspired by "Nothing (TheRantSong)" from Population: ME! It's gonna be fun and offensive at the same time.

I finished my Greatist Hits collection thingie. More details here ++. Talk to me at school if u want it.

January 18, 2007

I have a new song!!! It is definitely gonna be a single for "TheDangerZone Part2"! It's called "Twisted". Click here to listen to it. ++

February 11, 2007

Only 5 more songs 'til I'm finished with "TheDangerZone Part2"! Hopefully I can release it by the end of March, with a single that I want to sing for the TalentShow. If all else fails, I'll just sing "Twisted". After this album's done, I get get to focus only on "The One Where I Make Fun of You"... and possibly a self-titled album, but I'm having doubts about that one. I really want it to be funny, you know? "Population: ME!" had that bite-me attitude. I want this to be a real shocker!

February 17, 2007

I found a whole bunch of songs that I sang when I was in 5th Grade! I think I'm gonna make an EP out of them!

March 26, 2007

Ok, so I have 16 songs and 4 left to go (for TheDangerZone Part2). I will be introducing my French and Russian skills! Check the website for updates. ++

April 5, 2007

I HAVE 2 MORE SONGS TO GO! Both of them are my foreign language ones. WOO! I'm hoping the album can be released by this Tuesday. It will be the official release date!

My two summer albums will be "The One Where I Make Fun of You" and "So Called Friends".

I don't know when I'll release "Опасная Зона Два". Probably by the end of the school year.

April 14, 2007

I finished "TheDangerZone Part2"! Claps for me! Anyway, the release date will not be, I repeat, will not be April 10th. DUH! It's gonna be this Tuesday, April 17, 2007. I PROMISE! I will also have a seperate page for it by Tuesday because it won't be "not released".

Now, I'm going to start on, hopefully, a very short "Опасная Зона Два". Good luck to me!

July 15, 2007

Sorry about the lateness of this post.

I've decided that the "So Called Friends" album probably won't happen. Instead, I will be coming out with an album called "Reconstruction." But don't worry! It'll have a lot of the same songs as planned on "So Called Friends."

I'm not going to be making "The One Where I Make Fun of You," at least not right now.

July 31, 2007

Almost finished with the track list for "Reconstruction." I have two more songs to go. The list will be posted on the MySpace ASAP and on the web site once I get Dreamweaver again. Here's what I have right now:

1. So Called Friends*
2. The Mall^L
3. Part of the Truth^L
4. When it Rains
5. ?"Don't Piss Off Luke"?"Very Pissed Off"? (Title undecided)*
6. I'm Not Sorry
7. Silence
8. Reconstruction
9.
10.
11. Will I Fall?
12. Bring it On

August 31, 2007

Wow, I'm very picky! I've scrapped pretty much all the tracks I've made for "Reconstruction." That may be bad. But I am planning on keeping some of the songs I hadn't started yet. Here's the track list right now:

1. So Called Friends
2. The Mall (May be scrapped)
3. Part of the Truth
4. When it Rains
5. ?"Very Pissed Off"?"Don't Piss Off Luke"?
6. I'm Not Sorry
7. Silence
8. Reconstruction
9. (Untitled4Now)
10. The Truth About Boys and Girls
11. Will I Fall?
12. Bring It On

I really want to do Opasnaya Zona Dva, but I may just put some Russian tracks on TheDangerZone Part3. The new DangerZone will probably be a little different. Instead of a lot of songs being about me, it'll probably be about other people. It just depends on how I'm feeling when I'm writing.
Here's the track list if I decide to do Opasnaya Zona Dva (Actually will be called 'Неве.Живот.'):

1. Ничто не изменял (Nothing has Changed)
2. Идиоты США (Idiots of the USA)
3. Не жалею (I don't regret)
4. Предатель (Traitor)
5. Наш мир кончает (Our World Ends)
6. Ты не можешь... (You can't...)
7. Убегаю (I Will Run)
8. Тебе Всё Равно (To you, Nothing Matters)
9. Я меня (I am Me)
10. Неразумные мысли (Silly Thoughts)
11. Злые люди (Evil People)

