Music Finally, an entire forum devoted to talking about Doktor Avalanche, the drum machine for the Sisters of Mercy. You can talk about other bands, or other members of that band, too, if you want to be UNCOOL.

pregnant soul (lyric)

giving birth is a hard work
giving life to a baby
it's painful,it hurts a lot
you see it dirty,you see it not alive yet
till the time it cries
i'd rather love the baby in my arms
after birth
than watching it while borning...

people talk a lot
not knowing a fuck about how we do it
music is our baby we see it borning
we give it birth we see its dirty face
you love the smiling lovely phase
after it is ready to be observed on plays

however hard it is
no matter how dirty
we love to take that baby out
we love to make it alive
you know,maybe I'd rather love it in my arms
but my buddy
Now I want to see it giving pain to me
Because this pain of music is making me adult!

I tell you, it's hard to really say anything good about the first and second verse. But they are very matter-of-fact regarding the pain (I guess) of birthing (not borning). Or maybe boring? Kind of obvious and repetitive, the first. But then there is the second verse, which is kinda cool actually. I could picture a japanese girl-punk band singing something like that. It would also be nice if by "phase", you meant the sound - phasing. The third could also be something, but that's just my warped mind hearing a german girl's drawling monotone atop a blanket of art-noise. Probably not what you had in mind when you wrote it...

You should maybe lighten up, though. I don't know, do you ever feel like the world hates you and the things you are interested in? Cheer up, it won't always be so sad! You could try to write about more positive things, in a poetic way. Have fun with language. Your English needs some practicing, but it's not so bad already.

Still, about those lyrics, I think the subject matter and the descriptions of the baby are gross. In the right musical context, they could potentially be funny, and even cool, but you could never, ever actually sing them. They would have to be spoken, in a weary, droning voice. Or something like Kim Gordon - from Sonic Youth - would sound like. They would never have a song like this, though. You should listen to some Mu as well. The Afro Finger and Gel album.

Idea about how to write somthing better (sorry!) try 'showing' rather than 'telling' if you get my drift. for example, instead of the hypotetical sentence "He walked down the road'
try somthing like "the wind whiped through his hair as he plodded slowly past the abandoned shopfronts." see, you describe what is going on, rather than just saying it. Describe the placenta! Yay!
