Bang-Lyrics

Bang- Lyrics

 

(Verse 1)

Feel the power in the air.

Energy & excitement everywhere.

If you can hear me then scream.

I wanted to let you know that our time has come.

Just wanted to tell you that we aren’t done.

 

(Chorus)

Bang that drum loud

C’mon cut loose get wild.

Tonight is something extreme.

If you’ve got the power

Then c’mon with us

Let’s hear you scream

 

(Verse 2)

I want to rock you

Like no tomorrow.

Escape all of the sorrow.

When the beat takes over you can’t fight.

Get hypnotized by our sound

We’re ready to show you

That there’s no where you can hide.

 

(Chorus repeats.)

 

(Keyboard solo.)

(Chorus repeats.)

Bang!

In this together-Lyrics

(Verse 1)

There was a time we had obstacles

In our way but through it all we

made through okay at first we

started weak & just a bit rough

But in the end we suddenly got tough

There might’ve been times we wanted to runaway

But through thick & thin at the end of the day

 

(Chorus)

We’re all in this together no matter

what life can dish out

We’ll weather the storms forever

because in the end

We’ll show the doubters

just what we’re all about

 

(Verse 2)

We worked to hard to give up

No way we’ll ever quit (No way!)

We’ve got true strength on our side

(Yeah, yeah, Hey!)

We know the sky’s the limit

We know that true enough

We’ll wear our bravery as a badge of pride!

 

(Chorus repeats)

No way we’ll ever quit

The sky’s the limit. We got strength on our side

We’ll wear it as a badge of pride.

(Repeat 2x)

(Chorus repeats twice)

We’re in this together no matter what

We’ll show the doubters what it’s all about!

Pyrostorm's theme-Lyrics

This is a song that I wrote for my band & this goes out to all of the Stormriders everywhere! Enjoy!

 

Pyrostorm’s Theme

 

(Hard rock instrumental)

 

(Verse 1)

There’s nowhere to run don’t even try to hide

Better get ready for a really wild ride

We’re coming full throttle in your face.

Here we are ready to rock this place.

Can you hear it? The melody is humming

We’re getting things off & running.

Keep a sharp eye cause a Pyrostorm’s coming.

 

(Chorus)

Yeah this is it our time is now

Here we go ready to rock this town

We’ve got the fire & we’re bringing the heat

Going to blow you mind out of your seat!

So to all you haters you’d better get running.

Better watch out cause a Pyrostorm’s coming.

 

(Verse 2)

We’ve been on the sidelines much too long

Now is the right time to come out subtle but strong

But in the end when things are all said & done

We’re just out to have some fun.

We ride the razor’s edge & feel the lightning

We stay tough through every adversity.

 

(Chorus repeats.)

 

(Guitar solo.)

 

Watch out, all haters get running

Better beware there’s a Pyrostorm coming!

 

(Repeats 2x)

 

(Chorus repeats twice.)

 

Rock n roll there’s a Pyrostorm coming

I'm Not your baby-lyrics

This song goes out to all the girls out there. Enjoy!

I'm not your baby-lyrics


(Verse 1)

You can put in in a short dress
Make up, jewelry, & take down my hair
Suddenly you say I’m yours
Then your friends want to stop & stare
But one thing I’ll never be
Is a piece of your property.
So listen up real good
Cause I’m saying this only once.

(Chorus)
Just because you claim I got some skills
I’m not one of your cheap thrills.
I’m not someone you can call out
On your little score card.
I’m not your female dog
You want respect from me
Well let’s get something straight
I’m not your baby!




(Verse 2)

You smooth talk your ways
All day filling up my head with lies
Your words & your appearance
Are just nothing but a disguise
I’ve got you all figured out
We know what you’re really about
Give a listen!

(Chorus repeats)

(Guitar solo, Instrumental.)

We are a sisterhood we are proud!
Everybody shout out loud!

(Repeat twice)

(Chorus repeats twice.)


Call me what you want

But I’m not your baby!

An interview with Scott Mccrd

Hey there once again its The DJ coming right at you with another interview that I did this time it involves singer Scott McCord whose best known for his work in the Total Drama series & Bakugan. He also does music as the leader of his band called The Bona fied Truth.

1) I got started in music by my mom. She was a piano teacher that taught classical music. She plopped me down on the bench at the age of 6 and got me playing. At that age, I was already well versed in Elvis, 50s and early 60s rock, and early Beatles music. I had a Mickey Mouse record player and played all my mom's records. I did that instead of toys really...so a lot of music in our house - rock and roll and classical. Bands came along a little later - in high school. I played keys in my first band, and eventually moved out front and started singing and playing a little guitar.

