There’s a new episode of the deconstruction of I Wrote This Song! Episode 3 contains a first attempt at vocals, real drums and adjusting the tempo, and an analysis of structural updates. It’s so much fun ripping apart old songs!
Below you can check the full acoustic cover of Propagandhi’s Less Talk More Rock by Willem and The Punk Cellist! During the pandemic Unscripted Moments (a podcast about Propagandhi) asked Willem to join them on 3 episodes. For those he recorded acoustic covers of Less Talk More Rock and Mate Ka Moris with The Punk Cellist, and he recorded vocals to Propagandhi’s instrumental track Contest Song with lyrics by Matt Milkowski. Find all 3 songs in this playlist!
Because we received such enthusiastic feedback, here’s the second episode of our series DECONSTRUCTING I WROTE THIS SONG! In this ep we’re analyzing the structure of the song, individual parts and connecting them, parts we eventually rearranged or left out completely and a confession about working titles.
Any insights you’d like to learn in future episodes?
As promised, another pandemic project: the deconstruction of one of our songs! I Wrote This Song is the song we worked on the most, we did like 60(!) demo versions, it only made sense to start with this one. In this first episode you’ll hear the track that inspired us, the individual riffs that led to the writing of the track, riffs we didn’t use and how we record ideas and turn them into demos. Find the first episode below, more to follow!
Is it a cover? A collaboration? Musical assault?
Unscripted Moments (A podcast about Propagandhi) gave us a pandemic homework assignment: add vocals to Propagandhi’s Contest Song. Matt Milkowski wrote the lyrics and Willem recorded them to Propagandhi’s instrumental track. Here you can find the complete podcast episode about the track.
Hope you enjoy the final result as much as we did creating it!
