Corky's Mother Saw It

Corky's mother saw it

This is the penultimate Corky Album posting. Or, I guess I should say it's the penultimate song, but there're 2 songs after this one cuz one of them'll be the backwards version. Then I'll start posting more general songs. This song's unusual in that it's not narrated by any of the characters. It's more of an omnipresent observer commenting on stuff. I think this'd be the song in the closing credits if this here rock opera thingy ever got made into a thing that'd have closing credits. Yeah, I think that's about right - this is a closing credits song.

Weird corkys mother saw it

 This is last week's song if you play it backwards.

For anyone new to this blog, the album I'm discussing is based on the movie, Skins. (Spoiler Alert)... It follows this character, Corky Red Tail, into the afterlife cuz he gets murdered in the beginning of the movie. Then he's joined by Mogie and Verdell, who both die of alcoholism in one way or another. The three of them work together to try to get a message to Corky's mom that he's okay in the afterlife. The most likeliest candidate to do that is Rudy, Mogie's brother, because all three of them knew Rudy when they were alive, so they're all connected to him in one way or another.

This is a sad sounding backwards song. It's about as sad as a backwards song can get, I'd imagine.

Trickster Wanna Bother Everybody and Me

TRCKSTR1
In this song, Corky gets cheered up when Mogie and Verdell tell him it's alright to be naughty. Indeed, being naughty is the way in which Corky can accomplish his goal (telling his mother he's alright in the spirit world).

This is last week's song if you turn it around backwards.

Word Search

WORDSRCH
This is one of those backwards songs where it sez stuff in English. It, like, a song about going off on a word-search. 

Death Songs Song

DTHSONGS

In this song, Rudy thinks he has Mogie's and Verdell's and Corky's death songs stuck inside his head. In reality, they're singing those songs to him from the spirit world. Y'know how, when spirits talk to people, people often confuse that communication with their very own thoughts? That's what's happening here.

I did 2 mixes of last week's song. This one is more rhythm section-heavy, if you wanna listen to something with a big-sounding sound.

 I did a mix with higher vocals so you could hear the lyrics better.

Here's another backwards song. This is the backwards version of one of my favorite songs on the album I'm posting, yesiree. I was all happy with the way this song and next week's song turned out.

Death Song Medley

MEDLEY02

I'm posting 4 days early because I'm not gonna be in a place that has internet later this week. I mainly recorded this song for shits and giggles, but you'll find out week-after-next that it actually does move the plot along. In this song, Mogie, Verdell, and Corky all decide to sing their death songs at the same time to see how they blend together.

The high pitched voice sings part of the song backwards because I found that it was getting too darn repetitive. That's why last week's backwards-song is partially in English.

Backwards Medley Thingy

This is the next backwards song on the album thingy I'm posting. It's got three different voices that sing different melodies together. When I finished, I wondered if it sounded a bit like Bach. But I dunno, man. I'm not as sophisticated as old J.S. Bach was. See, the picture is supposed to be Bach being not sure of what to think of this song. But I dunno if it looks very much like Bach.

In any event, the complexity of figuring out the backwards version of a song with 3 vocal melodies necessitated the use of a spread sheet. See?

This is my first spreadsheet-song.

Together

TOGETHER

After Corky expresses discouragement about Verdell and Mogie being dead, because he wanted them go get the message to his mom that he's alright, Verdell and Mogie tell him that their being dead might be to Corky's advantage. If the three of them work together, they can communicate more effectively with the living. Like, you know, if they pool all of their voices together, it'll be louder than just one spirit shouting. They make plans to communicate with Mogie's brother, Rudy, and try to get him to get the message to Corky's mom.

Weird Version of Together

Here's last week's song, but how it sounds if you turn it around backwards.

Trouble Singing Fearfat

FEARFAT12

This is the next backwards song. Geez, man, I'm barely keeping up with this cuz I recorded this one last week. Historically, in order to manage my anxiety, I'll have recorded songs, like, a month or so ahead of having to post them. Then I know I won't fall behind in my blogging-poops. But I've been lagging. 2018 is Lagging-Year.

In any event, some of the highlights of this song are things like "N(g)ivrifornia," "Dastifornia," and "Spastifornia." That's a special treat, if you're listening to this here song, while residing in California.

Why Did They

WHYDTHEY

This is the song where Corky gets real sad because Verdell and Mogie are dead. I mean, they're both in Heaven with him, but he wanted them alive so they could get the message to his mom that he's alright. I like how this one turned out. 

Weird version of why did they

Here's last week's song, when you turn it around backwards.

Backwards WHYDTHEY

 I wanted to put this one on, as well. See, this is "Why Did They" turned around backwards using Audacity (a sound editing program). I wanted to include it because it's extra-special magical sounding. The one I recorded last week didn't have as much syncopation as this one.

Everyone Stop

 This is another one of those backwards songs. My impression, when listening to it, is that it sounds like it should be the song at the end of a movie. You know, those songs you hear when the closing credits are rolling? That's what this song sounds like to me. It's one of those sad songs; it's sad because you're saying goodbye to the movie you just watched.

The dudes in the picture are Timmy and Bobby. They show up in a couple graphic novels I wrote. There's also a whole series of Timmy and Bobby songs that I posted back in 2009.
