“Mr. Reed? It happened again…”

I’m pretty sure The Spine’s voice must register a 7-9 on the Richter Scale.

10 on the lowest notes.

For some reason, I want to do this now :)

"Photographic Memories PROTOTYPE" by David Michael Bennett

So I’ve never done anything like this before.
I’ve created a song in my miniscule down time working on Steam Powered Giraffe business stuff.

It was a sort of therapy for me to get away from all the hard work we’ve been doing in the group…stress and all that stuff…

The weird thing is…
It’s a Steam Powered Giraffe song, but it currently has no plans to be a Steam Powered Giraffe song. It’s not going to be an an album or anything that I know of….but I had to make it…I was compelled to.
That’s a bit weird…but it’s how I feel about it right now.
We’ve got tons of cool songs lined up for the album though…this just popped into my head a few days ago…and I made it instead of playing The Last of Us. :3

It’s far from a finished product…I mean I threw it together in a few days working like an hour or so each day. But it came together quickly…

This is just a prototype. So be warned!
I thew it together in a few days…
That means it is far from polished and not ready for human consumption.
You’ll have to excuse the cheesy synthetic horns…they sound bad.
Sadly I didn’t have time to record a full horn section in my down time :P
But they get the general idea across.
Even with that…
You’re probably going to pour it down your ears anyways because the temptation is too much!

Anywho…
This is a high concept song.
I’ll explain why…

Here’s the breakdown…

The Spine falls in love with a human warrior woman while battling bad guys with her. They both have katanas and it’s really sweet and awesome and cool and stuff.

They frolic together and are happy together in their puppy love, which blossoms into a caring and understanding of each other…but then one day they’re surrounded by bad guys again.

Epic battle ensues.
They’re kicking butt.
Hatchworth and Rabbit join the fray.

At the last moment The Spine dodges out of the way when a big bad boss dude throws his sword at him. The Spine cuts him down.

Sadly the sword impales the warrior woman and she dies.

The Spine is sad. Buries her and visits her grave when he can.

Think of it like a really cool music video that could be made if we had the time, money, and proper swords. Black silhouettes for all the characters during battle, white weapons, colorful hand drawn backdrops.

It’s cool right?!

Now imagine the song finished, with Rabbit and Hatchworth in it…and the instrumentation better and not synthetic…
Michael Reed adds his magic to the mix…and Sam and Bunny giving their input….then Steve tells me it’s not chiptunes and we play DnD instead…and Matt does some killer drum stuff..and maybe blows some horns for us…

AAAANYWHO…
I am sharing this with you all because it’s on the back burner, not slated for Steam Powered Giraffe currently (I got the okay to post it from Bunny) and making it was actually a bit more personal for me.

The idea and the inspiration was all sparked from a lovely lady who has made me really happy recently, and when I am in a good mood…I CREATE, even when we are pushed for time, in the middle of a gazillion shows, creating an album, and the timing is just bad all around.
HA!

But anyways…
there ya go.

This is not an Engineer-eteer exclusive.
Just a David Michael Bennett song about The Spine falling in love.
Art imitates life sometimes.

That’s weird right?
Me writing a song for Steam Powered Giraffe but not as Steam Powered Giraffe? I mean obviously it’s The Spine singing, but it’s me doing the song. Maybe it sounds a bit like Postal Service here and there…or Owl Shitty…or…whateverIdunnoknow…it’s a PROTOTYPE!

But now you know my lore ideas for The Spine’s lost love.
SUPER SECRET STUFF!

If I wasn’t coming down from a stressful week, I probably wouldn’t have shared this.

But I did.

never not reblog…I love this even though it kills me.

*sobs forever!*

Ughhh I thought this was gone forever but now I’ve found it again and it makes me happy but sad at the same time


((ooc))

Rebel and Wolf hold onto the song and never want to let it go again.

Oh god… I’m drawing something for this… I’m drawing something for this RIGHT NOW.

( sorry for the long post)

I have to reblog this becaus I like the song even if it’s a prototype. 

I can’t wait to hear the final version :) 

Here. Take my heart. It’s a bit broken, but I clearly don’t need it any more.

everyone please draw the spine finding a tiny baby horsie owl 

I can’t draw, but I can write.

Stand back - there may be feels.

