And how did this happen?

Artist’s Notes
(By Project creator Kim Noble)

How The Dorks came into existence—the behind-the-scenes story:

Starting with two lyricists who have a bit too much time on their hands, Tracy led the charge in creating some lyrics that jumped off a hilarious page
and kept the project going with his tireless finesse! But neither of us could have ever imagined that James Fraser from the grand UK country and Jenny
Brennan from the even larger country of Canada would ever take this to such a level that left Tracy and I speechless… and that is quite a feat. Adding
in a chorus of fun crooners like Dave Scheuner (California USA) and Jerry Eriksson from Sweden, well, you’ve got one entertaining tune that left us all
rolling in the aisles. And, since Jenny’s mixing skills will leave you wondering if we really are all together live… let’s put it this way… none of
us will ever tell. 🙂 We truly hope you enjoy this one-of-a kind tune and be sure to be on the lookout for the revival of The Dorks coming to a SoundBlend
arena near you! 🙂

Artists notes

How did this happen? Really? 😀
(By co-producer, mixer, Dork JennyK.)

I don’t know. Some how I got sucked into a space time warp engine and got chucked out in an alternative universe where JennyK mixes spoon, mandolin, and cowbell. Was it possible?

Well, it happened. And it’s one of the most entertaining songs I’ve worked on. It’s a lesson in audio editing and mixing that I’ll never forget. I nearly killed myself laughing when I realized what a jug track was. The Dorks are real! The Dorks will be forever awesome and I’ll be there for the revival. Thank you thank you thank you very very very very much.

Lyrics

Some people say we’re two of a kind

And that we’d quite agree.

I’m yin, he’s yang There’s no denying

She’s peanut butter; I’m jelly.

The truth about all of this show

Is to set the record straight

We’re the type that’s clear to see

To separate us would be a mistake.

CHORUS:

We may not be in our right minds

But it’s the only minds we have left

We may not be the thinking kind

It’s something you’ll have to accept.

When your bulb is not that bright.

There are few thoughts to regret.

We’d like to sing another line

But this is all we have left

Verse

Our mamas separated us at birth

The years completely froze.

We lived our lives in disarray

Until we found Kompoz. 🙂

So now we celebrate this truth

By writing down the rest

We call on you Our fans so true

To sing our Right Minds Left

Serrated – A Kompoz Collaboration Release!

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Serrated

Metal!

>

And how did this happen?

I came across this on Kompoz and really digged it. As a somewhat closeted metal head I simply love this stuff and I followed its progress from demo to finished. But I guess it wasn’t quite finished and they were kind of looking for a possible second vocalist. Billy asked me if I was interested.

Really? Seriously? Hahah, yeah sure. Shitting bricks I did give it a tentative try and I loved it. Billy had a fairly specific vision of what he wanted and after a few tries I did get it just right. Those vocals were added as a second verse and I couldn’t be happier with the result.

The next metal track is I would say a couple of steps up from this and who knows what’s next. I’m finally doing something I always wanted to try but thought I’d never have the balls to try.

Singers talk about finding their voice. I may not have decided which of the styles I play around with is truly me, but I think this comes very close to what I want to do. Another tool in the toolbox and another bit of polish on the confidence.

Lyrics

Verse I:

Serrated blade, caress my skin, and slowly let your work begin

I feel the cool, I feel the warm, I see the red.

From blue to red I’ve heard it said, I see it now, it’s in my head

I have control, you have control, now we are one.

Each kiss from you is burning hot my head explodes and time is stops

it feels so good, it hurts just right, now I’m alive.

Serrated blade, a gift of love, a time for us to share our trove

of secret times and secret deeds the scarring skin.

Chorus:

Serration, caress my skin

Serration, you know my world

Serrated, each cut a gift of love

Serrated, signed in blood

Verse II:

I lift my shirt for you today, where should we go, where should we play

I want to feel your loving touch, I want to be

Lay yourself across my skin and let the loving time begin

bring out my juice, for I am ripe I’m here for you.

each little slice, each little cut, each little rip, each little tear

I know you care, I know you love, I know your here

I give to you, you give to me, it’s up to us that we agree,

I’m here with you, your here with me, let’s begin

Time is gone, and here is now, you let me flow, you show me how

I’m here for you, you do me right, don’t stop now

Chorus:

Buy Hounddogs on SoundBlend – $0.99

Lyrics by jennyK

Maybe I’m a star; the crowd calls my name.
But I hear the howl, the call of the wild, maybe I can pay.
Put it on the tab right there.
Where angels fall to cry.
Telling all the people gathered there.
How it is that I was never here.
Telling all the hounddogs by my side.

I wonder how they do it; all I see is shifts in the sky.
And it’s feeling like I’m falling, heading for a hole in the ground.
It’s a fraction of a dime but it’s happening now.
So let the dogs out.

