Song Information:

This is a little experiment in improvisation. I threw a bunch of electricc piano loops up and only listened to enough of them to figure out that it would probably sound okay. Didn't listen to them all, and had no real sense of where they were going. I wanted this to be a real improvisation. Next I threw some bass in, starting and stopping it on a whim; again, without listening. I repeated that with drums.

Finally, I closed my eyes and just started singing. What you hear is the improvisational track -- no lyrics written (rather obvious), no melody in my head, just letting the music take me wherever it wanted.

The loop style is jazz fusion, something I don't know much about so the vocals probably aren't very fusionish.

Anyway, I thought I'd share my little experiment -- all done in less than an hour (I did have to adjust a couple of levels afterward, as they were peaking) and done purely for the love of improvisational singing. I hope you enjoy it!

Song Lyrics:

Sometimes
You got to stand up for what you believe
Some times
Call for that

You won't be free unless you stand up
Just stand up
And be counted
For what you believe

Uh huh

Stand up
For what you believe

They'll try to take your opinions away
They'll try to make you say what all the others say
You gotta stand up
I said stand up
For what you believe
What you believe

Don't let them tell you what you have to believe
Don't let them tell you what you're supposed to think
Make up your mind, your own mind, your own mind, make it up and
Stand up
For what you believe
