| VIDEO: album under construction part 10/10 |

The last song is called "The End of a Planet". I am wearing a Ninja Hat I got when I went to the Anime North 2009 Convention. I wear this hat when I garden and that is why I am a NINJA GARDENER as stated in my YouTube profile!
And thus marks the end of this video series called "Album Under Construction". What next??? What to do next? What is up my sleeve???
Please wait for NAVEL4EVE's debut full length album called "Go Home" to come out. It will happen. |

This one is called "Sex in Armour". It took forever to tone those guitars and so I kept giving up. I think they are shaping up well enough for me to continue to produce this song with guitars which is how I've always wanted to produce this song. The snare was another headache... Anyway, I'm too tired to think of anything else I want to say.
Oh yeah, the song I am playing in the video I made about my new guitar is for this song "Sex in Armour". |

Here is classic NAVEL4EVE tune called "Sex Makes Babies". This is an example of a really short song that can be produced to be longer by making not one but TWO refrains. Have a listen to the singer/songwriter version which has only one refrain. Later, when the album is done, listen to "Sex Makes Babies" and you will hear TWO refrains where one was copied+pasted in a strategic place to make it a verse-chorus-verse-chorus song. I am more than happy to share this producer tip with budding producers around the world. We cannot improve without knowledge.
Actually, Gabogenix (a codename I gave to a person who used to take part in Livejournal) gets credit for suggesting I make refrains from the lyrics "sex makes babies come on". This was back when I put very little thought into song structure. Live and learn, folks!
In this video, I am playing on the stairs. That's how I'm able to hold the guitar like that. |

Here is "Some Song". I should've stopped right away and done a second take after I figured out the chords. But that's not how I roll when I need to get things done quickly. The clip at the end... I was curious to see what it would sound like with guitars. I would like it to have guitars, but the final result will probably be more like the SEX MAKES SONG ep version just cuz the bassline I want to use does not work with the rhythm of the guitars.
Please keep in mind that all of the guitars for all these songs were done years ago. I currently do not have the equipment to record which is a shame cuz I'd for sure tune the guitar before recording if I were to record new parts. |

Back to the album... which is taking way too long, btw. Here is part 6 of 10 and the BAG Girl is singing a little ditty called "Lovely Ugly" which is a pretty difficult song to produce, let me tell ya. But later. Like when I'm done with the album. I'll tell ya why this song is so difficult to produce. Okay, I'll just say it's because the reverb is printed onto the vocals. I'll elaborate later.
Just how difficult is it to produce this song? Well, let's just say that it probably won't sound robot rocking like the studio clip that is at the end of this video. Or it might. It depends on how I'm feeling. Like, am I feeling the Duran Duran bassline or not. Right. It's not even a real bass guitar, but don't tell anyone. It is a result of laziness. And will TRANSFORMERS 3 come out and make me feel even more embarrassed to like robots? Right. It depends on how I'm feeling. This is music, folks. It is influenced by feelings. |

This one's called "Reigndear". Again, there is a clip of the studio version at the end. I am still working on all of these songs so the studio versions in these videos are not final. I also realize that I should add reverb or something... and the drummer has three arms. |
