<description>My interest in music really didn't take off until 1987. I would have ben about 14 then and my mate did me a tape of G'n'R's Appetite For Destruction and Metallica's And Justice For All. I was blown away by this great new (to me) sound I was hearing and my love for music has grown deeper and wider ever since. I now can boast an interest in many different styles of music although for me dynamics, emotion and depth are the key factors in my enjoyment of any piece, whether it be classical composition or industrial heavy metal.
I took up playing the guitar when I was about 17 or so. I wanted to learn Metallica's Nothing Else Matters so I bought a cheap guitar and amp and it started from there. I'm self taught all the way and to this day my love for music far transcends my abilities to perform it but I love to try and I can't help myself.
At age 19 a few of my mates and myself formed a band and we jammed about a bit for a couple of years playing a dozen or so gigs in the process. We recorded a demo in a little abandoned church somewhere in Wales which, unfortunately, I have since lost track of. From what I remember it wasn't all that good but it felt great to have gotten something down on tape.
Since then, I've never played in a band again and, having moved to Scotland, I've lost contact with all my music buddies back down in Kent (where I'm originally from). I've met very few musicians since I've been here and those that I do meet have interests and styles too far removed from my own to consider planning a project with any of them.
 But, all is not lost. I got my first PC about 3 years ago and have since rediscovered my latent passion for writing and recording music. With a few basic bits of equipment I am able to put together fairly decent sounding stuff and, while I'm learning and, hopefully, improving all the time, I'm loving every minute of it. Working by myself I have none of the problems of personality clashes or musical direction issues which are inevitable in the band scene and if/ when something sounds crap I have only myself to blame :)
Discovering BandAmp was a real coup. Having somewhere to share my music with others around the world- to have the chance to hear others' opinions on what I'm doing, having the opportunity to learn from the many talented artists who inhabit the site by hearing what they do and by learning what they have to offer in the hints and tips department is magnificent and is something which I feel must be nurtured and looked after. This site is innovative and original in what it is and I would very much regret being without it.</description>

<description>The strangest chords I ever came up with, not intentionally, though. The song idea is about 4-5 yrs old but it was redone a couple of months ago into this version. One slight problem you might notice is the drums - I think I might have used the same pattern for this song and GRUGE. It's just that my wave library is very limited. 
Please tell me what you think about this song.</description>

<description>Hey guys, we just recorded this in my apartment.  It's a song off our recent album.  We're called MARULA.  Check out our site at marula.ca  Enjoy!

Btw, the vocals start in the middle of the song and I hate mp3 sound, so if any of you know how to make the best of it,  tips would be appreciated, thanx.  Usually I export in wav format.

<description>Some girl in a book once said to me that airplanes are actually carried across the sky by angels and that all ugly skirts should be burnt. I experienced something that led me to believe she might be right. Therefore  this song was born.</description>

<description>Finally! It works! this is quite seriously my 6th attempt at getting this song to load and play. Well done Chester. Well done.

Yes, so this is an old song... but has always held sentimental value with me :)

Check out my other stuff, I load another 2 songs today. A piano one, and then half a song... because i lost the other half... long story.

Seems a lot of people are adding lyrics. So I thought I'd put mine on a couple of songs :)


VERSE 1

So you’ve run away again?
And left nothing in your place.
Except a shadow and a sin,
Etched forever in your space.

PRECHORUS:

Than she turns to you and smiles,
At where you’ve been.
And says life ain’t,
Evergreen.

CHORUS:

Come fall down,
Get blown around.
You’re a leaf up in the air,
And it’s the autumn of your year.

VERSE 2

Well time is coming round the bend,
It seems you try too hard to smile.
And it’s only near the end,
That you find your inner child.

PRECHORUS:
It’s always,
Inbetween.
That you find life ain’t,
Evergreen.

CHORUS:

Come fall down,
Get blown around.
You’re a leaf up in the air,
And it’s the autumn of your year. X2

OUTRO:

You’re a leaf up in the air,
And it’s the autumn of your year.
Your year.

<link>http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/1462.html</link>
<description>This song was written in three stages of my life (sad ones), so the song is actually a vomit of my soul :p
i fucked up a couple of times while recording, but i never fixed theses problems..... otherwise it should be fine..



UPDATE: thanx for all the comments... They really are constructive and informative :)
For all of you who want to hear more..... well.... u'll have to wait a bit
My father passed away a few days ago (4th of January)... so I'll be traveling to Chile (after 3 years in Norway) carrying his ashes... anyway, i think this trip and this experience might help me to get inspired and trigger some kind of musical reaction from my fingers.

This song was recorded in December 04 at a home studio. This is my attempt at a flamenco style song. The two of us didn't play to a click track and did most of this off the floor. We had a lot of fun recording this one because we didn't really have it totally written out before we record it. I liked how it turned out in the end but I would definitely change some things if I could go back. We recorded this song right before we moved to Vancouver and started a Metal band. I hope you enjoy this one. Please tell me what you honestly think because not too many people have heard any of our songs off this CD. Don't feel bad if you laugh when my voice cracks. ha ha .....enjoy!</description>

<description>A song that didnt make it through the selection at last, because it wasn't good enough we thought
  
i never recorded it properly myself, so this is  a live recording of the first live gig with at that time(1999) U-Tow's newest and final vocalist : Lawrence  

Outside on the back of a truck, very cold and windy.. 
I remember very well! :roll: 

song and lyrics by me mainly, but tnx to Rodney for his great beats!

<description>I recorded this in early December.  This song doesn't make too much sense (not even to me). We are a three piece band called Red Ant Army. This song is just something we put together and laughed our asses off the whole time. The lyrics make no sense but that doesn't really matter because it's suppost to be funny. I hope you enjoy it.</description>

<description>Tell me what you think about this one. I poured my heart and soul into this song and I still don't know what it's totally about. Perhaps love and hate in the same realm.  If you can't relate to the feeling of this one while stoned......you probably won't like any music that I put on here.  Listen and learn...not from the chords or the tempo but the overall feeling I put into this one through ESP. If not please just tell me what's wrong and what's right.  If you don't leave a response you mind as well not even have ever listened to it in the first place. If music never makes you try to feel what I felt when I recorded this..............you probably never will feel what depression can taste like..........</description>
