** all the mp3s can be found inside the woohoos gmail

I'm also creating "structure" documents for each song, so we'll be on the same page when we play it, and jamming will go smoothly. If you're wondering what the timekeeping is for, see bottom part..

Coldplay - Clocks

00:00 (4 counts intro)

00:32 Lights go out and I can't be saved
00:36 Tides that I've tried to swim against,
00:40 You've put me down upon my knees
00:43 Oh I beg, I beg and plead, singing

00:48 Come out of things unsaid
00:50 Shoot an apple off my head
00:55 And a trouble that can't be named
00:58 tigers waiting to be tamed, singing

01:03 You are
01:10 You are

(2 counts empty)

01:31 Confusion that never stops
01:34 Closing walls and ticking clocks, gonna
01:39 Come back and take you home
01:41 I could not stop that you now know, when I

01:46 Come out upon my seas
01:49 Cursed missed opportunities, am I
01:53 A part of the cure?
01:56 Or am I part of the disease, singing

2:01 You are
2:08 You are
2:16 You are
2:23 You are

(2 counts empty)

02:45 You are
02:52 You are

03:00 And nothing else compares
03:07 Oh! nothing else compares
03:14 And nothing else compares

(2 counts empty)

(4 counts empty)

03:58 You are
04:06 You are

04:12 Home, home, where I wanted to go, I went home
04:21 Home, where I wanted to go, I went home
04:28 Home, where I wanted to go, I went home
04:36 Home, where I wanted to go, I went home
04:43 Home, where I wanted to go, I went home
04:50 Home, where I wanted to go, I went home
04:58 Home, where I wanted to go, I went home
05:05 Home, where I wanted to go

================

00:00 quiet intro piano and clapper/sticks 2 counts
00:18 loud intro 2 counts
00:32 piano fades to ambient sound
01:01 piano comes back, subtle gnawing guitar kicks in
01:31 piano fades to ambient sound
01:38 guitar two high notes
02:01 piano comes back, subtle gnawing guitar kicks in, builds up
02:16 vocals higher
02:24 vocals vary to lower
02:29 high piano notes, guitar ramps up
02:53 vocals prolong
03:28 all stop except piano and clapper, lingering guitar delay
03:43 drums kick in, piano higher notes
03:58 vocals higher
04:06 vocals lower
04:12 crashes start
04:41 drums and bass stop, piano and guitar plucking linger
05:12 all stop except piano

(I can't account for the bass parts that much lol)

.. we won't be very strict with these minute details YET, but I think it'd be good to have this so we know where we are in the song and won't get lost, which is what normally happens when we jam, and sadly we just take it as it is. If I have time I'll color code the "details" part to correspond to an instrument that needs particular attention. For example..

Cheng, Ling, Chris

02:01 piano comes back, subtle gnawing guitar kicks in, builds up
02:16 vocals higher

ooooh colorssss..

If this sounds complicated, well it is. We DON'T have to follow this YET. We can still follow what we've been doing before, since this will be an experiment, and we can't afford to go through an experiment 5 days shy from the real deal. But in case we need it for reference, it's here, so if anybody argues about anything in the song, there's proof to back it up :P I'll be printing these out on Tues so everyone has his/her copy. If there are comments/modifications to this, please send them my way. Any violent reactions, go jump in a lake.

See you on Tues.

Love,
Chris
