New Ozma Songs on Myspace

[Ianny]

Hey, I like all these songs now! Great!

My statement is that I agree with his statement.  I like the new take on Eponine, Barriers is quite catchy, and Incarnation Blues is right up my alley.  Good stuff!

[kittenburger]

yeah that middle section on Barriers in unlike anything I've ever heard before!  I wonder how long that took to write!

[CT-700]

Well its essentially the same melody over and over which builds up each time until the climax of the section. It probably did not take long to write, but they probably spent a good deal of time in the studio deciding what would make it sound best; i.e. how to layer the harmonized guitar and synth.

As said before, truly Samuel.

[machatte]

I'm glad you like the new addition to Barriers. greg doyle wrote the chords and melody to that section - I then spent half a day writing the harmonized solo to it on my four-track. I'll post the demo one day for kicks!

[The Argyle Rebellion]

Okay, I know this may be a question that has been covered, but I'll ask it anyway.

Machatte = Ryen, correct?

If so, I have to agree with whomever said the new addition to Barriers is awesome... at first I thought it was a bit out of place, but once I heard it in the context of the song, I understood.  Good job on the harmonized solo, Ryen.

And to add this, though it may be off topic, I can't even begin to tell you guys, both you, Ryen, and the rest of the band, how much you guys have inspired me... I can honestly say that your music brought me from being a snotty 17 year-old kid who didn't know a chord in the book and didn't know how to write catchy songs to being a 21 year-old kid that still doesn't know how to write catchy songs but knows how to rock... thank you for giving me the gift to rock people's proverbial booty.

Wow awesome, thanks a lot Ryen

Yay HvH 

Haha another fine example of how the album is so metal.

[icecreamman]

So far my favorite part has to be when Dan comes in during the final chorus/outro thing ("oh it's rusted now").  Very solid.

[Jeff42]

Wow, this song is Samuel.

[Jordan]

heartache vs. heartbreak is beautiful. thanks!

[Kyosho]

YEESSSSSSS! The song I was dying to hear the most!   

Thank you guys SO MUCH for posting it!

[FireAarro]

Two drummers? Hahaha, cool. I like the ending. I'm refraining from commenting on the song yet, because it will likely grow on me in a while.

[wabut]

crap, I missed it 

[I Like Ozma]

i thought they said "i wrote a song it was love" instead of "i could have sworn it was love" i like my interpretation better than the actual lyric though. and when i listen to it i keep thinking its going to change to "were breaking the barriers whoa oh oh"


also, it is kind of sad that jose dont have any credit for any of the songs.

[CT-700]

when i listen to it i keep thinking its going to change to "were breaking the barriers whoa oh oh"

Haha, yeah I feel like that every song because of that promo video.

[brad]

that happened to me with the barriers solo - i keep expecting no one needs to know to come on.

i couldnt believe it was "you and me, UNsure" i always thought it was "i'm sure" and i liked that a lot better.

[Kyosho]

Okay, it's official, I lubs teh HvH.

It's got me thinking... I hope some day they do an acoustic show with all these news songs, that some one can boot. I'm a sucker for acoustic. I would love to hear HvH acoustic in its entirety. I mean, we got a taste of it in that Kate Moss Medley...

[FireAarro]

[Kyosho]

Incorrect. Ever hear of a little something called "D Song"? 

[CT-700]

Correct. All we need to hear is Lunchbreak. Which I guess is kind of dispointing, but there's going to be so much new stuff added to the older songs anyway so they'll be great. I think Lunchbreak is going to be good, because I know Ryen's myspace headline says (or atleast used to say) something like "If only lunch could last forever", which I guess judging from the official lyrics the song could be one of his favorite new tracks.

[Seb]

Underneath My Tree is D Song?

I did not know that. Fucking A!

Am I the only one, then, who's been constructing a mock-up version of the album out of demos and whatnot...?

[CT-700]

I've been thinking about it, a la Smile bootlegs/playlists of the '60s.

[SteveLikesOzma]

Holy FUCK, Heartache is Samuel.

"My shining armor is rusted now"

[brad]

[danorganplayer]

A few things..Who is Hipsun in relation to the band?...

mathew caws is on motorlogy.

hipsun in relation to the band...
i've recorded lots and lots of demos for them in the last year. i co-produced the album. i engineered a bunch of synth stuff. i mixed a song. i wrote the bridge on barriers. i recorded almost all the addison stuff, so when kenn joined i tagged along.

lunch break is quite a production. it has a drum loop and lots of synth lines. i has the the best/gayest line on the record "when you reached for the cupcake i knew you were my type of girl". that's all i'm gonna say.

my feelings about the album are mixed... but who cares what i think. my favorite band is www.myspace.com/makebelieve , so what do i know. if you wanna ask me specific questions once you hear the record i'll be happy to answer, but i'd like you all to have your own opinions before i say anything.

[danorganplayer]

DO you mind if i ask some questions now?...Im sorry if its bothersome but im really interested..

I do want your o pinion, how doe it stack up with there other albums?..

How did underneath my tree turn out, and what is I wonder like now?....Compared to the demo songs...

Thanks so much for answreing if you do...and those are some nice contributions u made!
lol sorry im a noob and out of the loop.

[danorganplayer]

Also..Can someone link me..or give me the kid icarus demo?...
