Discussion: MJJCommunity Charity Songs for Haiti Quake Victims

Re: MJJCommunity Song for Haiti Quake Victims & Survivors

Heres a VERY rough copy of the song
demo: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=2R274RX2
Lyrics:

What Can I Do

I’m done with sitting back
And watching it happen
I’m gonna do what I can
And try and make it better.
This world’s become a mess
I’m gotta make it better.

There’s people dieing
In the street,
While I sit by the fire.
It ain’t right that I’m here,
While they fight for their life’s
I think its time to ask

Chorus
What can I do?
To help you get through this
What can I do?
I do anything you ask
What can I do?
I’ll sail the 7 seas
What can I do?
To help you

Its seems that half of us
Don’t even give a damn.
There’s people dieing,
And they need our help.
Get up and get out
And just o what you can
Ohhh

Chorus


Earthquakes, Volcanoes, Tsunamis
There killing our brothers,
Our mothers,
Our sisters,
Our fathers,
Put yourself in their shoes
And you will see
How this could affect you and me
So you think you could handle,
Being torn apart family.
Well if you don’t
Why don’t you help those who have been?

What can I do for you?
My brother
When you need some help
Just call my name
I’m here for you
Whenever you need me.​
WOOOOOOW..!! Oh lord, You´re very talented! You got a nice voice too :)

Re: MJJCommunity Song for Haiti Quake Victims & Survivors

Thank You, 15 years of holding it in :p
I really want this to happen what can we do ?

We can start by getting a backing track. We could ask Tommy on youtube http://www.youtube.com/user/vwtommy unless someone else here is really good at it? Then we can assign lines to each person. Do you want to make a video or just a song?

Maybe it could be done similar to Man In The Mirror? (BTW I have signed up to be a singer).

I think if we all get together and all help we could get this released !! but I want to make a video aswell as the track. The one line per person thing may not work out as not that many people have asked to sing. I would like to sing is the bridge if thats okay :)

Great if you could send him the link to the demo and ask him for any ideas for background music as we still dont have none :(
 
Re: MJJCommunity Song for Haiti Quake Victims & Survivors

Im going to drop Tommy a line about this. Hopefully he gets online soon :)
 
Re: MJJCommunity Song for Haiti Quake Victims & Survivors

I have a idea for the chorus (from what raz2911 posted) that have it like the "what about us" bit from Earth Song.
 
Re: MJJCommunity Song for Haiti Quake Victims & Survivors

I can lend Vocals :p

what's this song gonna be called?

How about we all sing like We Are The World.

Does the lyrics have to be about Haiti exactly? Or can it be general like Heal The World etc. So we can use this song in memory of all those people... As MJ did.
 
Re: MJJCommunity Song for Haiti Quake Victims & Survivors

So, how would this work? Each person record vocals, separately, on computer and send it? ...I'm slow in this area, LoL. :scratch:
 
Re: MJJCommunity Song for Haiti Quake Victims & Survivors

This is such a wonderful idea. I'm so proud of all of you that are involved.
One of the families I work for have a adopted daughter that they were planning to pick up in June over there but now that's changed. They have headed over this morning to try to find her. Their other 2 adopted daughters also from Haiti won't stop crying & most of the time speak French which I don't understand.
Prayers for Haiti

Re: MJJCommunity Song for Haiti Quake Victims & Survivors

Re: MJJCommunity Song for Haiti Quake Victims & Survivors

Okay this is something I put together since the last hour and a half od reading this thread

its only brief and details the chorus, the "whistling" sound is what the vocal melody will be, lyrics for it "The World Is With You, Where Here Tonight, Everything is gonna be alright" at the moment :S
