Adrift 4,813 Posted January 27, 2013 I just used a kind of jazzy guitar like Lana would. To be honest, it's TERRIBLE but I'll post it anyway. http://a.tumblr.com/tumblr_mh9n37ABpz1qfo41fo1.mp3 Don't ever let me touch music again. 6 Quote X----into me, into you----X Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Monicker 3,035 Posted January 27, 2013 I don't believe that you think this is terrible. You know it's not. There are some really interesting voicings and the progression really adds a lot to the melody, it's not predictable or generic at all, and it moves very nicely. The "it's a party" change is really great, i like how the tension is resolved there. Very nice. What are the chords? Is there a minor 9th in there?? 2 Quote "The limits of my language mean the limits of my world." -Wittgenstein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Cuomo 3,320 Posted January 27, 2013 I actually really like this, it's very nice. Second time playing it. It's good. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adrift 4,813 Posted January 27, 2013 The problem (or fun part) of Lana being acapella recording these is that she has no progression to stick to, so I had to really try and formulate a chord progression. The main problem with Motel 6 is that the verses are in C# minor, but the chorus is in C minor. She builds up to this huge C# minor chorus and then just drops a halfstep, and that just doesn't sound right to me. I do however LOVE the G minor chord she ends the song with randomly. It's very sexy. 0 Quote X----into me, into you----X Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You did well, i don't think what you wrote really follows any "implied harmony" in what she's doing, which makes this sound more interesting. The main problem with Motel 6 is that the verses are in C# minor, but the chorus is in C minor. She builds up to this huge C# minor chorus and then just drops a halfstep, and that just doesn't sound right to me. Nothing wrong with that, sounds awesome to me! Modulating a half step is a Beach Boys classic. I, of course, would love to think that this seeped into Lizzy’s consciousness through listening to them, but, uh, maybe her pitch just unintentionally wandered down a half step because she wasn’t singing to anything. You didn’t answer though--what are the chords? GIVE US THE CHORDS OF YOUR OWN CREATION, LANABOARDS CHORD MAN! 0 Quote "The limits of my language mean the limits of my world." -Wittgenstein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Creyk 11,699 Posted January 27, 2013 It's quite nice. Eerie, as it should be. I made my version too, I put Government Hooker's instrumental under it. It sounds divine (at least to me because I made it to my liking, lol) 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
