Here Today... Gone To Hell!

This is a song I wrote about me but I always had Axl in mind... (you'll see some references in it)

I take my songs very seriously as I'm always writing. Haven't recorded this one yet cause I wanna do it professionaly in a studio and that takes some time to arrange things..

So now that it's copyrighted I can post it here.

Happy Birthday Axl...

Alone


(piano intro)

I just don't know
What to do with my time
tryin' to find the right words
ain't a crime

Well I got all the time
in the world
but in here
it's so lonely and cold


(guitar solo)

I feel the winter
When it?s only june
And the nights pass me by
With no moon

It's only me tryin'
To rescue the day
Just one thing
Haven?t found yet the way



(change of music)

(bridge)
We know that in between us
There is an endless war
Cause every time I give it up
You come and ask for more


(back to original melody)

I'm still here
tryin' to keep up with you
Dirty job but that's what
I should do

Steady hands wipping
Tears from my face
Love you still
But that's hardly the case


(Guitar solo)

I'm betrayed
by my thoughts for once more
Gotta find my way back
to the shore

Wrong or right
None of this shit is real
In my heart
No-one knows how I feel



(change of music)

(bridge)
And every time I see you
My soul's an open door
But as I try to close it
You always ask for more

(back to original melody)


Look around
Tell me what can you see
Please don't cry
If you'll only find me

All alone
In this huge noisy crowd
I'm tryin' to scream
But the music's too loud


(total change of melody with guitar solos)


Sometimes it's easy to forget
But there are times you can't let go
You never know what to expect
And only time will tell you so

And then this woman comes along
And helps you find your way back home
but home is where you've always been
and where you've always been you were alone.

That's beautyful AxlGreece. Thanks for sharing...

That was wonderful AG!  

I like it very much AG, be sure to let me know the whole song (with the music) when it's ready

good song... I don't know why but Madagascar came to mind

very nicely done my friend  [ok]

shlump

Nice one AG.  [ok]

I'll move this to the musicians section....



/jarmo

Because of this:

Gotta find my way back
to the shore


I told you there were references to Axl...  ;)

Oh and thank you all for the kind words...

Don't expect it to be soon, cause it's a long song (around 10 minutes) and it takes much studio time... once it's ready.

Awesome lyrics man!!!  [peace]

Thats a cool song you wrote AxlGreece. I would like to hear it when you get it all done.  [yes] Are you making a whole cd?  :-\  [peace]
 
 
 

These are nice lyrics, I'd like to hear them with music!  [ok]

I changed them a bit...

The first bridge part has changed entirelly...

Check it out.

Hey, nice song  [ok]

A bit of Nov. Rain inspiration at the end there, with the change in melody & guitar solos perhaps ;)

Thanx guys.

Appreciated...  :)

EDITED TO ADD:

It's actually inspired from Nov. Rain AND Estranged...  ;)

The arrangement seems to resemble Axls stuff as well...good lyrics  [ok]

Thank you very very much...

That part was the last addition to the whole song.

Thanx again... :)

3 Words.

Very Talented Individual.





Axlhogg

Thank you very much AH... Much appreciated... :D

When u get to that goddamn studio, i would like to buy a copy off you, it will help with the studio costs etc, fuck MP3ing it, i would rather pay for a piece of lyrical genius like that! :D

Great Work Greece! ;)


Axlhogg

Ok, I'm thinking of changing this bit:

I feel the winter
When it?s only june
And the nights pass me by
With no moon


with this:

Twenty six
And I know it's too soon
But the nights pass me by
With no moon


Any opinions?  :-\

I like the original verse.

I prefer the original also

English is not my first language. Greek is... Thanx for your kind words.

I know that moon is too cheesy and that june is too simple. I'm working on it.

Thanx again everyone... Looks like this one is not gonna change...

in five years some greek guy is on mtv and gets the q: what is your main insperation sourse? When guns n' roses come up as an answer, i'll be thinking of axlgreece!

great lyrics!

rock on!!!!!!

WOW!!! I wish that this could happen one day, but I have a feeling it won't... But who knows? Never say never...

Thanks for your kind words. Keep on rockin dude.

WOW! that was a-m-a-z-i-n-g  :peace: :peace: :) :)

WOW!!! I had almost forgotten about this song being here...

I never update my signature... hehehe

I got some good news about it. My band is about to sign a record deal and this song will be in the record!

Let's hope I'll upload an mp3 of it someday. Or even a link to amazon for our record... (hoping and dreaming...)

that's great!!! :) :) :) :)
I hope to hear it soon!