*

After the dark and stormy night was the bright and wreckage-strewn morning. In the absence of the usual automated systems - knocked out by the city-wide blackout - the robots were the ones doing the heavy lifting.

Mostly doing the heavy lifting, anyway. Rabbit and Hatchworth were erroneously attempting to build a treehouse out of real trees. The Spine didn’t have the heart to tell them they were really building an inexpertly thatched hut. Not yet.

He’d let it go until something or someone caught fire.

The Spine lifted yet another branch and balanced it on his shoulder, but he didn’t take it to the shredder, because something small fell out of it.

Something small, pale, fluffy and wriggling.

Hardly wriggling at that.

The Spine bought up his emergency medical database and, fighting down the flashbacks from the wars accessed the veterinary data on avians. This specimen was a hatchling. Species - owl. It would need to be warm and secure.

The Spine scooped up the tiny fluff-ball in his other hand. Cradled it against his chest, where he was the warmest.

“Stay strong, little fella,” he murmured. “I’ll make sure you’re safe.”

*

Mixing up the special blend of baby owl food had been… gross… At least he’d had the sense to use a blender (after checking five times that Rabbit wasn’t around) for it, but handling all the raw materials was something he’d rather forget.

And he would tell Rabbit, later, about what happened to her third-best feather boa. And explain to Pete VI about why he’d suddenly needed so many socks. Or a calibratable infra-red lamp.

At least the cardboard box, in which the improvised nest and the little owl sat, was unclaimed by anyone for anything special. He’d set the whole thing up in the high, safe places of the Hall of Wires, where Marshmallow could never reach. There, he carefully fed the owlet with a pipette - yet another tool he’d appropriated and steam cleaned - and cooed encouragingly to the ravenous little creature.

He felt a warmth inside him that could not be traced physically. Love? He didn’t know. “You’re going to need a name, little fella.”

The owlet, annoyed that food was currently not forthcoming, let out a screech that was almost like a whinny.

The Spine smiled and fed him more food. “All right, pard'ner. Your name is Horsey. Good Horsey.”

Horsey the owl was just happy to gulp down blended mouse bits.

Rabbit has a sad look somehow :/ 

Of course Rabbit’s sad. Look closer. She’s wearing the uniform of a paratrooper.

They drop her out of airplanes at the enemy.

Very possibly not factoring in the extra weight of her mechanical body and giving her a standard parachute.

So every mission comes along with the risk of breaking her.

They drop her out of an airplane with a standard parachute and expect her to fire on people as she goes down, because there’s a high probability of her breaking to bits when she finally lands.

And she knew this.

That’s why they couldn’t get her to look happy for the recruitment poster.

She’s essentially free-falling ordinance. With a high probability of shrapnel.

You can NOT be happy about being that.

The robots are not anatomically correct.

[IMO this allows them to love more purely]

This song is called “Overdrive”.
It was an “idea” I wrote and recorded for a Steam Powered Giraffe song where we make fun of hip-hoppy-pop stuff while at the same time harmonizing on top of it all. I am not sure that’s what this recording of the song sounds like, but that was my inspiration.
I laid down all the vocals and tossed in a bunch of effects on top of everything after running it through Fruity Loops.

I don’t think there are enough “boom boom claps” in it though.
Too much pitch shifting chorus-ey effects.
Tempo not fast enough.
I got carried away with the some of the callback vocals and pitch shifting :/

This song is pretty old at this point…a few years.

The other band members and I joke all the time about making it a real song and fleshing it out and performing it live. I think we like it because of the rap in it. I am not sure.
Jon hates it.
Mike loves it.

I am not sure what compelled me to upload this rough song, but enjoy the super secret stuffs!!!

I love it :)

Thank you very much :)

Quick. Everyone reblog this with eargasm reaction pix

Wow, 160 notes on my silly post about bushes? Oh right, it’s not about the bushes.

Bunny has extremely rebloggable legs.

Mmmm. Mmm. Mmm. Love those new pants.

Just gonna leave this here for everyone that hates them. Every pelvic thrust and hip gyration is me thinking of you and taunting you.

Try and get them off me.

This post is still going around? And it just hit 1,900 notes? I’d say I was surprised, but…you know. I’m not. Everyone loves posts about bushes.

bushes :D
