Default You shouldn't be here ....(??)

allright.... I've had this song stuck in my head for the past 2 or 3 days ! ... soo i've decided to stop fighting it and just listen to it a loooot and find out stuff about it ... since i don't know anything about it!

anyways... i guess it's called "You shouldn't be here" ... right??
where did Damien Play it?

I don't really know what to think about it yet... it sounds like a work in progress.. its still raw i guess.. but it's got potential !!
I don't think i even know what it could be about! ... what do you all think about it?

here's a link to the version I have ... which i think i probably got from Marti's 4shared....

http://www.sendspace.com/file/fgchmn

Oh and since i already know it by heart .... here are the lyrics!
the line in italics is the one i'm not soo sure what he says! ...

You shouldn’t be here
I feel awkward and good
To be near you
watch you rip through
Paper wall

Time may stall
And I may be late
I want it now
But I guess I can wait

You by the bicycle
I hear you coming over for food
Feed my appetite
My mouth full of you

Time may stall
And I may be late
I want it now
But I guess I can wait

La ra ra ra raaa
La ra ra ra raaa
La ra ra ra raaa
But I guess I can wait

La ra ra ra raaa
La ra ra ra raaa
La ra ra ra raaa
But I guess I can't wait

you shouldn't be here
I feel awkward ...

omg i have this version in a different folder becaue it wasn't loud enough.. i never really listened to it too close.. but damn now that i have.. it's amazingg!! lol.. i so agree with u...

but about the meaning of the song; i'll generally take a guess what the song is actually about, but it's not super important to me, but always nice to know... any damo story i'd looove to hear.. but it could take away a little bit of that love for that song if it's not what u thought it ment... so i normally keep these kinds of things to myself.. :P i like to have my own thoughts of how it relates to me and what it could actually mean... :P

Never played again... Just that one time in Chicago last Dec...

I remember we didn't agree much on the lyrics, still not sure if it's paper wool or paper wood. Check it!!

On topic now: i edited so that it says "watch you rip through"... i totally hear that now that i've read it
Also i like "time may Stall" better instead of "stop"

But i'm not sure about paper wool... ??... how about what I wrote.... "Paper wall"

You shouldn’t be here
I feel awkward and good
To be near you
watch you rip through
Paper wall


I dunno... a paper wall it's easy to rip through...
mmmm i may change my mind ... that's too literal

SAFE BED(also paper wool) is a range of pure disposable bedding developed for all pets, from gerbils to Great Danes.


hehe or maybe he's talking about a bunny he wants to eat!

Also... right now i'm really loving the line "Feed my appetite
My mouth full of you"

Maria, I don't hear 'wall', for me it's either wood or wool... but maybe we need some Irish accent expert 'Wood' rhymes better with 'Good', but not sure if 'Paper wood' exists eh???

I was thinking that maybe someone can improve the mp3 quality and make it sound stronger, I know there are tools out there to do so...

I'd actually already edited it a bit before, I found a lot of new songs through a 4 share folder recently and boosted the volume of them and stuff back then. I can't remember how much I'd done to this originally but i've done a bit more and made it louder and I think quite a bit clearer aswell.

If anyone wants it send me a private message and if they have a sharing folder then they are welcome to.

For anyone that might care what I did to it, I cut off the beggining and end applause because it was too loud and I couldn't find a better way of sorting it so it fades in and fades out. Then tried compression and expansion but I don't understand either enough to make them sound nice and with both it sounded quite strange. Instead I removed the bass and altered the dynamics so the loud section wasn't quite so loud and it was more even and then boosted it. If anyone can think of a better way then please do. I did this all by experimentation.

P.S. I would say it was "wool" not "wood" because i can't hear a "d" at all but I'm not completely sure, he seems to give up on the word a bit.

I love that song. Especially the drums!!! And I think it's amazing how "perfect" this song already seems to be even though it's obviously not finished yet.

I'd vote for paper wood, btw. Just by the sound of the vowel before the inaudible last consonant.

Paper Wool:
A white disposable bedding suitable for nesting. It is important that this is torn and shaken out before use, as it is made up of longer pieces.

Hmm. Unrestrained worship sounds like the kind of thing that can make people big headed but I do like the knighthood idea...

If anyone has any other Damien Mp3s they want amplified then PM me and i'll see what I can do. That way I might get people to send me some I haven't got aswell (no such thing as a selfless good deed.)

Woohoo....I understand "like" to mean complete encouragement.....so Sir Benn it is!!

So Sir Benn....I was just wondering, do you think you would be able to amplify the new song at all? the Just Be Real With Me one? some of us seem to be stuck on a few words still

I was already loud so I compressed it a bit, there's bits of it that still aren't too clear what he's saying though. I really love it though especially the backing vocals near the end. When was it actually recorded, I take it it comes from the better days, before the leaving of Lisa?

If you PM me with your email adress i shall fulfill my knightly duties and send you it and you can have a go at working out the lyrics yourself

Yaaay!! you're incredible Sir Benn
haha nice to see you're living up to your title!

Ya, it was recorded quite awhile ago when Lisa was still around... this past March sometime, I think Marti may know the exact date though.

Hey, I just recorded the guitar part for this song and was gonna share it to see if people agreed with what I was playing because I'm fairly new to working out songs for my self.

Does anyone know what I could use to upload it?