2) My inspiration comes from all kinds of things, people, places....my wife is a big inspiration. My life with her and our daughter is what's most important, and everything I experience and discover through them and with them is what usually gets infused into the music and lyrics. But I am also inspired by books, paintings, conversations, movies - music is very cinematic to me - I have very filmic experiences with music and see a lot of my songs as scenes almost, like they could be from a movie. Artists of course - Al Green, Van Morrison, Los Lobos, Sam and Dave, Tower of Power, Bob Marley and of course the Beatles to name a few...I love Julian Schnabel's films and art, Picasso and Paul Klee, Terrence Malick's films and The Walking Dead! My wife and I love that show;)

3) Yes! New material coming your way May 2012. The band is in preproduction with our producer working and reworking new songs, old songs and recording our debut album in early January, here in Toronto. We are recording the entire band "live off the floor" just like they used to do it at Motown and Stax Records. We've also recorded a whack of live shows over the last year, and we will be releasing a bunch of live material in the spring as well. So, lots of Bonafide music coming next year. We are very excited. 

Unlimited -lyrics

Unlimited- Lyrics

(Verse 1)

You think I’m worthless?

There’s a lot more than you think.

You want to see what I’m really all about?

Well here it comes so don’t blink.

I’m not just you’re average girl next door

Deep inside I’m a whole lot more

 

(Chorus)

There’s nothing strange about me

I’m as tough & strong as I should be

I’m unlimited & that’s all I wannabe

I’m not slowing down till all’s said & done

I’m just looking for a good time

So lets have some fun

No way I’ll ever quit

Cause I’m unlimited

 

(Verse 2)

I’m the type that’ll see a task through

I do things my way that much is true,

I’m all revved up & ready to go

If there’s one thing you can’t tell

Me it’s a certain word no.

 

(Chorus repeats.)

(Guitar solo, Drum solo.)

 

(Chorus repeats)

 

No way I’ll ever quit cause I’m unlimited

Thoughts of a DJ: The music scene

Okay I got been diving through the archives of the music scene as of late & when it all comes down to it Some supposed artist that I've seen tend to worry more about there image rather than their own talents. & new singing sensations (If you can even call them that.)

It's the same thing every time just a good looking person lip syncing or taking credit for someone else's work. Even in concert these singers lip sync they don't actually sound like that off stage or in reality.  (It's either a voice track or enhancement.) & although some singers claim its their real "voice." It really is not. Also when it comes to the rock n roll hall of fame I have to side with what

Eric Stuart had to say about how they just induct random artists in there it's partly out of record sales or most downloads. What about the more iconic groups like the Beastie Boys or Red Hot Chili Peppers? Or even The Sex Pistols & the Ramones?

They've been around longer than any of today's singers & yet they get snubbed each time. Now I'll say this It should have to be not just about who's more "popular" but rather include the legends & icons. After all they set the bar for the music scene. (I may be young but I know music.) I should also mention that now some of the music isn't really as it should be. I've noticed that rock music seems to fall into the pop catagory now & speaking as a musician & rock afianado but THAT AIN'T RGHT!! In fact bublegum pop has pretty much taken over when it comes to rock music. When I think of rock that isn't what I want to hear. When you think of rock music you want a gut busting pulse pounding thumping drum solo.

The off the wall wail of an electric guitar. The soft spoken yet hard working melody of a piano & a deep sounding slap that's in your face from a supped up bass guitar. (Thats what rock music is to me.) There's nothing wrong with experimenting with other styles but don't classify it as something else.& I should mention if your at least going to give someone props when it comes to music don't ever overlook the singers that were concidered "forgotten" Cause when you least expect it they might come back just to please their fans & it's always great to have a learning experience for the next gen. Even if they aren't that well known you should give them props regardless. That & if you are planning on a career in music or show biz they thing you need to ask yourself as a performer are these

four questions:

Do you want to do this for the rest of your life?

How can your fame benefit yourself, your fans , & others?

Can your talents succeed you?

Is the world ready for you & are you ready for it?

These are some things that most up & comers forget the moment their egos take over some of them lose sight of why the got involved in the biz & what they set out to do because its a matter of I can do & say what I want with no limits & this is why they burn out. & It should be more about talent rather than image or gmmicks. They may work but in the long run stuff like this can wear on your fans & you should care more about your music rather than that or anything else.

One last thing: As much as it's cool to use a stage name or alter ego the best thing to do is to save it for the stage or when you're performing. Its cool just don't go overboard. Because I've seen enough of that Don't turn yourself into a gimmick or sell yourself out because as a musician that's the last thing you want to do. & if you want to be a good role model here's a thought STAY OFF THE DRUGS!!! PEOPLE ARE WATCHING YOU!!!

Yeah that's a big one because if you're  going to have people emulate your over move you might want to think about what you do beforehand. Well these are my thoughts mostly on the industry & what its become & it shouldn't have to be a popularity contest cause now that's all it really is. Recird sales & downloads shouldn't matter & neither should how many Grammy's you have. The only thing that should matter is what you think. Thank you.
