.::IMP::. (International Music Project) *Check OP for instruments needed*

Thanks Markeh

And a couple of their songs:









I especially think the first one would be great.

I think that this thread could turn out some good stuff.

Cheers Thomas To repeat myself, the first two videos which I posted is what I think would be the nicest to cover, the other two are also very nice.

How about doing a swung version? Adding trumpet, swinging the beat, and swinging the vocals and guitar. Would sound pretty funky I reckon!

Which song? The first one?

EDIT: It already has a funky 'jazzy' beat to it, which can only help us

Yeah, the first one. Would sound awesome!

It would be perfect for a jazz cover. Now, we need to figure out who can play what in this song

You could be guitar, Doom on drums? Me on trumpet? Vocals? Other?

Just what I was thinking

Also, speaking of vocals, what are we going to about lyrics? Here's a quick translation from Google Translate, which is rather badly translated I must say. I'm too lazy to translate it properly, but we need to something to refer to if we decide to sing in the cover. Btw, I might want to whistle in this song Smile

Lyrics:

Day after day, still waiting for her,
all of me in captivity ,
Have I a dream or an illusion?
At that moment, as infinite,
no other secret glance
does not know how it looks.
Hike is a long time without beaten,
with the torch in the night
cheating is just this pallet fire
in me the love!
I saw a small acorn
pearl white, untouched,
Was it a dream or an illusion?
In this vast world
only with you a secret gem,
will know how it looks.
Maybe you just bizarre image,
torch in the night
perhaps only cheats fire, kindling
in me the love ...

Hmm.... we should try and make sense of it.

So we have:

(I'll put *xxxxx* round the things I'm unsure about)

Day after day, still waiting for her,
All of me in captivity ,
A dream or an illusion?
At that moment, as infinite,
*Every* other *person*
*Knows not* how it looks.
*Hiking along the beaten track*,
with the torch in the night
*Cheating is not a fire*
in *my* love!

I saw a small acorn
pearl white, untouched,
Was it a dream or an illusion?
In this vast world
only with you, a secret gem,
will know how it looks.
Maybe *you're just a* bizarre image,
A torch in the night
perhaps only ** fire, kindling
in my love ...


Your thoughts?

Perhaps we could edit those bits entirely so they make more sense, great job on the whole editing by the way

Thanks Just made it make more sense, really. Not sure about the 'Cheating is not a fire' bit though

Just listened to the track, thankfully I can make sense out if since I can understand it. The 'cheating' is actually 'to pretend'. So, it is a bit like this,

'I was pretending for the fire of love' Or something like that

That makes sense. Hang on, I'll compile it...

Better?

Yep, now it's my turn to edit Just check this post in 5 mins

Day after day, still waiting for her,
All of me in captivity ,
A dream or an illusion?
At that moment, as infinite,
Everybody knows how she looks
I don't know, how she looks
Walking along the beaten track,
with the torch in the night
Pretending for the fire of lo-ove!
For my lo-ove!

I saw a small acorn
pearl white, untouched,
Was it a dream or an illusion?
In this vast world
only with you, a secret gem,
will know how it looks.
Maybe you're just an image,
A torch in the night,
Are you an illusion,
in my love...

Will do.

Epic edit. I reckon that's right. *claps* So now for the music....

Done.

Day after day, still waiting for her,
All of me in captivity ,
A dream or an illusion?
At that moment, as infinite,
Everybody knows how she looks
Everyone, but me.
Walking along the beaten track,
with the torch in the night
Is this fire of lo-ove!
For my lo-ove!

We should edit this piece by piece, bit by bit

EDIT: Saw your post. Cheers. I still think we could refine it a bit, however yeah. Music. Lets make a list of people.

What instruments will we need? I'll add this to the OP, by the way

Guitar
Trumpet
Other jazz instruments (name a few)
Drums
Synthesizer

You can have guitar, I'll take trumpet, that leaves us with Drums, synth and something you missed out......... VOCALS! Maybe a sax aswell....

It's not an instrument

Ooh, sax will be good.

(Yeah, I'm doing homework too )

Yes. 'Homework'. I.e. facebook, here, spotify and photoshop
