The Devil Exercise, for Musicians

Damn it.. I am locked in now
You bargain hard, Senor DEvil
MISIRLOU, and THE GODFATHER

You forced my hand...

But let it be known... approx 20% of time I get to jam on new ideas... so do you... else we'll go stir crazy.....

Before the Infinite Stars...Misirlou and The Godfather....

I put your question into an AI, and it apparently chose this song.

What will you sing?

And you sit up, like you've been shot with the balisong

Of a master guitar player. This one was just given to me

But I know it so well, It's my song.

If you want to know how to play it, I'll play it for you.

Go to the old jukebox and sing:

Banned in the summertime...

What do you mean? I mean I can't get this song out of my head

I keep getting it stuck on repeat.

Go take it off the jukebox, I'll play it for you.

I said take it off the jukebox, that's what I said...

Go take it off, I said go take it off...

Now, let me play you a song, play this one for me.

This is my song, 'It's time to get in the car.'

Now can I play this one? It's time to get in the car...

So, I'm your father, you my child, yes you my child, yes you my child...

Do you remember? Remember you stood next to your dad on the fence, you stood right next to your dad on the fence...

What do you mean, I can't remember?

It's the end of the school year, you can remember...

I gave you a

That last sentence appears to be referring to this song.

The AI wrote that's their song. Featuring these words...

"I'm a straight guerilla with it, cold hearted killa with it""

Judgment Day is coming.

I totaled a Chevy trailblazer , flipped it multiple times uphill barely missed the drop off when I lost control but luckily it grabbed traction when we were headed towards the rock instead. All I remember was that this song was playing and the world looked like it was spinning while I sat still.

This was on a mix cd that was given to me, i didn't know the origin for a long time and it was hell finding it years later, but it was how i made it thru the long bus ride to school without anyone talking to me

Why is it that when you lose someone, for any reason, it feels like you're suffocating?

I fell off track, but I have a direction now, not a destination


That should be around 15min, but I could've played memories for days
Sorry not a musician

This is the one OP

3-Chord-Jonesy comes out in stage and starts finger picking, barely tickling a string while pulsating his entire body.

Right now is our present,
a gift it would seem, but
a demented suitor, has captured my bein'

15 minutes to entertain you lot,
with your cell phones and lotions for itchy <banned words>

forced his hand, with his develish powers,
he gave a laughable option, i laughed alot

a lot of shit here, a lot of shit there,
when this field empties who will wander hare?

some fool who will try to entertain,
while the older and wiser contemplate 'where brains?'

calling us zombies and fools,
while everyone is the ultimate tool.

to call out each debate, to laugh at the lot,
of the miserable people who can't ever stop.

infinite energy, all things possible, and they
choose this hill, to battle and trot.

with their ponies and steeds they did
incredible things, and now it seems theyve
ran out of steam.

bigger and better! cries the leaders of sheep,
who hide in their wolves clothing, bleeting themselves
in their sleep.

they see visions of ruin, despair, all because of their
deception, which could unravel everything.

their jewels and their names, all traded for fame,
for fun and food, at expense of <expletive.

so <banned words> continue with <banned word> and
<banned word> <banned word> <banned word> and <banned word>

In main slash 10 min vid...

Crazy blues around 2:35...

I’m a Voodoo Chile, baby!

Should be numb.

Grateful Dead jam,

what else?

something along these lines

They were my own songs, from the albums I've been working on. I put them together and cut them to be 15 minutes and posted it as a demo. It's not anything almost anyone has heard.

If you cut it to your best minute ever, I'd try it out...

Glad this exercise was useful for you.

Stck around, and keep doing retakes, if you like.

This. I would play this. This is my best work to date. Then I would tell the Devil to go eat a dick!

I don't think you'd make it through it.
I chose the ones that summed up my experience, but 3 of the 4 songs on that list were not finished, missing parts, scratch versions, or missing mixing.
But thank you.
If you still want to try I may post, but it is a fair warning of work in progress.

My mistake- I understand what you mean now. Cut the 15 minutes to the best minute. That has not been done.

Mike check 123, Mike check. Is it working?

Is it comforting to think we're all here for a reason?