And it’s feeling like I’m falling.
It’s feeling like I’m falling.
At the bottom is the mawling.
It’s a fraction of a dime but that fraction is mine.
* It’s a fraction of a dime in a desperate run-around down-town where everybody goes down
*It’s a fraction of a dime in a runaway merry-go-round and then we all fall down.
*The howl.
*Let the dogs out.

Then I let the dogs out; I’m all, I’m none, I’m terrifyed.
Voices in surround is fine but they’re never quite in time.
A fraction of a dime on a spinning line.
Where dragons hold the snare.
Telling all the children buried here.
How it is that I could never care.
Telling all the hounddogs by my side.

I wonder how they do it; all I see is shifts in the sky.
And it’s feeling like I’m falling, heading for a hole in the ground.
It’s a fraction of a dime but it’s happening now.
So let the dogs out.

And it’s feeling like I’m falling.
It’s feeling like I’m falling.
At the bottom is the mawling.
It’s a fraction of a dime but that fraction is mine.

*Let the, the dogs out
*Let the, the dogs out.
*Let the, the dogs out.
*It’s a fraction of a dime and it’s holier than thou.
*Let the, the dogs out.
*If only I had time I’d do it all again.

And they stay.
And they wait.
Lay down to watch you as you sleep.
And they stay.
And they wait.
They lie down to watch as you decay.

*It’s a fraction of a dime but it’s happening now
*Let the dogs out, let the money roll.

Don’t you know I don’t know how to behave.
In this faster lane, and I’m running late.

I wonder how they do it.
All I see is, all I hear is you.
And now I’m falling, and I’m calling.
As I’m going down.
If only I had time I’d do it all again.
And again, and again, and again.
And now I’m falling.
At the bottom is the mawling.
I’d better let the dogs out.
Just for you.

Thanks for listening.

Audition Mix.

Lyrics (Audition Version)

When I followed you like a lost cheep.
When I hid every trace.
When I silenced, you turned around, you saw me.
When i fell and when i begged you.
Do you recall all that I wished to give you.
Do you remember all I wrote as in fever.

I live now only for you.
Only for you.
I live now only for you.

Så länge vi lever ska jag vara med dig.
Så länge dom levde så var dom i vägen.
You and me.
Du måste förstå.
Forever baby.

so listen.
Ja dom har klippt mina vingar, ska kärleken va så här_
Du måste förstå.
Du får inte gå.
Det kunde bara vara vi två.
Yeah they cut my wings.
Is that the way our love was meant to be?
You must understand, I was damned.
There could only be the two of us.
Like a bird in a cage I was waiting but the day has come.
Has come and gone forever and ever. Forever and ever.
You must understand.
We were damned.
There could only be the two of us.

I followed you.
I hid every trace.
You saw me.

Den jävla snuten kom ihåg mig.
Ja vad fan skulle jag göra?
Han var i vägen.
Va fan.
Jag menar, du drog ju.
I live only for you.
Jag sa vad som skulle hända om du drog.
When they let me out.
You and me together.
Du fattar ju noll alltså.
Destiny forever.
Jag sa, att jag var den enda. Visst?

Yeah they cut my wings.
Is that the way our love was meant to be?
You and me forever.
You must understand.
I was damned.
Forever mine.
There could only be the two of us. Yeah.

Like a bird in a cage I’ve been waiting but the day has come. Has come and gone forever.
And ever. Forever and ever.
Ja dom har klippt mina vingar, ska kärleken va så här_
You and me together, destiny forever.
Til the end of time.

Yeah they cut my wings.
Is that the way our love was ment to be?
Until the end of time.
You must understand.
I was damned.
There could only be the two of us.
Forever mine.
Like a bird in a cage i was waiting but the day has come.
Has come and gone forever.
And ever. Forever and ever.
You must understand.
We were damned.
There could only be the two of us.
Just the two of us.
Just the two of us.
Just the two of us.
Forever.

Lyrics – Jenny K Brennan

Have you said your goodbyes my friend, cause you have to go tonight.
I can’t really say I’m sorry, cause that would be a lie.

Come with me let me tell you.
You’re disease and i am a doctor.
I’m the judge and the jury.
I sentence you to die alone.

Have you prayed to the lord my friend; you might need a helping hand,.
You might think he listens to you; but that would be a lie.
You’re the pain I’m the killer.
Got you locked up in my cellar.
Have a pleasant stay.
I’m your fate and destiny.
The game is over and you lose.
Hear the clock how it’s moving.
Tick tick tick.
Squeeze your heart in that rhythm, that’s just how it’s played.
I’m the judge and the jury.
I sentence you to die in vain.

Can’t you see what is going on, what’s the point of agony.
Realize that the last you will see is the sight of me.
You’re the pain I’m the killer.
Got you locked up in my cellar; have a pleasant stay.
I’m your fate and destiny.
The game is over and you lose.
Hear the clock how it’s moving. Tick tick tick.
Squeze your heart it’s the ruling. Will it ever stop.
I’m the judge and the jury.
I sentence you to di in vain.
