    Default lyrics

    has anyone ever written any ?

    has anyone ever thought about it ?

    do lyrics belong in techno?


    I am allways writing lyrics , they are allways difficult

    the only decent ones i have ever written reveal so much about myself that im scared for anyone to listen to them , its easy to write rubbish , but anything thats from the heart is allways full of vunerability and fear and really does tell everyone about your deep feelings and hopes and dreams .

    Embarassing , as i like to keep my cards close to my chest and not open up to anyone.

    thoughts?

    i really like underworld and their use of lyrics is wicked .

    Well, I used to be in some industrial bands before techno, as the vocalist and programmer.
    And I do do some techno now and again with vocals.
    I like it a lot, underworld and fluke were great examples of doing it properly, and with meaning.

    I think for record releases, as I found out, DJ`s don`t want lyrics, at least full lyrics, in their music, as most rarely play full tracks, and it makes mixing a little difficult, as it stops the tune from being a "tool".

    But for live purposes and digital releases, why not do a vocal and instrumental version.

    I`d love for techno to be a bit more meaningful rather than just beats and gurning, and also adding lyrics can make the music more human and accessable, but alas, it`s very difficult to introduce.

    As for worrying about your vocals, just do it, if it has genuine meaning coming from inside you, then people will feel it.

    I`d be very interested in hearing what you do with this.
    Singularity Recordings will not be scared of this kind of music.

    Solitary by nature.
    Isolation is the gift.
    Does anyone have courage to stand apart any more?
