Claws In You - 11/29/10

Scapey's Essay/Intro to the song:
Ok, so like, once upon a time this song is my second song of the year and, let me tell you, this is the one where I focused on a layer called drums. Now, when you hear this song, you will probably go "Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah--he totally did focus on drums, because you can hear there's a lot of drums and that is like the focus of the song." It is. What I did was, I was like "Hey, dad," and Dad was like "What?" and I was like "Let's put in a whole lot of drums like of different kinds, ok? Like, let's start with simple drums like 'ba-da-da-buh-da-duh-buh' or whatever, and then put in some cymbals like 'Kkkssssh! Kkkssshh!' and put in some, like, different...what else do you got that's like kind of like a drum?" and Dad was like "How about this thing?" and I was like "Oh! That sounds really cool! Do it like this 'Wakka-ja-wah-ka-wah...(whatever sound it is, depending)'," and what I did was I layered lots of drums, so you'll hear, when the song starts, you'll be hit with like a giant sound of drums. That was how I did it. Lots of drums.

And then I did put in some other stuff. I put in a bass. I put in a...a.sound, like a little "Brrring!" sound I forget what that was called. And I put in those, and then I put in singings over that, but the root of it all was the drums, and I did the drums first, that's how you know it was the root. So, the song itself is about the fact that I am actually tough. Not everybody knows that I'm tough, not because I'm not tough--I am--but because they thing "Oh, Scape is so cute! He's so cute!" I am so cute...but I'm also tough, and I just wanted to make sure everybody knows it with this song.
