Non Smiley Smile Stuff / Smiley Smilers Who Make Music / Ghost of Christmas (Bennett) - Chords?
|
on: December 03, 2012, 12:52:18 PM

Hi,
the song is still stuck in my head. Does anyone of you happened to know the basic-chords Scotty is using here? I have always problems to get them right. I used to be a Bass-Player, so Iīve always just focussed in "hearing" Bass-Notes and the Melody (means, I can hear a melody and play it on my piano) but I always have problems finding the right chords.
Can some nice person help me out?
Just to give you an example. When I start with the chorus (letīs say Iīd start with C) Iīd pick those chords C/A-Minor/D-Minor/G C/A-Minor/F/E-Minor (Iīll take mine on the rocks...)
hmm.... ?

Hi Boys , I was just wondering - did anyone of you ever play "Go away boy"? The song has such a simple, sweet melody and I just play it with a simple, suiting chord-progression but I am sure that itīs incorrect (or not even close to the original) Because I always start just with an "C (Go away boy", A-Minor (you remind me ...) Fm- G Bridge I used a: D-Minor-G-EM-A? Itīs suitable to the melody but not correct. So does anyone of you have the correct chords? I am not very good in hearing the right chords, I can find out the meldoy of a song (or the Bass line, because I played Bass for over a decate) but I am awful with chords I would appreciate any help Martin

Hi - yeah, it is said that a bad mix can ruin the whole song. The funny thing is, when you listen to a song with bad mix with your headphones, it sounds fantastic. But listen to a song with bad mix with your lousy PC Boxes or in a car - the song can sound completely wrong. Acutally this problem does occure to many people - the more techniqe you use, the easier it is to make a song unlistenable . So, I am blown away by your voice. May I ask you, what do you use for recording?

OK Luther . I was thinking about writing new lyrics for it, somthing that doesnīt have anything to do with the Beach Boys : I thought it was funny to use quotes from other Beach Boys Songs but it COULD be, that I have misjudged it . I didnīt want to write "oh Beach Boys are the best band, you cannot find anything better in the whole land" (yes, this was a suggestion by someone i asked to help me with the lyrics )

Wow, thatīs good.
A friend of mine (btw, he co-wrote a song with Andrew Gold for his upcomming album) has such a little programm/mashine. He just press(es) one button and he can sing in 4-part-harmonis. I thought he have used this as well. Wow, you sound amazing in the choir. I have singing in harmonies as well (with myself) but Iīm always having problem in mixing the harmonies. They ALWAYS sound out of tune. Even when the notes were sung correct, they sound wrong.
The funny thing is - many years ago I used real cheap recording equipment, and I did not had this problem back then. Now I am using "better" stuff and itīs driving me nuts...

Hi, I am proud to introduce a new song to you. First American Band is a collaboration of Martin Gotz (Austria), Bernd Oettinger (Germany) and the talented and beautiful singer Kayla Williams (Canada). I wrote the song back in September 2009 and asked my friend Bernd Oettinger to produce it. After this, I invited Kayla Williams to sing the song - she agreed real soon. So Iīd say, letīs Surf Rock Iīm not quiet sure if you are familiar with Kayla Williams. She has such amazing talent and made cover versions of many Beach Boys Songs you can find on youtube..... Soundclick Link: http://soundclick.com/share?songid=9579713First American Band God only knows how many tunes Iīve listened to in my room Songs of endless summer And the Surfer Moon Made me cuddle up with a surfer girl In the Californian sand I caught a wave while I fell in love to The rhythm of a steel drum band Chorus: The First American Band From Southern California A Cousin and a Friend Along with three brothers They made their Mamas cry With every single song Their story isnīt over As long as their music plays on Verse: Caroline my little girl Oh, where did your long hair go? You are no longer the sweet thing That I used to know I will pick you up in my 4-0-9 Well cruise the hamburger stands Because, everything is just fine When they play Do you wanna dance Chorus: The First American Band From Southern California A Cousin and a Friend Along with three brothers They made their Mamas cry With every single song Their story isnīt over As long as their music plays on (Bridge Instrumental) (Chorus) Credits: words and music by martin gotz arranged, produced and all instruments by bernd oettinger vocals by kayla williams (c) 2009/2010 by martin gotz, bernd oettinger and kayla williams p.s.: Kayla produced a video around the song, Iīd love to introduce this a bit later to you all

If I am not mistaken, Debbie Keil was on this board about a year ago and she brought some light into the Kent-Stories, which were very interessting. So I wouldnīt believe too much of what Kent wrote. Altough, I heard from an other source that Brian did not like one Song from the album, but Bruce - who was the producer by this time - decided to cut for the record.
Could be Oh Darlin where Bruce changed the tempo, could be "When girls get together", could be "Endless Harmony" as well. Who knows. Maybe we should ask Bruce about it?