Also, I do plan on releasing a Christmas album this year. It will be called "Christmastime Again." So, look forward to that. Here's the track list:

1. Christmastime Again
2. Sleigh Ride (maybe)
3. (Original Song)
4. God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
5. I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Clause
6. Why Can't It be Like This All Year?
7. Wonderful Christmastime
8. What Child is This?
9. Original Song
10. O Holy Night

September 22, 2007

Still working on the albums. I have finished one song for "Reconstruction": I'm Not Sorry. It has this really cool string part in it. I'm really excited! I also finished a song for the Christmas album. It's called "Il est né, le divin enfant" (He is risen, the divine child). Progress is a little slow, so sorry!

October 11, 2007

Finished two more songs: "The Mall" and "You Can" I now have an official track list, so check my not-released page. I'm going to make an official page for "Reconstruction" soon! I've made a few changes to the line-up, and added a new song. I've also changed "Christmastime Again" a little bit, but I don't know exactly everything I did, so I'll get back to you on that.

October 12, 2007

Just finished "Reconstruction." The song, not the album. That still has a little way to go. Hopefully it'll be done by the end of October. Ok, now to the changes in "Christmastime Again."

2. I Won't (Ruin Your Christmas)
3. Il est ne, le divin enfant
4. (the same)

October 13, 2007

Just finishing up "Silence." Today was a busy day. I also finished "Will I Fall?", and boy am I tired! Not really. I'm going to try to write lyrics and come up with a title for the first track and write lyrics for "Don't Think."

October 16, 2007

I finished "Don't Think". It's a little raw, but I like it enough. So that's it! It's just a weird and cool song.

October 28, 2007

4. Real

6. Dreamer
(Gen. 37)
7. I Wish I Knew
8. Anything
(Php. 4:6-9)

10. At Last (I Owe it All to You)

3 More Songs to go!!! So excited!!! Might have to extend release date to November 7.

November 7, 2007

I'm finally finished! Reconstrucion is done.

November 18, 2007

I have two versions of O Holy Night, with strings, synth, and piano, or a capella. Still deciding which one to include on track list and which to make a bonus track. You're going to get both...somehow.
Track list got changed a little. Instead of 10, there'll be 8 or 7. I just don't want to overload myself since I'm in Honor Band and the school play now.

November 25, 2007

I have an instrumental of a song titled "Too Destructive". It will be on TheDangerZone Part3, definitely!

December 22, 2007

I finished "Christmastime Again" with 2 days to spare! I'm so happy. Here's the tracklist:
1. Chrismastime Again
2. Santa Clause is Comin' to Town (Composition)
3. Il est né, le divin enfant
4. Santa Knows My Name
5. Sleigh Ride (Composition)
6. Commercials
7. The First Noel (International Version)
8. O Holy Night
9. O Holy Night (Bonus A Capella Version)

January 14, 2008

Happy Be-lated New Year! I have a new song ready. It's called "Plastic People".
1 down, 13 more to go!

January 18, 2007

Remember that song I mentioned in November, "Too Destructive"?. Well, I wrote lyrics for it and finished recording it today. I've decided to make it the intro to TheDangerZone Part3 because it's not a full song (to me), but the other intro I had just didn't fit as much as this song did. Plus, it sounds really cool, played forwards or backwards! Seriously!
I think this track and "Plastic People" really show how I've changed and moved more into professional-sounding music! go me.

Here is a tracklist for TheDangerZone Part3:
1. Too Destructive
2. Don't Want to Be
3. T.Y.R.-rany
4. Plastic People
5. Une Heure de Plus
6. Perfect Rejects
7. Tebe Vsyo Ravno
8. Space Fillers
9. Why Them?
10. Les Différences
11. Those Are Mine
12. My Protector
13.
14. The End

January 26, 2008

I am currently working on T.Y.R.-anny and Don't Want to Be. They should be finished by the end of January. I would post the songs on here, but everything's going to be secret (except for the tracklist) until the release. And since I'm the only one, the secret will be successfully kept. I guess I could put a little clip on my site...maybe!