FICKIN?AMAZING SONG!!

The lyrics are amazing!! Congratulations!!!  : ok:

How you copyrighted it??  ???

Through a lawyer.

when u get that done u need to post it for us i think it fucking rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Congratulations  great lyrics  try to send this to AXL . : ok:

Naaaaaaah... It's cool. If I'm lucky, he'll read it some day.

Thanks for the nice comment.  :peace:

BTW, that band I used to have has broken up ages ago.

But the good news is that I'm getting a new one "soon". However, the song is very close to getting finished. I'll probably have a demo until Lisbon...

Yeah good song, man. Lyrics are pretty cool, I was singing what I'd imagine it could sound like with someone like Axl Rose singing it too. Look forward to hearing it when you record it. well done horse

yeah looks good.. really wanna hear this song man : ok:

Well, I'm kinda surprised that people still write on this thread...   :D

It will take a bit longer since our "studio" is on the move, and it'll be ready next month.

God, I'm an GN'R fan... Always Late But Always Great...

Actually I'm not sure if "Great" can be used for this song, but "Late" is definitely the word...  :hihi:

Great !

Well the lyrics are definately great! : ok:

Thank you for your kind words, much appreciated...  :beer:

beautiful song, would love to hear it in full, thanks for sharing :yes:

dude   youll have to let us know when its done,  cant wait to hear it ...

CJ

Hey man just saw your lyric and thought it was really good.....the only thing is that sometimes it is winter in june.....at least where i live it is :-), but hey who cares ? It has the makings of a fine song.

Got any update on when you'll have at least a demo recorded ?

cheers

Lol...

Well, that part is about to change anyway so it doesn't really matter...

Hopefully we'll be in a studio to "finish" the song in October.

Hey, I have a great idea! Since you said my singing was great in the other thread, how 'bouts I sing for ya? You record the instrumental, send me the track and I'll sing over it with my handy dandy microphone! Gee whiz Christos, it'll be a match made in heaven!  :love: You don't have to pay me or nothin'!

Thanks but I think I can handle the vocals on my songs...

What? No.. Let him do it...!!

Thanks for the advice. I'll think about it.

[thinks]

Ok, I'll do it. I'll sing my songs.

What will be out first, this or Chinese Democracy? :hihi:

I have faith in Axl... And I don't have such a good relationship with time frames...  ;D

Truman Capote just called, he said to let me sing for you.

Okay, that was kind of random, but oh well. I tried.

 : ok:

Great work Christos.

do it in 2 versions, one where RR sings and one where you sing it yourself : ok:

Oh, don't worry, against his wishes I have already recorded a version of myself singing those lyrics to the beat of a Clay Aiken tune. It sounds killer, man.

:hihi: :hihi: Which Clay Aiken song?  :hihi:

Hey sorry for bringing this back but I just wanted to say they are great lyrics, can understand and relate to them, and see how it relates to Axl also. Keep up the great work. Post some more songs if you got them. Looking forward to hearing the demo of this

i know why you still have not posted the studio version ... you gave it to AXL and it will be on CD  :smoking:

that is another good reason to wait for CD... :)

Great lyrics.  : ok:

Any timeframe on some audio?

chinese democracy will probably be out before we get to hear this

Soon...  ;D

I'm 100% sure this is true. Chinese Democracy is coming really soon.

Unfortunately the guy who is helping me with the music is a bit lazy. Good with melodies but lazy...

God, GREAT LYRICS!! you gotta records this song! amazing, well done m8!

Thanks a lot!!!

I promise to do something soon.

I know, I've said it before... but hopefully this time soon will be soon...  ;D

My offer is still on the table.  : ok:

damn dude 3 years and still no demo version at least?

U and Axl truly have loads in common. :hihi:

I believe my avatar says it all...

great,but where can we hear song

It's not ready yet. These are just the lyrics. Soon is the word...

I guess someone have listen to Estranged a lot...I know you wanted to do Estranged 2..Right ?....I like it..But this just crossed my mind..Estranged wannaB-song

That's not a very nice way of putting it.

I believe "homage to Estranged" would have been sufficient.  :)

Thanks for your "kind" words.

It's not a "wannabe" song, it's a song.

Yes, I have been inspired by Guns N' Roses.

Is there actually a melody for this song yet?

Lyrics look pretty good, but its all well and good writing "change of music", but unless somethings actually written then its pretty naive.

I wrote the lyrics with a certain melody in my mind.

