Here are the FINISHED LYRICS for the re-imagined PSALM 69 song we're going to be submitting into this fine contest put together by Tunecore and Ministry. We've only got until friday of this week to finish this track so we're working hard to pull it all together.

Working on this track - I've been surprised to find that I misunderstood many of the samples. For instance - what I thought was "fire - god's dreamer" is actually "liar - blasphemer". How did I screw that up?

I'm working on the vocals now so you can expect to hear something new and exciting tomorrow. It's really almost done!!!!

LYRICS FOR PSALM 69 - RE-IMAGINED



Verse 1

They march up and down the street
Planting their feet
One foot in front of the other
Can you hear me brother?

Do you bear the mark?
If not they’ll drag you off

Make you understand
His master plan
The body of christ looked unto me
He made them better than man
And now they preach unto thee
Of the great short attention span



Verse 2

Wish we could turn back the clock
Before they fed us this crock
Should have saved Assange
They were the chosen ones

Have you prayed today?
Get on your knees and pray

Humble yourself before the messiah
Learn your place – call him sire
In his name we maim
With christ to conspire
Learning to prowl in his name
More souls to acquire
Taking their message door to door
Find out what you stand for
Promises of everlasting life
But at what price?

Verse 3

They call it war
A war that we pay for
A fight to stop heresy
Not written but spoken decree

Please present i.d.
Before we make you bleed

Listen to the words of our lord
Learn to fight with his sword
They tend to the sheep
Wiring up the flock
Their minds are asleep
They feel a mild shock
Focus their weary mind
Mission so defined
Promise to live forever
With no proof whatsoever

Hook

Revolution comes
New world
New order
Psalm 69

LYRICS FOR RE-IMAGINED PSALM 69 (tentative)

Verse 1

They march up and down the street
Planting their feet

The body of christ looked unto me
He made them better than man
And now they preach unto thee
Of the great short attention span

Verse 2

Still no chorus worked up but definitely have a concept of what we want to do with that. Oh, we should have a third verse very soon. Be patient. I figured you guys were tired of reading about Julian Assange in our blogs but look - SUPRISE - I included him in these lyrics. Well, that's it for now. Should probably get back to work and finish writing these lyrics so we can have this done before the end of the month. So ... what do you think of the lyrics?

Euphonic Dissonance do "One Night In Bangkok" by Murray Head / Abba?

Brian Copeland of Euphonic Dissonance talks about covering the song "One Night In Bangkok" by Murray Head:

In 1984 the concept album for the musical CHESS was released. Its music was composed by former ABBA members Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson, with lyrics written by Tim Rice. The single "One Night In Bangkok (click here to hear original on youtube)" from this album peaked at #3 on the Canada and U.S. charts.



This song caught my attention almost immediately. I loved it - plain and simple. At the time of its release I had no idea that Abba was involved with writing the song. I had no idea that it was about chess. All I knew was that the song was incredibly catchy and I loved listening to the track when it popped up on the radio. I think I've wanted to perform this song ever since.

The song would go on to become a cult favorite of certain dance clubs in the early 90's. It was still there haunting me with it's catchy spoken lyrics and the Abba like hook. This song just wouldn't go away. Why won't it just leave me alone??!!!

26 years after the original release of this song Euphonic Dissonance gives you their spin on this cult classic. Now, this is only a rough draft of the song and we haven't had the chance to finish the vocals on the hook/chorus due to seasonal allergies (seasonal allergies is the reason god made oklahoma)..... we'll get those done soon. Until then here is a sneak- peak at this new piece.

Well, what do you think of it so far? I can't wait to finish the rest of the song. I think it's going to be great. Tell us what you think.

Euphonic Dissonance does PET SHOP BOYS It's A Sin - also, more ABBA

Brian of Euphonic Dissonance gives us more news from the studio

I'm so incredibly happy with the way this song has evolved.  I could almost cry. I've always wanted to do a PET SHOP BOYS song and now the dream is reality. I absolutely loved singing this song but I couldn't quite hit that high note at the end of the bridge. Sorry Neil Tennant ..... I'm a baritone and I just can't hit that final high note.

I chose "It's A Sin" because it ties into the TECH MESSIAH project perfectly. Also, I love the friggin' song. It's one of those songs that I probably lip synced to when it was playing at the dance clubs back in the day. Hell, these guys are so friggin' huge they are still getting played in clubs. They've won 5 grammy awards, they  have sold over 100 million records worldwide and are listed as the most successful duo in pop music history. Since 1986, they have had 42 Top 30 singles and 22 Top 10 hits in the UK, including four Number Ones: "West End Girls", "It's a Sin", "Always on My Mind" and "Heart". I don't think I could have chose a better group to be the first ever Euphonic Dissonance COVER SONG. There are more vocals that will be added in the future from Sarah and a final mixdown but beyond that the track is done. What do you think?

I promised a couple of blogs back that we would be bringing you some ABBA. Well, here's a sneak peak. See if you can guess the song.

We'll be finishing that one soon so check back often if you want to hear the final product.