Wow, thank you so much Luther. You are too good!! I always have problems to "hear" the Gershwin Songs. They are crazy, I worked over a week just to get the chords for "Someone to watch over you" and in the end I did not get them right. A real big and warm thank you man. "When we connect the dots" my gosh. I listened to the song so many times on my Ipod and I always thought he was singing "We we met the dance" and was wondering: "Gosh, this does not make any sence at all" So, do you think the lyrics are OK that way - because I am not a native speaker, there is a huge possibility that Iīve mist a spot You reached into my heart And found the music of my soul The melody unfold (?) for you Iīve never danced before Until you asked me The magic lights lead up the floor Lighting in the starless sky Til weīve found the inner light Now we can duplicate the universe The pain in painting, the muse in music The Like in I love you When you connect the dots I see your picture coming through The star is always you Its more than harmony When you sing with me Itīs an entire symphony Lighting in the starless sky Til weīve found the inner light Now we can duplicate the universe The pain in painting, the muse in music The Like in I love you

Hello, I know, this question does not have much to do with the Beach Boys, but I was just wondering... has anyone here already found the chords for "The Like in I love you"? I listened to it several time - I still have problems to "hear" the whole lyric (I cannot find the First line in the 2nd Verse) and from the chord-progression, itīs a typical Gershwin Song... way too complicated for me Because Iīd love to make a cover of it, but somehow I am stucked

Hi Luther, so... first of all - I think it reminds me a bit of "Cool, Cool, Water" The Piano is cool and your Voice is really nice. I havenīt expected this : I like those harmoies - really cool. The Production is made in a real high quality... what do you use for recordings??? Wallabie

Thank you Luther... yeah, my Co-Producer said the same thing about the Guitar... but I wanted to have it in because I think itīs cool The first demo had some "woom-poop-duh-wah" and some "hum-bub"... "hum-bub"... and so on... because I wanted to do it in a Beach Boys Style, but then we had to go for something else to get some Webradio-Support ... pöööhhhh ... but I like the way it is... Thank you for your opinion Luther, means a lot Martin

Hello Folks, itīs christmas time isnīt it . And for this reason we - "The Back Country Connection" - has created the Christmas Song "Snowflakes on the Mountain".... 10 Singers share the lead vocals on this tune. I would be really glad if you could have a listen to it. The song has already some Webradio-Cover and is available at ITunes and stuff The Genre is Country Rock...so I think.... And here is the LINK http://soundclick.com/share?songid=8435934 Snowflakes On The Mountain Verse 1: Far away from the city Miles and miles outta town Snowflakes are falling They just keep comin' down Up on the mountain The snow's gettin' thick And everywhere you look It's startin' to stick Everything stops moving The whole world's standing still The snow keeps on falling In the winter chill Chorus: Snowflakes on the mountain They just keep fallin' down A white coat of winter Covers all the ground The whole wide world is quiet It's such a wondrous sight Sparkling in the darkness A mountain top silent night Verse 2: The pine trees are all white Their branches full of snow Our little road's covered But we've no place to go We'll just stay at home And sit next to the fire As the snow keeps falling And the drifts get higher We'll pass the night Cuddled up in the fire's glow The two of us together And enjoy the snow Chorus: Snowflakes on the mountain They just keep fallin' down A white coat of winter Covers all the ground The whole wide world is quiet It's such a wondrous sight Sparkling in the darkness A mountain top silent night Outro: We want to wish you a Merry Christmas... ...Merry Christmas to all We want to wish you a Merry Christmas... ...Merry Christmas to all...

My Gosh, percentage... Scotty also mentioned that Brian wrote the whole songs and most of the lyrics for "Oxygen" and "Mexican Girl"... but they are also mentioned at 50/50 collabs. I say it doesnīt really matter who makes what, both were included so you can share the credit... But I am wondering know.. .you said that Brian wrote most of the songs in the 70th? Huh? Which one? I only know "California Role" was wirtten in the 1980th but the other ones? But I am still laughing about Scott telling us how this collaboration started in the first place (if I got it right)... "Brian called me like every day... Hey Scott, you have a home studio, havenīt you..."..."Yes...?"... "Can I come over and record some stuff...?"... .."Well, should I say no?" ... so I wonder if it really happened that way... I like these things... Melinda stated somewhen, over 10-15 years ago (was it in the I just wasnīt made for these times doku?) ... that Brian said: "Hey, I have an idea for a song, letīs go to Andy..." ... BTW... I asked a question here about Debbie and Debbie answered. I asked a question here about Beach Boys Manager and ... I got a real unexpected email.... So this is a question about LOS, Brian and Scotty.... so just in chase..... ---> jamesdavid_martin@yahoo.ie