The song was written in 2002. Since then, I've changed the melody a few times... I don't know how the final version of the song will sound like.

haha, i didn?t mean to be rude..But i?m pretty sure that when you wrote the lyrics..You had a vision of a 9 minute - rock-calssic-maraton-tune...But hey..iv?e tried that to and failed..But it lookes like you have not? : ok:...The lyrics are good..Not genius..but good..And i hope the song is about someone else than Axl ? it?s dedicated to Axl...but to write a song about a guy you have only seen on TV ( or concert) That?s..not real

Anywho..keep it up..and i?m waiting for the whole song to hit the site..soon ;)

It's cool.



I believe that it's obvious to anyone. I never said that I'm not inspired by GN'R...

In fact, on the very first page of this thread, in one of my replies, I'm saying that it is actually inspired from Nov. Rain AND Estranged.

So, you can't say I didn't warn you...  ;)



If you read the thread from the beginning you'll see that I wrote the song about me.

It's just that in the end it became a song that I felt like dedicating to Axl cause there were parts in the song that were inspired by him.

I am a huge GN'R fan.

When you write a song it doesn't always have to be about you. I've written songs based on a friend's experience. This particular song, I began writing for me. It took me about a year and a half to finish it, maybe 2, I don't exactly remember.

In the proccess I found myself writing and adding lyrics in the song that were inspired by what I've known about Axl.

Plus the fact that at that particular point, and after a very painful break-up, his lyrics had just saved my life. I'm still here cause of his lyrics.

That's why you'll never see me whining about anything. Yeah, I've been waiting for the album since 1993, yeah I'm diyng to watch a new GN'R video, yeah I'm diyng to listen to the new record. BUT I'll never tell the guy to fuck off if March 6th is not the date. Or if he cancels a gig on me. I'm 29 years old, and instead of having died in 2001, I'm still here, enjoying life to the fullest, going around the world watching GN'R live, making new friends, loving someone I never would have met if it wasn't for Axl's lyrics.

It's not obsession. It's a simple thank you for being a part of and saving my life with his lyrics. I'm not in love with the guy, I'm not obsessed with him. I won't stalk him to get an autograph. I had a chance and I never asked for one. I didn't feel like it. All I could tell him was "THANK YOU".

I love his art and I'm thankful for it.

So yes, this is a song I started writing about me but was also inspired by and dedicated to W. Axl Rose.

Actually, it's just lyrics, but hopefully, soon it will be a song.

I tried my best, with all the English I know.

So, it might not be genius like you said (which I never claimed to be) but it's the best of me, at that particular point in time.

Ohh..silly me, i should have read the first page first  :P

Yeah i?m a writer to, and sometimes when you write the song can slowly turn into a dedication to someone you don?t know..

But i didn?t say your song wasn?t real, i said that it wasn?t if the song was totally written to Axl..but like you said, it wasn?t  : ok:

And you said the song is about a fucked up time in your life...I see what you getting here..First of all thoose things in life sucks, but second of all that totally takes away the doubt from my side and provides the lyric with pure feelings, and that you also live to tell about it is great !

You have gotten some great response, and when you see my posts some maybe some ppl think that some jelaous brat is bashing it..But i?m not  :no:

You have obviosly putting alot of fkn time on this one and i didn?t mena no diss-respect

Keep it up !  :peace:

// Dennis

Any word on this?

Yeah, I'd love to hear a studio version of this song, it'd be epic.

Well, we have a huge problem finding a drummer... They're not that easy to find.

So, if you can reach Brain or anyone capable of playing any drums, it would be really helpfull...  ;D

Lol, where do you live? If you live in Jersey maybe I can get my brother if ya pay him. :rofl:

I believe that might cost me a lot since I live in Greece...  ;D

Lol, I forgot about that. Sorry man!

I'm sure adler could use the work... cant charge to much??  :hihi:

The problem with Adler won't be the money he'll ask... The problem will be what will the "rider" cost me... If you know what I mean...

I have many drummer friends but they live in Athens or Syros...  :-\  they are good, I can get you in touch.  :)

Plus if the song makes any money he's going to claim he helped you write it...and that you ate his spaghetti.

Hey Christos, I just read your song all over agin. The lyrics are really touching.

Have you ever recorded a demo of it ? Maybe just vocals with some melodies to back it up ?

Just wondering ;)

AMAZING!!!  :drool:


Peace

Christos, do any of the versions have piano on it?

Actually there is only one version (a demo) and it only has piano in it... and vocals.

But I wouldn't want to let it out yet.

It just doesn't sound right... yet...

OK Christos, thankx : ok:

Good luck with getting the song right, the way you want it :yes:

Just let me know if you need someone to do epic guitar solos.  :hihi:
