Orangedragan Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I think I' right in assuming that plenty of us here love the original pokemon games. Me too. So I ended up writing my own lyrics to the Lavender Town theme song. Unfortunately, the source material is not conducive to vocal accompaniment for obvious reasons, so I had the great idea to make a mix for the song! Then I remembered I can't compose. So I'm posting here in the hopes that someone can help me out here. MangaMan is also on board. I really don't have a vision for the accompaniment other than it needs to sound creepy as hell to match my lyrics, so if you're interested, send me a PM and we can talk about mixing it up. The lyrics are as follows: Welcome, Welcome To the town of Sorrows Have you come to Say hello to old friends? Lavender, Lavender Such a lovely, sweet scent Wafts around us Comforting the ill heart Here they lie now Bodies rest below you Friends, companions Find eternal slumber Rain falls slowly Sky grows darker In the distance Stormclouds shed their cold tears Lavender, Lavender Such a gentle color Soothing, ghostly Color of the dead Here they rise now Say hello to old friends They have missed you Endless years of waiting Lavender, Lavender We won't be forgotten You will join us You'll always remember Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nonamer Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Just curious...what tempo are you looking for? Slow or fast? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orangedragan Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 Just curious...what tempo are you looking for? Slow or fast? Close to original tempo, but it would depend on the style. Most likely would lean toward slower, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuberz McGee Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I'm feeling creepy as being a weird industrial-ish sound. Similar to Reptile by Nine Inch Nails. Is this what you're thinking? I'd love to help if you want me on board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to help if you want me on board. Industrial is a good genre possibility, but definitely on the quieter side. I have this scene in my head of a trainer kneeling in front of a grave, and a ghost disguised as an old man comes up behind him and this is what he is saying to the trainer. Maybe a crescendo or accelerando near the end, but definitely on the subtle side until the "reveal." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuberz McGee Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 So more of a subtle reference to Industrial with a main fore front in Post Rock? :/ That's all I can think of right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orangedragan Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 So more of a subtle reference to Industrial with a main fore front in Post Rock? :/That's all I can think of right now. Possibly. I'd need to hear a WIP to get a better understanding of what you had in mind. Maybe something like Rammstein's Ohne Dich or Ein Lied, if you want an Industrial reference. Even Spiel Mit Mir or Klavier. (Sorry, Rammstein is the only Industrial band I'm intimately familiar with) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuberz McGee Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 How about something more like this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lk2az2ar0pg That would be my first thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damashii!! Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 duuuuude.... that is a freaky coincidence. i'm working on a somber lavender town remix too and it's similar to ITTCT the way you're describing it kind of seems like this, no? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vs6HzS2PYz8&feature=related yo, we should both totally have tiny cameos in eachother's mixes and submit it at the same time.
