Whats about this friend-song-thing?
Fran posted the lyrics to his new song "Friends" in his blog. Someone got the idea of writing their own music to go along with it. Fran liked the idea and asked people to make their own versions and post them so we could all hear.
ah thx .sounds cool. .. frans got a blog? link please?!
*sighs* It's more like Fran had a blog, it's not been very active recently.
okay. then i have some more time to read it ;) *cough* |

I recorded my version of "Friends" today. I needed a bit of an echo to make it sound better, so I recorded in my 1950's bathroom. That's my pink Barry Gordy Wall of Sound.
Please apply everyone's excuses to my song as well; I'm not a singer, I only know a few chords, etc. and the additional excuse that my guitar (a.k.a. Old Kay) is literally falling apart at the seams.
I can hardly believe I'm doing this:
Friends
i like your fresh voice and attitudes... really enjoy people like you |

Here are the words so you can create your own version (I corrected the spelling of 'deceive'...i before e except after c Franny):
"Friends" (words subject to change)
Who cheers you up
When you are down
Who brings you cups of coffee
Who picks you up
When you're in town
Whatever makes you happy
And I'm glad you're better now
But I'm sad you're not around
Friends
Won't ever desert you
Or turn against
Friends
Won't love you and leave you
To mend the fence
Who wakes you up
When you're late for work
Who makes the bed so lovely
Who found your sock
Who pressed your shirt
Whatever makes you love me
And I'm glad I'm better now
But I'm just sad you're not around
Friends
Will never deceive you
Or turn against
Friends
Won't love you and leave you
To mend the fence...
...so let's do it on this thread only. I'll move your link up to this post so they are all in one place (I know they're not in order of who submitted first...but tough sh*t)

OK, finally! Here is my version of Friends. Thanks to Eledh for uploading it (my wi-fi wouldn't allow uploading).
Apologies for the murky sound- it's hard to mix a guitar and a mic in the same amp! And it's recorded on a camera phone, so the picture quality isn't great. As for me forgetting to read the words towards the end, well for that i have no excuse! haha |
