I can't dance, I can't sing, and I also can't seriously play any instrument. Yet I managed to cobble together this track. It's about a man made of tin. A little tinman. I am well aware that you acoustically can't understand most of the lyrics, because I am using the Roland E-4 voice tweaker vocoder to hide the fact that I can't sing. But come on: Since when do lyrics matter? You can dance, everybody look at your hands? Kamakamkamkamaka kamelion?? Bee-ba-bub-bada-bub?
However, I am actually singing words, that are trying to mean things. Although I'm not sure they do.
Tinman, little tinman
Living in his little tincan
Hello tinman, little timan
Living in his little tin can
In his can the timan stands
With a heart of gears and rusted hands
His painted smile, a glimmering sheeen,
Hiding dreams of world he's never seen
With every creek he longs to roam,
To find a friend, to call a home
Yet in silence he stands so still,
A toy whose whishes time can't fulfill
Tinman in your can,
You need to understand,
Life stays dull and blant,
If you stay in your can
Tin man
End of song. Now, before there's a misunderstanding: If you think this song sucks, I agree. It's terrible. As a music consumer, I would never ever pay for this.
But as the guy who recorded this, I can tell you this much: It's sooo much fun to record a thing like this! I don't care if anyone else but me likes this or not! It's pretty much like cutting the flowers and the bushes in your garden: who cares if everyone else likes it? The only thing that counts is that YOU like it!
And although I am well aware of the fact that this track is far from being "professional" or "modern" - it was fun to do! Which is a notion not many music producers share, sadly. Making music should be fun. Ain't it?
