Don't Feed the Trolls (Pt. 1)

Itchy guitar fingers. That what I had. So I thought, I have time, why not get the electro-acoustic. And I did.

I sat on the livingroom couch and thought to myself, what do I want? What sound do I want? What do I want to happen here? My mind was blank. But then I had an idea. I wanted to try and write a song that would begin the songs; a kind of opener. The first track on an album. The one that paints the picture for what is going to come in the rest of the songs. I had the idea of making it a riff that bouncys, like odd beats, and then I'd connect them up, so it would become a mess of simple beats. But that didn't happen... I could say I was disappointed with the result, but I'm not. It is a cool sounding riff. I have a little bit that is fairly easy in it, but sounds quite technical. I then came up with a funky quick sliding chorus. I still might try and add a solo part for it, but essentially in an hour or so, wrote a new guitar tune.

So I have several sets of lyrics I've had sitting about on my phone. So I put the lyrics entitled 'Don't feed the Trolls -Pt1) which is about people who deliberately leave abusive or harsh comments up on the internet, be it on social network sites or blogs etc. Those who leave comments like these are called trolls and it is advised that you don't reply to the comments, or as the internet phrase puts it 'Don't feed the Trolls'. I have made it part one, as this song sings about the ignorance of those people who put up stupid comments. However, I may also write another song about how it is a good thing people can express themselves freely in this way. I'll see though.

So I recorded a couple of voice recordings on my phone to remember the music and how I want the melody of the singing to go. I have also restructured the lyrics and tweeked them a little.

Don't Feed the Trolls (Pt. 1)

Make public x3
your thoughts,
Make public x3
your fellings,
Don't wanna hear x3
those retorts,
Don't wanna hear x3
those reeling people,
You invite attack, x3
With stupid comments like that,
Why are you surprised? x3
When you see life through ignorant eyes, ignorant eyes

When your thoughts x3
equate to nothing more,
Than mindless, mindless, arrogance,
oh so uneducated,
The white hollow x3
rectangular box,
Freedom of speech, of choice, of sound mind and voice,
The cursors flash invites
You to attack, you invite attack x2
With stupid comments like that,
Anyone, anything, your heart so
So so so desires,

Anonymity
Is bliss,
no sin can
come of this,
But it can,
and it will,
harm those who
don't agree with the troll

Capo on 7th (like with acoustic monster in the box)

I hope I can find some time to record this idea soon.

Watch this space,
Wullae
