A new publishing company had reached out asking if I could write a punky
anthem for their music library. I love songwriting - for people, with
people - don't get to do it as often as I'd like, so when it happens I
get a burst of inspiration, usually have a song idea to start recording
within a few minutes. Opening riff popped into my head, recorded it in
mid July. Vocals can take a while for me sometimes, finding the lyrics
that match the vibe of the song and fitting them into a melody that
works. But when the moment arrives it comes together quickly. Busted out
the vocals in early August, laid sampled drums and submitted it to the
publisher, was called "Let Your Voice Be Heard". They felt it was too
heavy, too metal, they were looking for something a little more
uplifting, less inciting and aggressive, more bubble-gum, less venom.
(Within hours I wrote and recorded a song "The Best Time Of My Life" -
was one of those rare instances where a song happened with no struggle
at all, was a precise fit for what they were looking for.)
Wasn't sure what to do with "Let Your Voice Be Heard" - was producing
Poc's album in the studio (artist from Mexico, her debut album) and we'd
often have a live video stream of the recording sessions as we were
working. During a session I played my song for some feedback and
everyone felt I should release it as my own. Sent the music to Dennis
Leeflang and he busted out a killer drum track, and I started
prepping it to be the August 'Song Of the Month'. Ahhh, but being in the
home stretch of recording with Poc I really needed to focus fully on her
album and get everything done before she headed back to Mexico. Soooo,
as I type this I'm on a plane to LA to start GNR rehearsals for the
upcoming tour, Poc's album on my laptop with headphones tweaking mixes,
and finishing the "Let Your Voice Be Heard" transcription. (I get a lot
of work done on long flights...) And in 6 hours I'll be laughing and
making noise with my GNR bandmates, hopefully releasing this song soon
after. If you're reading this in early September that means my first
night in LA was spent in the hotel room uploading audio files,
submitting forms, prepping webpages... if you're reading this in
late-September, I probably have no memory of my first night in LA, or
many that followed. |
LYRICS:
Everybody wants to silence you, wants a mile from you, plus an inch or
two
And in the end there's a door slammed in your face
Well I don't wanna take a thing from you, I just wanna feel, have
something real with you
I just wanna fly high to another place
I'll give you my love and fond devotion
I'll give you my heart and my emotion
All I want from you in return
Is to let your voice be heard
They all want you to pay the price, they wanna see how long they can
roll the dice
And in the end you realize it's just a game.
I've had enough and so have you of the compromises to live by their
rules.
So let's all give something they can't take
I'll give you my love and fond devotion
I'll give you my heart and all my emotion
All I want from you in return
Is to sing out loud, let your voice be heard
I'll give you my blood and my rotten soul
I'll give you my world, you can have it all
All I want from you in return
Is to let your voice be heard |
