Hi everyone, I know its crowdy on the forum, but I had to place this new song about New Times and New Rules. Its a kind of House and Rock, so it has a heavy beat. It deals with the changing times and the -negative- aspects were dealing with. I don't mean the Corona virus, although that is awful too, but selfishness and autocracy and all what comes with that. The lyrics aren't so heavy though. Listen to it: https://soundcloud.com/user-296497130/new-times-new-rulesThe style is CARRYON.STY RealTracks in song: ~683:Basguitar, Electric, PopHalfNotesPush Gel 120 RealTracks in song: 2625:Guitar, Bariton Electric RealTracks in song: 3539:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm MetalCinematicLowTuneSteadyDarin Ev16 110 Loop in Song: House-Techno-Trance\House - helluva_night_128_drum_loop_a_minor ev16.wav Loop in Song: World\Arabian - forever_85_string_section_staccato_c_sharp_minor.wav Loop in Song: House-Techno-Trance\Trance - bassline4_135_c ev16.wav RealDrums [in Song:FunkHalfNotePulseTambo: a: Snare, Kickb: Busy Kick, Snare You notice there are 3 loops in the song. But beside these instruments I also included 3 keyboardtracks from Output / Native Instruments, analog strings, Substance bassline and Exhale vocals. So altogether a lot of noise, but in a in a responsible manner (I hope). Let me know what I can improve or whatever. I like to learn. Hans The lyrics *) I saw one word was cleared because it was a 'bad' word. It's about someone's butt: New Times, New Rules(c) HwBerkhout 10-03-20 When I was young I believed in fairy tales They end up wel and the bad guys loose Aha Now I've learned it's the other way around, the good guys loose and the bad guys win, all the time Aha And if you try to change these things people come to you in anger, they say: Refrein Hé you!, Mind your own business Right here! Mind your own business, I say Right now! Better keep on moving Nothing's going on here It's just your imagination So keep that in mind Unlike the fairy tales politicians behave less in favor of you They'd become autocrats Aha It's all for the benefit of themselves and their friends. So, don't you forget that Aha If you want to change all these things people come to you in anger and they shout: Refrein 2 Hé you!, mind your own business Right here! Mind your own business, I say Right now! Better keep on moving Nothing's going on here It's just your imagination So, hit the road, boy Solo Refrein 3 And they shout:Hé you!, Mind your own business Right here! Mind your own business Get used to new times! Keep your fat [*****] moving Nothing's going on here It's just your imagination So keep that in mind Refrein 4 Hé you!, Mind your own business Right here! Mind your own business New times, new rules! Better keep on moving Nothing's going on here It's just your imagination So, hit the road, boy Yes, hit the road, boy!

Love the intro. Vocals are cool! The string loop is a nice touch. And now I know the Dutch spelling of "hey!".

Hans,
Great energy and attitude in your vocal carries this ( sounds like you had fun getting angry)...and of course the beat helps too.
An interesting mix of styles- the staccato strings were my favourite seasoning to the pulsing stew!

Nicely done - love the energy in this as Robert said, and your vocals are right on point. Loved how it flows and thought the mix was top notch as well.
Thanks for sharing!
Cheers,
Deryk

After just listening Janice & Bud song The Way Things Are, another bit depressing story. Luckily the surprising sharp instrumentation and angry interpretation lifts me up from the cave of the dark times Kind of rocking Prodigy with a strong message. Your crisp voice carries the song thoroughly. I think that good and well-behaving guys are not in fashion and their supporters are in minority at the moment. Janne

Different!
Nice to see you stretching out, Hans, this is very well done!
I particularly like what you did in the refrain.

Hans,
I really like this.
Great energy. Cool instrumentation.
Love the angry vocal!! Good mix.
Very well done and a very engaging listen.
Excellent use of BIAB - something different, great to hear.
One of your best!

Yes one of your best. "Unlike the fairy tales politicians behave less in favor of you They'd become autocrats Aha It's all for the benefit of themselves and their friends. So, don't you forget that" What great lines and so true. You anger was really good! I kept expecting "get the hell of my lawn"  Seriously this is one really good song!
Have you ever noticed there are no lines to a bathroom at a water park?

Hans,
Quite different from what we usually hear around here. Excellent use of the program, and a very strong composition and vocal.
Really well done.

Hi David, Yes, automatically I used the Dutch spelling of the word 'Hey' in the lyrics. Stupid of me not thinking about that. But thanks for your compliments. I was puzzled a bit you loved the intro. Was that all you loved  Hans

Hi Robbert,
Thanks for your compliments and observation. And yes, it felt nice to shout 'Hey you...etc. The only problem with that was the recording immediately jumped to super red and I faced distortion!
And with those staccato strings you mean the Arabic loop? Say straight from the beginning of the song? That is a loop I found in the loopsection of BiaB. But I also used staccato strings from Output, but played that on my keyboard.
And yes, all those noises ('the stew') together gave me some problems mixing them properly. But all went well afterwards.
Hans

Hello Deryk,
Thanks for your comment on the song. as I wrote Robbert, the shouting and the lot of sounds in the song gave me some challenge getting it all in place. My son described that Arabic loop as a sound for a pc-game. We don't want him to come around anymore now, of course!
but I was asking myself; "why all those sounds in this song"? But it had to do with the subject. The unkindness, the harshness, all that haste, etcetera. That feeling had to be in the song in some way. Glad to read it worked out fine for you!
Hans

Good day Janne,
What a difference in style both songs are! I do agree. I listened to their song as well. It is beautiful. Compared to my song in where the singing is quiet different, I'd rather listen to their song then mine. But I'm glad I lifted you up!
It is (a bit) funny both J&B and I handled a subject at the same time about human behaviour nowadays (beside the Corona problems). As you corectly stated: "good and well-behaving guys (and girls) are not in fashion and their supporters are in minority at the moment". I hope 'the moment' won't last too long...
But I do like your using of the word 'prodigy' for my song. Gave me a nice feeling. Thanks for that and all your other compliments,
Hans

Hi Hans,
you keep cranking them out lately...
Very good in all aspects: Great arrangement / use of BIAB (like always), very dedicated lyrics (like always), most enerhetic vocals (like always).
And I love the fact that you manage to come up with so many different styles - hats off !
All the best,
Stefan

Strong, confident vocals really make this happen.
A really unusual and effective melange.
Impressive.

As Robert said, "sounds like you had fun getting angry..." It's been said so we will get redundant! Fine lyric Fine vocal Fine RT/RD band...love those loops, As Ray said a great melange. Fine mix...sounds great turned up on the monitors. And, yes, the message is not uplifting (like our current tune) but sometimes one needs a good shot of reality. And this certainly provides it. Kudos for a well done production! J&B

Love the attitude and the beat working together to make the point. Nice production and a good ending as well.

Hans, Pretty cool and original! I like when people experiment with genres & sound and I feel this is perfect example. Not too abstract to get confused & has plenty of features to stay focused. Mix is good, not your best but good!!! Vocals are clear and not too distant. You done a excellent job on breaking the mold. Thank you for sharing! Misha.

Hi there Dave,
Yes I like to do things that are sometimes far out of my comfort zone.
Like what that does to me, although I have to overcome some ramps...
The main reason is I'm curious and want to learn. Don't you?
I am now working on a song with a steelband. Some challenge!
But I think it will be on the forum in about some days.
Thanks for your comment, Dave!
Hans
