New Free song up!

[matt-zeus]

I'm not a great fan of Valentines Day particularly but I've written a quirky little number and put it up on my myspace as a free download for the next day or so, it's called 'Be my Valentine', its not a major work by any means, if I had the chance to do Bsides - this would be one!
Anyway, please feel free to give it a spin!

I'm "blogging" this response.

Love the chord progression. Love the beat.

Reminds me of Euros Childs.

The guitar entrance replacing the keyboards is very cool--I'm a fan of textural changes like that in arrangements. Background vocals entrance is great.

Lyrics about cooking kick ass. Big fan of the "slice of life" stuff.

Not so sure I like the little "mmm" vocal bits throughout.

Really love the background vocals in the 2:30 range.

And it's over. In summary, this has The Official Luther Seal-slash-Stamp of Approval. Congratulations!

(It's a cool little tune; a lot of fun.)

f*** yeah! i love it!

is there anyway you can upload a 192kbps mp3 of this? myspace encodes it to 96

Hello! Thanks very much for your kind words Luther, i'm very flattered especially coming from someone of your writing pedigree which I very much admire!! I have a lot of songs about cooking, I seem to be doing a lot of that these days!
I literally wrote the whole thing in five minutes and then started recording and made up most of the lyrics on the spot, I don't usually work that way but I needed to after spending months slaving over an album! I have loads of these little ditties lying around!
Anyway glad you like it!!
Thanks too Mr Moderator, I have uploaded a better quality version to my proper webpage - www.thebrigadier.co.uk - go to 'Sounds' then 'Oddities' and that'll pop up as a free download which should sound a lot better (also in there is my cover of Brians 'That Special Feeling')
Cheers
Matt

Awesome. Maybe I say that because I do usually work that way!

Initially I get the germ of the idea of thes song or the melody very quickly but then I sit on it for ages, sometimes I spend months and months recording a song but in this case I recorded it on Tuesday evening and had it up on Wednesday!

Only just seen this thread Matt, It's an ace track, nice one. Better than a B side I'd say.

Btw, what's the new background on your myspace?  You've always got some interesting Architecture on there

[matt-zeus]

Thanks very much Richard, thrilled that you like it!!
The background pic is actually an old abandoned Art College in my hometown of Newport, one of its claims to fame is that Joe Strummer studied there in the early 70s!
