Los Lonely Bang's new Composition - Found

Last nite was an amazing nite!! Almost like a dream come true for me as we and my ah bangs have finally able to put our pens down to write our very 1st Forerunner original composition. Finally, we thot that we are going to have something original and authentic. I am not sure whether the song sounds good, but it's certainly original.

We started with a progression for the verse which i suggested. It was written in G Dorian mode, therefore it sounded rather dark. Darker than Major Ionian, but not as dark as Minor Aeolian. Then i came out with a vocal line while Daniel altered it.

The progression for the bridge was written in such that it transit from the 5th chord of Dorian to a Root with a flatted 3rd. It was intentionally done so to create alot of tension to the bridge as to make it sound distinct and unresolved.

Then we had a problem trying to think of a progression for the chorus. We tot of using the same progression from the verse but we think it would not sound good, as there would be alot of repetition. Moreover, it would make the tension of the bridge meaningless.

The idea of modulate the chorus to a C ionian came into our head and we gave it a 1, 5, 4, 1, 5, 6 progression which would ultimately end with a cadence chord E major, enabling the song to slip back to G Dorian. Cool!!!

The next thing we did, was to fill in lyrics to the song. We wanted the song to be about how we would place our Hope in JC despite the long and winding life journey which we were all battled and worn out from. Manson and Dan came out with most of the lyrics.

Ta- da.....The song "Found" was born at 6.21am this morning . We did a live unplug recording of the song with both Manson and me on the Acoustic Gui and Daniel on percussion and Vox. It sounded quite cool. I will post up the lyrics of the song. Too bad the blog doesn't allow me to post up audio files. But if you are interested in our music.

I’ve been wandering so long
Thru these cold winding lanes
Just trying to find my way
To a street that bears my name

My battered soul cries for release
From all this hurt and pain
Frustration running thru my veins…


Though I walk thru the valleys of death,
I fear no evil for You are by my side,
You restore my soul,
My spirit is renewed,
And I’ll dwell in Your house forever.

You are my Rock, my fortress,
My strength,
help in time of need.
And I’ll follow you wherever you go,
Just hold my hand and never leave me,
My Saviour, my God, my King.


When I was down you came and found me,
Set me up on my own feet,
My guiding with darkness around me,
In your arms I want to be..


No one will ever realised that we only took 2 takes for the recording of the demo. And the best part was that the arrangement was all arranged spontaneously as we jammed the song. Cool!!! Maybe it was the drowsiness that brought the innermost musicianship out of us....HAHA.
