 Shocked
It's good to set out with some sort of formula.....but.....
First, I got to say that I only started to attempt singing very recently...have never sung in front of anyone in my life...have a very restricted range.....and can't play and sing at the same time!!

My song (In the Studio) you already have.
Rising Sun is fine, but I don't think I have enough vocal range for it.
Mamy Blue, I have never heard of before.

I was hoping we could come up with some *more original* collab material to prove that what we do online can be done in the real world.....if anyone has any ideas to submit.

I had rather thought about suggesting a *live* rendition of Folderol's 'All of my Sunrises'. The possibilities of having the composer to play the melody, with Kara on bass, and a bunch of synth players to make a real *orchestral* build up with a whistle break before the final verse, seemed like a chance not to be missed.

I also seem to remember Marc proposing a piece, some time ago, which would be good for collective live work.

ok lets make compromises  Grin

1. House of the rising sun with Azell
2. Mamy blue with Azell, and a small backing choir for the second voice.
This is a very easy, 3 chords song. I'll post a midi file of it
This will be 2 quick takes to get used to play together and check the whole setup  Grin

3. Folderol's 'All of my sunrises', you can find the song here : http://www.kara-moon.com/forum/index.php?topic=1945.0
A chord chart for this one would nice  Smiley

4. In the studio. A good idea, I forgot about this one  Embarrassed
5 The new version of Folderol's 'here we go again', I've just posted the french lyrics for it.

Perhaps we'll have the time do do another one, feel free to propose. Marc ?

Sounds to me like y'all are going to do a real bang-up job on this.

It's something to look forward to for us less fortunate folks who can't make it.

Cool

Wyatt

Ps..I can't wait to hear Azell sing "Mamy Blue"..such a cool song.

here is the midi file of 'mamy blue'

Thanks a lot..this is the first time I tried to play a midi file in Reason.

So I can import it, but nothing plays until after I assign instruments to
the tracks. Glad I got to mess about with that.

..and I really like this song a lot!

Excellent choice.

Cool

I'm very flattered and somewhat embarrassed that two of my songs are being put forward for this gig. I do hope that doesn't result in songs from others (that are every bit as good) being left out.

Here are the chords for 'All Of My Sunrises' as sung by James, this might not be the best key for everyone (it'll be a pig to play on keyboard). It is F modulating to Bb. I orignally played it as C to F. Of course, the intro and bridges could be changed to suit as well.

Intro
Am, Gm, Gm, C

Verse 1
F, Dm, Gm, C
Bb, Eb, F, F
F, Am, Gm, Bb
Eb, Cm, F, F
F, Am, Gm, Bb
C7, C, F, F

Bridge 1
Am, Gm, Gm, C

Verse 2
F, Dm, Gm, C
Bb, Eb, F, F
F, Am, Gm, Bb
Eb, Cm, F, F
F, Am, Gm, Bb
C7, C, F, F

Bridge 2
Am, Gm, Bb, C

Verse 3
F, Dm, Gm, C
Bb, Eb, F, F
F, Am, Gm, Bb
Eb, Cm, F, F
F, Am, Gm, Bb
C7, C, F, F

Key Change
F, Am, Cm, Eb

Verse 4
Bb, Gm, Cm, F
Eb, Ab, Bb, Bb
Bb, Dm, Cm, Eb
Ab, Fm, Bb, Bb
Bb, Dm, Cm, Eb
F7, F, Bb, Bb

If you have a poem, I have a tune, and we exchange these, we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

Here are the Chords for 'Who Cares' as originally played in Am
The repeating chords I mostly played as different inversions to keep the sense of movement. Also there are small differences between the verses. I'd be quite open to suggestions for improvements here.

One chord I can never work out -  but often use - has the individual notes marked as (FBD)

Intro
Am G F Dm G G

Verse 1
Am Am G G F F G G
Am Am G G F F G G7
Am Am G G Dm Dm G G

Am Am G G F F G G
Am Am F F Dm Dm G G
Am Am G G Dm (FBD) C C

Bridge
Em Em Dm Dm Am Fmag7 G G
Em Em Dm Dm Am Fmag7 Dm Dm

Verse 2
Am Am G G F F G G
Am Am G G F F G G
Am Am G G F Dm G (FBD)

Am Am G G F Dm G G
Am Am F F Dm Dm G G
Am Am G G Dm (FBD) C C

Thanks for the midi file of Mamy Blue.
This could really go somewhere. I apologise for my ignorance, but I have never come across this song before. Do you have the lyrics for it in English?

Wow, I kinda missed a bit of the last two pages. Seems all very cool though and on behalf of Percy and myself, we'd love to play a few of our songs! I'd also like to propose that I play Rendez Vous IV with Moon - he's GOING TO PLAY THAT! Wink

I'm not too familiar with the other songs but I'll see what I can do and - in any case - Percy's a great gig player so I'm sure that he will be able to step in. At least we already know he plays a great House of the Rising Sun! Cheesy

I'm really looking forward to all this!
