Honest Toddler is the funniest shit I've read in a while.

Random question for anyone who cares to chime in:

What song or songs come to mind for you that fit the description, poignant piano-and-vocal based ballad.




There are no wrong answers. Well, I already thought of After The Goldrush but what else?

Maybe I'm Amazed?

I don't listen to that shit.

By Heart Jim Brickman

Maybe I'm Amazed is a good suggestion. The specific song is a bit harder than what I want but it has some useful bits - and it leads me to other Beatles songs (Hey Jude, Let it Be etc.) that are in the mold I want.

I don't know that song Nina. I will check it out.



(Reason I am asking is I am trying to construct backing percussion for my piano song and it's not something I am adept at and it can help to listen to some models).

Yeah I have no clue either when it comes to adding drums. Shit's like Chinese.

Good strategy Muddy.

The language or the people?

Cami calm down. I don't have time for your rac1st jokes.

The hard rock songs are easy. Once things get moving at any kind of pace, there are a zillion percussion loops that can be plunked in there and they work pretty well.

Slower bits though, I have to construct beat-by-beat. Definitely not my strong suit.


Nina's suggestion of By Heart, like After The Gold Rush, has no drums at all.

That is something to consider I guess. I lean towards having a little something though. Something simple. But maybe not.

ooooh you found a loophole!

Muddy when I think piano

I always think of this song

 

[Mudcat]

Seriously, someone needs to come here and do these drums for me while I go get a Blizzard or something.
